Just checked https://www.google.com/appsstatus all green, which does not reflect reality for me (e.g. Gmail is down) edit: shows how incredibly difficult introspection is

What's the point of having a status page when it can't reliably tell you the factual status?

Helps Google meet a 99.999% SLA!

What do you think, how much money are they losing right now every second?

Do tech companies post that kind of data?

When I worked in the automotive industry, the Detroit Big 3 American auto makers had figured out their cost per minute of downtime. They would even charge that to their suppliers and anyone who shut down one of their plants.

It was something like $10,000 per minute since they’re able to roll a complete vehicle off the assembly line about every minute
