To be honest this is a much better response than the previous on in the other thread.

Also, can you explain what "Glacier is built for durability of 99.999999999%" actually means, if not uptime?

Think of durability like the bank telling you that your money is 99.99999999% secure in their vault, but you can only access it from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. The bank's "uptime" is really low (40 hours / 168 hours * 100%) but your money's "durability" is quite high.
