Yeah, they have been saying this since the industrial revolution, we are still here.

You don't rule your way out of not adding value. If you have millions of people jobless, that's a problem with or without EU, with or without capitalism. And no, basic income is not a solution. First, there is no money to maintain

It is amazing how we have been enjoying healthy growth and improvements everywhere in the last 100 years and people still think there is something to fight against "neoliberism". You don't trust a system where multiple agents

Well, I did study BA 1.5 years (for free in DK) and I have mixed feelings. From one end, it's just what the author says as there is a lot of fluff floating around. From another end, though, we did a lot of field studies, which included

Well, the issue with coding is that in theory a good CTO makes way more money. I am dealing with the same problem, though I am not sure what makes me happy exactly. I think sometimes we get into this carrier path thing and just move forward

For the life of me, I could never understand how to use Twitter. It seems it's getting even more difficult.

Fuel engine are improving too and oil price doesn't seem to want to go down any time soon. I'd say we have an interesting 10 years ahead. Electric is probably going to win, but time estimates are very hard to do. Don't forget

The way I see it, Apple either grows exponentially or linearly and I give those outcomes a 50/50. By the way, a company doesn't need to do 10x the stock price to deliver 10x to investors. They can pay dividends. They can sell divi

Be careful thinking Apple will keep sellng iphones and ipads. Their expertise and their cash can probably be thrown into a lot of industries with disruptive success (car industry, pharma, space exploration, etc.). Even the name, Apple, does

I am Italian, I live abroad and mostly speak English since ~8 years. The "issue" I face is that the dialect version of my Italian feels easier and easier, but I believe I still kept a good written version of the language. Few year

If they are providing their customers at least 10x that value then what's the problem? Customers decide, or do we want to go back to the Middle Ages and leave decisions up to kings? One way or the other somebody is going to manage huge

Not exactly looking for a cofounder, but I am working on few Tableau centric ideas. One that I will launch soon is a Tableau community to consolidate and curate content. Two maybe a Tableau service (a la wpcurve). I might be going against t

The 22% strongly agree in US worries me Edit. Wow, 44% in Spain? Seriously guys? 35% Greece. Somebody should correlate this with GDP per capita, I believe there is a negative correlation there to be found...

You rank low because of your history. Germans are proud to be Germans, they just don't feel right to say it. An interesting and very good consequence of this feeling is that Germany has not only very open policies towards immigrants, b

OK, before people start saying why the hell would you do such a sport. Not the same but similar - I did caving for a big part of my childhood until I was 20. I miss it. The connections you build with the people you do this are very strong,

Yet surveys put them in the top happiest countries in the world. I have to refrain myself from saying something overly generic here, but do notice the big contradiction between what you just said (which I believe is really true) and what I

And being slightly xenophobes... sorry, I had to say that, I did not feel very welcomed in Denmark, maybe it was the city or the ghetto I was living in (I did like the ghetto a lot though). Italy is a bit more welcoming, Germany is very wel

United States has 1 common language, you realize sometimes we move 200km here and we don't understand each other? But I agree, in broad terms we are more similar than not (we all agree on the same things on human rights, individualism,

Man, when do we stop this European thing? Have you tried to compare a kid in Naples with a kid in, say, Denmark? Come on, the kid in Naples will be a 24/7 hurdle, shouting in the street from when the sun rises. I even have a hard time

Well, I have never seen a healthcare system that works well for non-deadly issues like back pain and I have lived in Italy, Denmark and Germany. Also, at the end of the day somebody has to pay the bill, so either you pay with taxes or someo

For cancer yes, but for a back pain? It's very hard to make universal healthcare because universal healthcare is a very subjective term. The only way to make healthcare universal is to work out serious insurance plans and then make sur

Interesting, though physical residency must come in at some point, otherwise who pays taxes for the country you actually live in? But hey, if they start making good laws, I'd move there, as European it's very easy. But good laws m

While P2P lending and all the new stuff coming from new technology in finance (for individuals and businesses) can easily average above 6.5%, but taxation is horrible (it's part of the income tax in Europe). Taxation is the real shame

Match making is a very interesting topic, I had a go at a very simple algo few years ago: https://github.com/kfk/scripts/blob/master/match-date.py The output is clear: even random matching has a higher s

Agreed, but I am going to guess that the biggest problem is not the human-machine interaction, but all the hedge cases that eventually happen and require a human to make a decision. Also, consider that an outsourced analyst will probably be

Have you tried a human being as a solution? Software in the finance industry is growing exponentially, yet people are super confused - like confusing accounting with book keeping. What if you could outsource all your book keeping, accountin

Hey, this is very interesting, I will take a look. I am trying to shift a whole $700m division and then hopefully $3b segment on a new workflow paradigm for data (automatically refreshed dashboards instead of sending around excel files, foc
