This doesn't excuse the awful user experience. Instead of a terse message there should be a reasonable message with a link to refresh.

Agree! HN embodies the startup culture. Unfortunately, the user experience here is of an abandoned startup web site.

There is little excuse for such a poor user experience here. At least give me a link back to the home page and don't be so cryptic with the message...

It's inexcusable to use a technical implementation decision to justify a poor user experience. That's what the HN response is every time.
