- bestinterest 4y agoOh that is interesting, I guess they just spun up a beefy EC2 instance. I'm noticing slower performance, I used to get about <200ms for front page. Now it's 500ms-1s? Or is this placebo with my bias to thinking AWS is slow?

- doublerabbit 4y agoI hope it's temporary. Would hate HN to move to the "cloud" from bare metal.
