Agreed. I'm on an Apple Thunderbolt Display (2560x1440) and I'm also scaled up to 150%.

I'm not asking for some major, crazy redesign. 16px is the browser default and most websites aren't using tiny, small font sizes like 12px any longer.

The only reason HN is using it is because `pg` made it that in 2006, at a time when it was normal and made sense.

Yup, and these days we have relative units in CSS such that we no longer need to hardcode pixels, so everyone wins (em, rem). That way people can get usability according to the browsers defaults, which make the whole thing user configurable.
