Where in the World Is Larry Page?

If you have a problem with Google, call Sundar.
The author assumes that Larry, who has been downshifting his role for years, including an extension nodded medical leave in the last, is the real power at Google and this random Indian guy is just a placeholder, not someone who has been running ever growing segments of Google for a decade.
The WSJ seems happy to let people read their articles for free from Facebook, so maybe we should send them mail asking to let HN be a valid referer, too :).

Though the point of the “web” link up above is basically to perform the google search, which had historically been a whitelisted referer.
The FAQ suggests though that we’ve strayed too far off topic :). And fwiw, this is an interesting position piece rather than the usual “Where’s Larry Page?” sequence of articles.
Personally I think it ought to be against the HN rules to post a link to an article that is hidden behind a paywall.
Or how about this rule: it's ok to post a link as long as you also cut and paste a copy of the whole article into the first comment.
