Why, I couldn't even get into the article before it faded into a paywall.

To get past paywalls, add "http://archive.is/" to the front of the URL.

So

"http://foo.bar/baz"

becomes

"http://archive.is/http://foo.bar/baz"

It works 99%+ of the time.

That layer will also include, worldwide, levels of radioisotopes that do not occur naturally. The same way that there is an Iridium layer on the soils of 65MYA showing the asteroids that killed the dinosaurs, the current sediments being laid down have traces of plutonium and other materials that will exist until the sun becomes a red giant and swallow the Earth.

What most people fail to realize, though, is that if you used time stop to sleep you would certainly have more productive hours "awake" -- but at the cost of reducing your remaining life span in the time-wise world by one third. You'd still be aging while you sleep.

And I've already seen comments that it's not available in the official Reddit app. Shocking (/s if that wasn't obvious.)

Here's how TOR works. It's amazing.

And here's how Onion hidden services work...

TOR lets journalists do their job safely from dangerous places, lets whistle-blowers report things we should know, and lets people in oppressive regimes see the rest of the Internet that their government blocks. It's an amazing tool.
