A note -- if you're linking to arXiv, it's better to link to the abstract (https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.00050) rather than directly to the PDF. From the abstract, one can easily click through to the PDF; not so the reverse. And the abstract allows one to do things like see different versions of the paper, search for other things by the same authors, etc. Thank you!


> not so the reverse

That big grey text on the right of each arxiv paper is actually a link you can click form the pdf. Took make like N->\inf years to figure that out...

I used to complain about how heavy pdf docs are and therefore preferred websites that contained some metadata with a link to actual content, but websites these days... and at least the .pdf honestly downloads on anroid/iPhone, which are the only two platforms where I honestly care about bandwidth (and even then...)
