I don't understand why people link to raw slides. Are we meant to waste our time trying to read meaning from them like tea leaves?

Surely there is something to go with this slideshow?

I don't know...these slides seem to make sense and only took a minute to go through them. But I understand your complaint in general, because there's some slides that don't make sense out of context of the speaker's presentation.
You can open speaker notes by clicking on the cog at the bottom. Some slides are nicely annotated.

(I won't go into the annoyance of having my focus split between the slide and the separate notes.)

I would usually agree with you, but these slides provide some good context.
I'm guessing someone at Google marketing posted this. Slides are useless without the actual presentation that goes along with it.
Yeah but I don't like watching actual presentation videos, because then there is audio and they move at their own pace. I'd love to see more slides + detailed notes though.
