Do we really need to be notified every time GitHub or Twitter go down temporarily? It's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

There is a reason there are controls to allow you to upvote, or downvote stories. If you don't like a story, and have nothing to contribute to the story, downvote it. If the story is in the top few, it's because people (that aren't you) are interested in knowing that github is getting attacked. EVERYTHING is inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. Edit: Heh, there are no downvotes on HN for stories. My bad.

I really need to start monitoring GitHub vrs Bitbucket for uptime. I can't think of the last time Bitbucket was down.

It was down a few weeks ago, right in the middle of the last big deploy I did. Just had to laugh honestly.

OT: How much karma do I need to have to see the downvote button?
