GA Russell Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Unless there are two economists with that name, our Guy Berger was mentioned and indirectly quoted in a New York Times article which was printed in Sunday's News & Observer! http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODN/NewsAndObserver/?olv-cache-ver=20181018023310 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Does anyone have an alternate link? This one goes to a paywall, I'm afraid. Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Right click the link and choose open in new incognito window (Chrome). Speaking of paywalls/free articles, I continue to find it amazing that I can defeat NYT's limit on free articles with incognito windows. I can only open five at a time now (used to be 10) but how come the Boston Globe, owned by the Times if I am not mistaken, is set up to recognize incognito windows and make you sign up/pay to see anything more than one article a month no matter what? I can't imagine why anyone pays for the Times yet apparently they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GA Russell Posted November 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Dan, you (of all people) I would expect to know that the Globe is now owned by the owner of the Red Sox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH that's right were they forced to sell? Can't remember. I don't follow the Globe for Sox news, I do boston.com for Chad Finn and MLB.com otherwise. Hardballtalk if I want to aggravate myself. As to cookies dear Jim, I delete all such temporary ephemera to reset. The Globe don't care. It knows when it sees Incognito browsing and won't let you do it.

JSngry Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Some cookies last longer than others. I know the NYT's counting cookie has a somewhat indirect name, you have to look at it carefully to know what it is. Although with the incognito thing, I don't know how the site would read that. I mean, it's not truly "incognito" if they can tell it's incognito. But maybe it's as simple as they're noting that they can't set their cookies. I'd think if you deleted all relevant cookies and used a regular browser and then deleted all placed cookies after visiting? It's not that I mind being blocked from a site I don't care about, I just like knowing how it's done and how I can get around it. There's enough stuff for me on the NYT that I know how to reset their counter. Boston Globe, no idea, I don't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Defeating the Times cookies is not a big deal, when I clear out cookies etc I have a new set of five articles. I just find it easier to go incognito all the time. The Globe, on the other hand ... we need a middle finger smilie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Ah, they seem hellbound on placing a cookie (or cookies) at least once. If I was game to play, I'd let them do it, then go back and delete everything they put on there and then try again. Unless they're also tracking your IP, I'm thinking that should do it.

Dan Gould Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 If it's set to one article per month wouldn't you have to keep doing that over and over again? Every time you load a new article it tries to place the cookie and says "no more". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 yep, every time. pain in the ass. but if you can beat it once, hey, you beat it. smell the victory, breathe deep, and then walk away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TImes sold it in 2013 to John Henry (who also is the majority owner of the Boston Red Sox as well as the Liverpool soccer (or football, if you prefer) team).

Dave Garrett Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Not to advocate for the wholesale bypassing of paywalls, but http://archive.is/ is your friend if you don't want to screw around with resetting cookies or incognito mode. Drop the paywalled URL in, hit Save, and wait a bit for the article to appear after the archive genies do their thing. It doesn't work 100% of the time, and when it does, formatting may be a bit off and some graphics may be missing, but those are minor quibbles for what is generally a useful tool. And yes, it does work for the Boston Globe. There are also some Chrome extensions to neutralize paywalls, but those generally require sideloading as they tend to get yanked from the Chrome App Store.
