From the FAQ[1] Are paywalls ok? It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds. In comments, it's ok to ask how to read an article and to help other users do so. But please don't post complaints about paywalls. Those are off topic. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
Does anyone else find it ironic/hilarious that YC considers customer complaints about their product to be "off topic".

#14I'll never forget what they did to Palm, so wither HP, wither.
Long live the Palm Pre. WebOS and the card system was years before iOS had something similar. Palm created something good but still need improvement. HP made situation worse.
That and their rush job and initial over pricing of the HP Tablet (which then lead to the infamous $99 fire sale)

#17I can't say I've ever seen someone refer to Hewlett-Packard as H-P before now. I've always seen it just as HP.
From what I understand "HP" is the old combined business and the new consumer business.
HPE and H-P refer to "Hewlett-Packard Enterprise" the new spin off.
