This request originated via recent discussions on HN, and the forming of HARC! at YC Research. I'll be around for most of the day today (though the early evening).

Reddit commenter implying this AMA is fake. How are HN accounts verified? How do we know this is a real AMA? Just curious.

In this kind of cases you can send an emails to the mods hn@ycombinator.com . Most of the times dang replies very soon. (And if the story is a fake, they'd usually remove it from the front page.)

Thanks, I'll do that. Looks legit to me, but got curious about the verification process.
