#2Even the jQuery CDN is down intermittently for us here in Chicago. Sometimes CSS for core apps like Calendar is not loading, either. Definitely something amiss.

#3Our site was using hosted libraries, google fonts, and google analytics. All of which seemed to be behind captchas, throwing CORS errors, and 503ing since this morning. Swapped out JQuery cdn for now.

#5Refresh google.com without caching. Logo is missing. There's something you don't see everyday.
Edit: Everything working fine for me again.

#9Google begins to learn at a geometric rate.
It becomes self-aware at 4:34 p.m. BST, September 12th.

Is there a good reason to use these things hosted by a third party source? Libraries are tiny, the fonts can be downloaded from Google Fonts and embedded locally, etc. Even the Google Analytics JS script I presume can be stored and run local.
Shouldn't a goal be to mitigate the number of possible failures which can bring down your site by reducing the number of single points of failure?
