I called [redacted] HR a few minutes after this was posted.

They just called me back and said they were able to get to him in time and he is getting help.

Are there any other CMS systems designed to deploy static sites?

Ask HN: Shared Database/Distributed Commit Log as a Service?

Is there a need for a Shared Database/Distributed Commit Log as a Service? How would you implement it? What technologies would you use (e.g. CouchDB, Kafka, OAuth) ?
