Totally agree. I opened a couple of links from HN in tabs, read a few, so when I actually opened this one I didn't remember what is that all about and actually couldn't read the title on the page. So when I managed to see through my bleeding eyes that it is something design-related I was simply… amazed.
The black text on white background look amazing on that site though, I wonder how they did that.
Do you mean the main body text? Maybe these details will help if you like it:
The typeface appears to be Ideal Sans from Hoefler & Co, served via their Cloud.Typography webfont service.
I'm seeing hyphenation due to -moz-hyphen:auto in the CSS as well.
It doesn't look that good to me on this system, and personally I wouldn't go anywhere near Hoefler & Co without a small army of lawyers on retainer at this point, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

I refuse to take seriously a typography site that looks that awful. Go take a look. Wince.

To some degree I agree. The black text on white background look amazing on that site though, I wonder how they did that.

Thank you, you have been very helpful!
The white on red is actually painful.
