Did anyone else notice that 11/15 top stories on HN right now are Amazon announcements? Crazy. Sorry for the offtopicish post...

  Reinvent causes this to happen every year. And to be frank, AWS announcements generally have major impact on the internet as a whole, especially on how people do business on it. So, it's deserved, i would say. Full disclosure: former AWS Employee

  Its the AWS developers conference right now. You see the same effect for other big tech firms during their respective equivalents.

  Isn't that because re:invent is happening now?

  They need to chill on posting. They posted 15 posts to the front page and thats 50% of the headlines... all amazon. Hope everyone loves amazon!

  how is that different than when apple has it's launch days? the announcements are mostly relevant to the major audiences here, seems reasonable to think they'd get a surge of upvotes
