To red team that line of reasoning: hold on to the hacked data but don't use it, wait till public forgets about it, don't give business/lawmakers a reason to neuter the data, then strike a few years down the line.
- jameskegel 9y agoUsername related; please don't.
- BoorishBears 9y agoCoincidentally this is the second time today I've seen a profile description that took a real hard line against people not using their real names. I never realized "real name elitism" existed on HN
- pavel_lishin 9y agoI wonder what constitutes a "novelty" username. Does patio11 count? What about dang? What about _why?
- jameskegel 9y agoIt's a response to people with crass, Reddit-like usernames, like BloodyDickFart. Sound comment or not, I'd rather not engage in that type of conversation. I don't expect people to use their real names, a username is fine, I said novelty names.
- pavel_lishin 9y agoDo... do those come up a lot here on HN? Aside from dead throwaways?
- jameskegel 9y agoYes, and the frequency is increasing.
- daveguy 9y agoFortunately, I think it's rare.
- ComodoHacker 9y agoPerhaps "about: payment tech" explains it.
- BoorishBears 9y agoThat explains the comment, I mean the micro rant about "only real names get responses"
- jameskegel 9y agoWhy put quotes if you're not quoting what I said? You are suggesting that your modified text is what is on my profile and it's not.
- BoorishBears 9y agoQuotes can have multiple meanings, some of which oppose each other. Generally one is expected to use context clues to disseminate which meaning is most relevant to a given sample of text. In this case they were to indicate a somewhat mocking tone in my paraphrasing. The exact quote actually managed to be more condescending than that: > Commentors with novelty usernames should not expect responses. On a totally unrelated note, you sound like a wonderfully pleasant person to interact with. I am deeply saddened those of us with "novelty usernames" might miss out on that.
- lightedman 9y agoYou aren't the referee here. You're also not smart using your real name on the internet. You must be new here.
- jameskegel 9y agoYou see exactly how long I've been here. Are you new?
