JMUNP ---------------------------- On Software Quality and Building a Better Evernote in 2014 oday's 8 minutes indexing downtime Deapology Today's 8 minutes indexing downtime Sincerely, Nicolasar Ashley, You may have noticed, we experienced a downtime of our indexing API today. For about 8 minutes starting at 9:30pm UTC (Jan 29), some write operations were refused by the API with a 503 error code. Search was not impacted, every queries were served as usual. While it's the first time that an outage happens since we launched the service last September, we are deeply sorry for the inconvenience. We published a full explanation of the problem and its resolution on our blog: http://blog.algolia.com/postmortem-todays-8min-indexing-downtime/ Should you want any details, feel free to contact us anytime. Sincerely, Nicolas f.lux has been updated to a new version! It's been a few years since f.lux for Windows got an update, but this new version is finally out of beta. We have a ton of new features and bugfixes to tell you about, and we hope you enjoy trying them out in the new version. Big new cool stuff - f.lux can go warmer than 3400K now, down to 2700K. Or even 1200K if you really want it to. - Support for color profiles from a hardware calibrator - Movie mode. This setting warms up your display, but it preserves shadow detail, skintones, and sky colors better than f.lux's typical colors. It lasts 2½ hours, which lets you watch most feature films - Disable until morning, for late-night crunch mode - A new "darkroom" mode, which inverts colors and gets very red - A map to help you find your location - Hotkeys to dim your display (Alt-PgDn, Alt-PgUp) late at night, so desktop users can dim too - A hotkey to disable/enable f.lux quickly: Alt-End - If you have a laptop, f.lux gets warmer when your backlight dims, like an incandescent lamp - A simple schedule for Philips Hue, so you can f.lux your house Some more fixes - Safe mode for playing video games without hiccups - Bugs fixed with Intel chipsets - Smoother animations and fading - Better support for Windows 7 & 8 - Thanks for using f.lux, and if you need help with the new features, please join us on our support page here: http://justgetflux.com/faq.html. —Michael and Lorna Salesforce Renewal for Front App- First Notice Dear Ashley, At Salesforce, customer success is our #1 priority, and we are committed to helping you develop more meaningful relationships with your customers with Salesforce products and services.

Today, we're announcing some changes to Etsy's terms and policies to do just that. We've shared the highlights below. You can review the full policies here. Introducing Our House Rules First, we've built a brand new section on Etsy that will make it easier for you to find the information from our legal terms and policies that's relevant for you. We're calling it Our House Rules because it covers all of your rights and responsibilities when you use our services and participate in the Etsy community. Clearer language – in more languages We've renamed, reorganized and even rewritten most of our policies to make them clearer and easier to understand. For example, we've renamed our Seller Guidelines to be called our Seller Policy, which we've expanded to give you more detailed guidance (but please note: even though the policy looks different, we didn't make any material changes to it). We've also translated our policies, including our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, into French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian. Legal changes The terms and policies in Our House Rules make up a legally-binding agreement between you and Etsy that spells out each party's rights and obligations when it comes to your use of our services. Here are the main changes to our previous agreement: • Your contract with Etsy: Users living in North or South America will continue to contract with Etsy, Inc., but Etsy users living elsewhere are now contracting with Etsy Ireland, a subsidiary of Etsy, Inc. You won't notice any difference in our services. We made this change to reflect the international nature of our business. • Charges: We've consolidated all of our terms related to seller fees and bills into a single Fees & Payments Policy. That policy also includes a link to our Direct Checkout Policy, which clarifies Etsy's role in processing payments. • Member information: We take our responsibility to protect member information very seriously. Our new Requests for Information Policy details how we respond to any requests for member information. • User content: We've clarified how we handle content that users post to Etsy's site or apps. We now refer to it as "your content" in our Terms of Use, to make it crystal clear that we treat anything you post (photos, descriptions, names, etc.) as your property. Posting your content grants Etsy a (non-exclusive) license to use your content, and we've listed the ways that we can do that. • Dispute resolution: We hope it never comes to this, but if you find yourself in a dispute with Etsy, the updated dispute resolution section in the Terms of Use explains how and where you can bring a claim against us. • Contact preferences: We've updated our Privacy Policy to