On: Tell HN: GitHub is down again

[naikrovek]

anything can go down, and has. the only thing I know of that hasn't is the internet as a whole. some parts go offline, but the internet itself, as a cohesive system, has never failed.

I bet it will one day, what with legislative "kill switches" being a thing.

Is it really that difficult to have a system run redundantly? (Not trying to be sarcastic here)
