The ChronoPause links appear to be broken and/or the site is down. Is there any place to see cached versions of them, or have they been posted elsewhere? Perhaps re-posting them (if permission is given) to a LessWrong wiki area would be a good idea?
I have copies, of course, but I think it's a bit premature to start posting them - few sites have 99.999% uptime.
It's been down for quite a while now though. And it's not just me. I agree that waiting is a good idea. But it's been at least 7 hours for me. Sites don't often experience 7 hours of downtime either. It was certainly worth asking if handy other copies existed and were easy to get to.
Your link says that the site is up, and indeed, it works for me.
(I hope this incident has been educational.)
It has confirmed that asking for additional links was the right thing to do. It cost me nearly nothing to ask but would have allowed me to read the papers beginning a full day sooner had there been an existing alternate web archive of them. For such low cost (asking in a comment), the potential gain (getting to read the papers sooner rather than waiting almost a full day for the site to come back up) was certainly worth the ~3 seconds it took to ask the question.
And in the mean time wasted more than 3 seconds of my time and the time of all future readers who don't care about a day-long or less outage back in early 2012.
Thanks.
This effect is too small to care about. When I come across such comments in other threads, I am able to quickly bypass them and the net effect is surely less than round off error from all other noisy inefficiencies. I'd say that by harping on my low threshold for asking, you've wasted more time (including your own) than just ignoring me in the first place.
