    Is this on topic for lobsters? Seems too general tech-news-y.

      I will venture to say that one link is reasonable. I don’t need a repost of every blog about the most disappointing iPhone ever, but an anchor where people can talk about it seems useful. The HN discussion is wholly useless.

      For my part, to say something, I plan to upgrade. Looking forward to a lighter phone.

        I can’t believe my own pair would call me out.

        In all seriousness I think you might have a point. The main reason I posted this was I saw the new Amazon Kindle announcements hit the top on Lobsters.

          Isn’t that what voting takes care of? If people are interested, they will upvote it and it will rise to the top.

          End users don’t care if downtime is maintenance or error. I think is more honest to show all downtime, not disable checks when you know there will be.

          If you have regular downtime, pingdom keeps you honest and might push you towards finding a way to do it without downtime.

            It’s not about end-users in my case, it’s about tracking SLA towards our hosting provider. And I agree with you that all downtime should be displayed to end-users, maintenance windows or anything.
