If you don't want to read the twitter thread, you can read this:

I 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

> 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.

Ok, we've updated the URL from https://twitter.com/ankithharathi/status/1341193051184611331.

Especially 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..

Information arbitrage is one helluva social media drug.

It’s weird but not wrong, the area he lived in is still there. Guasti, CA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guasti,_California

I'm confused now - the Ontario international airport is in California? (As opposed to Ontario, Canada; both of course confusingly abbreviated 'CA'.)

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.)

Ontario, the province, is freaking huge (and, as these things go in Canada, populous). An "Ontario Airport" would make no sense at all.

Many UK airports describe themselves as 'London airport's without that making much sense.

I 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.

> Newmarket, North of Cambridge; which was at least wrong with reference to the same Cambridge UK and not Cambridge Mass. USA

You’re lucky you didn’t get Newmarket or Cambridge ... Ontario!

Definitely not incorrect, it was just odd enough to make me suspect that there was some copy-paste action going on

Thank 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.

Thanks 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.
