...seriously?? Normal slide decks are annoying enough, but one that doesn't have the fade ins/outs stripped and progressively adds things instead of showing the whole screen (er, slide) at once? WTF happened to usability? Slides are meant to support a talk. Putting everything on the slides, while it does let you just read from them, gives a bad UX for the talk attendees. Posting proper (ie, supporting) slides -- like these appear to be -- online, gives a bad UX for the online readers. Leaving in transitions and progressiveness just makes it that much worse. So what's up with places line HN posting links to online slide decks? They're a seriously lousy way to communicate. Put some thought into what's appropriate for the audience -- not just who sees it, but also how they get it.
