For true pay-wall articles it would be a problem but here you can just search for the article's title on Google and see it for free

  No, you can't. I opened up Google News and did a search for the article title in an incognito window and still couldn't view the article. Maybe it worked for you, but it's a lot higher paywall than the ones at NYT. HN can't continue to publish stories that people can't read. Edit: That was using Firefox's incognito mode; in Chrome incognito it worked. I can't imagine how that could possibly be true. Maybe it's because the first time I clicked on the wsj link in FF I wasn't incognito and the WSJ recorded my IP/UA? In any case, no, it's not an easily solved paywall.

    Part of the problem is that we get inconsistent reports from readers about what articles do and don't have workarounds. I just did what you described (from SF) and it worked.

    This is strange, I opened it from Firefox, but without bothering going into incognito mode. I tried multiple times from the direct link I had the paywall, from Google's search everything was fine. If it can help anyone access the article, I use the Disconnect, Adblock plus, and self destructing cookies add-ons.
