From a comment by peterjmag near the bottom: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8379877 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8379877 The direct link is https://plus.google.com/101584889282878921052/posts/7enyPxZW3RB https://plus.google.com/101584889282878921052/posts/7enyPxZW... I don't have G+, so I'm guessing. IIUC the submitted link goes to a slideshow over a unrelated G+ post. Maybe C.W. saw the thumbnail of the slideshow from the other post, clicked "see/expand" and got the slideshow in the overlay. The unrelated post with the blue dome is 7u73y5FzEZY The actual post with the 163 equations is 7enyPxZW3RB So if we change the URL to this, we can get the best link: https://plus.google.com/101584889282878921052/posts/7enyPxZW3RB?pid=5963315119367216690&oid=101584889282878921052 https://plus.google.com/101584889282878921052/posts/7enyPxZW...

I saw the same blue tile post on my phone. I think some wires got crossed somewhere. The link gets redirected correctly on my desktop, but google says it encountered an error.

  Thanks. A comment below about the problem with closing a photo and directed back to hn also directs correctly. A post technically explaining what is happening would be worth my upvote.

Link is just broken on mobile. I was also very, very confused

  > Link is just broken on mobile. It's an example of narrowcasting -- it requires very specific browser features to function as intended. And even with such a browser, IMHO it's not the most efficient way to present its content. Whatever happened to old-fashioned static HTML?
