Re: GitHub down?
#55Is there any points to making these threads? So far it's been <10 minutes of downtime. Not a big deal at all. If it's a few hours then I'd consider these appropriate, but for real... this downtime is tiny so far.
I flag every single "is down" post that I see. Anyone who cares already knows. Anyone who can supply inside information is (hopefully) too busy fixing it to comment on an HN thread.
Websites, even massively popular ones, go down from time to time. Unless there is a post-mortem with interesting technical reasons for the outage, there is nothing to be gained from talking about it. If you need further evidence, just read the comments on this thread. It's just a bunch of "me too" posts. Or reposts of information sources that anyone who cares about the outage already knows how to access.
