Stock markets and commercial Telecomms beg to differ
- inigyou 4mo agoIs every business a stock market and commercial Telecomm?
- rusk 4mo ago> Making money and being highly available are different goals. These are large, highly profitable vertical markets. The above remark is demonstrably foolish and ignorant.
- shermantanktop 4mo agoCan you make money without being highly available? Can you be highly available without making money? And btw I've worked in both the industries you cite. It's hard to think of telecomms having amazing uptime when you have to write a restart script for a core security daemon because the sysadmin doesn't know how.

- IAmBroom 4mo agoOK, fine: Making money and being highly available often different goals.
- rusk 4mo agoNot if being highly available is central to your business model which is about half the industry
- saltcured 4mo agoAsymptotically, every billing system is a stock market and telecom. ;-) My biggest career horror was realizing how much the medical informatics concepts have been structured around billing and insurance rather than scientific, biomedical requirements.
