I'm certain we can expect a lot more of this as Facebook cozies up closer and closer to Oculus and gang.

Can't you just delete the element node.
I do this a lot of the time, too. And I believe it is ridiculous to have to do it... Yes, I'm grateful that browsers today make it easy to pwn the DOM. And it is disgusting that this is often necessary to avoid spammy website behavior. People who don't understand browser internals are forced to contend with popups and forced registration to unveil content indexed by search engines. Yep I'm looking at you Quora. Thank…
Yeah, the Google query text is an oft-broken contract.
I presume there is some German word that describes the feeling of searching, seeing what you want right there, bolded in the result text, and doing a CMD-F to search for it on the page, only to hear the plaintive beep of 0/0 results.

There is people out there that prefer not to report everything they read, when, where, how, how long to a big multinational associated to the US secret services.

I think selling his company to Facebook has far wider reaching implications for privacy than where he hosts his blog, unfortunately.

That article is shared to 'Public': it should be visible to non-logged-in users. Not sure what changed — could be an issue with excessive crawlers…
I’ve very convinced that Facebook is very comfortable to let the minority who are not comfortable having an account read a public post -- especially when it’s about engineering. Those are usually on the company blog (without log-in block); Carmack probably was just using internal tool, and didn’t want to bother.
It’s probably less high on the priority list than “give affordable internet access to 1 billion people”, but in an ideal world, posts that are meant for “everyone” should not be gated.

Firefox's built-in reading mode was great in this particular case. That page is pretty unusable otherwise :/

His company? It's not his company.
