It's Computer Modern, from LaTeX. He mentions it in the article. The css trick mentioned in the other comment doesn't work for fonts in images.

No thanks

New comment by ilconsigliere in "Ask HN: How Many of Prefer Social Media Sign Up Over Regular Sign Up?"

ilconsigliere — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 22:32:48 +0000

I'll go to great lengths to avoid social sign ups. I want nothing linked to those accounts. It mostly comes from distrust of app behavior. I don't want any app blasting anything to my entire contact lists. This might be an irrational concern but its real. I'll use Google account to sign up for any service BC I know Google won't let an app run wild w my contacts. Other services I am not so confident

New comment by ilconsigliere in "What Readers Found in Facebook’s ‘Other’ Folder"

ilconsigliere — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 18:18:42 +0000

From the article:

"Several readers wanted to know how they could access the Other folder on their phones or tablets.

The answer: you can’t. The Facebook apps don’t permit you to see the Other folder. (You can, of course, go to www.facebook.com in your phone or tablet’s Web browser — don’t use the app — to work on the Other folder there.)"

You can on Android: hit the gear symbol next to the 'Messages' menu option in the Facebook app menu
