That is weird - when I click on mine, it goes to the correct article/link. There was something in the newsletter last week that took me to the Data Compression article but the links have been fine since then.

Crazy. Didn't see this as it worked for me in multiple tests. The issue is the scheduler has to publish the content or it's hidden. Hidden content is a 404, but it ends up on the Tony Davis article. We're working on a couple fixes, but they're not deployed. The scheduler, no idea. Tagged that as a highest priority item.
Long story:Wordpress accounts for possible truncation of URLs, or slight changes. If it gets a missing URL, before kicking a 404, it does a "like" search for articles that might match. Then it returns one of those. That seems insane to me, but we discovered this in tracking down a few items across the last week.
In our case, because we have a lot of URL redirects, and some are not yet programmed in, we have some content that kicks out 0 rows, which causes WordPress to do a like search of sorts. I don't want to spend time tracking the technical details of what happens, but I've asked that we note the 404 and drop the user to the search page.
