Paywall bypass: https://archive.is/N7nOK

(Posting a link to a wikipedia article about a browser extension to bypass paywalls doesn't help people using an app.)

Head of Nvidia security: "Put on this flannel jacket."

I hear there's a cure, but you need the right insurance plan.

shifted billions of dollars into financial vehicles in order to avoid the federal estate tax, according to a Times analysis of securities disclosures.

Riveting stuff. And this seems to be the only answer to the question unless the article is mysteriously cut off. I guess that's what passes for an article at the times.

The article goes into much more depth... behind the paywall, which is why OP linked to the Wikipedia article on Bypass Paywalls Clean.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well that's some redemption.

Seems the ublock custom filter with the list from bypass paywalls clean needs an update.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Well, that's easy. Be rich, make the rules.

Not a news site, not the article, and it's inviting you to download code from a Russian site. What could possibly go wrong?

BPC has been forced to host there due to "the rich MUST GET RICHER" policies that drive the US legal system. I've been using it just fine, but if it helps you feel safer, then install one of the several Firefox or Chrome clones out there that let you install extensions, and only use it in that one.

Seems someone is trying to take down the Wikipedia page linked - just so happens to have occurred today. Hmmmm... You can look at the revision history still, but here's the direct link to BPC - currently forced to host on a Russian GitHub clone.

Looks like someone needs to give this fellow a bunny too, eh?

The Secret IRS Files from ProPublica does an amazing job at outlining why this is

Rich as fuck, doesn’t have to pay.. or at least can avoid it without prison. Yet we all have to pay to read about the fucking news regarding it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

The best part is is probably amassed his wealth by blatantly stealing it from the public or as the rich like to call it, working the system to negotiate favourable terms from the government

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Considering who's going to be running the federal government next month I think tax dodging should be encouraged. There's no way this dude is going to do more damage with that money than the feds would.

GPU ovens are expensive, so I can understand his motivation…
