Your first argument is borderline unintelligent and selective and emotional and definitely off, your second argument is genius, though, I was wondering when anyone here would bring that up, so many of the status sites are a selective one way street to escaped sla obligations
Maybe it would be better to measure uptime not as what percentage of time the site is up, but instead as how likely a randomly selected visitor is to be able to access the site.
That would adjust for the fact that the window of peak demand, e.g. the US workday, which is when Github tends to go down, is also when people need the service the most.
