Interesting! Lightdash introduced data apps yesterday as well. The results look pretty similar. Personally, I’ve always had problems with data apps, because they were kind of messy and difficult to organise/keep updated. With a product like Hex or a lightdash semantic layer behind it, it could work better.

I didn’t find a blog post, but here is a YouTube video and the docs page.

Yes, mainly driven by cost. BigQuery is really unpredictable when dashboards with filters are being used intensively by users. We don’t want to limit our users in their data exploration.

This is not how GTM server side works. There is not a single call to Google domains from the client, when GTM server side is set up to its fullest. The config (gtm.js) will be loaded from my subdomain and not googletagmanager.com. Also gtm.js can be renamed.

I think the article misses the point on what a billionaire tax and a progressive tax system in general should be about. Tax systems in modern societies are not solely about generating income for the state but to a part also about distributing wealth more fair.

We are coming from a time where the marginal tax rates were between 70% and 90%. Now it‘s under 40%. [1] This is probably one reason why we came to the point were we have to discuss billionaires tax in the first place.

I think this is a very narrow view on what’s possible with the tracking pixel. I can do basic cross device tracking with the help of this pixel as well as personalisation and marketing automation. E.g. More active newsletter readers get sent more newsletters or different marketing offers. Less active subscribers get nudged via personal sounding emails: „What did we do wrong? Do you still want to hear from us?“
