I debated if I should post it after failing to get a non-pay-walled link to the original post on Financial Times. I figured that since they quote him and are clear they are interpreting then it is okay. By the way, why do I get less than half the karma points my contributions get? I am a long time quality contributor. Why am I getting penalized?

It's true that FT's paywall prevents its articles from being accessible here, which is bad and contradicts what https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html says. In practice, though, people usually post workarounds in the threads. Not all votes on submissions count towards karma because of HN's anti-gaming software, which has measures to prevent karma-building rings and whatnot. You're not treated differently from any other user.
