I'm not sure the timeline is important, other than to say HN posters shouldn't submit incendiary tweets as HN topics without some sort of corroboration. Especially when the person who tweets and posts on HN are the same.
Here's the timeline I saw:
11:16 - A person blames AWS of something without additional context and understanding
11:23 - Presumably the same person posts on HN (to signal boost? farm karma from the anti-Amazon crowd sure to pop up? both?)
Never:Never - OP apologizes for rousing the HN pitchfork mob

- chuckSu 6y agoThis!
- cutemonster 6y agoI read the original posts. In my experience, most people do.
- tingletech 6y agoI read the comments first, to decide if I want to read the post. But I read the post before I comment.
