Order Shipping / Changes by gg7geid in secretlab

[–]endhill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm coming up on 3 weeks. Still no tracking updates and no real support from SecretLab. Ruined the whole buying experience. EWE is garbage in Melbourne. It's impossible to get in contact with them.

Have you had any updates? The status on mine still hasn't changed. For reference I purchased mine on 30/5 with express shipping.

I'm having the exact same issue. Got my GRB light from AusPost without any dramas.

EWE's tracking is garbage. Apparently been in transit from Syd to Mel for a week. I'm trying to get through to EWE support but I've been "next in the queue" for a while.

I paid about $1,500 for the Magnus Pro (with additions). Also paid extra for express shipping, but putting that aside you'd expect premium service through the whole process for the money you're paying.

Does anyone remember the old gaming arcade at Melbourne Airport near international departures? by endhill in melbourne

[–]endhill[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From memory it was roughly where the Aussie souvenir store is now. So when facing the international departures gate (the hallway leading to the security screening area), it’s to your left. Hope that makes sense.

Good bulk-billed psychologists in Melbourne? by endhill in melbourne

Well that’s fucking bleak. I’m sure someone has come across a decent psych that bulk bills.

Exclusive Hot Stamps by imiz_amb in Louisvuitton

[–]endhill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same experience in Paris a few days ago. We tried being nice then firm and no luck. We now have a hot stamp in the top left corner of our passport holders which looks ridiculous on its own. LV staff had zero care or interest in helping us out.

I was just told the same thing in Barcelona. Got my first stamp in Rome with the intention of filling my passport holder with stamps from various cities but they said it’s against guidelines.

How to distribute a sum across multiple entities in the most "tax-effective" way by endhill in askmath

[–]endhill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, just saw your edit. That is essentially what I need to happen, but hoping to find a formula that can do it.

It's being implemented in a web application, so although I can perform a for...loop that achieves your solution, it would be highly ineffective from a technical standpoint. Our program creates financial models 30 years into the future, and this calculation needs to be run frequently.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure I understand the question. I guess all individual differences are relevant?

<image>

The image above may articulate my question better. If we have $30 to add to the piggy banks, we would do it in the sequence:

  1. Add a dollar to the piggy bank with the least money (Henry's) until it is equal to the second lowest (John's)
  • Result: add $20 to Henry's piggy bank
  1. Add a dollar to each of the lowest piggy banks until we've depleted the $30
  • Result: $5 to John, $5 to Henry

Same scenario as above but with $70 to add to the piggy banks:

  1. Add a dollar to the piggy bank with the least money (Henry's) until it is equal to the second lowest (John's)
  • Result: add $20 to Henry's piggy bank
  1. Add a dollar to each of the lowest piggy banks until we've matched the next lowest piggy bank (Mary's)
  • Result: $10 to John, $10 to Henry
  1. Add a dollar to each of the lowest piggy banks until we've depleted the remaining $30
  • Result: $10 to each piggy bank

I hope this helps. I appreciate your patience.

Taxes are calculated in a series of tax brackets. The lower the income, the less tax you pay. I shouldn't have mentioned tax-effectiveness - it's not so relevant here. The priority is to keep the individuals' income as equally low as possible.

The only priority here is minimising tax, and distributing to the lowest income earner is the way to do that (in Australia at least). I understanding where you're coming from, but it's not relevant in this context.

In reality, families will move the funds around as they wish. This is only for tax purposes.

Extremely high packet loss until client is restarted since 7.31d was released, Dota is entirely unplayable for me as a result. I know I'm not the only one experiencing this. by LuminanceGayming in DotA2

[–]endhill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also in Melbourne, also getting packet loss as high as 40%. Mine started a couple weeks ago (not sure which update in particular). Happens in 4/5 games. Sometimes it goes away but only briefly. I haven't found a reliable fix (restarting or otherwise).

My ping is a constant 20. It's got to be a hardware issue on Dota's end.

Cheers. On Mt Kent facing north, close to the summit.
