All of them were top notch PhDs. Physics. CS. Some were excellent teachers even before graduation. Others were at the leading edge of ML even two decades ago.

In short: it's not a superficial impression as a customer. I know their pros and cons from studying to social life during and after graduation, early career, ...

So, my POV is personal experience. Your POV is gossip?

Everybody I know, who is working for Accenture, has a lot of expertise and had outstanding degrees (not only on paper) for a reason.

If we had enough resources I would prefer working with them everyday over the surrogate counseling by an AI.

My bet: as soon as AI companies aren't able to subsidize anymore, we will see a renaissance of IT consulting.

Ad-merica.

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was laid

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

Applause to Anthropic: mission accomplished!

On the other hand I doubt that's intentional. Even as an avid Apple critic I want to mention that people I trust and are more involved with Asahi, always pointed out that Asahi received the occasional little help from Apple devs where possible (surely, not with official documentation, or confidential infos).

So, I would wait until things had time to calm down and not get too invested with Apple bashing.

And we have an iPad Air for educational work, which get used daily. It's not about the money per se.

Additionally Apple isn't very good in proper parental controls compared to family link on Android. Abysmal at best. So, why would I buy another Apple product with probably the same bad UX for me as a parent?

Not gonna happen.

It's in German.

The main critic is that Jan Emblemsvåg counts the subsidies for renewables into his cash-flow-analysis but doesn't do that for nuclear.

Nuclear was heavily subsidized in Germany.

Read it for yourself. Come to your own conclusion.

For me that's boring. I'm not surprised the pro nuclear agenda is pushed (again).

It's just a personal computer. It normally runs multiple operating systems just fine.

Windows PC sounds like people talking about tech who are either payed by M$, or embed pictures into Word documents to send them.

Nobody has to kill the fun those OS agnostic machine allow, by artificially bind them to a shitty OS.

Instead we get a marketing platform. Because "growth"... whatever that means until (and after) the next bubble pops. Plus: that euphemistic /bubble/ is more like a puss and cancer ridden zombie needing constant life support. Keep the numbers high, yeah! Cheer the numbers!

"Land of the free": I would call that BS.

Or isn't anyone allowed anymore to mention "Black" in the context of Epstein?

They will shuffle most gains around to the place with the lowest taxes. E.g. by internally buying and selling (overpriced) services.

The only realistic tax is coming from the jobs that serve those data centres (builders, maintenance, that little IT staff left for on-site jobs). And those are rather low margin jobs.
