Some form of the golden duo of INDEX and MATCH should do it in Excel. I suspect you could do it with SUMPRODUCT too if the tax table contains sufficient data (e.g. for each band a lump-sum + progressive rate may be necessary) but it may sti

You really need to provide evidence to some of your claims here. People have shown that NZ has investment pathways. It’s entirely possible he used them. If you disagree with those, fine, that’s your call. However, that doesn’t make it corru

Yeh, I could photograph and use OCR on the menu, but it's not as reliable because of the varying quality of the printed menu text. A second thing was realising that the realtime OCR wasn't as good as an image and then scanning aft

I never remember my dreams, and I suspect I'm aphantasic. As far as I'm concerned, 99.something% of my sleep follows the pattern of fall asleep -> void outside of time -> wake up. There are extremely rare fleeting moments wh

On the iPhone, you literally just open the camera app, point it at the QR code, and a drop-down notification will prompt opening it in the browser. Thus, it is absolutely looking for one always as you describe.

I understand the benefits of phyiscal menus, but I for one relied on QR codes when working in China. I could go into a restaurant alone and use screenshots + google translate to essentially feed myself. Without a QR code, it was a gamble as

I was talking about Australian voting, given the post to which I replied talked about Australian voting. Specifically, I was pointing out that in Australia, compulsory voting is great. I don’t really know about the US’s ghoulish pantomime t

And that’s fantastic. It provides impetus to the government to make it as frictionless as possible. It means I can be in and out within 5 minutes.

It’s the long date concept, promoted by the Long Now foundation [1] which promotes long-term thinking and gives a nod to this by writing years in 5-digit format. The irony with the GP’s post is that I can’t see using Bitcoin, with its curre

I think the more obvious option is for Apple to fold in a privacy setting to each app for photos, alongisde the one that controls which photos are avaialble, so that you can choose on a per-app basis whether the OS strips exif data prior to

For me, the key take-away from this story is right at the end, where he contemplates whether he short-changed himself. If you look at it on a per-hour basis, he got paid decently ($100 for a few hours work in the 80s? Incredible!). However,

This reminds me of a 1950s training video from the US Navy that I once watched that explained the function of the mechanical computers used for fire control of the ship's guns. I found it to be a really handy primer on how mechanical c

It is less delta-V to launch something out of the solar system than it is to drop it into the sun. Assuming you're not worried about nuclear waste leaving our solar system and becoming a problem for others, it makes absolutely no sense

I'm not entirely buying it. You might be a blacksmith, but eventually you'll become the master of the shop, take on some apprentices under you, and take on more high-level responsibilities. You might still get to work iron periodi

I'd suggest that anyone who understands the stigma associated with certain terms understands that there's more nuance to this than you're suggesting. See also: the UK's use of 'sleeping rough'.

This is an exceptionally wild take considering you're trying to compare the US's regulatory landscape to Europe's or Australia's. Both of their banking sectors are much more regulated. I don't agree with your conc

I am fortunate enough to be able to afford a 2br (65-70m^2 internal) to myself, so I have more than enough room and don't feel cramped. As such, I tend to go the opposite direction - 4 days at home, 1 day in the office out of obligatio

Those numbers are absolutely, sickeningly staggering. 1 litre of petrol produces about 2.3 kg CO2. That means, a bitcoin transaction is the same as burning 163 litres of petrol. Absolutely insane. I decided to do some more numbers. It means

Expanding on your comment, it's analogous to torque vs speed in cars. You wouldn't use a Ferrari to tow just because it has a high top speed and lots of top-end power. You'd use something with high torque down low and good ge

Thank you for the comprehensive response. All of your points are fair and I like your logic. Particularly, you make a good point regarding differing manufacturing locations and possible batch issues. I did not consider that. It wasn't
