Which patent officer reviewed and granted this?
[ Parent

None.
The application was rejected by the USPTO. And the applicant Abandoned the application. It will never become a patent.
This is a non-story. The application was filed by someone who willingly spent their money. The USPTO rejected it. And now its on the front of Hackernews.
Why are you interpreting this post as an attempt at news? It's almost-certainly an attempt at ridicule.

It was never granted, it's "Abandoned" (as of today!).
Great example of why Occam's Razor is so important. The poor guy probably was day dreaming or for some reason blacked out for a few minutes, but wow. This thing is quite the read.
If that application was any more hand-wavy, the author could take off and fly to their destination with all the flapping.
There's a sidebar (on desktop version) that has a timeline of events including when the inventor abandoned the idea
Luis A. Hecht Rosas reviewed it, but did not grant it. It was abandoned.
It says this is an application for a patent.
No patent was ever granted.
The one who was in a rush to clear out their backlog of applications and go home on Friday.
