AT 1:53 PM, umich IT services reported (on xitter):

Due to a technology issue, internet connectivity will be intermittent or unavailable on the U-M Ann Arbor, Flint and Dearborn campuses starting around 1:45 pm on Sunday, August 27. Service will be restored as quickly as possible. We greatly apologize for the inconvenience. 1/2

9:52 PM update:

UPDATE: We are making progress but we are still working to resolve ongoing issues with U-M online services. We understand that this has a large impact for the community, and we regret the timing. The next update will be posted by midnight ET.

Midnight update:

UPDATE: Thank you for your patience. Teams remain working to restore access to online services. While systems currently remain offline, https://ro.umich.edu/calendars/schedule-of-classes is now live to allow Ann Arbor students to check public course schedules & locations. (1/2)

Our next update will be made at 9:00 am ET. Updates will be available on https://umich.edu and on @umichtech on Twitter. We, again, apologize for the inconvenience. (2/2)

9 AM update:

We apologize for the ongoing disruption. On Sunday, the difficult decision was made to separate the U-M network from the internet to help mitigate technical issues. It was not made lightly, particularly given the timing with the first day of classes. Classes are meeting. (1/2)

9 AM update cont’d:

We will continue to restore systems and provide updates throughout Monday. We are hopeful we will have several systems back online by Monday afternoon. Updates will be available on https://umich.edu and on @umichtech on Twitter. We apologize for the inconvenience. (2/2)

A while back, someone tooted something wise about why we build optimizing compilers… along the lines of “it’s not so much to eke out diminishing performance returns from old heaps of dusty C, although that’s nice too; it’s more about making new language abstractions practical.”

Anybody remember this toot I now can’t find? I’d love to cite it as opening-day class motivation.

@adrian it must have been @regehr who said that

Apparently Duo (the widely used 2FA service) is having a “systemwide outage”.

@mattblaze just tried and it works for me … ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Checked into the hotel. Somehow I got a suite on the 24th floor that has amazing views.

Here are the informed-by-system-design tenants of my presidental platform (all extremely feasible and i think broadly supported):

  1. Swap the tax brackets of earned income and capital gains
  2. Make it illegal to sell any company for more than $1b
  3. Remove the ability to write off investment losses.

Folks: Do NOT ask someone why they can’t take Paxlovid. There's a long list of contraindications and drug interactions (see https://www.fda.gov/media/155050/download), many of which involve personally sensitive conditions: cancer, HIV, hormonal birth control use, erectile dysfunction, neuropsychiatric conditions, and more. Maybe the drug is something they don't mind discussing—some antibiotics are on the list—but maybe it's not. If they say they can't take it, believe them and let it be.

@SteveBellovin oh wow, i found one of my meds on that list! thanks for posting!

Will be in Porto at the end of September.

Given my known love of Port, what are the non-standard options for an easy evening of tasting/enjoyment?

Doing some kind of genetic Port tour doesn't really appeal to me.

Calling it now: As global warming become more and more obvious and undeniable, climate deniers are going to pivot hard towards geoengineering. Really stupid, really poorly thought out geoengineering that serves mainly as an excuse to embezzle money and cause problems. -_-

@Angle yes, it seems inevitable at this point
