Github is definitely in 2-digits this year.

I doubt it. (Assuming by 2 digits you mean < 99.0%, ie that they don't have "two nines" (though I guess two nines could even be 98.5 with rounding)).

1% downtime is over three days. They've had some big outages, but I think this may be their longest of the year and it was a < 6 hours. They could have one of those every month and still only have 72 hours of downtime, which is 99.18%.

I'm pretty certain he means 2 digits of hours, given the reference in the parent comment to 10s of hours of downtime
