Did I miss something? The attribution is google.com, but the link redirects to wsj.com, circumventing the paywall and saving me a few seconds.

My powers of perception aren't all they used to be, so maybe it's always worked like this, but if HN has automated paywall avoidance, you have my gratitude!

Sadly not, I used the link to save readers the hassle. But that's a good idea!!
