Technology is supposed to simplify things, not complicate it Providing them with the easiest way to get things done can not only keep your customer happy, but can also keep business processes streamlined. Customers already have a problem when they are contacting brands, and overcomplicating the process isn’t going to help. When it comes to customer service, this idea makes a lot of sense. Why would you want to complicate things when they can best be accomplished by keeping things simple and straightforward. But when you think about it, it can really be applied to just about anything. Throughout the years, this principle has continued to be applied to design, coding, and more. “The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complicated therefore, simplicity should be a key goal in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.” I always thought he had coined it, but after doing a quick google search I learned that this phrase was actually a design principle that originated from the U.S. The use of the phrase by my teacher was really the only reference I had for the acronym, but it always stuck in my head. Many years ago, I had a math teacher who always used the acronym KISS or “Keep it simple stupid.” It was written on the board in big letters and he used it to encourage us to solve complicated equations by focusing on the simple steps that we needed to get it done (instead of being overwhelmed by the complexity of the problem). ![]() ![]()

One needs to replace NPV with zero and solve for r, for which there is no analytical solution since one can't single out r in one side of the equation. Where r is the discount rate / interest rate and T is the number of cash flow periods with t denoting a specific period, C 0 is the initial investment while C t is the return during period t. If you wonder how to calculate the Internal Rate of Return by yourself or using an Excel spreadsheet, you would be surprised to discover that there is no analytical solution to the issue and the only way to calculate it is programmatically or by using tools such as our IRR calculator above. Some propose the modified internal rate of return (MIRR) for cases when cost of capital is to be accounted for. Another issue to be taken into account is that IRR does not incorporate reinvestment rates which are more directly tied to the capital cost. It should be used with caution since comparing it across projects of widely different expected lengths can be misleading. In general, it is best to combine IRR with other metrics such as NPV. ![]() It is often used to rank prospective projects on a relatively even basis. IRR is used to estimate the profitability of potential investments: the higher it is, the more desirable it is to undertake the project, while the lower it is, the more risky and overall undesirable. By definition it gives more weight to earlier cash flows than to later cash flows reflecting the time preference of investors. "Internal" in the name refers to the omission of external factors like capital cost, currency inflation, etc. It is also known as "economic rate of return" and "discounted cash flow rate of return", as well as a "hurdle rate" in the context of evaluation of potential investments. The Internal Rate of Return is the discount rate (interest rate) that makes the net present value (NPV) of all cash flows from a particular project equal to zero. Once ready, press "Calculate" and our Internal Rate of Return calculator will output: Enter the cash flow for each period (past or future prediction). That's true because modern monetary systems tend to drive inflation, but it's also true because sometimes you might be comparing an investment versus consumption – for example, a trip or a car.Using the IRR calculation tool is straightforward: simply enter the initial investment (tool says dollars, but it can be in any currency like EUR, Swiss francs, etc.) then select the number of years of cash flow you want to analyze (could be any period, actually, but maximum 25 periods). Money today is more valuable than money in the future. An IRR calculation can't help you much with time, but it can help you model out a few different scenarios for the future growth of your money. Whether it's time or money, we've only got some much – and when you are planning on spending either, you should be modeling potential outcomes. ![]() The Difference Between Money Now and the Future ![]() To set individual days for cash flows, use the irregular rate of return or xirr calculator. In the real world, it's hard to find an investment which perfectly returns money in uniform intervals. With modeling, you have to estimate the future cash flows of an investment, which you can then compare to the naive return you think you'll receive from some other benchmark, for example, the S&P 500. As a benchmark, it shows you how an investment, bond, or other cash-flowing instrument performed over time. IRR is useful both as a benchmark and to model for comparison with another investment. Thus, the IRR is the steady-state interest rate in a perfectly behaved investment that matches the real-life experience of cash flows. IRR, or the Internal Rate of Return, is the interest rate (or sometimes, discount rate), making the net present value of all cash flows in an investment equal to zero. IRR Calculator What is the Internal Rate of Return or IRR? In the tool below, enter whether you are putting money into an investment using a negative number or receiving money back from an investment using a positive number. Enter the cash flows of an investment (or planned investment) in evenly spaced periods, and the tool will tell you your periodized rate of return. On this page is an Internal Rate of Return calculator, or IRR calculator. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Photo mosaic maker philippines![]() ![]() It’s the perfect gift for your loved ones. When you turn them into a beautiful photo mosaic, and hang it on your wall, you’ll be reminded of all the wonderful memories every time you look. You have so many wonderful memories stored on your phone. Anything smaller than that, you're going to wish the small pictures were bigger.A personalized photo mosaic is a great way to bring out all your memories. So what you need to do is decide how large you're going to print it, and then set the mosaic dimension accordingly so that your small pictures are at least 0.5 x 0.5 inches. For example, if you plan to print your mosaic 10 by 10 inches, and you set your mosaic dimension to 100 x 100 tiles, your small pictures are going to be just 0.1 x 0.1 inches tiny, and you really won't be able to see any of the small pictures at all, and the mosaic will just look like a blurry mess. But higher the mosaic dimension, the larger you have to print it in order for you to be able to see each small picture. Higher the mosaic dimension, the better your mosaic looks, and more pictures you can fit into the mosaic. ![]() First, the mosaic dimension is how many tiles there are horizontally and vertically. Setting the mosaic dimension is a bit more tricky and restrictive. There is really no good reason to go over 60%, and you should try to set it as low