This should really be at the top of the page and not one full screen below the "Try" button.

It's insane how we're throwing out decades of security research because it's slightly annoying to have to write your own emails.

The absolute disregard is astonishing. How big of an incident will it take for any restraint to exist? Folks on HN are at least somewhat informed of the risks and can make choices, but the typical user still expects some modicum of security when installing an app or using a service.

A typical user also happily gives away all their personal information for free just to scroll through cat videos or see what % irish they are.

Even the HN crowd aimlessly runs curl | sh, npm i -g, and rando browser ext.

I agree, it's ridiculous but this isn't anything new.
