Android Shell Commands (for use with Tasker or adb)
##
# These commands can all be run as Tasker shell commands, or through adb
# NOTE ON ROOT: I noticed many commands work through the adb shell, but fail in tasker unless using ROOT. If you tasks fail, try enabling root for it

Created November 28, 2016 13:57
Calculating the amount of money you need to set aside to reach a certain amount of wealth. Basically reversing compound interest by brute force.
// This script is terribly inefficient, but on a decent computer it takes 1 second to complete anyway. I made it on an airplane while half asleep.
const target = 600000 // The target net worth
const roi = 4 // The assumed return on investment yearly
const term = 20 // Time until retirement
const start = 0 // Starting capital
const desire = 600000 // Desired capital
// Configuration
const verbose = false

Prevent Angellist from inviting Linkedin/Gmail/Facebook contacts not on Angellist
/*
NOTE: Made on Sept 20 2016, it might be that the site was edited since them
The below jQuery snippet will deselect any contacts you import from Linkedin
Usage: when prompted with the list of users to invite, run this in the console, it will deselect users not in Angellist

A simple script to calculate compound interest
// Input it initial amount
// Interest as a number, e.g. 5% is 1.05 on a yearly basis
// Length as number of years
// Name of this calculation
// Addition determines whether the input variable is one time or a yearly contribution
function compound( input, interest, length, name, addition ) {
var accumulated = input
for ( i=0; i < length; i++ ) {
accumulated *= interest
