Yesterday, I held a small Petrov Day ceremony at my house for roommates and a couple friends.
We placed a laptop at the end of the table, displaying the LessWrong website, set to refresh every 30 seconds.
The ruleset we chose for the ceremony was “if it turned out the LessWrong site went down, we would immediately end the ceremony and go home silently.”
Also, I entrusted everyone at the gathering with my launch codes.
I am pleased to report that none of them destroyed the frontpage. Hurray!
