Bloomberg is kind of a funny one in that on the hand it's extremely dense but the density is very local.

Lots of numbers in Bloomberg should really be a clever chart rather than a bunch of numbers. There's a reason why traders have so many screens, often so they can build their own visual equivalent of the pile of numbers e.g. it's nice to have a chart where you left it.

Speaking of numbers in finance: A problem I have using what I'll call "big tech data" tools in finance is that I often need to care very deeply about fractions of a percent whereas these tools are basically made for terabytes of sloppy data for use in a machine learning model.
