Please do not put paywalled links as direct targets.
- dang 7y agoThe Information regularly unlocks articles for HN readers. I asked them to unlock this one and they agreed and sent a special URL, so it should be working for anyone who clicks on the link. Is that not the case? Paywalled links in general are ok if there's a workaround. Users usually post workarounds in the threads. This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10178989 https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=by:dang%20paywall https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... theinformation.com normally has a hard wall, which normally makes the submissions off topic here. But if they unlock it for HN readers, that's welcome!
