Might be cloudflare. They use Recaptcha.

No. It's a 2nd screen to complete login. It also breaks mobile clients such as materialistic and is plain evil anyway

I was wondering why I couldn't upvote anything through the app and then also wondering why the app kept thinking I wasn't signed in. This is poor indeed. I like using Materialistic. I guess I just won't vote, submit or comment until this madness is over.

Pretty sure Hacker News doesn't use cloud flare.

Really, what service are they using? A few months ago Cloud Flare went down along with almost all the sites using them, but HN was unaffected. It's also not shown on any scanning tools. I guess I assumed wrong...
