It’s not 1943. They know they hit.

Read your comment. Read the parent.

Yeah, we used to kill kids. Personally I think we shouldn’t have.

You're claiming that Trump is pro-immigration?

To be clear, you’re claiming that this was in fact behind them?

So the data wasn’t shared? These companies do not have USPS PII?

I think it's important to be clear that this isn't some small startup. Trello is Atlassian

I mean I'd love to hear the story as well, but clearly for different reasons.

Well I'm using the one I've had for five years. Our anecdata seems to be conflicting.

It might not be hard for them to do it, but how is the end user meant to know to ask if they do?

I used this at work today. Someone had asked what our webapp's sysreqs were. I said that network connection was very unlikely to be a problem, but it really struggled when set to GPRS. Now, I think it's unlikely that anybody would be using it on that, but it's still good to know that it's an issue.

How many years? How many internet services do you use that have run for 2 + "a few more" years?

They were acquired nearly two years ago. http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/post/89180616013/what... says that the site is explicitly for acquihires. If this was an acquihire then they royally screwed it up.

1) The current title _is_ the title of the linked to document

2) Why didn't the old one have 'rules' in it? Removing it looks like editorializing.

New comment by muteh in "HipChat is now free for unlimited users"

muteh — Tue, 27 May 2014 22:03:58 +0000

Team communication: Teams need to interact in a variety of different ways: public groups/private groups, fixed groups/ad-hoc groups, groups/1-2-1. HipChat supports a variety of different ways of interacting, and does so in a way that's easy to use. People nowadays use a variety of different devices (and classes of device). HipChat has a range of native clients, plus a web based one, and so can be used on most of the devices that people want to use it on. (We use Slack, but I've tried and liked HipChat too)

I've never really got my head round RFCs, but 4180 is only informational, not a standard. I have used exactly your argument before though, and will again. Have also been on the other side and needed to convert horribly inconsistent data to fit it.

I know you're just being glib, but here are some answers: * build doesn't mean compile * you can compile your build process and then use that to actually run your build * the benefits of typed languages go beyond catching errors at compile time
