There are myriad ways to misconfigure a cloud instance of Jira. You thought I was referring to the configuration of the actual web app I suppose. That's kind of a silly assumption but gives me a lot of insight into what you've said here...

A quote from a funny TV show still doesn't really make it a thing, does it?

I don't know that this is the way to fix what you believe to be an open issue. It probably is: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Questions/Hide-Close...

If it's not, there probably is a way to do what you are trying to do that you just don't know about.

I work at a very large organization. The user lookups in Jira are lightning fast & the permissions are granular for a reason.

Can't help you with your billing problems but it kind of sounds like a "you" problem.

I have fully configured a Service Desk instance, yes.

It sounds like maybe you aren't actually using the release feature & or that maybe you don't know how to write JQL queries or maybe I don't know anything about the amazingly advanced way you are trying to use the features. "Hey doc, my arm hurts when I do this?" The doctor says "Then don't do it."

I could keep going too but it would be a waste of my time to try & have a reasonable discussion on something which you have prononuced your verdict: "Atlassian is a bunch of decent products drowning in scope creep, terrible cross-product integration, and a painfully slow development cycle that is focused way more on cosmetic features that fixes their trainwreck of a dumpster fire."

All generalizations are false...
I would prefer to use pouchdb as an in memory database. Then, if I outgrow that, use the pouchdb server. Then scale up to couchdb if I need that. It's much better architected and your front end code never has to change.
I guess it also had to do with cost effectiveness. Digital marketing might have been small but cheaper than paper/cable medias. Right now given the size of Google and Facebook (and the fact that their whole revenue is basically ads), it seems the advertising spend on them has become excessive and not cost effective.
I am sure it is true that some people think TikTok is evil, and some people are hesitant to assume the worst about LinkedIn.

On a close reading, I don't think you have actually asserted that any person is biased or inconsistent...despite your tone that the climate is biased.

>It's a system component that was never removable to begin with. And now they updated it.

that's only true in recent Windows history, and it's obviously just another way to follow suit and go for the 'walled-garden' approach that the other platforms seem to be reaping the benefits of.

"You can't remove the browser, it's a part of the system architecture." should be followed up with : "Is that a legacy feature, and if not -- what can be done to remediate it?"

If someone told me that file locking was a concept you're stuck with in Windows -- yeah, sure. I agree. That's something that requires nearly a bottom-up re-write; these browser dependencies are new in the case of M$.
No one cares about the literal definition of words anymore, it’s all about feelings and implied context now. The word “racism” is a perfect example. You’ll rarely see anyone using it literally as in “prejudice based on race” which is a shame. We’ve lost a lot of the ability to reason about _why_ these things are bad, now it’s just “I feel like it’s bad, I’m scared of someone doing something bad to me.”

Not possible for me. The behaviour of others around me on the train stresses me out immensely, especially sneezing and coughing (and that was pre-COVID), listening to music or phone calls on speakerphone on crowded trains, stupid conversations, etc.

We weren't mad at Microsoft for bundling software. We were mad at them for strangling out anyone whose shadow even looked like competition.

People with 10% market share are allowed to do a whole hell of a lot of things that become illegal when you have 90% market share. I suspect this is part of why monopolies are so uniformly recalcitrant. From their perspective, we didn't have problems with them doing this 10 years ago, why are we upset about it now when they have assets worth taking away as a punishment? It's just a money grab. They're just winning and we're just jealous.

This isn't a 'new low'. Microsoft has always taken advantage of its monopoly position to take control.

This is no different from the Netscape/Internet Explorer shenanigans of the 1990s. Trouble is, the new generation of computer users don't know MSFT's previous history so they are "shocked!".

For the rest of us, it's just Microsoft being a dick as usual.
It's easy to blame people for their own choice in doing drugs. Or get numb to it as isn't a new issue. But a pandemic causing an excess of deaths and huge uncertainly that could infect every person just for living a normal life is fundamentally different.

My prediction is that America seems unable/unwilling to do what's required to stem covid (lack of federal leadership is just horrific here), and as such, America will chose money over lives. It always has. And at that point, sucks to be you if you got covid and die from it -- it'll just be like any other death in America.... largely ignored as a collective.
The origins of a symbol are mostly pointless, it's the intent of its use. It's a hard argument to say that everyone form Japan is a racist because their flag is based on a banned symbol.

Maybe that wouldn't have happened if the government hadn't forced businesses to close? As in, if you make it illegal to go to work, people will be without a job.

Morale of the story: the government could in 3 weeks destroy the economy to a level that in the 2008 crisis took 2 years for the private market to achieve.

Scary, and I'm not sure it speaks for more government.

Would love to know about the books that got you inspired and curious about other fields :)
> Yet the USA death toll is over 130,000 people - that is a terrible thing =(. I do not get how the USA can be so blase about it.

Because on a per capita basis the US actually has fewer deaths per million than multiple European countries? Ask yourself how e.g. Belgians can be so blasé about this, they’re doing worse than us in this regard!

