Paul is well out of his depth here. We can all sit around pondering the universe - that's easy.

Answering these questions is significantly harder - impossible given today's science.

This essay reads like the ramblings of a man who's smoked too much weed.

Paul should stick to tech start ups - if you want serious insight around science, space and the universe hit up people like Richard Feynman...

If you can't get your pricing page right you have to wonder what else is a mess under the hood at Atlassian

OP please do not focus on features, focus on benefits that address bite sized tangible pain points.

To be honest you're not going to get far smiling and dialling either. After a week you'll be burnt out and miserable.

Heh. I wonder what else we’ll all be subjected to quietly in the coming years.

Business Insider’s journos are low quality. They will have heard about the quiet quitting movement and now the word quiet is in vogue and they’re applying it to all articles because they think it sounds good.

The reality is all layoffs are made quietly. It’s not something companies like to shout about

Tony Blair made lots of mistakes but the idea that everyone should go to university was definitely one of the worst ideas to come out of him

For a company worth a small fortune Atlassian are totally incapable of designing good products.

Since they acquired Trello I’ve watched them slowly but surely overcomplicate the interface making the product less intuitive.

Based on the conversations between him and Dorsey, how fucked Twitter is which gives him little to build on, and how distracted Elon is by various other things I doubt it very much.

This is a very expensive hobby project for a billionaire that’s going to fail.

Just my view and I would love to be proven wrong

I agree, which is why I said in my post that I am generalising. I am sure that the market size for each model is not exactly 25% but nonetheless, if you ditch models you ditch access to specific markets.

Shame we don't have the model sales numbers from Tesla to be more specific here.

I am generalising but if you have 4 models currently and stop making 3 of them (75%) you run the risk of alienating 75% of prospective customers surely?

Just sold 10% of my business for £1.1m. Sitting on it, waiting to see what the world does next

I find 4chan to be reminiscent of early Internet and makes me feel nostalgic for how the internet used to be before various mega corps scrubbed it clean.

Just tried to sign up and it says sign up is not possible due to a vendor outage :(

This would be impossible for us because despite hiring remote people from all over the UK we take photo ID and various other forms of identification as proof they can legally live and work in the UK.

I get how this would be a thing when you're hiring from other territories. Got to step up the checks and balances in that scenario.

Nice article but I suspect a lot of people who have worked on projects that advance an area of technology, or indeed civilisation, are quite happy with their anonymity.

I’m sorry but I just don’t see how “many will lose their homes”. Mortgage companies are ruthless but not in the business of turfing out families that legitimately cannot afford their repayments.

Evicting people is risky long winded and generally speaking their last option.

Unless you've got some data to back up what you are saying in which case I’ll shut up.

Edit: Lots of replies saying "but they're not charities etc...". Of course I respect that. I also respect that not all lenders are created equal. If you miss a payment to the mafia you're going to get a different reaction than say to Lloyds bank.

I'm referring to your typical UK high street lender. They will not hoof you out of your house if you miss or under pay on one or two payments. Of course, if you do not engage with them and setup a repayment plan - then they will of course take further action.

When I tell people about the long press spacebar feature they react like I’ve changed their (mobile) lives.

Rookie. It has to be a motorcycle

Zoho feels like the Walmart SaaS of the Internet. Still, an impressive annual run rate for a boot strapped business.

Quite the reign! Can't help but feel a bit sad really.

Good shout, she just died so London is going to be...different?

Microsoft Powerpoint

It's actually if you fuck a goat...

Correction: The planet is over subscribed.

Well bashing doesn't appear to be changing anything so can we try something else perhaps?

Interesting - nice to have a sensible debate on it. I think your idea is worth pursuing even if it's not perfect.

Young people should not be subsidising old people who no longer work - especially those same young people who don't own house or have savings or a pension.

So you're saying as a result of these two positions that he holds he cannot possibly be wrong and I should blindly trust anything he says so long as he shows some workings?

As somebody else in this thread pointed out the numbers don’t stack up. This thread is subjective at best

The nhs also has a shedload of funding.

Let’s not overlook the aging population in the UK please. There are many more factors than simply “the Tories are to blame”
