Not all of my posts are about them. I'd say most of them probably aren't these days. This one certainly wasn't. This one was inspired by a story which made it onto reddit or HN (can't remember which) about how North Dakota now looks bright at night from space due to petrochemical flares. That got me to learn about flaring, and the whole distillation tower concept and so forth. Before I learned about that, I had no idea crude oil could be turned into so many different things. That in turn got me thinking about "using all of the buffalo" - everyone's probably good somewhere... Meanwhile, HN has these YC company job postings which can be completely ridiculous, and it's impossible to discuss them to call them out on their insanity. If I write a post about something and it makes you think about a certain company, that may say more about your impression of that company than anything else.
