What is the point of posting a link to HN that nobody can read ?

  They may not have realized that no one can read it. ScienceDirect silently lets you past the paywall if you arrive from Google Scholar. I imagine that HN strips query parameters, and even if it doesn't, the token is only usable by one person. You can access the full HTML by clicking the link here: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C45&q=Sex+differences+in+friendship+preferences+Keelah+E.G.Williams+Ashley+M.Rankin&btnG= https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C45&q=Sex... Edit: this only works if you're logged in to a Google account.

    This does not work here (Europe).

      That may be. I also just learned that you need to be logged into a Google account. It's not a great solution anyway, a far cry from open access. But I feel like any hole in a research paywall should be public knowledge, however small and clunky it maybe.

    This isn't working in the US. I'm logged into Google.

  That’s exactly the fun of HN.
