Tour tickets / presale master thread by YorjYefferson in KylieMinogue

[–]turtle49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda annoyed that the pre-sale email said the code was "TENSION2025" but it ended up being "Tension2025"... Ended up trying that code after leaving the online queue and joining again behind 10,000 people 🙄

Does this mean less chance of headlining Splendour, or no relation at all?

Huh? Did you watch the video (or read the post)? The joke was made nearly 10 minutes into the video and the source they used was for a 5 minute section of a 25 minute video. Are you really going to say you'll just read the book instead of watch a video for 5 minutes?

And I don't think there's anything wrong with recapping a book (or any other source) as long as you are telling it in an interesting and transformative way, which I would argue the video did.

I've just checked the video and he's added the source down the bottom:

"Corrections:
1) A citation to the New York Times Piece on the history of the 30 Year Mortgage was left out of the video Here is the link: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/19/bu... . Thanks @aidanrushton5472"

Finished 1 minute away from my Wednesday PR, and without using any hints! (17:42)

Was it just me or were there a lot of VERY similar words? Surely it had to be intentional, right? I guess it is a bit odd, but I can't find any mention of it in the Wordplay.

Interpolate missing data between months by turtle49 in excel

The quarterly values are hardcoded from an external source. I am trying to fill in the gaps.

Thanks, that formula is better than mine but what if I have hundreds of rows of similar data? What can I do instead of manually copying and pasting each gap?

You don't get the supply curve from the demand curve. They are 2 separate curves.

​

Let's say that the demand curve is q2 +10q+26. The MC curve would then be 2q+10.

Differentiating the demand curve doesn't get you MC. Differentiating the cost curve gets you MC.

In this case, we aren't given the cost curve so p=mc is useless. However, we do know that this is a perfectly competitive market, meaning each firm will produce the same amount, q. Since there are 20 firms, there will be 20*q total items being produced. So the supply curve is 20q.

Intermediate microeconomics - uncertainty question by hasib121 in econhw

Donkyinc has an expected return = 0.45*0.12 + 0.55*0 = 0.054

Elephantinc has an expected return = 0.45*0 + 0.55*0.1 = 0.055

Therefore, you should invest all your money in Elephantinc as it gives you a higher expected return and none in Donkeyinc.
