I don't think at the level of the article that it's inappropriate to assume that the reader is at least familiar with the term "hashing", and can wait on the technical details of the particular types of hashing functions needed for bloom filters until the second or third section. I honestly just closed the article when he started in on hashing, because I want to know about bloom filters (which I don't know about), not the basics of hashing (which I learned as an undergrad, and need to know day-to-day as a working programmer).
