It's not a formal "news outlet". You can see what's on-topic at the top of the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Unless you were already well acquainted with the time-nuts universe, this is news...
Yes, but not "news" as in CNN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9835344). It's more like "new to you" (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Is this going around in other places today, or does posting something to HN qualify as "hype"?
With the recent abolition of the leap second, this is as good a time as any.
It was just the correct time.

I mean, time really is a tough nut to crack.
When is it time to run a world class time reference in your basement?
For time nuts, it's always time...
If you don't get it, then, you just don't get it...
