Glitches: United Airlines Grounds All Flights, NYSE Suspends Trading
mitcheli writes: In short order, some major outages occurred [Wednesday] morning. First United Airlines reported a system wide grounding of all flights due to "technical difficulties" with little details to follow. Following that, the New York Stock Exchange reported "technical difficulties" while suspending all trading. While initial reports on NYSE state that there is no malicious activity as a result of the outage, few details have been released at this time. "NYSE/NYSE MKT has temporarily suspended trading in all symbols. Additional information will follow as soon as possible," the NYSE said in a statement on its status page.
The rest were just "sons of glitches".

My TV doesn't tell me that, it tells me it's flat, with some bad indicators.
Wow, sent an e-mail as suggested when clicking on "use classic" banner, and got a fast response that addressed my msg
This is why I don't let my servers get automatic updates. :-D
...as long as John McClane isn't a fictional character...
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Some clueless office jockey rolled his chair over the intertube to the Internet. Happens all the time.
This is really scary, and it seems like a lot of people don't even think about it at all.
Think about it. Some entity somewhere gets into multiple infrastructure systems, shuts down power, water, gas, takes down key sites like facebook and twitter so people can't communicate, stuff like that. Then, on top of that panic multiple attacks around the country at nearly same time.
Just the confusion and panic alone would be scarring to most people.
"Nah, that'll never happen", maybe not, but holy shit, imagine if it did.
Seems like something major is happening. Someone declare war on the Internets?
IT'S HAPPENING!
We'd all be safe from this calamity if the traitor John Snowden hadn't sold our country's secrets to the Soviets.
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
A wake-up call to politicians that the security back doors they continue to foist upon everything can be used against them. I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be an attack from Anonymous just to demonstrate that point.
I just checked my bank account, and I have about $4,000,000,000 more or so than I did yesterday ... for some reason. So I'll be happy to take care of some inconveniences this may cause. I just have to go out and, um, buy a few things first.
Saw some amazon data services and liverail outages on the east coast, maybe that's near root cause?
Are you sure it just wasn't unintentionally DDOSed by millions of day-traders wondering what happened to the NYSE?

Just go back to jumping into frame and making funny remarks, Johnny!
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
...welcome our new Skynet overlord.
If NYSE is down to "technical" reasons it's because one or more of the high-frequency-theft algorithms has lost its shit again and messed everything up.
Mark my words, this will be about protecting the clowns who are skimming off the top from their own stupidity and greed.
Lost at C:>. Found at C.
please do not sell your chini stocks or fly to somewhere you still can.
Interestingly enough, trading--even of NYSE listings--seems to be continuing along just fine without the NYSE.
It's almost enough to make people start to wonder aloud whether or not they're still relevant.

I sure hope these hacks make flight prices cheap!
My TV doesn't tell me that, it tells me it's flat, with some bad indicators.
My TV is also flat, but the indicators all work
Then United took down the NYSE so their share price wouldn't fall during the outrage.
This is to protect from the rush to dump Chinese stock. There might be no honor amongst thieves, but this is a professional courtesy.

Are we sure, there are only two major problems today?
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
I will. These glitches will be corrected post-haste, as many people's jobs and livelihoods depend on it. I'll go into work as per normal, and the US will continue to create jobs at a reasonable pace and the US will continue to grow for the forseeable future at a relatively static rate.
This would be funny except Ron Paul had said:
"My understanding is that espionage means giving secret or classified information to the enemy. Since Snowden shared information with the American people, his indictment for espionage could reveal (or confirm) that the US Government views you and me as the enemy."
See, i am not even a stalwart Ron Paul guy, but I do respect him a political philosopher. The feel of the idea seemed off to me, so I did an entire 10 sec of Google searching to check. It is easy to hate and disparage others, because you were told to. It is harder not be a lap dog and think for yourself.
"Liberalism is a very noble idea, currently controlled by some very bad people. Be sure you do not get the two confused.
Or they get fixed fast, you go to work only to find out your getting replaced by a foreigner , the jobs market will continue to suck but the numbers will be manipulated and the economy will tank just prior to the 2016 election or just after depending on who's turn it it is to flip the switch.
Not letting their average PE ratio hit 100 would have been mighty helpful. Too late for that, now the bubble has popped and there is no fixing it with delays.
Delays will only increase the panic.

