- CharlesDodgson 10y agooh, do I have to post with the exact title?
- grzm 10y agoIt's preferred, though there are exceptions. Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or link bait. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- CharlesDodgson 10y agothanks, i'm new here :)
- sctb 10y agoNo problem, and welcome! We've updated the title from “Collusion among machines”.
- brudgers 10y agoUsing the original title can be a way to avoid accidental editorializing (While overall, the guideline discourages intentional editorialization, not that I'm saying that is the case here).
- jimktrains2 10y agoI'm greeted with a subscription page and no article.
- popobobo 10y agoSame here. Sometimes i think this might have been a click bait for marketing purpose.

- jbpetersen 10y agoThank you
- chinathrow 10y agoUse the 'web' link on top of this page.
- downandout 10y agoWe aren't supposed to post stuff on HN that has paywalls you can't get past. Clicking from Google doesn't do anything for this one.
- CharlesDodgson 10y agoHow Strange, it wasn't paywalled last week and suddenly it is! Probably FT's way to get people suckered in.
- grzm 10y agoThe "web" link works for me.
- downandout 10y agoI've tried it on 3 different browsers, doesn't work for me on any of them.
- maccard 10y agoDownvotes for offtopic. Where on the guidelines does it say this? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- downandout 10y agoYour downvote is misplaced, as there is no topic because nobody can see the damned article. The only topic that can be discussed is, in fact, the paywall. Dang has specified that paywalls with workarounds are OK [1]. This implies that those without workarounds are not.

- maccard 10y agoThe title of that post is that paywall complaints are offtopic.

- egberts1 10y agoPaywalled.
- slededit 10y agoThe article brings up an interesting point. While normally collusion is a direct crime - I call up my competitor and we make a deal. Algorithms allow a more nuanced form: Create a set of rules that in practice enforce a cartel. This subtle change makes proving intent much more difficult. Is it just that these things are so complex we didn't see that interaction? Or was it on purpose.
