- kamjam 14y agoMaybe they need to tackle the underlying drug problem, rather than twitter fix it's downtime problem? The world revolved before twitter, and it will continue to revolve long afterwards.
- thenomad 14y agoI don't know the internal workings of Twitter, but if it isn't significantly easier to improve its downtime than to fix Mexico's drug violence, I'd argue they've made some non-trivial engineering mistakes somewhere.
