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.
How many employees do you think Google has? Do you think they're all working on the same task?

I am not google, but if i were to start looking for idiots to throw under a bus for this outage, you will on top of the list. besides google won't be exactly calling you because you made that comment here. other commenters are right that you should not expose your personal number on internet regardless of it was you or not
210 points in 5 minutes. 500 in 10. Seems everyone see's the status page and is like "hey, time to check hn" ;-) EDIT: You can permanently refresh and see the score increase by 2-3 points each second. Wow. EDIT 2: 1800 after one hour, but a few points were probably lost due to HN downtime. Being quick to post is important, guys;-)
I feel like HN's server aren't very happy with everybody doing this though. Stop bullying the servers :(

Good. Now, at least a few people would search Google alternatives in DDG
Search is still working. It’s Drive, Meet, and other stuff that millions of people depend on for work, so maybe stow your glee for a moment.
Did Maria Christensen make a mistake when adding "return true;"?
(This is a joke referencing Tom Scott's 2014 parable[1] about the danger of designing a system with a single point of failure. Tom's tells the fictional tale of a high level employee at Google adding "return true;" to the global "handleLogin()" function.)

I'm pretty sure there will be some internal conferences at Google after this to make sure infrastructure problems can't propagate across the entire company and world at this rate even in the event of a sysop fatfingering a console...
