Keep trying, folks. This one is worth it.

EDIT:

> Note that this is a long article (~3 hour read). If you just want the executive summary of what happened, I might suggest skipping forward to chapter 7 first and then if you want more, go back and read the in-depth analysis of earlier chapters. [HN user kraussvonespy 2 days ago]

- Which doesn't mention that the first 6 para's of Chapter 7 are an excellent tl;dr; of the previous 6 chapters. And definitely understates both the detail and quality of the balance of Chapter 7 (the minute-by-minute details leading up to the crash).

I tried to read it. Section list isn’t links. Tried to scroll, got a full screen dickbox. Gave up.

If you want to write for email, just write for email and don’t put it on the web. If you wanna put it on the web, use web features.

And either way, don’t put full screen stuff in my face when I’m trying to read.

I gave up. I’ll wait for a summary from another website that treats users better.
