The program that updates the status page is hosted on Google Cloud.
- ashu1461 1y agoSo even then, it should have been able to correctly report the status, it somehow shows that the status page is not automated and any change there needs to go through someone manual.
- 9rx 1y agoA program that updates the status page failing does not imply that the status page is manually edited. It is not like you would generate a status page on every request.
- ashu1461 1y agoHow do we know that the program is failing ? How hard is it for the frontend to detect if the last update to the status page was made a while ago and that itself implies there is an error and should be reported ?
- 9rx 1y agoWe don’t. But why would the frontend have processing logic when all you need is to serve a static HTML document? Even if it did, what would you do with that information? Throw up a screen with: Call us for service information at 1-HAHA-JUST-KIDDING It’s not like it really matters if it’s accurate anyway.
- rapus95 1y agothe services ARE healthy, status page is correct. The backbone which links YOU to the service isn't healthy. Take a look at cloudflare, they are already working on it
- ikiris 1y agoNot even close. The status page is manual and cloud flares outage is because of Google not the other way around.
- tfsh 1y agoIt's not. You might be joking, but that comment still isn't helpful. My understanding is this is part of Google's internal PSD offering (Public Status Board) which uses SCS (Static Content Service) behind GFE (Google Frontend) which is hosted on Borg, and deploys other large scale apps such as Search, Drive, YouTube, etc.
- 9rx 1y agoHow could it not be helpful given that it gave you reason to provide more details that you wouldn't have otherwise shared? You may not have thought this through. There is nothing more helpful. Unless you think your own comment isn't helpful, but then...
- refulgentis 1y agoBecause "It's good to lie because it makes people correct me" is a joke about IRC, not a viable stable game-theoretic optimal position.
- 9rx 1y agoCunningham's Law emerged in the newsgroups era, well predating the existence of IRC. Of course, I recognize that you purposefully pulled the Cunningham's Law trigger so that you, too, would gain additional knowledge that nobody would have told you about otherwise, as one logically would. And that you played it off as some kind of derision towards doing that all while doing it yourself made it especially funny. Well done!
- refulgentis 1y agoI have 0 idea what Cunningham's Law is, so we can both agree that "recognizing purpose" was "mind-reading", in this case. I didn't really bother reading the rest after the first sentence because I saw something about how I joking and congratulating me in my peripheral vision. It is what it says on the tin: choosing to lie doesn't mean you want the truth communicated. I apologize that it comes across as aggro, its just that I'm not quite as giggly about this as you are. I think I can safely assume you're old enough to recognize some deleterious effects of lying
