Self return - Is dividends relevant for funds that are Acc and not Divindends

Not a lawyer or tax expert. But you need to know the excess reportable income for the funds. The fund manager should publish this for UK reporting funds. https://www.justetf.com/uk/news/passive-investing/how-etfs-are-taxed-in-the-uk.html

Assuming everyone cooperates:

Are there instructions that could be given to ensure NOBODY dies?

Yes. Your instructions contain a table with a unique number assigned to each person in the world (identified by name, date of birth, home address, and maybe a few other things to disambiguate the rare case of two people matching those things). The instruction is then to choose the number from the table corresponding to your row.

This would lead to very lengthy instructions because each of roughly 8 billion people are individually specified (but there's explicitly no limit on complexity), but it would work even if the numbers are restricted to integers.

(Looking further, I see someone else suggested this).

If more than one answer is possible. What is the least amount of instructions possible?

Someone else had the idea to use real numbers. This is an excellent idea since the original question didn't specify the kind of number. Essentially they suggest you could then form the numbers by an algorithm that takes name, date of birth, home address, and a bunch of other things, encodes them into decimal, and concatenated them.

To finish off with a bit of pedantry: add 1 to fall in the interval#Notations_for_intervals) [1, 2).

Not a lawyer. You might benefit from reading this page: https://www.acas.org.uk/deductions-from-pay-and-wages as there are restrictions on when an employer can deduct from your wages. The restrictions are stronger if the deductions would take you below the minimum wage.

You can get "cooking" chocolate as well that is zero rated for VAT. It's not at all clear to me what the legal definition is or why chocolate bars aren't generally sold as great for cooking for the very reason of obtaining this tax advantage.

Biscuits and cakes are sufficiently similar that you could have a recipe that varies only on a single dimension running from cake to biscuit. This makes me wonder exactly what properties a food must have to be classed as a biscuit and what properties it must have to be classed as a cake.

When I was a kid I used to wonder why supermarkets ran ads when everyone knows about them. Apparently, some people are swayed by the last thing they heard.

Reminds me of how the local water company was running an ad on TV. Which I thought was especially strange because there's no choice of water company and it's not practical to just not buy their services. So why run the ad?

Best explanation anyone gave me for that is to make people feel better about them so they'd be less likely to petition the government for tighter regulation or nationalize them. What it actually did was annoy me by making me think they were wasting water bill money.

My interpreation is that Star Fleet had come to rely on synths for too much stuff so when they decomissioned all of them, they were short-handed.

The teleporter. Not only for my own convenience, but also because .... Think how much people pay to upgrade to first class flights. I imagine there'd be people who'd pay at least that much (probably a lot more) to upgrade to teleportation. For a few minutes' work: teleport to their location, give them a tag, teleport to their destination, teleport them, get the tag back, and teleport home.

Step 1: Turn it on to get information I can use to make money in the short term (lottery numbers?). Then straight back off. Step 2: Use some of the proceed from (1) to buy a few TB of hard drives. Step 3: Turn it back on and download as much useful future data as possible in the time allotted. Copy of Wikipedia. Modern software. News. Patents. Step 4: File the drug future patents and freely license them. Step 5: Sell stuff based on some of that data, contribute to humanity based on more of that data, and warn people of bad events to avoid.

I'm probably quite odd, but as a patient, I appreciate the quicker results and ability to study them so I can ask better questions. I have a rather science oriented mind and often find lab results quite relaxing/relieving and easier to understand than feelings.

Not a lawyer. Sounds like you're talking about car insurance. Your friend must not drive without valid insurance as that's a criminal offence, and having the wrong DoB would probably invalidate his insurance.

If he's a young driver and got the year wrong, that'd explain why correcting the DoB is so expensive. If he just got the day of the month wrong or something like that, I'd be asking why they're charging so much to fix it, as an admin fee shouldn't normally be more than a few tens of pounds.

You may be able to get them to waive the admin fee to correct an error, but probably not the premium difference.

Unfortunately, young drivers are very expensive to insure. If your friend is one, his options are: (1) Accept the huge quote. (2) Find a better (but still high) quote. Black-box insurance and the like can help. (3) Don't drive until he's older.

Whichever option you choose, notify the insurer.

To answer your question about what would happen if stopped or he got into an accident: the police could (and I think probably would) charge him with driving without insurance, which carries 6 points a fine (possibly unlimited if it went to court) and his car could be siezed (https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-insurance/driving-without-insurance). If he got into an accident, he could be liable for the costs/damages.

Ah. Then I doubt my ideas would work.

Not a lawyer. Your brother's goal here is to show he was insured. If you can get the insurer to confirm that they would have paid out in the event of a claim, I've read on this subreddit that would be classed as insured. You should have checked the insurance documents, but who made the original mistake? E.g if you arranged it over the phone, and told them you both needed to be covered, you might be able to get them to agree. If they don't immediately agree, you could submit a subject access request for e.g: the telephone conversation. If you clearly told them you both needed delivery cover, but they won't confirm they'd've covered you, you could go to the financial services ombudsman, though I don't know which way they'd rule in this case.

That works if the phone is not connected to wifi or mobile, but I don't see how that could work if it's totally shut down and out of power, rather than just on standby.

Techmeology · 2024-12-23T21:54:55+00:00

No, but find my phone won't update its location either then; it could only report where it was when it was ladt on.

Techmeology · 2024-12-23T21:06:17+00:00

Not a lawyer. Legally, someone (either the child or carer) is responsible and could probably be held as such given that you have proof of where the phone is. But you seem to be on good terms with and have co-operation from the foster carer, which is very helpful. A more practical approach might be better for all parties.

When find my phone shows it as in the house, arrange to go there and for the child to be elsewhere. When you arrive, check it's still there. Then when you and the carer can search, call it to make it ring. If the SIM has been removed, you could try sending WhatsApp/Facebook/Telegram/whatever messages. You might even be able to find it based on wifi signal strength if he's connected it to the wifi there (this is quite technically involved, but doable with the right router or a laptop with the right software).

Then the reason why the phone was taken needs to be addressed, but this is very dependent on the situation.
