That's a non sequitur and rude. Please don't be rude in comments on HN.
Edit: I just refreshed my memory of what's going on with your comments and it's not ok. As we've explained to you before, your attacks on one specific organization (it's obvious which one, but it doesn't matter which one it is) go to such an extreme that they long ago crossed into trolling. We asked you to stop; since you either can't or won't, we've banned your account. I hesitate to, because it exposes us to the criticism some people love to make, that we're protecting interest X or interest Y. But you've so clearly been abusing HN that I don't see what choice we have. This site is for thoughtful conversation, not tendentious vendettas.
As it happens, we banned another user some time ago for doing the same thing about the same organization, only they were promoting it instead of attacking it. Either way it's not ok.
I'm happy he posted it. TIL that they're API compatible. That's a big deal for anybody thinking of insulating themselves from something like this in the future without maintaining two code bases.
Right, it's more of a grey area. It's clearly a bad day for all involved, but there are enough sub-threads here about "What can I move to" that I felt a top-level comment about how GCS has worked hard to continue S3 interop support was warranted (it's clearly not widely known).
I'm happy the top comment was posted, and simultaneously happy that you pointed out that it is in questionable taste/timing.
Life is full of tradeoffs and balances, it's not wrong to point out the social or human ramifications of a post, just as it's not wrong to reply, "Yes, but nevertheless..."
