The direct link to the actual paper is certainly very useful and much appreciated. I think yshklarov's point is just (1) it won't be accessible or interesting to the vast majority of HN readers (including me) without significant background info and (2) Quanta does a shockingly good job at this background (but is not intended to replace the paper itself).
