To be honest, the number of "linode screwed up" posts on hacker news the last few years would be educational to you, and if I remember correctly, ryanlol even got a slap on the wrist due to one of those situations.

At this point, I am bored of people asking for citations on hacker news for things that are should be part of our tribal knowledge.

Tribal is the right word here with all the blind faith in medicine men and cargo cultism.

I meant it in the way of shared knowledge, just like we all know how to bypass a NYT filter, or that someone is going to complain about the lack of native scrolling in an article, especially on a Show HN.

I definitely agree that there is a huge amount of that type of thinking on HN (of course), reading the amount of people who used github but didnt know the different between it and git and were commenting today was a personal education.

I changed "linode" to "aws" in your link, very interesting results came up in Google.

Notable is the lack of any mentions of actual instances of AWS getting hacked.
