This is a violation of the guidelines: "Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create accounts routinely. HN is a community—users should have an identity that others can relate to."
- caminante 6mo agoIt's also futile because you generate a signature that can be traced across aliases, sites, etc.
