There are quite a few decent mobile apps for reading HN. I use HN reader on Android, which has a few problems, but I actually like better than the website in some ways. For example, I can collapse comment trees.

This is exactly the problem. As ck2 seems to be suggesting, laws should be passed which make it illegal. At least, that is how I interpreted her critiques of "executive changes"
