alt Hacker News条 is the appropriate measure word for pants; they're plural in English, but uncountable (like other nouns) in Chinese.
You could translate it as "a pair of pants", and that's the appropriate way to put it in English, but really it says "one pants".

I guess the measure word works equivalently to a unit of measurement, then. One bottle of beer, one sack of sugar, one 条 of pant.
