But why is HN so slow? Pages take like 30+ seconds to load for me (German vantage point, other sites are fine). Does it timeout on some Google dependency or try to use a Google submarine cable or something? Or is everyone just posting to HN about it?

#304Gmail said my account was "temporarily" unavailable... had a moment considering if it wasn't temporary. Good reminder to remove my reliance on gmail especially.

#305Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seems like everyone going on HN now. The site is so slow
Interesting cascade effect of sites going down! I wonder where people will go next to check if HN is down? Also wondering if this is perhaps the fastest upvoted HN post ever? 8 mins -> ~350 votes, 15 mins -> ~750 votes. I wonder if @dang could chime in with some stats? Update: looks like it hit 1000 upvotes in ~25 mins! Update: 1500 in ~40 mins Update: 2000 in ~1 hour 20 mins (used the HN API for the timestamp)
