If you are going to submit your thesis to HN as a story, you should be obligated to post a summary of it in a comment.
But people are really desperate to get others to read their thesis, and perhaps they thought they had done enough writing about it. I remember in grad school a friend I used to discuss some algorithms with finally submitted their thesis and gave it to me to read, which of course I didn't. Later on, I found out they put a foot/endnote it in offering me $100 as a check to see if I read it. It's hard, to work so many years on something, and then not have it read.
I am not the author of the thesis and I found your post absurd and offensive.
Given the author's CV, he obviously has far better use of his time than visiting HN, much less submitting his thesis for a scant few eyeballs.
As to the thesis, the MIT page has an informative synopsis. The thesis has received distinguished citation from both MIT and ACM, and the subject matter is entirely relevant to interests of a subset of HN readers, which clearly does not include yourself.
