when was the last time google was down? i know they are shitting bricks as we speak. it's interesting to realize how important something is when you don't have it.

For me, it's interesting to realize how UN-important something is when I don't have it :)

Interesting to note that the "Stuff" essay (http://paulgraham.com/stuff.html) is currently ranked at number 1.

Coincidence?

Gmail seems goes down about every two months...

I can't imagine any non-facebook employee really caring. If a company seriously depends on facebook in any real way, then they have their priorities all wrong. Now, if bloomberg goes down, then I can understand the problem...

By contrast, I'm sure it's apocalyptic at facebook itself. That happens at even the most trivial web companies.

I once read an article about embedded systems programming for critical care machinery. Error codes included such things as "patient not breathing", "cardiac failure", and things of that ilk. I don't like it when my web sites go down, either, but it does put things in perspective.

Common people. Are we gonna get a YCNews post everytime facebook is down?

Did you mean to say "c'mon, people", or are you calling us simple-minded, hoi polloi types?

Maybe he's a lisp programmer?

budu32• 19 years ago

Sorry, meant to say c'mon. :)

Well, I thought it was interesting.

The "internet" doesn't really go down. Build your business on facebook, and you might just lose 12 hours of revenue because someone else's power went out. I'd rather lose revenue because my own power went out.

Build a business on facebook, and any revenue you get isn't deserved in the least.

Businesses on Facebook have revenue? ;-)
