I totally agree with all this, and I'm completely open to a valid technical explanation here. My initial comment is/was admittedly a bit reactive, and more so to the general tone of their explanation than the likelihood of a legit

These are basically my thoughts on it: https://twitter.com/ajsharp/status/1106308735142526976 . Normally, this level of outage would come with a technical post-mortem. Instead, they issue a super vague statement.

Also, 'many people had trouble accessing our apps and services' is some ninja-level gaslighting: https://twitter.com/facebook/status/1106229690069442560

I'm mostly guessing based on what I've read over the years. They've published a hefty corpus of work regarding their deployment infrastructure and greater code review/quality approach. Here's a few examples: - htt

This is fucking bananas. For nearly a decade, Facebook has been at the forefront of innovating how code is deployed at global scale. They presumably have gradual rollouts, automated rollbacks, anomaly detection, not to mention (I assume) lo

I think I agree with you on the facts, though the optics look bad and it seems to have taken on a life of it's own on Twitter.

If either service really cared about musicians' well-being, they'd let their customers subscribe to artists directly, contributing a set amount that goes straight to artists, minus txn fees. In other words, what Patreon does, but

Yes. Elasticsearch is not nearly as easy to use and is not really designed to be a transactional database.

Using your malware botnet to click on fake ads and generate 27mln in actual ad rev is pretty damn crafty. Only part I'm unclear on is whether they were actually operating the network/marketplace, or just falsifying the publisher a

Yea maybe 6 years ago, but today this is no longer true. Speaking as someone who rents a free-standing house in LA, and has looked at what renting in New York would cost. LA is no longer cheaper, as a good portion of New Yorkers have migrat

This is wonderfully concise and spot-on. With respect to the American health care system, it's painfully accurate. An unbelievable amount of economic activity in the US health care system ultimately boils down to a whole lot of ceremon

"British-made zippers bore the brand name Lightning, which had to be carefully ground off the metal pulls with a dentist’s drill." This whole piece is unbelievably cool. Thanks for posting.

I'm confused by the idea that this is bad in some way. The point of business is to make money. For startups in particular, the entire commercial goal can roughly be broken down into one of three things: 1. Build a lasting private busin

A lot can change in a startup in two years. Startup founders are fallible human beings after all, and are as likely as anyone else to say things that, in retrospect, were hopelessly idyllic or optimistic. Everyone who founds a startup on so

This feels like a natural "rookie of the year"-esque extension of living in a post-trump, nothing matters world, and frankly I'm pretty excited about it.

Great point, completely agree. It took me several years to understand that the quality of the technology is only a single component (often a very minor one) to making a successful product (let alone a successful company).
