What do you guys think about a system that would 'guide' the user through the process of creating a star schema data warehouse (Kimball style)?

The advantage of this approach would be the fact that you do the dirty laundry upfront during the modeling & population phases. The end result is a data structure that is fool-proof, i.e. there is only one way to join facts/dimensions, it's self-documenting. In fact pre-joined views could automatically be created (and persisted if need be), giving the business user a clean structure to interact with.

data science? doing statistics on a mac...

'cure cancer' was just a placeholder for anything of greater importance to the human condition. However, maybe you are onto something. Maybe ads are indeed the lifeblood of the new interconnected, networked world of century 21 and beyond. I guess nobody figured out a better way to sustain life on the 'internets'. Yet...

Wow. Definitely, an interesting reading. And a special guy, no question about it. On the other hand, the guy didn't cure cancer. Doesn't it give anyone pause to thin that the topic of conversation is 'ads'? You know, those little annoying things you would never click, and which get in the way of your normal life.

I mean we're talking about billions of dollars. So much human talent, skill, intelligence taken away from really important things... Just sad...

How does this distribution play with the outside world? Will I be able to install other third party libraries into the distribution? Does it have its own 'installation procedure'?

You have got to be kidding!

First of all, I'd like to congratulate Ryan Carson on the idea of 4-day work week. Hopefully this would start the ball rolling on the whole discussion of work/life balance here in the states. It is such a great concept and I'm sure will attract a lot of top talent.

The only thing is, it needs validation. I hope the company does really well in the long run, and therefore puts 4-day work week on the table for others to follow. Wouldn't that be great...

Nope... Born in South Africa...

or how is this for the company slogan: "Good Data, bad people"...

This must be high in the runnig for "the stupidest EULA agreement" contest somewhere. If it doesn't exist yet, please someone start one...

Same here... 15" MBA is what I've been waiting for for a long time. I'm on 2nd generation 15" MBPro, which can die any day now. Not sure why this is not considered a priority for Apple, since it would be a perfect work machine (13" is just too small).

Bottom-eating scum...

what a bunch of f*&%en pussies...
