This is interesting, but can we avoid posting links to articles behind paywalls? Here's one on the subject that isn't: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/natio

  Just click the "web" link then click the WSJ link. If you have no cookies from them, it gets you around the paywall most of the time.

  FWIW, complaints about paywalls are generally off-topic, though I agree, a non-paywalled source can be useful. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

    I think courtesy should dictate that paywalled articles be accompanied by at least a brief description. Perhaps a change to the FAQ to recommend such?

  It's helpful to post better URLs, and we've changed the submission to that one from https://www.wsj.com/articles/arizona-governor-suspends-ubers-self-driving-cars-from-roads-1522113198 https://www.wsj.com/articles/arizona-governor-suspends-ubers.... Thanks! Please don't post complaints about paywalls, though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989. They're off-topic, and as long as standard workarounds exist (which users routinely post to these threads), paywalled articles are ok. Not that they aren't annoying; they suck. But HN would be quite a bit worse if all such articles were cleared out of here.
