>how Hacker News deals with someone registering a famous person's name

I registered as britneyspears, but dang got mad and made me change it. :(

I thought the absurdity of Britney being on HN was amusing.

Say it aint so. I learned all about lasers from Britney.

Great stuff! I always enjoy seeing websites from the 90s still being served to the public – even if they haven’t been updated in decades. Hedy Lamarr’s story was very interesting: https://britneyspears.ac/physics/intro/hedy.htm

You'd think an ENCOM representative would be allowed to have whatever name they wanted.
