Perhaps, but I think on this instance... this short-termist mindset has a basis. What kind of a 100 year future does Atlassian have? Jira certainly isn't a 100 year product. Software is so fast... IDK. The pox is not just a product of

True, but it is not unheard of for a software company. In fact, it's expected. Hence the valuations for software vendors compared to manufacturing, retail, etc.

Nothing is wrong with it, I'm just predicting that this isn't a sustainable state for a publicly traded company. I don't think aggressive antitrust is likely and I don't think it would change the above regardless. Market

The idea that growth is better than profits was in-built into Atlassian's proposition to shareholders, ultimately. The slow and steady mentality is fine, but we see over and over that it isn't what the market wants. A private comp

This article's finger is on the right place, but IMO the analysis is off. Netflix, has recently excited the fundamental/rationalist investor camp. The huge valuations hot tech companies enjoy must eventually be justified by a &q

All true, and impressive considering that we recently evolved from tree dwelling primates but... There are plenty of animals adapted to heat, and can perform similar feats. African wild dogs, dingos and other canines can persistent hunt in

I don't think it's that surprising, especially as an occasional result. Consider that surviving severe overpopulation is trauma. Survivors are physically and/or psychologically sick. They're not good breeders and at th

In the sweatiest of those places, our sweaty strategy is imperfect. Sweating works well in dry climates, not as well in humid ones. In high enough humidity, the sweat doesn't evaporate, doesn't cool you, and the whole system becom

It's interesting that many/most organisms are more sensitive to heat than cold. Cattle, dogs and whatnot usually enjoy room temperature, 20C-25C... like us. At 30-35, may will start to struggle. At 40-45, deaths start. Even heat a

This kind of happens to slow aging reptiles too. Massive snakes like anacondas, reticulated pythons and such are partly arboreal when small. When bigger, they can't really climb or hide in trees. Same thing for giant monitors. Komodo

Perhaps, and studies such as these should have to withstand such questioning. But..... The problem as I see it isn't expiremntal design. The problem is larger scientific "design." To learn something useful with a sufficie

There is a class of these problems that's easy enough to talk about: "Glue work vs gap filling" is relatively easy topic. Broaching "doer/talker" ratios can be stickier. Some not-my-jobs are evolved/strate

Being stable just gives it a certain risk profile: regular profits, with a chance of occasional apocalypse. Modest, of course, relative to the sum "under management." Two-and-twenty. The kind of game we've been known to lose.

The first and second point kind of cross each other. Stimulus to people who need it (to spend) is inflationary. Stimulus to those who don't need it inflates stock prices.
