alt Hacker NewsI know this is besides the article and all, but why would the Chilean flag be the only one to have 8px left margin? This is killing me...
<div style="margin-left: 8px" title="Chile" class="sprites-flag_cl"></div>Replies

The flags have also all (except for Finland, which appears slightly wider?) been squeezed into a uniform 3:2 aspect ratio; some of them (e.g. Belgium, Switzerland, United Kingdom) properly ought to have different proportions. I understand they can look more aesthetically pleasing when they’re all the same size, but it’s another little detail to notice. :-)

Now I can't unsee it :/
I believe such organisations tend to do such things very intentionally :-)

So Chile has a distinct status, hence the margin...?
