- ColinWright 9y agoFrom: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html * Are paywalls ok? It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic. Also, from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Please don't submit comments complaining that a submission is inappropriate ... If you think a story is spam or off-topic, flag it by clicking on its 'flag' link. ... If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.
