It seems it already exists!

So it's designed for the classroom, but I don't see why it couldn't work here.

One minor nitpick: make the input where you type the link more obvious. There's no indication that it's the input, and it just looks like a heading

That's part of the point! I did intentionally try to design it similarly to a real cookie consent banner.
It just goes to show how ineffective they are if people just click without even reading them.

Hey HN, creator here. I made this satirical project for me to learn how to make NPM modules and my goal was to release it in one day. It’s not for serious use. The code isn’t great. Like I said, I’m still learning.
Here’s the GitHub: https://github.com/rockhopper72/no-cookie Pull requests welcome.
Thanks!

I like how the author doesn't immediately reject orders if they have just one sign (IP address country different from shipping country, shipping to a reshipping center, etc.) but looks at all the indicators as a whole to make a decision.
Edit: isn't this how Stripe Radar[1] works?

Re:The Secret to Better Social Media? Fewer Friends
on Saturday April 14, 2018 @06:50PM (#16840024)
This is one thing I think Google+ got right. I can have different types of “friends”, each in their own categories, such as “sharaholic” or “meme poster” and only visit those circles occasionally.
The only problem is the unpopularity of G+.

I know nothing about aviation, but isn’t “autopilot” on a commercial plane pretty much just “maintain altitude and heading”? Pilots still have to be engaged and active, right?
