"fact"?


As a company you need to follow the law. As a company, to attract new customer you sell something useful. Those two aren't mutually exclusive. For example, you can sell a service to a customer even if you respect their privacy.


Is that thing dependent on speed? 1-3 car may be okay for slow city traffic but obviously not for higher speeds. I'm just curious how it works.


> Interesting factoid: in France, most of the stop signs say "stop", since it's a perfectly valid word in French.

Here's another interesting fact which I suspect is more of a fact than "your" fact: Almost all countries in Europe has stop signs with the word "Stop" because it was agreed upon in 1968.

Thank you. I did not know that before.

I've corrected my OP.


That is an admirably charitable response to a comment that I could not truthfully characterize the same way. Good job by you.


I mean, you weren't wrong. Stop/stopper is valid French...


How you wrote this response is a bit dickish tbh.


[flagged]


Man, it's no way to live life being this mean.

Remember the human.


Well 'stopper' is now a valid French word. No idea if it became a thing because of this or always was a thing. https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/stopper/74789


I use both Jira and Confluence (cloud version) on a 6 year old Dell laptop and have no performance issues.

Maybe I'm closer to their servers. Or you're using Safari.


Nope, I’m using Chrome / Firefox and it’s a common enough problem that Atlassian sluggishness has been a running joke on multiple teams I’ve been on.

Maybe I should measure it and post somewhere, I thought it was a well-known problem but maybe there’s something different about our setups.


I have seen on premise issues , infrastructure can be the problem, or config. Jira cloud can also be a problem,but nothing one can do about it other than sending a ticket. I think they know what they are doing wrong with certain "low value" subscriptions.


Is Safari slow when using Jira?


Maybe the rifle/gun is just a bad example today? I watch movies all the time where there are guns or rifles which does not gow off. And I sure don't feel like some promise was broken.


Chekhov used this example of a rifle on the wall in 1889, years before the invention of the movie camera.

It shouldn't be taken as advice on movie production design.


I think it’s something which is more obvious in a literary context where not talking about the gun means there is no obvious reference to it, but in a movie it may still exist, they just do not draw attention to it.


> tbh I question the value of this in the age of docker

Haha. In the world outside of HN, big companies enforce specific database servers for reasons such as centralized monitoring, security, compliance and competence. Setting all this aside because of "docker" is classic HN.


This will not be an issue for the drug dealer. The part of the government who deals with this is separate from police and prosecutor and is the same organization which helps the electricity company getting their money if the home owner doesn't pay.

Corruption is relatively low in Sweden and in this branch I consider it essentially non-existant.


Which format would you propose if I am writing a .NET tool to produce a file to be consumed by Excel?


I would expect .NET to have excellent .xlsx capabilities? Most libraries have an easy way to write those from tabular data.


Why would you expect that?


> I'm so surprised that static sites like this

The person you replied to linked the github account and if you ckecked it you would see that it was not a static site.

I am not surprised that you decided to write a comment instead though.


This is also obvious from looking at a cached version of the site: there are there is a list of online users and posts in the sidebar.
