#192I’m seeing poor internet performance overall, even accessing HN...too many relying on Google DNS maybe? Even ISPs?

#194YouTube shows a "something's broken" error. Similar errors when trying to access Gmail. Tried on multiple browsers and connections, got the same result. The search engine works fine, as of now.
Youtube works when not logged in though.
You are right, the YT homepage opens up in private tabs. It seems strange, I wonder might be causing this.

#195This is a good time to think about what would happen if you lost access to your Google account.
Re: Google outage – resolved
#196So, anybody still feel like arguing that 'the cloud' is a viable back-up? Or is that a sore point right now? Just for a moment imagine: what if it never comes back again?
Of course it will, - at least, it better - but what if it doesn't? And if it does, are you going to take countermeasures in case it happens again or is it just going to be 'back to normal' again?

#197How's things like Stadia? Or is anybody using more exotic Google stuff? Like, how are their selfdriving cars doing?

#198Just 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
Out of curiosity, what response time do you expect on a page like that? And what level of detail? I'd much rather have their team focus on fixing this as fast as possible than trying to update that dashboard in the first 5 minutes.
> what response time do you expect on a page like that?
Faster than a free third-party website’s response time. Google should know they are down and tell people about it before Hacker News, Twitter, etc. Google should be the source of truth for Google service status, not social media.
> And what level of detail?
Enough to not tell people that there are “No issues” with services.

Google employs enough people to do both.

#199Appears to be only affecting pages that have an authenticated session; Youtube works in a private window, but not in window with cookies.
