Are you aware of a justification for this?
- amerine 6y agoWhy does everything need to be 24/7?

- yupper32 6y agoI'm nearly speechless reading these replies. What makes you ask this question? Is it privilege? Ignorance? We aren't talking about a silly pet project. We're talking about important government websites that need to be available to every citizen of the US, regardless of their work schedules and obligations. Artificially restricting the hours is insane.
- Zak 6y agoWhy shouldn't it be? It's a website; making it not operate 24/7 takes active effort and does not have any obvious benefit.
- claviska 5y agoMost likely updates and batch processes.
- Zak 5y agoI'm still confused. I'm assuming a web frontend to a batch process enqueues things until it's time to run that process. Why can't it enqueue things 24/7? Updates make some sense, but most situations I see things of that sort it's "X may be down for maintenance during these hours", which it usually isn't most of the time in reality.
