About us
During outages, we used to get bombarded with teammates asking "Is the site down?" Today, the first thing the Incident Commander does is update our StatusPage. No more questions. Our in office internet connections have outages, too. After seeing our StatusPage, our IT Manager asked if he could have an account. Today, instead of the whole company running to his desk, he sends updates company wide with a few clicks. He literally bought me lunch.
1914 translation by H. Rackham
On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish.
