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 before they acknowledged.

- The last AWS outage[2], we notified 28 minutes before they acknowledged

- There is def an Azure outage[3] now yet they have still not updated their status page. We notified 35 minutes ago.

Btw, tried to sign up and got a message that it would send me an email to confirm my login. Instead what I received was an email pointing me to a video demo. Not sure if simply clicking on that link was enough to confirm my email. That’s outside of a normal workflow.

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.

Showed up later.

I install the Bullet gem in every Rails project because it not only detects these N+1 queries but tells you how to fix them, helping to ensure they never even make it to production.

As of rails 6.1 you can use active records built in strict_loading to solve this problem as well


Huh, what am I missing? This looks absolutely nothing like the link from OP.


So, sometimes software gets these things called "iterations" and "versions" where the authors of the software add features and updates. So while this link isn't the KidPix of the 90s, it certainly has the same gameplay to the point where Im personally transported back to playing this on my Dad's Mactinosh 30ish years ago.

Perhaps you can try downloading it and seeing for yourself?


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 fireproof walls and taking up the same vertical space.


Yes, this is a new building in NYC ;-)


For me this works only to stop future messages from that campaign. All the campaigns seem to buy and sell lists so I just get a different message from a different campaign at a different number. Here are the most recent offenders:

  Katrina Christiansen
  Harry Dunn
  Arizona for Abortion Access 
  Turnout PAC
  Yvette Clarke
  Josh Stein
  Ty Pinkins
  Democratic Majority
  Tammy Baldwin
  Democrats United


Yes this was my experience too. It was like a hydra. Say no to 1 campaign, get 2 more new campaigns tomorrow



I actually just wrote about this very thing. It's not just that it SEEMS less reliable, it absolutely is:

I don't think this article has any value. Are you only counting region wide outages? US east is probably 10x the size of any other region with more AZ's than any other region.

They have a table of everything listed along with a new price for it. All they would need to add is a column showing the existing price. There is a 100% chance they have a spreadsheet internally passed around with that existing price column.

Do you really believe it was a not a deliberate choice to not show the side by side comparison?
