In all my time here, I have never seen this “Sorry.” page before.

Does anyone know what that’s about?

Its a about the CEO of the leading firm in the area of tech most at the center of technical and political controversy and interest right now being forced out by their board, when that CEO had, even before taking on that role, particular high salience among the HN audience as, among other things, the former head of YC, and the resulting (I am assuming from the oerformance and dangs description) state of near-meltdown of HNs servers.

The "Sorry" page is a standard HN error message that shows up when the server is under high load, it has nothing to do with this link specifically
