It's weekend, why wouldn't you take it off? It's just silly software.

A quick search suggests that silly software is used by dozens of companies classified as hospitals or healthcare.

Let's hope you don't have a life threatening medical emergency that can't wait near an affected healthcare facility while that silly software is down.

If your ability to operate an ER is dependent on a remote data center, you have no business being a public health provider.

A lot of people's businesses, reputations and livelihoods depend on "silly software," not to mention that they are paying customers themselves.

I know sarcasm doesn't translate well on the internet, but how the heck did you manage to miss it in OPs post?!

More to the point, why would you depend on Google for any critical infrastructure after this?

Because you tried to run your own infrastructure and it was so much worse.

Then in a few months from now, people will be saying the same things after an AWS or Azure outage.

Am I the only one that finds this slightly humorous?
