#2How is this an interesting news ?
Because my comment isn't clear. This is not an interesting news. A link to the twitter status or the github status (https://status.github.com/messages) would be relevant in that case. not just some link to a third party telling us it's down. Yeah thank you. I could have notice it on my own....

Because it just brought a lot of people's work to a screeching halt. People who are massively represented here on HN.

Probably because they said they are under a large ddos attack? :-?
I wonder why would someone do something like this? It's not like github is evil or anything... it's just a really cool and useful tool for coders. It helped a lot of people better their skills and knowledge. Why would someone attack it? (I am genuinely interested in this as I can't think of a reason someone would do something like this)

It's the main hosting service for most developers' source code and a large part of how many open source projects organize, communicate and work.
I guess that makes it a tiny bit more relevant than yet another post about how some mediocre entrepreneur thinks we should all live our lives.

many people on HN will also find it useful to know that github is down for everyone (rather than just them)

Because tragically, most people have all their eggs in one github shaped basket.
Git on it's own doesn't suffer from the issue of scary downtime (occasionally repo corruption...), but people have bought deeply into the value-added ecosystem that github throws over the top of it.
It's a show-stopper for them.
