Hypothesizing that today’s big tech outage may be related to the big tech outage that was less than 24 hours ago is natural and sensible.

If I’m not tasked with solving the problems then is there anything I can do for that is productive? Discussing it at all seems like unproductive rubbernecking.

Sir, this is an internet forum. Why are you here if you have problems to resolve?

Totally agree; op is No True Scotsman.

▲rsoto2 6 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Right because here on a hacker news thread we are resolving the problem and not rubber necking

▲devmor 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Why is anyone else expected to be productive in their speculation?

Huh? I'm not at work, nobody is picking up my slack. If you want to deal with your own life, fine, but this is an Internet forum - the only reason it exists is to chat about whatever.

is this productive?

▲LdBaringSwallow 7 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-]

Agreed. I would apply this further; stop letting 1970s and 1980s pop culture fads consume our attention; let go of Star Wars and Marvel etc etc; previous centuries headlines

Let go of software dev; as is a mechanical task from the 60s-70s

Cultural memory begets cultural conservatism

But we can still keep Monty Python, right?

God forbid the news cycle slow down enough for society to process events rather than being continuously forcefed the next thing in the outrage cycle.

This is why there's such an issue with holding power to account nowadays.

▲Vegenoid 7 hours ago | parent [-]

I think you’ve misunderstood- this is an outage, not an outrage

▲verandaguy 6 hours ago | parent [-]

Well, in any case it's the outr?age cycle.

All flights grounded seems plenty newsworthy to me.
