I'm sorry, but is this what passes for academic typesetting nowadays? I felt as if I were sitting in some farcical business presentation as my eyes scanned this typographical travesty! This thing is an affront to the eyes as much as to the mind, utter tripe. Don't the mods have any taste? Hacker News is truly in the pits now.

Really? The typesetting is the only problem you noticed with it? Did you notice any typos?
