What a great website aesthetic, takes me way back to when the Internet felt a lot smaller.


It takes me back to a time when I could find a wide variety of websites online. I love this kind of thing... Not something I would deliberately look for but great to stumble across it.


Tons of great little UI details and interactions as part of this release. Really, really good stuff.


That means a lot, Mike.


This is truly incredible, I can't wait to show this to my kids after school. Thank you so much for doing this work.


Agreed. My only comment is just how cool this is. Wow.


That's enough to buy some lottery tickets!


> Who else lobbies like Intuit?

Google spent $21 million in 2018. Facebook spent $12 million. Amazon spent $14 million. Microsoft spent $9 million.

Your point being? This discussion refers to an article about tax filing and Intuit’s efforts to retain tax code complexity and self-beneficial regulatory conditions.

Yes, companies like the ones you cited spend significant amounts of money to educate and persuade lawmakers. Academically I’d like to see what a world without lobbying looks like, but honestly, I’m not confident it would be significantly better for citizens (and may be significantly worse in some ways).

But that’s a tangential topic for a different discussion.


Numbers quoted in comment and link are total spent on lobbying, not on preventing easy tax filing.


The crux of this article is a PowerPoint slide from 12 years ago? Really?


If you hover your mouse cursor over the underlined words in the article (these are called 'hyperlinks' or, more informally, 'links') and then hit the left mouse button, your World Wide Web browser will display other documents which ProPublica used for their reporting.


> The crux of this article is a PowerPoint slide from 12 years ago? Really?

The article definitely focuses on more than a single Powerpoint slide. In fact, in the same sentence you cite, there's a reference to a 2014 slide.


Looking at the incredibly long and in-depth process Uber went through on their past branding, and how quickly they jettisoned it with their new branding after they changed CEOs, it just makes me realize how insane it must be to work at a company that would be so bipolar in their design and branding efforts.


Friends of mine who switched to Figma from Sketch say regular actions are much snappier than Sketch like panning and zooming around huge artboards. I really need to give it a try as well


The most recent version of Sketch (52) seems to resolve a lot of the general slowness around large files. It's Metal-accelerated now.

Love all the Thai restaurants in the Triangle! We moved from North Raleigh down to Apex a few years back and at nearly the same time a new Thai restaurant opened up less than a mile from our house that's really great. Working at home and having the ability to quickly grab Thai food right down the street is both convenient and dangerous for my diet :)
