A typical consulting acquisition for someone like Accenture could be $250-500k per head. I realize this firm is deeply specialized and at the top of their industry, but it is a massive premium.

With 600 consultants that is $9M per consultant. I realize they analysts and other staff, but compared to other consulting acquisitions which are often <$500k per consultant. Consultants are notoriously difficult to retain and often clas

IRS press release: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-announces-transition-away-f... Great news for everyone here. I still don't know how this provider was actually selected, but at least this change came relatively

Great article. Some of the Mac UI has changed in the last two years since this was written, but I at least figured out my main monitor had switched to 30 Hz for some reason and I have a better optimized scale now. Much easier on the eyes.

It has been a long and arduous journey to flat. Glad they stuck it out.

It is kind of amazing how often the "next big thing" turns out to be less than promised. Natural Gas was supposed to be this great transition away from coal and heating oil and it seems like it has nearly as many issues.

He's not wrong about some of this, but DHH has lost so much credibility that he's not a particularly desirable public face of this fight.

Totally agree. Makes me wonder what sort of back room dealing went on to select ID.me.

One interesting aspect buried deeper in the release is that United has gone out to make extensive financial commitments to get this fuel produced at greater scale. Putting these fuels to use is more than just testing.

Really pleasantly surprised at how progressive this memo is. It will be interesting to see the timelines put in place to make the transition. Btw - I'd love to see the people who put this memo together re-evaluate the ID.me system they

Hopefully this turns into a situation where consumers and technologists are the winners. Pat Gelsinger was pretty clear on how he felt about the situation with Apple when he joined Intel and it seems clear we'll see Intel continue to i

I agree. Hospital capacity is critical. One of the biggest mistakes of the pandemic is leaders not being clear on exactly what problem they're trying to solve and laying out how a manageable list of mitigations address the specific pro

I'm aligned that developers are the ones who pay the price. Apple gets consumers on their side and can turn that into leverage against developers. This is where regulation and litigation are going to be key going forward. I don't

Apple has already made it clear that there is only one user base they are interested in supporting. They've made a huge business out of supporting only the Apple way. It can certainly be frustrating in some cases, but that is the choic

I love the App Store on the iPhone. I realize it comes with Apple's oversight and values, but I generally feel pretty safe with what I get there. I don't feel the same way about Google Play Store. Maybe my views are irrational, bu

Collaboration technology startups are a ton of fun, but the problem is that eventually Microsoft always shows up to rain on your parade. Notion, Airtable, and Coda always knew they'd have to deal with this at some point.

Certainly an interesting read. Although, it really makes me think of the words of the Big Lebowski: "That's just like, your opinion, man" which I think aligns with his ultimate conclusion.

It doesn't come off as simply pointing out. How does he know it's obviously dishonest? The author likely felt otherwise. It just comes off as an entitlement that wasn't necessary.

I think it is great the company went the direction they did and I'm glad Brian is happy with it. The commentary that I find frustrating is about the "retaliatory and intellectually dishonest hit pieces." The press does suck i

I get those points, but Fukushima was 10 years ago so clearly it couldn't have been that urgent. Really this has been about reducing carbon emissions. It is clear now that the full impact of natural gas is much larger than originally u

Such a frustrating decision. Whether you like nuclear or not and no matter how bullish you are on renewables, I don't understand why they wouldn't wait until they'd shut down every other carbon emitting form of power generati
