you can add the sailing frenchman -- great mix of caribean sailing, singlehanded racing, pretty down to earth:

I suppose it's time to share my dream excel functionality: Turbo F2.

F2 should enable the user to trace calculations back to the original data, not only the current calculation step.

In basis spreadsheet, this would yield a jumble of steps that are undocumented and hard to parse. But that's where the python, lambdas and custome functions come in: They enable legibility of turboF2.

The meritocracy trap, David markovits.

Super nice. A feature request: for each time zone, show the offset to sun time. Helps with the question: will 8am be like I expect it to be ?

Useful for outdoors activities.

I'll take this opportunity to ask for help: What's a good open source transcription and diarization app or work flow?

I looked at https://github.com/thomasmol/cog-whisper-diarization and https://about.transcribee.net/ (from the people behind Audapolis) but neither work that well -- crashes, etc.

Thank you!

Step 1 for all sailing outings. Super well integrated with most forecast providers… and for everyone else, better radar than the Weather app on IOS.

But the typical choice is between disability and unemployment benefits, not disability and work. How do they compare ?

The UK has an order of magnitude more people it considers disable than neighboring France, last I checked (15years ago).

When reading these stats, two useful things to do:

- ask yourself how people in similar situations would be categorized in other countries

- whether there are benefits to self selecting as economically disabled in the UK

92£/MWh in 2012 £, and indexed in inflation - on mobile and can’t adjust but we’re talking 120-130 now.

Looks like sampling on the dependent variable.
