everything is red now.
Google outage – resolved

#352HN outage is soon to be the next one. The HN server is overwhelmed by the traffic due to Google’s outrage. :/

It's correct for me now
Re: Google outage – resolved
#354So, 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?
Whatever data I have backed up in the cloud is synced across multiple devices that I use. Even if the cloud disappeared altogether, I still have it. The cloud allows me to keep an up to date copy across various devices.
What's annoying is that synchronisation does't work for google slides or google docs. They are just synchronized as links to the webpage on my computer.

#355I feel kinda bad - I'm pretty sure I broke Google as I was uploading quite a few large files via Google Drive and it was chugging pretty hard.
And now because of that it seems HN is also hurting.
I'm sorry internet.

#356Everything is affected. Its Gaia(Google Auth) outage, most probably. Disclaimer - Googler here whose workplace chat is not working.
This is bad opsec

#357It's super interesting that all Google services that I've tried are down _except_ for Google Search. What would isolate Search from the rest of Google's products such that it wouldn't be affected by a mass outage like this?
I’d guess Search is pretty well segregated from basically everything else because of how valuable it is - I’m logged into Google on Search and it works fine (unlike everything else)
Search works for me but it thinks I’m logged out - it just prompted me with the 'please agree to our T+Cs' dialog.

#360Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seems like everyone going on HN now. The site is so slow
Interesting cascade effect of sites going down! I wonder where people will go next to check if HN is down? Also wondering if this is perhaps the fastest upvoted HN post ever? 8 mins -> ~350 votes, 15 mins -> ~750 votes. I wonder if @dang could chime in with some stats? Update: looks like it hit 1000 upvotes in ~25 mins! Update: 1500 in ~40 mins Update: 2000 in ~1 hour 20 mins (used the HN API for the timestamp)
