If you try scrolling down, you'll note you can actually read the article. LWN lets subscribers share (temporary) paywalled articles with anyone they like, even on public forums like HN. They are nice like that.
- fidget 11y agoOh, I'm aware I can read it. I'm just not convinced about sharing it on such a broad public forum.
- lultimouomo 11y agoSorry, I misunderstood what you meant. Links to LWN subscriber content appear on HN from time to time - not too often, and I would guess they do more good than harm to them.
- markrages 11y agoOften such links are posted by LWN staff, so I believe they favor the practice.

Private mail, messages to project mailing lists, and blog entries are all appropriate. As long as people do not use subscriber links as a way to defeat our attempts to gain subscribers, we are happy to see them shared.
