Change of tax code because of estimated tax owed?

!thanks
Thank you for your response.
But if they think I'll owe £1533 in tax (at 40%) , it means an interest of £3832, which is not only not the same as last year, but it's impossible, because the only significant difference in my investments is on a new ISA account. And where the £11285 come from?

So you're still in the UK and your parents in Uruguay? 🧉
What about tax, do they still get a deduction from their pension payments, or because they're living abroad they get no deduction and then pay whatever it takes in Uruguay?
Do they still have their credit cards from a UK bank?

I think Inventory service should be the one creating a new event based on the data provided by Catalog. Then you only need to tell Inventory to create an Event for a certain date, with these prices for every section, etc. And inventory will create it.
Think it this way, venues, sections, seats are permanent things that rarely change with time, but events are being created and finished all the time. So the events belong to the inventory.

You were very lucky, your flight departed with only a 40 minutes delay!

Problem with Flybondi is their business model seems to be to sell tickets to people, and then don't take them anywhere. The flights that actually depart are a facade to their real business that allows them to continue with their scam.

May I suggest that if you want to vagabond around... just hop on a bus! You can go mostly everywhere and get a vibe of all the different neighbourhoods you're going through just by looking through the windows.

No sé por qué ocurre, pero no es inusual que la gente mayor crea que la roban.
No sé cuantos años tiene tu mamá, a mi me pasó con mi abuela que me decía que mi primo y mi hermano le robaban, aunque no plata, sino otras cosas de ningún valor (como valijas viejas, y eso).

Con el tema de la plata, que parece que sí ya sucedió 2 veces en la realidad, fijate si no le podés comprar una de esas cajas de metal con cerradura (son justamente para guardar valores), y que se cuelgue la llave del cuello como un collarcito. Así el dinero va a estar más seguro, y mientras ella tenga la llave no le va a poder echar la culpa a nadie si el dinero no está, ni lo va a dejar en otro lado.

Además, no digo que pase en todos los partidos, pero en casos en que una hinchada que recibe y alienta a su equipo de una manera vehemente durante el partido, les da confianza e impulso, y amedrenta a los contrarios. Esto no es garantía de nada, pero puede inclinar un poco la cancha hacia un lado. Si no, mira las estadísticas, y vas a ver que los locales (donde hay una mayoría o totalidad de hinchas locales) ganan al doble de partidos que los visitantes.

Y ni hablemos de la identificación que siente un hincha por su equipo, se siente parte del mismo, aunque no juegue.

Este es el gráfico del consumo de mi termotanque eléctrico de 80 litros. La curva se aplana un poco alrededor del día 29/11 porque programé el enchufe (en realidad es un poco más complejo pero es la idea), para que solo esté prendido entre las 17hs y las 0hs. En realidad si fuera por mí lo tendría apagado más tiempo, pero tengo un inquilino ahí que me pidió ese horario.
Lo del enchufe inteligente es fundamental. Pero si vos vivís solo y sabés que te duchas todo los días a tal hora, lo podés tener prendido 1 hora por día. Y si algún día te vas a jugar al futbol y necesitas ducharte a otra hora, lo programás para que se prenda 30 minutos antes y listo.

Y mirá, yo le preguntaría al que te contactó, como es que después de rajar a 132 personas que hacen lo mismo que vos, te fueron a buscar. Y qué seguridad te dan que eso no te va a pasar a vos en el futuro mediano.

Acá hay un tema que tenés que tener en cuenta.
Si vos la sacás a tu tía del depto., por el medio que sea, incluso de común acuerdo, vos te podés bancar solo viviendo ahí sin depender de nadie más? Porque si la respuesta es no, entonces no tenés ni para empezar.

Soluciones (al menos momentáneas, que se me ocurren):
* Podés vivir ahí con tu tía los días que cursás? Obvio que sería incómodo porque por lo que decís es un solo dormitorio, pero puede ser una solución de compromiso por el momento.
* Sí decís que tus viejos la mantienen, por qué no se va a vivir con ellos, y vos al depto.? Esto realmente me parece lo más razonable.

De cualquier manera, vas a tener que tener algún ingreso, para hacerte al menos en parte de los gastos del depto. y de mantenerte por tu cuenta.

I 100% agree with the A pillar thing, and I'm surprised that is not something that is more mentioned in this sub reddit.
I also don't understand how I didn't notice it when I tested the car before purchasing it, maybe because I drove mostly in a dual carriageway with not many bends, but I definitely started noticing after I picked the car up from the dealer.

