Guys who are upvoting, could you please explain to the rest of us what we're supposed to be experiencing here?

I click on the link, I get a slide-deck. No text, no audio, just a bunch of slides with various numbers on them.

Am I missing something? Is this something where a bunch of people saw the presentation live and are now upvoting it here? If so, is there a video link to the live presentation?

Posted about ten minutes before you.

Yep, just a slide deck. But it's a very good slide deck presenting something interesting and worth thinking about - that the specificity of css has some fundamental issues, and that we currently work around them in a destined-to-break-and-be-broken manner by moving towards inline CSS declarations and !important.

It would be better as a web page, but the content is still worthwhile.
