I thought Dark Waters was good but the nytimes article it is based on is even better https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

If you're concerned about goretex and dwrs, everything made by Nikwax uses different technology and is PFA free. Goretex might be safe for end user (or might not) but the manufacturing process is probably environmentally risky ... I wouldn't buy goretex for non-critical uses. So use it for mountaineering but not in the ski resort or on the way to work

Mods: Would be bee’s knees if HN code rewrote AMP links to direct URL on commit, comments and submissions.

As a counterpoint, I prefer the AMP links

Considering the permanence and longevity of comments and submissions, I propose that direct canonical URLs are preferable to something Google will eventually sunset. Apologies if this slightly degrades the near term browsing experience.
