I don’t know the actual numbers involved, but people are already jumping to the conclusion that it means 70% of customers are impacted.
“Affected” is doing a lot heavy lifting in this headline. The linked page states that a small number of customers are affects. So it’s 70% of a small number. Where “small number” is defined by Atlassian so we don’t really know the impact here. As best as I can tell my own usage has not been impacted at all.
- throwmeariver1 5y agoEvery HN discussion about this was rather tame and everyone respected the scope of the outtage. The only one jumping to conclusions at the moment is you.
- glenngillen 5y agoI replied precisely because the first comment I saw on this thread was “That's one way to say 70% are still unable to access their data, going on a week now.” I also don’t presume everyone to have read every thread on here every day.
- throwmeariver1 5y agoThe thread and the post are about a partial outtake and 70% of the affected users are not able to access their data. The comment was a snarky jab at the marketing speech. How you would read into it that the commenter meant that 70% of all Atlassian users are affected is not comprehensible.
- rjmunro 5y agoOur Confluence is working fine and as far as I know has been working fine all week - no one has mentioned it in slack or anything, which I would expect. I think Atlassian are probably not helping themselves by calling the number of customers "small" rather than saying the actual number or specifying a percentage of total customers.
