I lived in DK, it's similar there (+ car tax is higher there). I think this new shiny culture is great in some regards: almost cashless society, very good tech in schools and Universities, very good IT in all companies, etc.. However,

The combo is high yield, fast growth, good price and dense areas (as in, you can serve your market on a bike). I did not yet run the numbers, but I think it can be profitable. Take rucola, which grows very fast, if you can make 0.5kg per sq

You can't charge rent if you don't invest into something. If you know how to get rent with 0 investments and risks, please tell me, I'll pay you for some consulting.

Capital is not abstract, capital is a production input (not sure the correct English name for this), the same as iron, concrete, flour, etc. You don't find any problems in paying for flour, do you? Then why is it a problem to pay for c

I visited the vulcano few weeks ago, it doesn't look that dangerous when you are on the crater, but then if you visit Pompei and Ercolano, well it's scary. The eruption of 79 AD pretty much destroyed the city, fossilized corpses a

Wow, everybody is super sensitive about women in tech, but it's ok to make comments like this? Talk about multicultural respect. Or maybe I am reading it wrong? Anyway, please be careful with this tone, it's very bad (as Italian,

For me as an all round analytics manager in enterprise there are plenty of pain points. I am not sure I'd call them ideas, but it would be great to share those, also to see who else has them.

Somebody figured out the best ETF around today to invest in this trend?

Can you explain what's the honest conversation to be had here? That "old" people should be looking for jobs outside of Tech? I am trying to understand your point of view. I can't even start to imagine how hard this gets

On a side note, any site like HN for data systems, BI, dashboards? Edit. To be clear I mean forums where business intelligence, data science, dashboard folks hang out. I work with Tableau and they have a big community, I am looking for site

Have you had a look to the finance world? Git for data seems to be something we in finance really need, especially the possibility of seeing all the changes and of reconciliating things.

Good, but I live in Germany and I don't speak German, so how do I read the content?

It would be nice if they told us the impact they expect from this. Considering this law may change an entire industry overnight - favouring the "green" box producers. Also why not a tax instead of a ban? I don't know, this sm

Can somebody explain me how we deal with the increasing size of a blockchain? I get moore's law etc., but other than that? I mean, it's trillions of transactions we are talking about. Federated servers? We break the chain in some

Whole towns got destroyed, all I am saying is let's just be mindful of this and the tragedy of this fact during the discussion. As you said, people can discuss different things, which is why I think it's ok bringing this up, it&#x

Wow, this is HN and what? Your comment is still completely out of touch with reality, there are lots of Italians reading HN, some might have lost their friends or family members and look, people are even downvoting my parent comment. Is thi

Right, 270+ people dead and counting and you are disappointed. I don't know, maybe a bit of reality check sometimes?

The most used BI tool out there, Excel, is self service and it has been so for at least 30 years now. SSBI is not about taking people out, it is about empowering them with the right tools. Tableau, for instance, is nothing more than an Exce

I am a business user that needs to use generated sql. Unfortunately, there are few column names that needs to be changed everytime. This is an easy job for a pyton script, but those kind of things are bad in work environments, I cannot assu

meh... for me number 1 should be: do they understand domain knowledge beats fancy analytics hands down most of the times or do they spend their time optimizing things nobody cares about?

Those are exactly the kind of ideas the finance world needs to get out of its ethernal mess of spreadsheets.

Core problems take months or years, depending on who gets involved. But low hanging fruits are everywhere and you should exploit them to gain credit and credibility. Just don't implement solutions that fix a small issue but then introd

Every time somebody mentions "Excel" and "add-on" in the same phrase I then have trouble sleeping at night. I have never seen a working add-on in Excel, it's all crap, nasty too. Also, the complexity is not in the c

OK... but where are decent user-friendly tools to manipulate, manage and share data and insights? Really, the problem is that to this day data in Corporations is a mess. The moment you step out of the standard warehouse systems you find you

The lack of financial modelling in most of the startup conversations is astounding. The poster say you should not make decisions only based on models, based on what then? Gut feelings? I know many people want to escape from Corporations int

You might want to do a comparison vs wordpress. I would love to use another cms system, but wp is not only wp, it is an ecosystem of products for building websites, how does forestry compare to that? Can forestry reduce my development cost
