Um, downvotes? Are you saying that that link is not to the full contents of the article? Or are you saying that you think it is bad to give people access to data? Or are you saying that one should not circumvent the paywall of the WSJ because it is stealing?
- zaroth 6y agoI find the best place for the archive.is link is at the very bottom of the comments. Easier to find that way.
- wgjordan 6y agoThanks for the link. For the downvoters, note that HN allows posts to paywalled articles only if they have a workaround, and users usually post workarounds in the comment thread.

- freefaler 6y agothanks for the link da39a3ee, it's appreciated.
- sergiomattei 6y agoThanks for the link! Much appreciated.
- tomhoward 6y agoWhat you did is fine and recommended by dang. Downvotes may be from people not knowing about HN's convention on this, but you're in the right.
