What do you mean by 'useful' here? Facebook goes down for half a day and everybody laughs. Take 'banks' down for the same amount of time and see what happens.

- jimmydorry 5y agoMulti-hour outages are already relatively common and getting more frequent by the year for banks. About 10 days ago there was a massive Bank of America outage.
- stickfigure 5y agoIt's pretty standard for banks to "go down" outside the hours of 9am-5pm. Nearly everything meaningful that a bank does is processed in batch, often with days-long delays. Operationally, Facebook is a vastly harder problem.
- coliveira 5y agoYou certainly don't use banks often, because their systems being offline for several hours is a relative common event.