as possible while you're still happy with the way the big picture looks. You can lower this to be able to see the small pictures more clear, or increase this to be able to see the big picture clear. This means your big picture is superimposed on top of the small pictures 40% big picture, and 60% small picture. This is precisely why you have control over the colorization, so you can try out different settings and figure out what you like. We try our best to set these for you automatically, but sadly, we can't read your mind. Some people like to see the big picture as clearly as possible, while some people want nothing to do with faking a mosaic, while some people try to strike a balance depending on their taste. So once you've nailed down the big picture and the small pictures, arguably are the most important things about your mosaic, you can start to hone in on your preferences. And if this is a surprise for your significant other, and you don't want them to know, just ask them to send you their favorite photos. You can allow other people to add photos to your mosaic, and it will mean that much more for the recipient. You can collaborate with other family members, or colleagues, or community to gather meaningful photos. Or maybe you're not the photographer of the family. So, while dumping literally all the photos on your phone might seem like a good idea, a better idea is to dump your "Favorites" album if you have been carefully curating your favorites album.īut suppose the mosaic isn't for your significant other, and dumping your favorites album doesn't make sense. Some of us have lot of food photos on our phones, but when you see food photos on your mosaic, doesn't matter how delicious it was, it doesn't compare to faces of the people you love. More important than the quantity of the photos, is the quality of the photos. We know we're all so very tired, and often times trying to be efficient and do the minimum possible, but it would a huge disservice to you if we told you you need a minimum of say 100 photos, and you just add 100 photos, when you actually have thousands of photos on your phone.īut don't just add all the photos. What the minimum number of photos needed to make a mosaic? And our answer is "as many as possible", but they will often keep asking to try get a number. So, many people underestimate the importance of small pictures, and often ask us this silly question. But a photo mosaic lets you do just that, all while creating a beautiful big picture that you love. And we can't just print all of these photos and hang all of them on the wall, as that would be a mess. We have so many wonderful memories/photographs stored on our phones, yet we rarely look at them. The big picture, with no disrespect, is just a very cool bonus after a while. It's a dose of happiness, and a splash of joy. This is what makes it fun, and what makes you look at the mosaic over and over. Every time you walk by it, and glance at the small pictures, it jogs up all kinds of memories. They think that's what makes a mosaic, a mosaic, but anyone who's actually had a mosaic on their wall will tell you, the small pictures are what they love the most about their mosaic. Novices want to see the big picture as clearly as possible. ![]() 5/19/2023 0 Comments Locad sequoia![]() ![]() Locad’s logistics engine syncs inventory from multiple sales channels, including Shopify, Lazada, Shopee and TikTok Shops, and manages storage and delivery through its network of warehouses and shipping carriers. This requires a network of warehouses and integration between sales channels, warehouses and shipping carriers. Robertz said that to deliver more quickly without paying more, retailers need to store products closer to customers to enable shorter and faster last-mile deliveries. It also meant they could no longer rely on “walled garden” fulfillment networks run by e-commerce platforms, like Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), as they scaled up.Īt the same time, consumers want faster and cheaper delivery, and offering multiple options like same day, next day or economy shipment is important for conversions at checkout. Legacy logistics infrastructure, originally created for B2B wholesale distribution, couldn’t keep up with direct-to-consumer brands as their sales channels multiplied. Robertz said helping Zalora scale up its logistics infrastructure “planted the seed of how a cloud approach to supply chain, with a scalable logistics infrastructure as a service, would be a better way.” During their time at Zalora, Robertz and Dargel also worked with brands that had to set up their own e-commerce fulfillment capabilities and tech stack in order to support multiple sales channels. Its new funding will be used to add more warehouses and transport operators to Locad’s network and on hiring in Southeast Asia and Australia, with the goal of building the region’s largest network of warehouses over the next five years. Last year, Locad was used to ship more than two million orders and it claims a 99% same-day order fulfillment rate. Its customers are spread across Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Hong Kong and Australia, and typically ship about 25 to 5,000 orders a day. So far, Locad has provided order fulfillment for 200 brands, including Havaians, Levi’s Reckitt Benckisder and Emma Sleep. Locad can handle almost every part of the delivery process, from inventory storage and packing to shipping and tracking. TechCrunch last covered Locad when it raised its $4.5 million seed round in 2021. Returning investors Sequoia India and Southeast Asia’s Surge, Febe Ventures and Antler also participated, along with new backers Access Ventures, JG Summit and WTI. This inspired him to co-found Locad, a logistics provider for omnichannel e-commerce companies that connects its network of third-party warehouses and shipping carriers with a cloud-based platform referred to its “logistics engine.”įounded in Singapore and Manila by Robertz, fellow Zalora alumni Jannis Dargel and former Grab lead product manager of maps Shrey Jain, Locad announced today it has raised $11 million in Series A funding led by Reefknot Investments, a joint venture between Temasek and logistics company Kuehne + Nagel.

Kitchen sets are a great way for kids to engage in their own make-believe world, whether that is cooking a meal for siblings and friends or creating their own play restaurant. One of the best aspects of a play kitchen is the way that your child can interact and use their imagination. A nice range of kitchen items broadens the possibilities for play," she says. "Whether they come with the kitchen, or I have to curate them separately, accessories are also a must-have for any play kitchen.

You can find accessories that go with your kitchen set or purchase them from a different brand. Most kitchen sets for kids don’t come with a lot of accessories-usually just a few utensils, pots, or play food. If you aren’t sure where you plan to put the set, look for one that can be turned or even separated into two pieces. Most sets are designed to be placed flush against a wall, but you can also find sets made for corners or even tabletops.
