It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds.
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.
It’s getting where I can only read about half the articles posted to HN. Do we have a large user base of people that pay for NY Times, Bloomberg, etc.? Or just a bunch of people that use workarounds?
> * After many restaurant jobs through the 1980s and 1990s, Mr. Holys says his undoing came with an addiction to crack cocaine. He stole to fuel his habit and spent a total of eight years in prison.*
This sounds like maybe one of the least surprising paths to homeless I’ve ever heard. Why devote a full story to it?
Would a restaurant trust somebody with a past criminal history of drug abuse and theft around $1000 bottles of wine? Does his skill set have any marketable value outside of the extremely niche market of a few major cities?
Ithink this deserves some kind of clickbait award. The title suggests the existence of an interesting story but the answer is the most cliche answer you could possibly imagine.

Or, better, require use of non-paywall links or to include the workaround.
