I'm not sure how you could postulate that they're related

  Targeted attacks on specific aspects/assets of a major websites infrastructure? Eg target a specific service that both sites have in common in their back end? Not even sure if that's feasible but it's an idea.

    I figured it was just a coincidence, but the HN network is so well informed I thought I'd just ask the question on the off-chance it wasn't. I personally don't find a relation likely.

      Oh I find the relation very unlikely. I was just trying to think up a potential connection for fun/curiosity, as the coincidence is pretty crazy that two huge sites known for very few/little outages had major outages in the same week.
