The charme of the github issue tracker is its simplicity. Polluting every issue thread with some kind of interactive quiz very much ruins that. If you want formalized bug-reports then you should rather upgrade to a more sophisticated issue

Comparing Angry Birds to LEGO seems a bit far fetched. Many people have been growing up with LEGO for over 50 years and have emotional ties to it. Angry Birds was a successful money-grab but it's hardly even in the same league as truly

Statuspage.io itself is hosted on Route53 exclusively. Guess what will happen when Route53 has a problem... How about fixing your own shit before pointing fingers at others?

This looks like it could be a fun party gag, if it was about the size of an iPhone or smaller and very cheap. But at this size and price point? I don't see the appeal over one of the mobile dye-sub printers, some of which are smaller

This kind of monitoring may be normal in BigCorps but it's definitely not part of startup culture. I'm also irritated by the mindset that considers this kind of institutionalized snooping a good thing ("INABILITY to retrieve

Loosing acked writes in a master-slave replication with failover would be expected with a sufficiently large replication lag even for PG. Bullshit.

PG also had some failures MongoDB loses acknowledged writes in its supposed "highest consistency" mode. PostgreSQL does not. That's a pretty fundamental difference, don't you think?

Pardon my cynicism but according to the letter Discover spends $13MM a year at Amazon. Thus 500k more or less works out to ~4% of their budget. My hunch is this will at most be a subject of chuckle between Bezos and David Nelms (Discover CE
