Due to popular request, I've added a link to the full pdf near the bottom of the page.

This says absolutely nothing. why would I give you my email address when there's no content. If you want to write something do so, as a regular blog, but this whole newsletter nonsense and total lack of content seems like a fishy way to harvest hn community emails to me.

Why is this a newsletter instead of just a series of articles online?

I may post stuff online too, I'm not sure yet. This is a way to get notified about new stuff.

Just post subsequent parts online and submit to HN. They'll get voted up just like this one and that's how the rest of us will be notified.

Nice post btw.

I very much appreciate the effort. However, I'm a little confused about the subscription. Why this outdated model?

The sample content is very high level. Will the newsletter be more technical?

Very interesting article..
