The way your website handles font-size and zoom is really weird.

I feel like there should be a named law of hacker news for this. There's sometimes more discussion about how the page doesn't work without javascript, font colors are bad, page is slow, whatever, than about the content of the article. Although in this case most people are talking about the article.

Agreed though, there's some weird responsive CSS going on here that makes it impossible to resize fonts on a desktop.

I echo both observations and urge you to name that law.

Will look under the hood at the CSS.

Thanks for looking. I use the "zoom" feature of Chrome to make fonts more readable. The CSS on this page does not permit resizing of the type - a major faux pas for accessibility.

This is a fascinating article, and is even better with the conversation here added. Thanks for your efforts.
