I remember a really impressive demo where someone found all the alt accounts of a HN user using stylometry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17944484 The account didn't have that many comments on it (maybe ~1000 karma) He also claims to have used the same algorithm for identifying company insiders for trades (see parent comment in that thread for context). I don't think he was bullshitting even though his tool isn't public because he has a different NLP project that works reasonably well (https://hnprofile.com/ which can find users based on their interests). |

Till recently, my primary account was a certain prominent account on HN. I was wondering if you'd be willing to email me the name of it.
I would be shocked and impressed, and it would serve as a great demo.
(I totally believe you. I'm just fascinated.)
Basically, I'm volunteering to be a lab rat.
