I am really sorry to see New Scientist behind a paywall. There is little point in posting articles that are behind paywalls on a site like HN.

- ca98am79 17y agosorry, the full article is coming up for me and I'm not a subscriber
- russell 17y agoTry reading more articles. Eventually you will get the request for registration.
- tpyo 17y agoCouldn't you just press the Close button?
- yannis 17y agoNS will only let you read 3 articles - then it will ask you to register and you will be able to read another 7 in one month and then you need to PAY, since I normally buy the dead tree version this is just harassment!
- des 17y agoIt's a pretty weak paywall: Disable javascript, the article displays fine. (Aside: Won't that approach - 'hiding' content from visitors - get them penalized by Google?)
