Wow, down for me too (DNS doesn't resolve, using google dns). Wonder how many $$millions they're losing every minute.

- leesalminen 6y agoRevenue of 280.5 billion USD in 2019 works out to roughly $500k/minute.
- michaelmior 6y agoThe calculation is accurate in one sense, but I don't think it represents actual revenue loss for two reasons. Firstly, spending is non-uniform and peaks a lot on Black Friday, near Christmas, etc. Second, assuming the site is down for only a few minutes (it's back now), a significant fraction of people will probably just try again later. I still imagine this is a significant loss.
- Reedx 6y agoImpossible to say really, since most will just come back later. Especially given that it'll likely be brief. In any case, must be like a 5 alarm fire at Amazon right now!
- flatiron 6y agoguess who just spent 10 minutes debugging pi-hole, this guy
- hackeraccount 6y agoThank you!
- aficiomaquinas 6y agoSpecifically the revenue that won't come back once the website is back online.
