Or change automatically the referrer to "http://www.google.com" http://www.google.com" for wsj.com with your favourite extension (I personally use "RefControl" for firefox).

For some reason even that link doesn't work, I have to manually google "Why GM Hired 8,000 Programmers" and then it's fine > https://www.google.com/search?q=Why+GM+Hired+8%2C000+Programmers&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 https://www.google.com/search?q=Why+GM+Hired+8%2C000+Program...

  As mentioned by many others, please copy and paste the link into google. The first link that appears will work. It would be helpful whoever posts to HN to not use paywalled links so this discussion isn't brought up every time.

    Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Have you ever tried posting a redirect for a story? Then another user posts the direct paywall link, which promptly rises to the front page while your submission gets buried. This is an issue that needs a solution.

    Yes, your parent link doesn't work, however the copy and paste the link into Google technique does. Refreshing the page activates the paywall.

    What is with this? I thought Google announced in the past that sites serving different content to its crawlers than real members would have those results removed from their index. Is this some ridiculous loophole whereby it's ok if the link works with a google referrer but not directly? So stupid. If the link is not truly open, it should not appear in search results, simple as that.

  Does this link work for anyone else? http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCMQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wsj.com%2Farticles%2Fgm-built-internal-skills-to-manage-internet-sales-push-1424200731&ei=KQjlVM_lMMW57gaMhID4CQ&usg=AFQjCNFsgf0pP-5TtbUD4wIHhJoHt9fbfQ&sig2=MDdczSgAHx-HUwTU1B-YAQ http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&...

  You can always just search for the title in Google to get ungated WSJ articles.
