Show HN: Using stylometry to find HN users with alternate accounts
Author here. This site lets you put in a username and get the users with the most similar writing style to that user. It confirmed several users who I suspected were alts and after informally asking around has identified abandoned accounts of people I know from many years ago. I made this site mostly to show how easy this is and how it can erode online privacy. If some guy with a little bit of Python, and $8 to rent a decent dedicated server for a day can make this, imagine what a company with millions of dollars and a couple dozen PhD linguists could do.<p>Here's Paul Graham:<p><a href="https://stylometry.net/user?username=pg" rel="nofollow">https://stylometry.net/user?username=pg</a><p>Here are some frequent HN commenters: (EDIT: Removed due to privacy concerns)

Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
Last week we at n8n ran into problems getting a new database from Azure. After contacting support, it turns out that we can’t add instances to our k8s cluster either. Azure has told they'll have more capacity in April 2023(!) — but we’ll have to stop accepting new users in ~35 days if we don't get any more. These problems seem only in the German region, but setting up in a new region would be complicated for us.<p>We never thought our startup would be threatened by the unreliability of a company like Microsoft, or that they wouldn’t proactively inform us about this.<p>Is anyone else experiencing these problems?
