US Government Uptime Monitor (usa-status.com)

two nines

(Tech) Debt seems to be a frequent cause of (Tech) outages.

Love it. However if this were realistic, it would say Partial outage so as to not trigger the SLAs

Where's the up time monitor for this site? It seems to be down.

"Have you tried turning it off and on?"

Yeah but like this isn't funny anymore guys

I applaud this. "Your tax dollars at rest"

This uptime monitor must be streaming illegal football (soccer) because it's blocked in Spain.

And the funny thing is free football is working as always. I know because a friend is watching a game right now while he comments on HN.

This says "USDA operational"

Needs to go back further - there were shutdowns 30 years ago

A far as I'm concerned, they're just intentionally failing to do their job. And they *all* in congress should be fired for job abandonment. And yes, rerun elections, with those idiots not allowed to run.

After all, when I look at my W2 (yeah, I'm a working stiff), they sure as hell are taking out taxes still. That aint "shut down". It's a scam.

Something about "taxation without representation". I think we went to war over that before.

Love it! One nit: the % number jiggles around. This can be fixed either by left aligning the number, or by using a monospaced font.

Wish there was a simple way to get updates on large swings in the government shut down poly market.

I’d really like to know when things are shifting without having to watch the stupid news every day.

- if governement is down does that mean citzans do not have to pay any taxes

- All US workers need to go on strike until you get a government that works for the whole population ;)

It's too bad the page only goes back 15 years.

It would be a bit cooler if it went all the way back to the first government shutdown under Carter.

Energy > National Nuclear Security Administration (civilian)

Should we be concerned about that being shut down?

The percentages should be counting upwards for the departments that are currently operational, instead they are currently static :)

Apparently this same idea was done 12 years ago, it's still there but I guess is no longer being updated, it still shows the gov't being up:
