Calculating cost of downtime ==>

World economic output is - $150mn/minute

Current world population is 7.8bn.

Google has 4.8bn users. That's approx 61% of the population.

Let's assume about 50% of the users were impacted = 2.4bn (which is 30% of the population).

So, the loss could have been about $50mn/minute.

This is without taking SLA into consideration. There will be losses incurred on that too, wouldn't it?
