I'm happy to see that the article doesn't have any BS that I have to ignore. It's a simple page that only tells the 'required' story. As a reader, I want more people to cut the crap about 'blah blah blah' and get to the subject.
That being said, I've often thought Hacker News should have a nice crowd sourced tldr summary at the top of all the comments.
For what it's worth, I thought the "I was in a hotel..." story was superfluous and probably not true.
