I don't remember ever seeing anyone ask to avoid posting LWN subscriber links to HN. Actually, a few months ago Jonathan Corbet stated the following on this site: "It's nice to see LWN on HN for the second time in one day, but please remember: it is only LWN subscribers that make this kind of writing possible. If you are enjoying it, please consider becoming a subscriber yourself — or, even better, getting your employer to subscribe."[0] It sounds like Mr. Corbet is fine with the occasional link as long as people keep LWN's business model and financial needs in mind. LWN is an excellent resource, I highly recommend subscribing. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31851755#31852477 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31851755#31852477
