@intapp Thank you. I am not sure that I am, but my firm probably is. What is the Intapp client community and how can I find it?

@intapp the new UI on Conflicts looks terrible! It's harder to read and looks like it's from 2010. Any chance you could ctrl+z on that?

it’s heartbreaking watching good people slowly disappear into alcohol
slowly over time it consumes their entire life
takes their energy, clarity, relationships, and most importantly their sense of self
you sit there knowing they’re in there somewhere, but less reachable every time
once you see it, it’s up to you to decide how you want to engage with it
get involved, or step back and watch them slowly drink themselves away
and the hardest part is realizing you can’t want their life back more than they do

@bendreyfuss A Screwdriver with really good orange juice is a far superior morning drink than the bloody mary OR the so-called 'mimosa'

@buccocapital @EmperorChud_ Sure, they raised prices too much too fast, but the reaction is overblown IMO. Business is not going anywhere and it's not like prices are static. They can *gasp* lower them again to be a bit more competitive.

@EmperorChud_ Do you realize how stupid that sequence of events is?

@AxonRick Hi Rick, shareholder here. In Italian soccer one of the cameras is a body-worn "ref cam". The broadcast sometimes cuts to it.
How about outbidding/outperforming whatever offering they are currently using? Every Euro police chief watches soccer. Talk about mindshare.

Robert is thirty-six years old. In 1247, this is not young. Robert knows this. His knees know this. His back has known this since approximately 1239.
Robert lives in a village in Worcestershire with his wife Agnes, three surviving children, and two chickens he is not allowed to eat because the chickens produce eggs and the eggs matter more than the chickens.
Today is a Tuesday in March. Robert will describe it as a Tuesday in March. The concept of a 'week' as a unit of leisure is not yet something Robert has access to.
5:00am - Up. Pottage on the fire. The pottage is oats, leeks, and some dried parsnip from the autumn store. There is a small piece of salted pork in it, approximately the size of Robert's thumb. It is mostly flavouring. Robert eats around it for as long as possible, then eats it, then thinks about it for the rest of the morning.
6:00am - Field. Robert works the lord's strip first, then his own. The ground is still cold. His boots have a hole. He has had the hole since October. He has packed it with rags. The rags are wet. They will remain wet until June.
Robert is technically eating a plant-based diet. He is not doing this by choice. He is doing this because meat belongs to the lord, the deer belong to the king's forest, and the last man in this village who was caught with an unlicensed rabbit spent a period in the stocks that his family still doesn't fully discuss.
10:00am - Brief rest. Rye bread, hard. A small onion. Robert thinks about the pig that was slaughtered in November. He thinks about this often. The memory of fat is a specific and enduring thing when you don't have much of it.
1:00pm - Back to the field. Robert's average daily calorie intake is somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000 calories, the majority from grain. He is doing agricultural labour that modern exercise scientists would classify as extremely high intensity. He is, measurably, running on insufficient fuel. He is aware of this in the way that you are aware of things that cannot be changed: completely, and without drama.
4:00pm - Home. Agnes has made more pottage. It is similar to this morning's pottage. Robert eats it. Robert's teeth hurt. They have hurt for two years. There is no dentist. There is a barber-surgeon in the market town seven miles away. Robert cannot afford the barber-surgeon and cannot take the day from the fields. His teeth continue to hurt.
7:00pm - Sleep. Robert will be awake again at five. He is thirty-six. He will probably not see forty. The leading cause of death for men in his position is a combination of infection, injury, and the slow arithmetic of malnutrition across a lifetime.
Somewhere, eight hundred years from now, someone will describe Robert's diet as "ancestral," "plant-forward," and "aligned with the earth."
Robert would have a great deal to say about this.
Robert does not have the energy.

@HighyieldHarry Dude, I gotta say, I think maybe you don’t know what you’re buying
English

@netcapgirl Very exciting. Can you share any more RE what you're being hired to do? Like, invest in new media companies? Or work for a16z on their media, or portco media?
English

people are asking “will there still be banger tweets?” and “what about the dashboards??”
why do you think i’m joining
sophie@netcapgirl
i’ve spent enough time on the internet to know it’s the most important place in the world. it’s not separate from real life anymore. it is real life. i’m joining @eriktorenberg on the @a16z new media team to help shape the narrative arc of the future

@AdamFostermusic @vocalcry That was in the old days. No fault divorce changed a lot, as did phones (check your partner's phone is cheaper.
It's a lot of sitting in a van all day, peeing in a bottle, waiting to see if some bozo who wants insurance money/worker's comp for a sprained ankle is really hurt.

@vocalcry I heard it’s mostly just catching people cheating

@akramsrazor It's a monopoly that is growing very quickly. Of course it has a nosebleed valuation. Hate the obscene SBC though.

@SeahawksForever you should do a show exploring this and what we'd have to give up

@cocascola @buccocapital AI is going to impact the profession a lot, but not vibe-coded AI. SAAS offerings (with existing relationships) that can integrate AI will win IMO.
English

@Enron__Hubbard @buccocapital Big law firms are actually some of the places that AI is be adopted faster than anywhere else in the economy

@buccocapital Update: It's getting absolutely smoked after hours lol

@buccocapital Hi Artie, speaking of puking SAAS, you might look at $INTA. It's software used by law firms and other professional services firms. I use it every day. It is pre-puking into earnings this afternoon. Law firms are extremely stodgy and will not use vibe-coded bs.

@ragingbullcap "Buy a company so wonderful that even an idiot could run it, because one day, one will".
For TPL, that day came long ago. Used to be a huge part of my portfolio (still own some), but jeez Louise did management give me a headache.
English

$TPL One of my favorite investment cases to think through. Legendary...
Market cap has grown ~330x since 1995 from $61.5m to $21B - remarkable in its own right - but that vastly understates the outcome given all the capital returns...
I believe TPL has cumulatively split its stock 45x since Murray's write up. 3.075m S/O in 1995 x 45 implies 138m theoretical shares today. Actual share count today is half of that (69m). So capital appreciation on a per share basis roughly doubles to something like 650x due to buyback accretion.
And then there's all the dividends. I'm too lazy to add them all up and calculate the return if reinvested, but TTM dividends of $150m on a per share basis
are alone ~5x the initial purchase price,
while cumulative dividends per share since 2020 are >35x...
What drove this generational result?
Of course luck played a significant role (i.e. shale boom in the Permian) but in reverse engineering the thesis I'd argue he set himself up for luck by focusing on a handful of conditions that made a power law outcome possible:
1. Size: Tiny starting market cap in absolute terms
2. Cheap valuation: $50/acre (vs. average of $192 at the time) and <10x net income
3. Duration: these outcomes require assets where most of the value lies deep in the future. In this case, land is effectively infinite duration. Related to entry barriers: decades of survival requires some kind of moat. As Twain said: "Buy land, they're not making it anymore."
4. Optionality: an asset with characteristics that enable it to evolve to higher and better uses over time, even presently unknowable ones (i.e. grazing to shale royalties). Linked to duration in some respects: forever assets live long enough to adapt.
5. Asset-light/high FCF conversion: limited reinvestment needs means inflation beneficiary and ability to return majority of profits to shareholders without impeding the business' future prospects.

$TPL has grown at a 30% CAGR since this write up in 1995.
