- cududa 5y agoI remember my first time having a meeting at Facebook and observing none of the doors had keyholes and thinking "hope their badge system never goes down"
- Bluecobra 5y agoIn case of emergency, break glass... ...the doors are glass right?
- cududa 5y agoZucks personal conference room has 3 glass walls, so I’ve been amusing myself imagining him just throwing a chair through one of the walls

- thrwyoilarticle 5y agoDo they (you?) call him that at FB?
- xapata 5y agoYes, "Zuck".

- samstave 5y agoThat glass is bullet resistant.
- tetha 5y agoAll doors are glass with the right combination of a halligan bar, an axe and a gasoline powered saw. And I guess beyond that point, walls are glass. Or you need explosives.
- dwd 5y agoI'm assuming someone in building security has watched the end of Ex Machina...and applied some learnings, or not.
- Bombthecat 5y agoAaaaaaand it's down!
- tablespoon 5y ago> I remember my first time having a meeting at Facebook and observing none of the doors had keyholes and thinking "hope their badge system never goes down" Every internet-connected physical system needs to have a sensible offline fallback mode. They should have had physical keys, or at least some kind of offline RFID validation (e.g. continue to validate the last N badges that had previously successfully validated).
- skeeter2020 5y agomaybe they're open by default, like old 7-11 stores when they went 24hrs and had no locks on the doors :)
- londons_explore 5y agoBreaking the glass to get in to fix the service is totally a good business move. A few hundred bucks of glass Vs a billion wiped off the share price if the service is down for a day and all the user's go find alternatives.

- korethr 5y agoLink to such claims here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28750894 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28750894 I have no doubt that the publicly published post-mortem report (if there even is one) will be heavily redacted in comparison to the internal-only version. But I very much want to see said hypothetical report anyway. This kind of infrastructural stuff fascinates me. And I would hope there would be some lessons in said report that even small time operators such as myself would do well to heed.
- RichardCA 5y agoI think the real take away is that no one has this figured out. A small company has to keep all of its customers happy (or at least be responsive when issues arise, at a bare minimum). Massive companies deal in error budgets, where a fraction of a percent can still represent millions of users.
- throwdecro 5y agoI guess they didn't have an "emergency ingress" plan.
- ToddWBurgess 5y agoThe they will have to old school it and try a brick.
- metadaemon 5y agoI've heard on Blind this is unrelated, more of a Covid restriction issue.
- wolverine876 5y agoWhat is Blind? Or shouldn't I ask?

- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoMore like a crossover between Glassdoor... and Gab.