clarify that we may occasionally add new channels to share news or information with our users, but that we'll always make sure you can easily choose exactly what types of messages you want to receive (or don't want to receive). You don't need to take any further action to accept the updated Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or other policies. The changes will go into effect for you on August 29, 2015. By continuing to use our services after that time, you agree to the updated terms. Thanks for being a part of the Etsy community. Feel free to contact legal@etsy.com if you have any questions. And remember, our house is your house! Read Our House Rules (button) HipChat moving to standard Atlassian legal terms Hey, we're changing our Terms of Service. It has been two years since HipChat joined the Atlassian family, and we're bigger and better because of it. Of course, when a product grows this quickly, there are always lots of big changes going on. We need to rewrite certain bits of code to make them faster, change the way our servers run to make them more reliable, improve the way our team is organized so we can keep it productive, and implement new ways to support our users. Today, we're announcing a change that many of you have asked us for: bringing HipChat under the same terms as other Atlassian products (currently the Atlassian Customer Agreement and the Atlassian Privacy Policy – together referred to as the "Atlassian terms"). No, seriously, we get asked about this a lot. Unfortunately, we didn't think through the original HipChat terms as much as we should have, and they have caused considerable pain for many users over the years. (Note to other startups: get someone to look over your terms because they're tough to change!) Anyway, we know this stuff can be boring, but it's important, so we hope you'll take the time to read them. Here's an overview of the major differences between the HipChat terms and privacy policy and the Atlassian terms that will replace them: - The Atlassian terms are better for your company. The Atlassian terms have the structure and provisions that many businesses expect, which larger companies may appreciate. These include more specific termination provisions (rather than the right to terminate in our sole discretion), as well more favorable liability limitations for paying customers. Atlassian's liability for paid accounts is now capped at amounts we've received from you in the last 12 months, rather than $100. In addition, the Atlassian terms include liability caps and disclaimers for customers, rather than being only in Atlassian's favor. - To accommodate our increased liability to paying customers, our liability for free products is being reduced to $20. - The Atlassian terms require binding arbitration for disputes. As HipChat grows, we need to have a cost-effective alternative to going to court. Our terms now mandate that we resolve disputes via arbitration. We expect binding arbitration to help contain legal costs and offer a faster path to resolution for both parties. - The Atlassian terms include a more comprehensive privacy policy. The Atlassian Privacy Policy covers the information we collect and how we use that information in much more detail. For example, it includes an explicit discussion of how we collect analytics information to improve our products and services. This analytics information could include elements of user content related to the function being performed. - The Atlassian terms allow companies to access 1-to-1 chat history (for future chats, not retroactively). The Atlassian Privacy Policy also removes a HipChat restriction that has caused a lot of confusion for business customers. Under HipChat's support documentation (which is referenced in the HipChat privacy policy), HipChat administrators cannot view other users' 1-to-1 chat history or the files that were shared. In many cases, this is inconsistent with an employer's policy about employee communications occurring in the workplace, which employers typically have the right to access. Under the Atlassian Privacy Policy, HipChat administrators will have the right to access all information in the HipChat accounts they manage, including 1-to-1 chat history and files shared in those 1-to-1 chats. The HipChat Specific Terms require customers (e.g. the account holder) to secure all required consents from users to allow for this level of access. Note that this change does not apply retroactively; 1-to-1 chats occurring before the Atlassian terms become effective are still covered by the prior HipChat policies. - The Atlassian terms will be effective starting May 27, 2014 for free accounts and new purchases. For existing paid subscriptions, the new agreement will take effect on your first renewal after this date. If your subscription is set to auto-renew and you are not willing to accept the Atlassian terms, please make sure to cancel prior to your next renewal. Adopting the Atlassian terms will bring HipChat in line with the other Atlassian products you might be using and will help us stay focused on building a great product for you. If you have any questions you can direct them to customer-agreement@hipchat.com. Cheers, The HipChat Founders
