- nend 6y agoThank you. I can't really think of a worse way to read twitter than a long form story broken up in to 13 separate posts.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoI actually came to post this. After noticing some weird terminology in the Twitter thread (I've never heard the term "Cucamonga Valley" used to refer to the neighborhood by Ontario International Airport) I found that hustle.co article which has very similar wording. I think the Twitter thread is just a paraphrasing with some jazzed up details
- shmageggy 6y ago> paraphrasing That’s a generous way to say plagiarism IMO. Link should probably be updated to this (@dang?). Plus it avoids the abomination that is long form text mutilated into a thousand tweets.
- netsharc 6y agoEspecially since on Twitter it could be summarised as "Janitor introduced flaming cheetos to CEO and it made the company xxx dollars".. God damn attention-seeking content-stealing Twitterers..
- kenshi 6y agoInformation arbitrage is one helluva social media drug.

- bsagdiyev 6y agoIt’s weird but not wrong, the area he lived in is still there. Guasti, CA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guasti,_California https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guasti,_California
- Rebelgecko 6y agoDefinitely not incorrect, it was just odd enough to make me suspect that there was some copy-paste action going on
- OJFord 6y agoI'm confused now - the Ontario international airport is in California? (As opposed to Ontario, Canada; both of course confusingly abbreviated 'CA'.) https://www.flyontario.com/ https://www.flyontario.com/ Yep, yes it is. Not confusing at all..! (To be fair I've tried to check in to a hotel on Newmarket Rd, Cambridge for a booking in Newmarket, North of Cambridge; which was at least wrong with reference to the same Cambridge UK and not Cambridge Mass. USA, but to do it with an international airport just seems particularly mean, especially when the ambiguity is on county/province/state (as you prefer to term it) level.)
- stan_rogers 6y agoOntario, the province, is freaking huge (and, as these things go in Canada, populous). An "Ontario Airport" would make no sense at all.
- OJFord 6y agoMany UK airports describe themselves as 'London airport's without that making much sense.
- ojbyrne 6y agoI love that there are 2 Ontario, CA. And I love that Los Angeles could also be described as “freaking huge.”I have driven across both Ontarios so I realize it’s a different order of magnitude.

- rchaud 6y agoThanks for posting the original article. I remember it being posted earlier on HN. The second I saw the tweet about "Make sure they know a Montanez" mopped it, I knew it was the hot chip story, as that was a line I remember from the article.
