I got sent it to me by the author of the article with the explicit request not to do that. I tried to check whether I could access it through any of my usual methods (disabling javascript, looking in the internet archive, using various extensions etc.), but realized I couldn’t.
I thought about not adding it to the newsletter at all, but realized that in this case, I actually respect their monetization model, and I liked the piece. In particular, this piece doesn’t seem particularly clickbaity, a la SSC’s Problems With Paywalls; instead it’s a pretty good and lengthy feature article which took someone maybe a week (?) to write (the pdf version of the article is 16 pages). In contrast, other non-paywalled news media (I’m thinking of Forbes here) sometimes/usually cover forecasting questions so, so terribly.
So that’s my starting point. If you or other readers prefer not to see this kind of thing, I’m all ears.

Makes sense! Thanks for the explanation.
