We shouldn't internationally name and shame 17 year olds on HN.
- imiric 2y agoTheir name is already widespread online. A niche forum linking to an article that mentions it will hardly make an impact. Besides, this behavior deserves shaming, revoking of their prize, and maybe even legal repercussions. A 17 year old is practically an adult in many jurisdictions, and if they're doing this at that age, they will only continue to commit fraud later. Ethics should be learned early on in life, and a 17 year old should know better. Let this be a lesson.
