Obviously, with the importance of the mortality issues of this study, it is not comparable in terms of importance, but NY times promoting/warning me that I only have 10 free articles left is a little ironic.
- downandout 12y agoThis was my exact thought. In fact before reading the article I actually thought that this was just an article about Ebola that an HN admin had retitled after being annoyed by the NYT paywall.
- mathattack 12y agoThe NYT paywall is easy to get around. (Copy/paste the title and search for it in Google) Of course that's the irony mentioned, since the article in question was paywalled.

- whoisthemachine 12y agoThat's kind of beside the point. You should carefully consider the potential negative impacts of your own paywall (reduction in useful ideas that others could benefit from, such as ideas on liberty and government) before writing critical articles of others' paywalls.
