I see a guy who has shown evidence that he has the skill and agency to successfully ship and scale a project that people want, pushing the frontier tools to their limits. That is valuable.
enieslobby··on ICE Will Use AI to Surveil Social Media
Please provide evidence for Kimi Onoda being "hateful". She is 100% culturally Japanese, and even speaks English with an accent. This is different from immigrants who don't know the basic cultural norms of a country and have integration issues.

enieslobby··on Ask HN: How do you organize your bookmarks?
Some people like to bookmark sites they frequent like gmail/facebook/etc, but I prefer just navigating to them normally. Still seems faster than bookmarking and I don't waste browser chrome on icons/bookmark text.

I generally try to store all articles I want to come back to in Instapaper to be as browser/platform agnostic as possible.
