It’s time for the death of the analytics dashboard

By Veronica Tan 2 weeks ago

The demise of the analytics dashboard is upon us.

Dashboards are simply no longer able to keep up with the pace of business, and have therefore outlived their usefulness, according to Cindi Howson, chief data strategy officer at ThoughtSpot and host of The Data Chief Podcast.

Analytics dashboards take time to develop and update. The data that feeds the dashboards needs to be wrangled and prepared, and that takes the expertise of a trained data scientists or analyst. Then, as new questions arise, the dashboards need to be updated with more wrangled and prepared data.

2022 Dacia Logan Stepway Wagon Possibly Spied For The First Time

By Veronica Tan 3 weeks ago

Dacia ended production of the Logan MCV last October when it announced the subcompact wagon would live to see another generation but in a different form. At that time, officials from Renault’s low-cost brand refused to go into details, vaguely talking about implementing “intelligent development solutions” for the new model. Fast forward to today, we believe our spy photographers have caught the mysterious car.

Well, maybe it’s not that mysterious. The front grille design suggests it’s a more rugged Stepway trim level seeing as how the newly launched Sandero Stepway has the same grille pattern. We’re fairly certain it’s not

Hyundai 45 EV Crossover Spied For The First Time

By Veronica Tan 3 months ago

The Hyundai Concept 45 apparently has a production version on the way. These spy shots catch the electric crossover’s development in the snow. Unfortunately, it’s under very heavy camouflage, so it’s hard to get a good look at the upcoming model. Look for sales to start in 2021.

Despite the considerable concealment, there is a slight resemblance to the Concept 45. The transition to a road-going version forces the company to fit different headlights, rather than the bank of individual LEDs on the show car.

By Veronica Tan 3 months ago

We’ve all been there. The moment when you realize your car keys aren’t in the first, second, third, or fourth place you normally leave them. Now you’re late for work, or for a doctor’s appointment, or whatever equally dire situation that presents itself.
