I just get a login screen.
+ Newspapers require me to register and login - I go somewhere else.
+ Commercial sites require me to register and login - I go somewhere else.
+ Google requires me to register and login, guess what happens.
I can't be bothered. I've got stuff to write, products to ship, and a life to live. It's just another article. I've saved time by not reading it, and the chances it was useful are small. Besides, skimming the comments has given me enough of the flavor that I don't really think I'm missing much that I didn't get from the comments themselves.
Score another one for the HN community. Thank you.
