Can anyone shed some light on quant funds please? https://groww.in/mutual-funds/escorts-tax-plan-direct-growth
I am seeing stellar returns and extremely low expense ratios but apparently since they're quantitatively managed algorithms, they don't account for things like corona for example.

That would be a DNS system for mailing address😂
Does this exist already??? I honestly need this, I have moved 3 times in the past two years and dealing with the postal service change of address suuuuuuucks.
I’ve moved the same amount—didn’t you just set a change of address with your post office?
Also, it’s 2021. Why do you have so much paper mail?

Try putting a sign outside your old house. See if that works better. /s
Unless you can fix their system, stop complaining.
Nothing would get fixed if no one complained. Change my mind

Related question: someone forwarded all his junk mail and ads to my address. It has been 1 year. What should I do?
I think there is a way to to register that person as deceased in some national mailing system, but is there a better way to do this?
P.S. I’m in the US
After a year the forwarding service ends so hopefully you’re good now
Seeing how USPS doesn't have enough money to maintain its current system, how do you expect them to pay for a major overhaul like you are envisioning?

There’s so many things wrong with the system you envision that it’s hard to know where to start. First of all, it’d only work for the USPS itself unless private companies were allowed to access the system. So UPS, Amazon, florists, Instacart, DoorDash etc would be unable to deliver to you unless you used your actual physical address. So this system wouldn’t actually replace physical addresses, it’d just replace one use case for your physical address with a lookup value in a database. There’s all kinds of uses for your physical address that have nothing to do with mail, and none of those would be replaced by this system. If you give people directions to your house you’re not going to tell them A123. You’re going to use a street name and number. I could start in on all the security issues and implementation issues, but it doesn’t seem necessary.
So the only use case for this is to enable your US mail to follow you to your new address. But we already have a system where your mail comes to the most up to date mailing address even if you relocate: it’s called mail forwarding. Use that.
I don’t think OP was advocating for replacing physical addresses, just creating a primary key of sorts so that when one moves, there’s fewer touch-points to communicate that address change
