That's easily circumvented with management service organizations. More broadly, it's a stupid idea, especially beyond a few areas like law. If you own a golf course, you shouldn't have to sell only to a golfer.
There seems to be a mass downvoting scheme on HN lately. I don't know who's behind it and what their motives are but I constantly see valid comments made within the last five minutes greyed out.
I made this post and it died on its arse initially, didn't even get an upvote. The second chance pool meant that it turned into a useful discussion about a pretty niche element of frontend development.
Not sure why you say this. I've been using Brave for years, and after spending like 20 seconds to turn off the 'show on new tab' things, I get a blank page ( well, with a random photo background ) when I open a new tab.
being an argument in favor of Firefox. I have to use Firefox every once in a while and I'm always surprised to see the garbage they peddle on the start page. I know I can turn it off but I never use it enough to bother.
Because paywalls are trivial to bypass and it's exhausting hearing people constantly complain about them. The GP in this thread has been on HN for 10 years. They should know how to bypass it by now. Hell, four minutes after they posted someone posted the bypassed link.
> In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic.
Interesting. At the time, the vote count was notably low given the post age, and there were no comments IIRC. So my thought was, to avoid the poster thinking "well that didn't work - I guess HN didn't like this - doesn't want future similar posts from me", by noting an engagement funnel bounce step they may not have been aware of. Given that paywalls are often probabalistic UX. Sort of using an empty comment thread as TFA poster DM channel?
Hmm. So, maybe, if my comment had noted the age/vote pair, and was clearer about the motivation for mentioning the paywall, that would have been less likely to create a meta discussion? And perhaps been consistent with the "don't post complaints about paywalls" policy?

Read it later. If you can't read it at work, you can read it on your phone or after work from another computer.
Also, the guidelines and FAQ are both easy to read, and shouldn't be blocked by any CMMC nonsense at your office if HN itself isn't blocked. This one is a useful guideline for people like you, whose shouting makes you seem like a crazy uncle sending emails from your AOL account:
> Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. Instead, put *asterisks* around it and it will get italicized.
"Read it later. If you can't read it at work, you can read it on your phone or after work from another computer."
Negative, as I have ZERO TIME when working with things involving security.
"Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. Instead, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized."
Yea, no. See your asterisks didn't italicize. I'm looking at your comment right now, with screencap in clipboard buffer if you need a pasted proof of this formatting not working - https://imgur.com/a/7TzQOKw - No italics there. Unless the > at the beginning indicates (stupidly) to ignore formatting rules placed after it, your comment has zero formatting outside of regular spacing.
But you see, I was already aware that function didn't work reliably. Which is why I will continue to use caps for emphasis as it's guaranteed to work.
