  Videos played for me, but none of the surrounding text (comments, playlist, etc) was there.

Snapchat is also having issues, I believe they are also on GCP. And as of this post, https://status.cloud.google.com/ https://status.cloud.google.com/ shows no problems. Edit: 1:31 mountain, now it shows an issue with the Compute Engine. https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/19003 https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/19003

  I'm having issues with the GCP console, but all our GCP services are working without issue. Lots of errors related to spanner popping up in the console. I have seen some reports of Cloud pub/sub not working.
  - skunkworker 7y ago
    Interesting, this should be a good post-mortem about what happened and why the errors weren't showing up on the status dashboard.

        Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?

        Imagine taking the time to write this as a response to a light-hearted comment on the high-profile failings of other mega-corporations in a similar vein over the past several months/years. Rather, you take some perceived offense on behalf of your associates at Alphabet who refused to learn from the missteps of others :/
        dang 7y ago
        None of us here has any associates at Alphabet. Please stop now.

        Sure, though, as parting words of advice: flagging posts simply because you do not agree with them does not serve to assist with the Orwellian reputation of this site.

Nest is also down. My apartment is burning hot, help! :/
- jeremydeanlakey 7y ago
  Not familiar with Nest. Does your thermostat not work if your internet doesn't work?
  - juancampa 7y ago
    Not from my phone. I have to get up and change it, but it's too hot and I don't wanna move
    - stephenr 7y ago
      It’s funny. I have this little thing on my desk that lets me adjust the air conditioning, and it doesn’t rely on wifi or internet access or any “clouds”... it’s called a “remote control”. If you’re silly enough to rely on internet access to change the temperature in your house you deserve to be hot.
      - sergiomattei 7y ago
        Tone it down. I'm pretty sure the parent comment was, while grounded in reality, expressed in a humorous tone. As he said, he can just get up and change the air conditioning.
      - dang 7y ago
        Please don't be a jerk on HN. Please do "respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." The parent was absurd enough that it was probably a joke. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

        The doors at my work open with an app. It connects through the internet. My phone switches from mobile data to wifi as I get near the door, causing a several second wait. Now I hit the button before I reach the wifi and then run to the door to try to get it before it locks again. Hopefully we never lose internet...
jeremydeanlakey 7y ago
My code is having some trouble with Firestore as well. I was getting 503s ten minutes ago but now it's just really slow.

Looks like a GCP-wide outage. And you can't tell them because their ticketing system at https://cloud.google.com/support/ https://cloud.google.com/support/ is down too :-)

The timing of this is interesting, one day after the DoJ announcement. A reminder of how important Google is to us, and how we shouldn't be jeopardizing it with anti-trust probes /s.

  I wonder why everyone seems to be using Gmail. Nobody I know (mostly in Germany) really uses a Gmail-address except for registering their Android device. Why is it so popular elsewhere?
  - skybrian 7y ago
    It's free, easy to use, and normally fast and reliable. What's popular in Germany?
    - martin_a 7y ago
      Probably anything else. GMX, web.de, T-Online are the biggest that come to my mind. They offer free mailboxes just like Gmail does, but are here since the early day. I think I registered with GMX in something like 2000 or so. If Telekom/T-Mobile/T-Online is your internet provider, you'll automatically have a mailbox with them, too. Some people use it, some don't, I think it's most often ease of use and installation so it's popular with older people or small companies.
    - copperx 7y ago
      I am curious too about what's popular in Germany. I hope it's something better than ISP-provided emails.
      - martin_a 7y ago
        As mentioned above, we have several services for free mailboxes. Obviously you can have a @t-online.de address, not only if you are a customer of the Magenta giant. Wikipedia lists some [1] providers and I think I have seen addresses from all of those providers in the wild or my mailbox.

  That was related to the GCP issues, but there should be no more errors. Google Cloud has resolved the issue as of 23:00 UTC yesterday.

Google's G Suite Status Dashboard is here: https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status https://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en&v=status Shows Gmail, Calendar and Hangouts with service disruptions. EDIT: 3 minutes later, and now Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Voice are showing disruption too. Cascading. EDIT2: 21:07 UTC - All above services plus Google Sync are now showing service outage (red).

19:30 UTC and while several services appear to be back up IMAP logins to gmail are still timing out (UK, on BT).

Weird, I'm able to use Gmail on desktop, but my iPhone hasn't been able to sync since messages 1:44pm Central US time (18:44 UTC), even after restarting. Is this related?
