Sorry, for those not familiar with reddit, it's a site for recommending
and commenting on online articles. What I linked to was the reddit
discussion of the article. At the top of the page was a link to the
article itself. You have to click through that link.

I linked to the reddit discussion so that folks had the option to vote
on the article to promote (or demote) it as they saw fit. Highly voted
articles get more eyeballs.
