For some. For me I go to a hiking or cooking event and I get 1-2 potential dates. There is a lot of noise on Tinder and similar, lots of people with interests too different from mine and lots of people that go there to just waste time. I re

But it really doesn't. People will try to do simple calculations as they are used to do in Excel and they will quickly find out they can't do much beyond a simple pivot. Everybody I have see using Tableau is using calculations and

Not sure what kind of organizations you have seen, but Metabase/Redash would max cover 20-30% of the use and Tableau 80%. It depends a lot on the type of data you have, but anything beyond sql will not work with Metabase or Redash.

Every business process that has run for decades is complicated. Think how much bugs have been "fixed" and how many custom little things have been built. Managing users, expectations, deliverable of such things is very complicated.

The mess is probably on both sides. The issue is that management doesn't care about IT until everything breaks apart. This means IT is seen as cost and not worth the trouble to do well and keep in house. Then of course everything start

Uhm, so what is tv? Isn't it "discovery" too? 20 years tv was the way people discovered information, just as with google now. I think the fact that few companies are now successful and "loved" by customers doesn&#x2

What's the point of this comment? You know, this is exactly the same attitude every MBA suit has towards any new startup, until it's successful of course, then it starts praising them.

I wonder if there is an opportunity here for an unbiased certification process that ICO founders can request. Sort of like a Morningstar rating.

Well, if the top earns more they pay more too. On a serious note, I don't think this is a tax issue, but more of a scary direction for our economy. Where does it stop? How do we deal with inequality? How do we keep things fair? I mean

Difficult topic. You can make this argument on any new transformative tech. You could have made the same arguments about smartphones 10 years ago. On the other hand, I am still not clear how a pod that can carry max 12 people can compete wi

you can't track classic media ads roi that well for starters they spend like 2 billion on ads, so all in this is a 5% cut they sell all through distribution, so they probably can't match ads performance and growth that well in gen

Good, but a lot of models have yet to hit production and here in Germany the only fancy electric cars you can see are Teslas... Also, I don't think Tesla's advantage is batteries as somebody here is commenting - it's software

If you are doing slides, then I'd strive to avoid scrolling. Either you scroll or your swipe, but doing both is kind of difficult. But I like the idea of small contained slides of content and graphs.

PowerBI is the best example, Tableau's stock price dropped 50%+ last year and I am convinced a big part of that is Microsoft stepping up their game in the analytics dashboard area, I covered this in my blog too. It's difficult to

OK, completely out of topic, but it's interesting to notice how broadly they use the term "data science". This goes to confirm my thinking that data science is becoming more and more an "all around data". The variou

If you put yourself on a very long term trajectory, say 500 years, don't you think the only way to make a dent on the situation is space? I mean, what else would you do as a species? How else would you make sure humanity has a bright f

Hey, where in Bavaria? I am an Italian living in Munich, funny, but I reached your same conclusions. I think Bavaria depends scarily too much on automotive and "traditional" industries. Said that, I have been able to make a dent o
