58: News and Livebook for Business Intelligence

After covering the news we catch up on what Elixir things we've been thinking about and working on. Mark brings up using Livebook as a Business Intelligence tool for doing analysis of a running application's data. David brings up how to design safe data migrations in Elixir systems, examples from the Rails ecosystem and how he's thinking about that for Elixir.
