I'm not even old (mid-20s), but I scale the site to 150%. HN is honestly one of the worst sites I have used with regards to default scaling across resolutions.
OTOH the simplicity of the site allows for very easy browser-based scaling, which means I only really think about how bad the text size is once per machine.
