I'm not going to merge the current thread thither, because it's so bad. Interesting specimen of how much worse the comments get when there isn't a readable, substantive article to backstop the thread.
(Not a criticism of the submitter! - ft.com was the original source for this story and there are workarounds available, like the archive link and the google trick described at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47319643.)