'Evil republicans' troll, please invest in Chinese stocks now that their average PE ratio is down to a 'very nicely priced' 70. What can go wrong?

Apparently Skynet goes live July 8th 2015, though in this timeline it's an evolution of flash trading algorithms rather than a DoD project. In a panic they shut down the exchange.....
Only the NYSE floor was taken off line.
ARCA, the electronic trading part of the NYSE stayed on line

Went there to make a withdrawal during lunch and they where doing everything by paper & pencil. $300 max withdrawal. They said it was a problem with a 'Global Internet Provider, the same one used by the airlines that are down.'
I guess the ominous fiber-cable cutters finally found the right cable to cut.
Oh please. We'll just alert John McClane. He can handle it. He may need help from Justin Long and Kevin Smith, but he's got this handled.
Well, the traffic in the DC area was pretty awful this morning...
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Fallen 32% in the last month. It is now only up 100% from a year ago and has a PE ratio in the 70 neighborhood. It's a bubble. Please invest your retirement there.

Except Snowden gave the information to everyone, US and foreign.
Riddle me this: How do you give it to the American People WITHOUT also giving it to everyone else, US and foreign?
Do you REALLY think 321 million people can keep a secret?

Amen.
He just needs to add some indicator fluid.
Repeating this fascist crap over and over doesn't make it true.
I am one of the biggest supporters of Snowden on this site. What he said is true. However, I accept the loss and think it was worth it to have had the other information released. I think he should be pardoned. However, he did break the law. It does not even need a trial - you can judge for yourself. I think his breaking the law was justified and that a judge or jury should refuse to find him guilty. You can say that he is not guilty because he has not been tried. That does not mean he did not break the law. Courts do not find you innocent - they find you not guilty. He is as guilty as they come but should not be prosecuted.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
When it goes down a bit more I am in for a large sum. I know it will go lower but I am not going to wait too long. I can afford to risk it and let the investment sit idle. I have every reason to believe it will return to bubble anew. It is a risk I accept and, really, I am just gambling anyways.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Bean counters consider engineers and IT workers to be fungible, so they like to boost quarterly profits by getting rid of experienced company employees and filling the seats with much less expensive and less experienced contractors who don't fully understand the jobs they are filling. No idea if that's what happened at NYSE and United, but I've seen it happen other places and result in "glitches".

I guess a few billion here, a few billion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
Speculate away. Just don't complain when you lose your money and never again complain about HFT or day traders, because you are one of them.
But think about how corrupt the Chinese economy is. Right now the most powerful people in China are losing money hand over fist. Your plan is to put your money alongside theirs and hope you get the same deal they will.
Also note: The evil republicans troll has identified himself. It's KGIII!
John McAfee 'It was like that time I hired that Bangkok prostitute; to do my taxes, while I fucked my accountant'
LOL I am further left than you. I am not a HFT either - mine will be an investment that lasts years because I think that is where the money is. I am a speculator... I am not even that. I am mostly a gambler who does not mind losing the money. What do you care? I pay my taxes and donate a bunch to very good causes. A Republican? Laughable and silly. Good trolling though.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
"My TV doesn't tell me that, it tells me it's flat, with some bad indicators." PLUS it tells you how much better it is than the rest of the world RIGHT? So that makes even more reason to trounce the euro etc. Meanwhile China's stock market plunge is being covered VERY little. I hope they don't want their 1.5 trillion US$ real soon.
The 'evil republicans' troll is upthread. He spams /. with 'evil republicans' fantasies. Ether a deranged leftest of a right winger who thinks he's clever.
Just for reference there are two kinds of people with money in markets, speculators who 'invest' for the short term using velocity type strategies, and investors who invest for the long term, usually on fundamentals. Both types are gamblers.
Nobody who invests on fundamentals would put a penny into the Chinese market today. PE of 70 is fully bubble territory (bubbles start at 20, even for rapid growth, own their market type companies). The most basic problem the Chinese have is turning a decent rate of profit. 2% is typical. They have no pricing power, everything they make is 'commodity'.
