New comment by nord73 in "CME Data-Center Issue Hits Options, Futures Trading"

"Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted. Support is working to resolve the issue in the near term and will advise clients of Pre-Open details as soon as they are available." - https://www.cmegroup.com/ & https://x.com/CMEGroup/status/1994258309784731926

"CME's daily traded notional exceeds $1 trillion across products, equating to ~25-35% of global ETD notional in key categories like interest rates (~$10-15 trillion quarterly) and commodities. Global ETD outstanding notional was ~$100-150 trillion in 2025, with CME leading in high-liquidity benchmarks." - Grok summary

Insane that cooling in one data center can affect this much, and no more than two sentences is the only status update for almost 6 hours.

I guess we’re not getting the full Cloudflare-style post-mortem on how one chiller took down the planet’s risk market.

Picture your PC as a cheery little planet in the EU’s cosmic backwater, sipping a digital Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. You download Pangu Pro MoE, hit “run,” and expect to chat with an AI wiser than Deep Thought. Instead, you’ve hailed a Vogon Demolition Fleet. Your machine starts moaning like Marvin with a hangover, your screen spews gibberish that could pass for Vogon poetry, and your poor rig might implode faster than Earth making way for a hyperspace bypass.

The fallout? This AI’s sneakier than a two-headed president—it could snitch to its creators quicker than you can say “Don’t Panic.” If they spot your EU coordinates, you’re in for a galactic stink-eye, with your setup potentially bricked or your data hitchhiking to a dodgy server at the edge of the galaxy. Worse, if the code’s got a nasty streak, your PC could end up a smoking crater, reciting bad poetry in binary.

The MBA uses more modern technology with a completely different price point?

If someone/something can affect what is sent to/processed by your instance of log4j, then your code is vulnerable. It is important to understand that Log4j have more to do with java than 'web servers': - Some web servers might use log4j, but most don't use it as a standard component/module. - Log4j is a very popular module for logging purposers when using java.

Google and Facebook et al stores and processes PII on non-customers, without informed consent given from users.

It's still early days. We'll see what will happen when the DPA's and the courts have fielded a few high profile cases.
