Hacker News Reader

I'm not able to read this without signing up. I suggest a [restricted access] in the title of such articles like [video].

Poster here -- good suggestion; I just added "($)" to the title.

EDIT: Looks like it got deleted.

I don't know why posters can even change the title if we aren't allowed to.

It's helpful for fixing typos. Think of it as a tool that the site provides to help you make sure the "correct" titles are on news stories, and not as a feature the site provides to allow you to better express your opinions.

A way to bypass is to search Google for that title and click on the WSJ link from the results. It seems the WSJ looks at the referrer and allows search engine sources.

Or go to http://www.google.com and type into address bar:

javascript:window.location="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230346500...

:-)

One step further is to define a new keyword search type in your browser to perform this redirect for any provided url in the future.

Or just don't bother.

I was going to say the same thing. Similarly, you can get around the NYT 10 articles per month simply by opening the link in an incognito/private browsing mode window.

I had mixed luck with that, sometime it works but sometime it picks it up and gives me the past the limit message
