With respect, should HN really be about posting every time a site (as opposed to a major service provider) goes down? This isn't really useful information.
So, LinkedIn down. Reddit currently down too. Also StumbleUpon, Yelp.
Also down early today Heroku, Netflix, Instagram, Rapportive, Pinterest ...
Not a good day for the Internet.
Are these all EC2 issues ? Leap second issues ?
All this leap second stuff reminds me of Y2K, except its actually happening and actually taking the internet down...
Let's not post when sites go down, even if it is a large site.
Reddit is showing its emergency maintenance page sporadically, I wonder if the root cause is the same.
