It all happened before we were born. Should the Italians face up to what the Romans did?

Don't tell the Belgians.

Why are they worried? English isn't English anymore. In fact it makes sense to chose a language that isn't the native language of any EU nation. (I'm squinting regarding Ireland).

It makes no sense at all.

I don't really know of one.. I don't think automation is ever shunned as long as it is useful and known to be useful. Everyone likes things that save time.

There is an essentially an unrestricted demand for healthcare across the world.. they will use the time to either talk to their patients more (or start to if they don't already).. or they will move into other medical fields.. or increase the volume of screening.. (may be harmful, but that's another matter). They probably don't want to do it as it won't really save them much time. OR it will save them time and they have been burnt before. For example, early voice recognition was very poor and over promised. Stopped me using it for ages after it became fairly good. It's still not actually better than typing, but it is closer now. Let's all focus on voice recognition that works before moving on to grander plans....

I hear this sort of argument a lot in different fields. Usually it's because the IT guy doesn't really understand the business they are trying to automate or where the true pinch points or time savings are.

Don't remember anyone saying online shopping was a fad, just that a lot of companies were massively over valued.

There is near zero risk of a consumer loosing out with credit card fraud.

Yes. So you either pay income tax OR corporation tax plus dividend tax, but not both.

Must be nice to smoke what you are smoking. The "west" lost entirely in Vietnam. Just look at Afghanistan today... 20 years of war and they have been beaten again.

What you are describing is just a PayPal competitor.

(At least in the UK bank to bank transfers are free and instant for consumers anyway)

Think this is over the top Worst case put git repo on LAN.

So I have been using Excel every day for 13 years as an actuary. I'm also involved in the management of software project in c++.

You are correct. It's a combination of REPL like behaviour and being able to see the entire state at once that does it. Excel is the most agile programming environment known to man.

The approach used by pyxll is higher performance. It uses the Excel C API. Excel add-ons can be written as native DLLs known as XLLs.
