  how can you have privacy without anonymity from your information service providers?

  If you want upvotes, please explain why you think this. Who is "jrockway"? Why would being more anonymous or less anonymous make my comments more or less useful or interesting? If anonymity is bad, why do you use a nickname here?

    If anonymity isn't an issue, lets just get rid of the nicknames altogether and turn into 4chan. Once you allow anonymity, you also allow impersonation, endless trolling, abuse, etc etc.

      Anonymity is hardly necessary to hassle or troll (or even impersonate) people.

        You're seriously suggesting HN users can't work out the difference between an 'o' and a '0'? I'd credit them with slightly more intelligence than that.

          No, but they can't tell the difference in axоd. (The о there is the Cyrillic lookalike.)

            It's a moot point. The nickname is different, and can be proven to be.
