This statement "This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system" will sound like an doomsday event to an average reader, in reality there nothing that would affect you.

At least they almost immediately mention that it is a common event.

Just to be safe I upgraded my tinfoil hat to Mylar.

No good. You need to line your walls with at least 2mm thick aluminum sheets with welded seams and 5cm overlap at the doors.

Edit: I guess it's true, HN is forever meant to be devoid of humor.

Personally I prefer a humorless HN. A culture of humur on the internet devolves fairly quickly into 4chan themed cat pictures and nothing but funny pics.
