Correction: Hey everybody! Jay from The Information here. We are testing out unlocking articles for HN readers as we are big fans. Here's this article unlocked! https://www.theinformation.com/articles/hit-by-big-loss-bird-seeks-300m-in-new-funds?pu=hackernews38uvpt&utm_source=hackernews&utm_medium=unlock&utm_content=bird-big-loss https://www.theinformation.com/articles/hit-by-big-loss-bird...
- minimaxir 7y agoYou may want to add to your HN profile that you're a writer for The Information; when I saw that link yesterday I thought it was spam.
- ballmers_peak 7y agoGood call. Just updated.
- zmanian 7y agoSeems like that is a link to a Tesla article?
- melvinmt 7y agoThis is the right link I guess: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20412622 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20412622
- sambroner 7y agoThanks Jay. If you could change or respond with a direct link (that link points to an Elon Musk article)
- YeahSureWhyNot 7y agothe article in link is about elon musk not bird scooters
- jeremyjh 7y agoThis link takes us to a Tesla article.
- unreal37 7y ago#fail It's nice that sites out there are thinking "we should do something nice for Hacker News as a way to build buzz." But kinda defeats the purpose when they didn't actually do what they said they did.
- dang 7y agoAw, that's not nice. It was obviously just a slip and they corrected it. I'm sure you were just briefly frustrated about not being able to read the article, but still. Would you mind reviewing the site guidelines? Note that they include "Be kind." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- croisillon 7y agoexcuse me but why does the free article ends at "costs:" and omits the last third of the original one?
- ballmers_peak 7y agoThanks for flagging. Small bug that we fixed. Try again. My apologies.
