Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that this HN account only posts articles from The Register on a daily basis and who's only comment history is providing archive links in a near automated fashion?
Based on their rate of posting and the near synchronized posting times a day, this account just does not feel like a good faith account.

Isn't that a breach of HN's rules? My understanding is HN cracks down on bots and bot-like behavior.

FYI, you can report these to HN's intrepid mods at hn@ycombinator.com (which I've done on your behalf).

#6Ah ah. Those discussions plague my calendar.
For the moment, as far as I am concerned, SAP is promoting in S4 their own ontology, aka SAP CDSViews, which creates a looooot of questions in our domain. Is an external DB supplier supposed to force you into its own core data model.
Just like if Oracle told you which tables you have the right, or not, to create.

At my age, I was done doing 24/7 that it would take to get it installed before S/3 licenses expired.

If I was in charge, I would go to SAP and say, unless we get huge relief on the cost, we will move to another ERP. I would have had this search active before looking at HANA.

I know Workday is working overtime on this. I’m sure Oracle and others are too.
SAP is giving companies a reason to switch and that’s always a scary moment.

S4 != HANA DB
