Question: Did people find HN horribly slow this afternoon? (I found it unusably slow around 2 pm pacific, but there was little I could do about it from where I was then.)
Edit: this was using https, I didn't try http.
The reason it caught my attention was due to the recent https "Ask" threads, and my first thought was perhaps full time https had been implemented. I wouldn't bring it up except that it was unusual and correlated with HN content and the outage, even though it is likely to be a coincidence.
