Tangent: I think that paid paternity/maternity leave is prejudicial against those who have chosen not to have kids. I get the sleepless nights in the first few months, and wouldn't want to deny parents time to bond with their newb

They ditched the version summary report in version 7. That's really core to efficient navigation of sprints if not using Jira Agile. The product manager who I complained to clearly isn't thinking about the needs of non Jira Agile

Most luggage isn't really secure in the first place. It takes less time to open up a suitcase with a good knife than it does to unzip many suitcases. The idea that a little padlock will protect your suitcase from thieves is laughable.

This is a terrible incident, and poor initial handling, but it sounds like a reasonable policy change on the part of the company. I'm actually suprised though that host safety/security hasn't been a bigger issue. Last weekend
