2. Paste the URL

Easier workaround:
1. Click web under the title on the HN page.
2. Click the first Google result.

#5Coats are somehow relevant to computing, but the political implications of computing aren't?
What is this doing on Hacker News?

HN isn't just about "computing".
This article is a very good example of how even big companies that are dealing with physical products can go from idea to production in a small amount of time.

It's about time to market and processes allowing for quick iteration. Items of great relevance to any startup.

Big companies are diametrically opposed to the practice of hacking. Hacking consists of making computers and other more-or-less formal systems (sometimes—as a joke or in security—ones which include the responses of human operators) perform unexpected tricks. The status quo is established by the actions of large-scale corporate and political actors, among them the computing industry.
It's important for hackers to be aware of the actions of corporations and governments because they will have effects on us and we can exert some influence on them in return, but I don't see how this logic applies here.
"[Going] from idea to production" is such a vague concept that I find it hard to pick a sphere of human activity to which it can't be applied. It certainly doesn't explain why this article is appropriate for discussion in a niche which actively brands itself as catering to hackers.

Hmm.
I think if you try posit a canonical definition of the word 'Hacking' here, you're going to have a bad time. The community decides the relevance by voting.

Then isn't it important for people to learn about the status quo? Especially given it's moving so fast. Without this article I would have probably considered a startup doing the same to be cutting-edge, disruptive and most definitely 'hacking'. Now we all know where the bar is set.
