Yup, Google Docs went down, but it’s coming back

If you’ve had trouble loading Google Docs this afternoon, you’re not alone. The company said that an outage has been “affecting a significant subset of users” who were unable to access it since about 3:48 PM ET. As of 4:55 PM ET the status had been updated to say “Google Docs service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users in the near future, ” and at 5:10, that ” The problem with Google Docs should be resolved.” So, yeah, get up and stretch before getting back to work, study or your obsessive spreadsheet of fantasy sports stats, but don’t go too far — things should be back to normal in about the time it takes for your browser to refresh. We’re actively investigating an issue with Docs not loading. Thanks for your patience as we look into it. — Google Docs (@googledocs) November 15, 2017 Docs is back up for most users, and we expect a full resolution for all users shortly. Sorry for this disruption and thanks again for your patience with us. — Google Docs (@googledocs) November 15, 2017 Source: Google Docs – Service Details

Dashcam Footage of Tesla Predicting Accident Seconds Before it Happens

We’re now starting to see some of the incredible safety gains offered by sensor-equipped Teslas. An over-the-air software upgrade from September allowed first-generation Teslas to have something like X-ray vision; the radar waves can bounce around and underneath the car in front of you, providing the computer with information on what the driver cannot see–i.e., the car in front of the car in front of you. This dashcam video from a Tesla driving down a Dutch highway was uploaded just yesterday. The car’s occupants cannot clearly see that an accident is brewing–but the Tesla does, sounding a chime and automatically applying the brakes to prevent a pile-up: I also love how the father prudently, immediately checks what is going on behind their stopped car before getting out to help. This video is a prime example of both computer and human smarts in action. Transportation website Electrek reports that no one, including the folks involved in the rollover, was injured.
