YouTube Music failed in an interesting way. My music has been playing, but I started hearing ads (I'm on Premium), which prompted me to check what was going on.
That supports the claim about it being an auth issue.

#433Gmail and Youtube are back online for me. Hangouts is beach balling. There is a warning at the top of my screen though.
"Gmail is temporarily unable to access your Contacts. You may experience issues while this persists."

#434But why is HN so slow? Pages take like 30+ seconds to load for me (German vantage point, other sites are fine). Does it timeout on some Google dependency or try to use a Google submarine cable or something? Or is everyone just posting to HN about it?
If memory serves, HN is hosted on a relatively lightweight server configuration.

#437Just 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
Mistakes happen... that page is probably still correct 99,9999% of the time! /s
These uptime numbers cloud providers gives out can't be nowhere near actual uptime.

#438Earlier quoted context omitted.
HN is my goto status page when these things happen, never failed to provide up-to-date reliable information.
Google should write an AI application that checks on HN if their systems are working and display the result live on their status page. That would be more reliable than the current system they have in place (which is obviously not working at all).
won't help when the ai service itself is down.

#439It's also weird the page title with "Error 500 (Server Error)!!1" - Why !!1 at the end of it?
Internet jargon; when a commenter is overly excited, they tend to overuse exclamation points. In the rush to add many exclamation points, the shift key might not be held down for all of them.
So you end up with things like "OMG!!!!111"

#440Is Google Auth down because of the SolarWinds Orion exploit?
