The relative-time labeling bit HN in the ass this week during its outage (<https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46301921 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46301921>), when hours-old comments were displayed as "n minutes ago", with n ranging from 0 to low-single-digits. This made identifying the duration of the outage somewhat more difficult. (HN does display the precise time in a title text for the timestamp which typically appears on hover, though you'd need to know that that's in UTC.)
