How much time have you spent on Tumblr?

There is so much melodramatic teenage 'dark thought' reinforcement there that I have no trouble at all thinking of the alleys it could lead a young adult down that they wouldn't otherwise be exposed to.

Now, illustrated!.

I wonder if it's just that the Internet gives children and teens access to the entirety of the adult world, and that pre-internet adults and tradition can't provide them guidance to managing and understanding what they're exposed to.

Something that also incorporates a wiki might be nice.

Jira and Confluence integrate well, and have the support of a company and large installed base behind them for future development.

There will be resistance if it's not really easy to use.

Joel Spolsky also made a point about formal issue tracker adoption, in that it doesn't have to be all or nothing (Strategy 2) from the get-go.

Build a good life in Russia, and keep speaking out.

Until we start providing asylum to Russian dissidents, who build a good life in the US ... at which point, we participate in a brand-new dissident exchange program and everything's back to normal. Just in time for whatever the show is after the Simpsons.

On a more reality-based note...

How in the hell are the survivors (who would be practically random) going to know...

1) that such a thing exists
2) where (exactly) it is

They can just click on the link in the summary! I know RTFA is anathema here, but this is taking it a bit far.

They're the sort of union that if they don't get what they want they sometimes break equipment, throw bricks through windows with murder threats on them, and other fucking insane bullshit.

Were this a union group without that reputation then I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. But this is the teamsters. They've a reputation of being rough with people that don't give them what they want. And the reality is that no one has patience for that shit anymore.

Or the anonymity, for that matter -- approaching a Google Street View car from any direction, probably results in enough images being captured of you from enough angles to turn your vandalism attempt into a scene from the Matrix. If they haven't matured out of that old-school kind of approach even today, a little technology may not be sufficient to get them to change their ways fast enough.
