I don’t believe it’s kosher to provide a subscriber link to everyone on HN. I believe it is intended to be used to communicate with a few colleagues, not to be posted on a news aggregator site. Per LWN.net: “The "subscriber link" mechanism allows an LWN.net subscriber to generate a special URL for a subscription-only article. That URL can then be given to others, who will be able to access the article regardless of whether they are subscribed. This feature is made available as a service to LWN subscribers, and in the hope that they will use it to spread the word about their favorite LWN articles. If this feature is abused, it will hurt LWN's subscription revenues and defeat the whole point. Subscriber links may go away if that comes about.”
