Just opening the page I got assaulted by a shitletter popup and notifications permissions popup.

Didn’t expect the Smithsonian to fall so low.


Agreed. I'll accept one inconvenience when going to a page, but I don't think pages that throw up both a modal popup and a push notification dialog deserve to make HN front page.


Going to reader view is instinct now.


The funny thing for me is that I met for first time this scalators on last month


Off topic, but why are the headline fonts squeezed together in Chrome (but not in Firefox)?

Edit: it seems to be a bug in Chrome 76+. Reported to https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/issues/16
