Oh shit. I assumed outlook was being flaky because my inbox is 10gb.

#25Most of the websites I use have been fine, outside of the odd hiccups while browsing HN.
It is the hiccup that have been worring me in the past week. I've gotten 502 or error json files from banking, imdb, online doc for some api, gmail, but a retry fixed the issue always. It is not as sexy as all websites are down, but all website are of dubious quality now.

What if we took down _every_ website for our product announcements??

Is HN struggling so much due to the Apple event or is there another explanation?
It could be both? A wider outage at a high traffic time. HN is timing out constantly for me. So are some Microsoft services. But then some other websites are loading fine...
HN timeouts only applied while logged in with me

> "is there another explanation?" It's aliens. They literally announced they have been reverse engineering space ships from aliens from outer space. I mean I don't think it's true but it's what they announced.
After I read your comment, I googled.
No one official announced anything. Instead an "insider" claims this. Among the claims, is that aliens are working with governements, and provided key tech, such as fiber optics, and silicon chips.
Yeah. OK.
I can literay, over a century, trace all the key scientific discoveries, how they happened, for transistors, ICs, etc. There was no help.
And shining light through glass isn't that fancy of a tech.
These articles piss me off. They belittle the capabilities of humans, for profit.
