honestly the more HN comment is somebody complaining that it does redirect http to https because <long rant about certificate issuers> and then somebody brings up lets encrypt and then it degrades into a big argument until eventually somebody brings up SWJs at which point that person lost the argument.
Maybe the second most HN comment is running argument simulations? This one is even complete with a base case (SJWs) that is self-ending because you yourself brought it up. Saved us the trouble.