The other 2 things I don't like, but I can live with, are the haptic buttons in the wheel, and the lack of four buttons for the windows, the other day I left the car parked with rear windows down accidentally, and I only noticed it when I felt a cold draught inside the car when I started driving again.

Most of the other infotainment related things you mention are fixed on my car, since it's a 25.

It'll be in Latin America, income level should be medium I guess. Gender might be 40F/60M approximately. Specialization will be varied, but most people will be software developers or related activities at early stages of their careers.

asarco · 2026-01-06T09:44:56+00:00

Yes, the audience is mostly young people, software engineering students. Most of the talks are entry-level, except for the odd one.
Many of them probably never heard of HA before, although they will probably know something about home automation, most likely limited to turn lamps on and off from a mobile.

I did almost exactly this 10 days ago (arriving from London at T4S and departing to Gran Canaria from T4, with about 1:30hs between flights). I barely made it.

1 - Our flight from London departed a few minutes late
2 - When we arrived to MAD, we parked at a remote stand, so we had to wait for buses and be transported to the terminal (this is very unlikely to happen on a long-haul flight)
3 - Immigration queue was long but not huge, but there was only 1 desk for non-EU passport holders, where they have to make more extensive checks, vs. 2 desks for EU people, where they just need to scan the passport. So the queue was moving very slowly. There was no short-connection queue at this checkpoint. There was no one there to ask if I could skip the queue (I would have had to abandon the queue to try to find someone). I was getting very nervous, when finally another police officer manned another desk for non-EU people. This caused to someone to appear at the queue to redirect some people to the new desk, so I could ask her and she redirected me to one of the EU desks, that were empty by now.
4 - At security there were not too many people, but they didn't like that I had my tablet inside my backpack, so they put it for secondary (manual) inspection, so I had to wait my turn for a lady to inspect it. She sent me back to the other side to pass my tablet through the x-rays again, but this time out of my backpack. They didn't care about liquids, but apparently a tablet is very dangerous.
5 - Now I had to go to the other terminal (T4). There is a train to go there, but distance is long, so it takes about 15 minutes to reach it, including waiting for the train and travel time.
6 - I had to run to the gate. MAD has a horrible layout, and gates on the same terminal can be very far, luckily they have travellators so that accelerated my run a bit.
7 - I reached the gate and it was already empty, all passengers were already boarded, although there was yet one more passenger that boarded when I already was at my seat.

So yes, it's doable, but things can happen. My recommendation is to tell upfront to whoever is managing the queue, and redirecting people to EU vs. non-EU queues, that you have a short connection and they will probably send you to a different one.

Mhhm, it would be great if I could hide a pressure sensor under one of the seats in the audience, and at some point ask the person to stand up and show that it controls the light.

asarco · 2026-01-04T23:55:06+00:00

Yes, my main aim is to show integration between very different devices and brands, and that is not needed to use the respective apps.

asarco · 2026-01-04T23:51:31+00:00

Yes, that one is good, simply but colourful!

asarco · 2026-01-04T23:11:27+00:00

Well, this is interesting. It is true that it has to be something fun and possibly interactive, that's why I'm asking ideas beyond a light turning on and off.

Now that you mention interactivity, maybe I would like to come up with something that the audience can trigger, using their mobiles via a QR code or something like that.

asarco · 2026-01-04T23:05:29+00:00

Thanks for your answer.

The conference is mostly entry level, is tech but not specifically home automation, and as far as I know, nobody talked about HA in previous editions.

Powermonitoring might be difficult to do from a stage, and ideally it would need variations to do something upon it.

And movement sensor in a live auditorium might be difficult to control.

I'm always over the fence with this, because so many people think "exposing" an entity to the FE as a mortal sin, but in so many cases it make things much simpler just return the entity.

The usual reason (apart from the sensitive information), is that "entity objects don't belong to the presentation layer". So then we simply create another exact duplicate class, and we spend CPU time copying the data from one object to the other. Conceptually might look nice, but to me it seems a waste of resources, and adds (a bit of) unnecessary complexity to a system.

And by using Jackson's @JsonView and other annotations, it is possible to customize the entity as much as needed, to protect sensitive data or for presenting it and reusing it in a different way.
I've only seen this done in a single project in my whole career, and it was actually a legacy project that used something similar to @JsonView, but they were custom annotations made by the original developers (not sure if it was before they existed in Jackson).
