I also find it weird that on HN where normally people are very skeptical of any argument without data backing it, when it comes to this outage, people are assuming everything written here affects everyone.

Perhaps some of the issues are localized? Perhaps it's even user error (it happens, you know?). But because a small amount of HN users say "it's everywhere!" then suddenly people reach for their pitchforks.

Sometimes we just don't have all the information.

Most transparent, at least.
