alt Hacker Newsi knew i recognized this name from somewhere.
they are a company that registers domains similar to their main one, and then uses those domains to spam people they scrape off of github without affecting their main domain reputation.

edit2: it appears that RunAnywhere is getting damage-control help by dang or tom.
this comment, at this time, has 23 upvotes yet is below 2 grey comments (i.e. <=0 upvotes) that were posted at roughly the same time (1 before, 1 after) -- strong evidence of artificial ordering by the moderators. gross.
Yup. The most crazy aspect was that they had bought the domain intentionally (just 1 month prior) that whole fiasco.
Maybe its just (n=2) that only we both remember this fiasco but I don't agree with that. I don't really understand how this got so so many upvotes in short frame of time especially given its history of not doing good things to say the very least... I am especially skeptical of it.
Thoughts?
Edit: I looked deeper into Sanchit's Hackernews id to find 3 days ago they posted the same thing as far as I can tell (the difference only being that it had runanywhere.ai domain than github.com/runanywhere but this can very well be because in hackernews you can't have two same links in small period of time so they are definitely skirting that law by pasting github link)
Another point, that post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47283498) got stuck at 5 points till right now (at time of writing)
So this got a lot more crazier now which is actually wild.
