How can this possibly be legal? If it truly is, the EU needs to get on it immediately.

This delay in status page acknowledgement is a huge reason that my app, StatusGator, has blown up in popularity recently. We are now regularly detecting outages long before providers acknowledge them which is hugely beneficial to IT teams.

Sorry, but this does not place enough blame on those that didn't vote (about 90 million people). I will hold responsible anyone with a heartbeat who did not vote at all in 2024.

Some customers of my product, StatusGator, do this with our API. They can extract the outage data -- including the time when we detect the outage before its acknowledged. And then use that to get SLA credits.

We're seeing a lot of downstream effects of this at StatusGator. Of course any provider that relies on LetsEncrypt to issue certs (such as Heroku) is affected. One notable exception is Cloudflare: They famously no longer rely solely on

I recall seeing the Mozilla Review Checker pop up on Amazon shortly after I started using it as my daily driver. I dismissed it quickly because fake reviews is not a problem I have. Maybe I'm not the target market? I do buy a lot on Am

Absolutely insane. Until recently, I had none. Now I at least have a LinkedIn account. My mother has no social media at all.

Running a mail server in 2025 so fraught, I'd caution anyone against attempting it. Not sure why you would want that trouble with so many options available, including privacy-focused vendors. If Proton is not appealing, what about mail

One alternative VC fund that comes to mind is TinySeed: https://tinyseed.com Though perhaps the "ethics" you're referring to, they invest in bootstrapped companies who aren't necessarily on the venture track

Sounds like you got the onboarding email but not the confirmation email. It should have a subject of "Confirm your Account". Email us hi@statusgator.com if you still have issues.

If nobody minds a plug: My own product, StatusGator, which was launched here on HackerNews 10 year ago, notifies IT teams about outages before they are acknowledged by official status pages. - This OpenAI outage[1] we notified 4 minutes bef

They are called scissor stairs and it's very common here in newer buildings in NYC as well. Though I believe it's only permitted in buildings 12 stories are less? It always seemed very space efficient -- separated by concrete fire
