Looks like just misconfigured web server. www.nsa.gov works fine vs. nsa.gov times out.

Edit: www goes to an Akamai CDN vs bare domain goes to a straight IP address.

Re:Surviving AWS Failures with a Node.js and MongoDB Stack on Tuesday June 26, 2012 @12:18PM (#4162685)
Sweet post. I think despite the massive AWS outage last year, a lot of setups still aren't as fault resistant as you'd want. Last year's AWS outage died cuz of a cascade failure on EBS. Have they resolved that issue or should your EC2 volumes not be on EBS on this setup?
Yeah it's listed as coming soon on both eventbrites: http://angelhacksf2.eventbrite.com/ http://angelhackbo2.eventbrite.com/

My favorite subtle detail is that the picture in the middle of the post actually shows where Help Scout was seated during the program!
Not just for recruitment, but for other startups looking to build their environment too. I think Viximo's shows through really well here.
