Yes, an RDF format looks like a good solution. It appears that RDF is quite supported in python and that it also abstracts away persistance ( http://readthedocs.org/docs/rdflib/en/…

From a business perspective (and believe it, it hurts me saying that), this discussion makes no sense. It's like saying: 'are we in a PMIs bubble'? Or, 'are we in a multinationals …

Well, let's say that now that he saves 25k for the maid, he hires a gardner. GDP 225 again? So basically the GDP depends on the number of transactions? Is that so?

Agree. But usually business rules and exceptions boil down to filters and look ups on the dataset. It is difficult to keep up with that mess from outside, but if you deliver a way …

Well, at work I use Cognos. But it is clumsy and it forces you in its paradigms. Instead, when I dream or code (I am learning to code, I am a finance guy), I am making demos for th…

Again, in the first case the man is simply spending the 25k on the maid. In the second case he will spend the 25k in something else. That something else will then spend the 25k as …

Let's say the man invests all his money in a socks business. In the first case his socks business will demand 25k less. The maid will demand 25k more. I still see effect 0. I think…

You are assuming that investments don't bring spending. But that is wrong. If the maid does not get the 25, a company, a bank, a fund, will get it (as savings=investments). This me…

Please, don't just downvote. Do tell me where the +25 are coming from in the first case instead. It would something more productive to do.

The equation is Y=C+I+G. In the first case he has 175 of investments (I) and 25 of consume (C). In the second case he has 200 of investments. If some of the downvoters can please e…

Are you sure of this example? It does look like GDP is 200k in both cases. The first case looks wrong, if he pulls 25k from his savings, there will be -25k in savings (or investmen…

To me your arguments seems to be sound. What is 'scary' is seeing some prices out there. They are very low. I was looking at mixpanel pricing ( https://mixpanel.com/pricing/ ) late…

A link to some of those hacks?

Graphs is for business Agree on this. Especially the shiny and good looking ones. For a technical crowd you can stick with a black line. For business the format is as important as …

This looks good, what about the non standard browsers (IE<9, what did you think?)? I have been looking into d3 a lot lately, but if there is no good support for IE, then no way thi…

What's the problem then? Having management? 'Stealing' profit from the workers? You can't seem to understand that 1000 workers doing 'their' job may be hundrends of times less prod…

Workers are not pointed a gun to do the job. Given the opportunities they have, they are choosing this specific opportunity. This means that this service is increasing their expect…

The main challenge is that start ups, as it is normal, seems to look for top people or with lots of experience. The second challenge is that even if they would consider an unexperi…

For us business guys (and the term is broad, there can be also quite technical/numerical business guys...) is really a struggle convincing anybody that we can code. Yes, we have sm…

Could you be more specific on why this will not happen? As you say, in-web calls should be possible, why people don't compete against skype with decent web apps?

I am not from US, but indeed I do see as socialist any State that collects taxes. Socialism is a broad definition, I just like to use it like this because it shows that the problem…

As much as definitions are concerned, also US has only socialist parties. The first problem begins when your parties only discuss about further spending and never about expense red…

This is good news. But I am not sure yet if I would vote for them (usually I do not vote). Their economic policy seems not mature enough or too much towards an even more socialist …

Yes, but for 1 DTU there are plenty of other Universities aiming only at big numbers of students. Also, degrees are so inflated that companies keep asking for a Master even after 2…

When I was in Denmark I found really irritating the pay Danish students get for University (600 euros net). You can put it any way you want, but that creates all sort of bad incent…