Or maybe it’s because deaths have dropped dramatically from their peak and continue to do so?

Or maybe it’s because tens of thousands of people die every year of the flu in each and every western country and to the US, 130K Covid deaths is like 3 or 4 years worth of flu deaths, which no one really cares about?

This is not the Black Death. People don’t care about it because it’s still exceedingly rare to die of it, that’s basically all there is to it.

How does an AI kill itself? It doesn't. But humans do.
The 747 is an old design, and I've seen reported the following issues:

1) Center fuel tank has exploded in the US (air) Middle East (ground) at least three times

2) High-voltage wiring was routed through the center fuel tank, very likely related to #1 (arcing)

3) Cargo door latching problems, causing structural failure

I think the center fuel tank wiring and inerting issues are why US airlines stopped carrying passengers with that model. Cargo planes are exempt from inerting requirements:

At the start of this year we talked to 50+ developers. Many of them wanted to use Postgres, but chose Firebase because it was easier.

We created Supabase specifically to solve this pain point. It’s just Postgres, with a nice UX and features. You get direct access to your PG box so you can modify it in any way you want. We’re also open source, so there is no lock-in.

I hope try out PG (regardless of the hosting solution you choose). It’s an amazing tool

> It's a multiple party proportional representation system so who "wins" doesn't really matter that much.

Obviously by "wins" I meant "becomes the (biggest party in a coalition) government", not "gains the most first preference votes" or some other strawman interpretation. And yes, I admit that it is hard to calculate the minimum number of extra votes that would need to be added to change which party leads the government, but I do think that a good proportional voting system should allow that number to be determined at least to a reasonable approximation.

> I'm not an electoral law expert, but complaints about election process go to National Electoral Committee, which can have its decision contested in Supreme Court.

I wonder how long that process would take in practice, and whether the Supreme Court would decide it had the power to invalidate an election. In particular, what sort of evidence would be required to satisfy the court that it had to demand that remedy? I imagine that "The opinion polls were wrong by 6%" might not be enough, and the political biases of the judges themselves might well be significant in such a situation.

> The e-voting over here is actual e-voting - the vote is purely digital and done remotely. Not in any way related to the digital vote counting machines used in the US.

Yes, the fact that the voting can be done remotely is another problem, since someone can be bribed or coerced into voting a certain way. I believe the mitigation for this is that the voter can supersede their online vote with an in-person vote, but an attacker could quite cheaply work around this by having tracking software on the victim's phone, and henchmen outside the polling stations.
I've been steadily writing my book about ADHD: https://adhdpro.xyz/

Ask HN: After Slate Star Codex, where are the nuanced discussions?
Hi Hacker News,

We see a lot of nuance in Hacker News discussions, thanks to how the community has shaped up and to the tireless efforts of our moderators. And I want that level of discussion elsewhere, too. (Hacker News isn't the right place for every discussion, given its focus on tech.)

In particular, the recent takedown of Slate Star Codex has me thinking about nuance and truth, and how little space there is for it in online discussions today.

Without getting into any specific politics here, which platforms do you go to for nuanced, rational discussions? And, more broadly, how can we (as technologists) foster that sort of collegiate culture online, given the global scope of the Internet, the permanence of anything we post, and the inherent anonymity of the Internet stack.

I have a strong desire right now to 1) be a part of and reinforce existing communities with this ethos and 2) advocate for technology and culture that could make this the norm.

>> Many natural languages, like German and Finnish, are so syntactically and
morphologically complex that there is no compact ruleset that can describe
them.

Is that realy true? If natural languages have rules, then there exists a
ruleset that can describe any natural language- the set of all rules in that
language. Of course, a "rule" is a compact representation of a set of strings,
so if natural languages don't have such rules it's difficult to see how any
automated system can represent a natural language "compactly". A system
without any kind of "rules" would have to store every grammatical string in a
language. That must be impossible in theory and in practice.

If I may offer a personal perspective, I think that the goal of the plan is to
produce better automated translations than is currently possible with machine
translation between language pairs for which there are very few parallel
texts. My personal perspective is that I'm Greek and I am sad to report that
basicaly translation from any language to Greek by e.g. Google Translate
(which I use occasionally) is laughably, cringe-inducingly bad. From what I
understand the reason for that is not only the morphology of the Greek
language which is kind of a linguistic isolate (as opposed to, say, Romance
languages), but also that, because there are not many parallel texts between
most languages (on Google Translate) and Greek, the translation goes through
English- which results in completely distorted syntax and meaning. Any project
that can improve on this sorry state of affairs (and not just for Greek- there
are languages with many fewer speakers and no paralle texts at all, not even
with English) is worth every second of its time.

To put it plainly, if you don't have enough data to train a machine learning
model, what, exactly, are your options? There is only one option: to do the
work by hand. Wikipedia, with its army of volunteers, has a much better shot
at getting results this way than any previous effort.
