Ask HN: Why does HN throw an error page when a link is clicked repeatedly?
When i click on `new` link repeatedly (5-10 times), I see an error page.
I made a gif: http://imgur.com/a/IJY53
Error page
===========
An error occurred.
Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.
If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.
Faithfully yours, nginx.

Is this some sort of DDOS protection?
