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.
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
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?
Leap second strikes again
Anon tweet last night:
"Wonder if tomorrow is going to be bad for Wall Street.... we can only hope."

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.
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.
Obliteracy: Words with explosions
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
This is to protect from the rush to dump Chinese stock. There might be no honor amongst thieves, but this is a professional courtesy.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
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.
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.....
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?
Bantam Dominique roosters crow a four-note song. Once you've heard it as "Happy BIRTHday" you can't NOT hear it that way
Look at the timing more closely -- was this tweeted after the Chinese markets had already crashed? One could easily predict that today would have been bad for Wall Street regardless of any crash.
