Oh happy day!
It's down again today and I've getting that deja-vu feeling again.
On the one hand, MS strongly encourage all O365 Global Admins to enable and use MFA. On the other, they lock everyone out, including the admins. I wonder if the NSA or GCHQ will release details of their back doors?
Must be beer o'clock 'cos nothing else is going to get done today - and it's only Tuesday.
That's a pretty huge can of worms to open.
The varied interpretation of these and related colloquial chronological phrases has damn near resulted in divorce proceedings with Mrs Igor.
Speaking as a physicist, I contend that "THIS Tuesday" is the Tuesday of THIS week and may be in the past or in the future. From this, it logically follows that "NEXT Tuesday" MUST be in the NEXT week.
Of course there also has to be further agreement on the first day of the week when talking about this Sunday.
Calling Dr Streetmentioner...
Please say you were being sarcastic when you referred to New Scientist as "august"!
In today's dumbed-down new media era of anti-science and mistrust of experts and scientists, it seems to me that New Scientist and Scientific American (amongst others) have dumbed down so far that they are fast approaching red top status - from the wrong side.

Back to the playground with you, you poor, naive DevOps gurus!
There is no reasonable place for DevOps in any 'mission' (life/business) critical systems where customers depend on the services provided to complete essential tasks involving others such as checking bank balances, checking patient records and prescriptions, paying for goods etc.
Please feel free to play play DevOps guru with Netflix, Twitter, Facebook and all those non-essential services that far too many think represent 'real life', but leave the serious systems to serious operators who respect proper dev/test/approve/release cycles applying tried and tested deployment and contingency plans for when the *inevitable* snafus do rear their ugly heads.
