>The paragraph font size is sixteen pixels, by the way, which is pretty standard and happens to be four pixels more than this site, which I assume you can read just fine. Your font size is smaller than HN's on my laptop. HN's font-size isn't defined in pixels, it's 10pt [9pt in places] which is rendering at 18px on my laptop. Even that's a wee bit smaller than I'd like. And on my 7" tablet I have to zoom the text on HN too, as it's unreadably small. In these days of mobile devices and so-called 'retina' displays, it's not a good idea to define font sizes in pixels or points. Much better to use EM and REM
