If you post a link to a pay walled article people will comment based on what they think the article is about rather than read it. You flagged my previous comment and it was deleted, but this post will not lead to a good discussion if we cannot actually read the argument that is being put forth.
- mikeash 7y agoLike it or not, paywalls are allowed here, and comments complaining about them are not.
- patientplatypus 7y agoAh, that is truly unfortunate.
- majormajor 7y agoI imagine people who can read the paywalled article (I cannot, for this particular one) have an interest in sharing and seeing the article regardless of the quality of the discussion in the comments here.
- azernik 7y agoIt's not paywalled, it's login-walled; make an account, and you get some free articles per month. Not great, but workable.

Speaking of which, would you mind reading them and following them when posting here? You've been breaking them a lot, unfortunately, that we eventually ban accounts that do that. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
