Wonderful website design. There's a giant overlay preventing me from reading the article that redirects me to the main page when I click the close button.
Hear hear. Also, with javascript disabled, I am presented with a blank white page. The content of the articles may be interesting, but everything else about FT's site is trash.
That overlays is probably part of the FT's paywall, and their paywall is quite strict. I'd say FT links aren't ideal for HN, since many (most?) HN readers are unlikely to have FT subscriptions. (They do allow ~10 articles a month if you register). Another workaround is to click through a Google News link, especially in Incognito Mode.
Is there a better source for this?
