HN now comes with HTTPS?
It hides the referer which is unfortunate. Maybe an option only to login, register, etc via HTTPS?

Many people, myself included, would see that as a good thing. Not an "unfortunate" thing. Limiting HTTPS to logins only allows session hijacking. Session hijacking is a serious problem.
