What’s peculiar about this is that parental restrictions itself on iOS has always been flawed, Apple knew about it, and it’s still an issue to this day. The sole purpose of parental restrictions on iPhone was to block adult websites... and that worked as well as you can imagine: https://www.jonbottarini.com/2017/03/09/bypassing-apples-ios...


Was able to reproduce on my machine. macOS High Sierra 10.13 (17A405)

This is incredible.


Great website, never heard of it before. Will definitely be using it as a resource in the future!


That was my tweet believe it or not. I had to turn notifications off on my phone because out of nowhere it was getting bombarded with shares/likes...


As a researcher, I am incredibly, incredibly excited to see H1 grow and more companies come online. I pay a good portion of my rent through bug bounties and I have to admit the gamification and ease of working with H1 makes it fantastic for someone like me.


As with most events that have occurred since Trump took the presidency, I am concerned, but optimistic. She has my full support, I hope she makes great changes to a system that desperately needs it.


Is there anything that she has accomplished or done in her life that indicates that she will improve things? She had a lot of trouble answering absurdly basic questions during her confirmation hearing.


Pop-ups like that have long been shown to improve conversion rates... at the increase of pissing off people who wouldn't have been a conversion anyway.


Do they increase conversion rates long term? A lot of those pissed off people might not be customers today but could be in future.


What was the last hover ad you saw? Closing it is so instinctual I doubt it even registered. Those people won't remember next time. Annoying people is an evolutionarily stable strategy.


Good point, I'm not sure. My instinct has now transformed to closing the tab instead of the popup though, the close button is in a predictable place.


After writing this today, I was reading an interesting (to me) article on building two sided marketplaces, a pop up came up around half way through, didn't feel unreasonable actually as I was feeling value from the contents of the article and it felt likely appropriate moment for them to make the ask.

Thanks for the discussion everyone.

Probably around 20.

My best one: Legal18s.com

I totally want to create a portal for "young professionals who want to study the intricacies of law and legal issues that we face today as a nation" just as a joke. I have no real plans for the domain.


Cool! What have you done with the other 19 domain names? Do you use them? (I think I have around 20 too...)


I usually have them for other projects I am working on - rarely do I purchase a domain just to let it sit there, but that's just me.

Not in the market to domain squat... gotta put them to use somehow.


So you're running 20 sites? Nice!


Interesting enough, HN itself was actually susceptible to this and it was reported by a security researcher:

I think what's interesting is that Sacks was put into this position at the request of the board and shareholders. For the most part, this will be a interesting transition for Zenefits as they deal with the wave after wave of bad news...
