Yes. The "hack" is a case of bypassing the overlay to see the content that's already there.

There's another easy workaround: links referred from Twitter are exempt from the paywall. NYTimes is trying to shut down the Twitter account set to link to all NYT posts as "violating trademark." Which is a fascinating approach, and means that there'll be plenty of other Twitter accounts doing the same thing, just without NYTimes in the name.

I haven't figured out how to trigger the paywall to find this for myself.
The paywall's not live in the US yet, only in Canada, if that matters. It launches globally on Mar 28th.
