if you have a year of 99.97 months, don't you have a 99.97 year? how does having a shorter time make the numbers look better?
[edit: i realise they could be hiding worse months, but i don't think that's what the post i am replying to meant. perhaps i am reading it wrong.]
- hboon 14y agoThey could have terrible uptime 2 months ago and you wouldn't see it in their status page, because it only showed last month's.
- mparlane 14y agoDepends on the month... 31 versus 28 days.

- jaggederest 14y agoParent post was saying that, without taking into account the entire year, you can have one month that is terrible and the rest quite good. The measurement in question is supposed to be about consistency.
