| GCP was today actually.
| notamy wrote:
| There was a GCP outage a few days ago, which is what Outage
| Bingo has linked. It sadly doesn't currently support multi-
| links per-card.

| Robinhood was one that we (me + friends) were a bit on the
| fence about, since it does -- as you say -- get really close to
| the edge, but it seemed close-enough.
| LamdbaMamba wrote:
| Robinhood probably still earns more than half of its
| transaction based revenue from crypto, with the rest being
| options and stocks. I think it actually does qualify as a major
| cryptocurrency service.

| That 50% of Robinhoods revenue comes from crypto does not
| make Robinhood a major service in the cryptocurrency space.
| Could be that they have way higher margins on cryptocurrency,
| that cryptocurrency fans spend more or anything else. But
| compared to other exchanges or trading platforms in
| cryptocurrency, Robinhood is basically non-existing.

| I love this!
|
| WEhat would be really awesome would be:
|
| ANTI-PATTERN-OUTAGE-BINGO-DDOS-VOTE :
|
| _" Who should the botnet go after?"_
|
| And have users bot-vote the target of whatever version of LOIC
| they can muster...
|
| (And a BLUE version - which is users dedicated to protecting such
| site)

| If you build it, don't forget to make a ShowHN post!

| That'd be a cool longer-term goal :D Right now it's all manual

| I read this as Outrage Bingo. Now I want that. If you build it,

| API. Twitter, the Outrage Propagation As A Service platform. Mark
| the square if its term appears in a headline on the HN front
| page.
|
| The number of bingos will be inversely correlated with the
| quality of the HN feed. It could be used for QA.

| Regardless, fun project, I like the idea a lot. I'll also add my
