Hacker news is a hard place to get traction these days... I remember shortly after the launch of Hacker News, I had several stories get to the number one slot on the front page like it was no thing... now that would be unfathomable...

So it's a thing in crypto do "decompose" a user into multiple accounts in order to protect privacy (see "coin control" etc) Ideally, a social network should work the same way... If you have multiple interests, the system should treat those as totally separate identities. Then it would be YOUR CHOICE whether or not to tie them together in some way.

Basically!

Since "arizing" is in the "profitable" column she would probably not know him. Instead, she would read his feed to see what he's about, in order to cater stories to his taste (that is my thinking anyway)
