#2We have been asked a few times not to post SubscriberLinks to hackernews, lwn submissions tend to make their way into the public anyway, with a 2 week delay for non-subscribers.
Continuing to post these articles has some potential for financial harm to the project and may prevent such articles being written in future.

Whilst I largely agree, in this specific case the talk on which the article is based is public.

Who is "we"? There's been numerous threads in LWN posts that state that posting subscriber links to hackernews is in fact encouraged by LWN. So you seem to be stating the reverse of what is general knowledge.

I don't remember ever seeing anyone ask to avoid posting LWN subscriber links to HN. Actually, a few months ago Jonathan Corbet stated the following on this site:
"It's nice to see LWN on HN for the second time in one day, but please remember: it is only LWN subscribers that make this kind of writing possible. If you are enjoying it, please consider becoming a subscriber yourself — or, even better, getting your employer to subscribe."[0]
It sounds like Mr. Corbet is fine with the occasional link as long as people keep LWN's business model and financial needs in mind. LWN is an excellent resource, I highly recommend subscribing.

I thought whenever this is posted someone paid for it to be made public?
'The following subscription-only content has been made available to you by an LWN subscriber.'
Are those really only subscriber links?

The links are public, but hidden, so any subscriber that has a link can share it to any number of people.
