What Are They Getting Us Ready For?
Microsoft fell over, Japan's phones failed twice and Europe's schools emptied. Who they blame, who was in the rooms, and what it is getting us ready for.
Friday, November 13. Microsoft spent Thursday night explaining, post by post, why its servers kept falling over. A core process on the machines was being overwhelmed. It had found no recent change to blame. Servers it brought back went down again as soon as traffic reached them. Late on Thursday night it was still bringing regions back one at a time.
It is the latest break in a run that has now reached phones, schools, newsrooms and planes. In our view these are not accidents and not tests. Each one gets people a little more used to living without the system we have all become comfortable with.
Today: the outages, the phones, the threats, who they are telling you did it, getting used to it, Camp David, the move onto the bases, the rooms, Trump on Iran, Baghdad's budget, Tuesday's alert test, and the street.
