This Bloomberg site is the second 'rogue' site on HN I've encountered today - clicking the box and repeated press-and-hold (as reqested) wouldn't unlock the site.
I'm fed up with thus nonsense, Bloomberg.com is now on my blacklist.
I wish HN would mark such wayward sites with big markers such as a red warning dot. Better still not list them at all.
- thinkingemote 5y agoIt's probably set up so that any larger than normal traffic (hn hug) is tagged as a bot net ddos. Imagine running a news site and hating traffic to it...
- raxxorraxor 5y agoI don't think the HN hug is that bad. Although that some modern websites have problems serving more than 10 users is not too much of a wonder.
