Impressive, but I don't see the seat number?

  (For those confused: when not logged in, Twitter doesn't show replies anymore, only a single tweet, like if they didn't exist at all; it doesn't show almost any tweets on anyone's timeline also, except a few old random ones. Thanks Elon.)

The seat number is imo the least impressive part. The wing gives it away.

More info on the actual flight and seat number in his video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwybO1tvI0O/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CwybO1tvI0O/ The seatmap: https://seatguru.com/airlines/Southwest_Airlines/Southwest_Airlines_Boeing_737_Max_8.php https://seatguru.com/airlines/Southwest_Airlines/Southwest_A...

  He wrote 17F on twitter, and said 18F in the video. Which is it? :)

    That's your question, that he might have been off 30-40inches or whatever is the distance between two economy rows in a737? :))

Not that impressive. The post has flight # (you can lookup seat map, direction of flight), and wing photo. Ask anyone who’s been in consulting (like big4) and they’ll all have a good chance of getting it right.

  Big4 is accounting

    Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG, and PwC would all have significant time around airlines and aircraft manufacturers, all of their various projects, diagrams, data, etc. For lots of projects that have nothing to do with accounting. And also a lot of miles sitting in those aircraft.

It's because you need to be logged into Twitter to see more than the single linked tweet. I don't care about who runs the web site, this change in behavior is a horrible experience that's different than any other link on HN.

  I totally agree with you. I deleted my X account and only find myself on the site when I click a link without noticing the URL. I don't miss it, but it would be nice to have more context for what people are discussing.

    I read the tweet, realize there’s more, realize I can’t read it, and feel sad for a second because it was probably good info. Twitter is such a negative place that even FOMO isn’t strong enough to draw me back in. I feel like I’m missing on a lot from my local community by rejecting FB, Twitter, etc, but it is bad for me, and I feel much better without it in my life.
