They're not real, they're Twitter chat bots. That Amazon thinks this was a good PR move is truly astonishing.
It’s astonishing people are so confident these are bots. No real evidence of that and it’s more likely they’re real. Occam’s razor.

The evidence came a bit further down with one commenter posting a picture of one being male in one post and female in another.

What about the initial guy that says he has a grandchild when he's like a young guy from the phillipines?

#106Can somebody explain how to parse the page linked here? This seems like deeplinking Intl the middle of a conversation. Side note: it feels like Twitter specifically has done immeasurable damage to the discourse. Why does the communication have to be presented so confusingly? To an outsider it seems like it’s to create maximum outrage/confusion/dopamine response. That’s much scarier to me than a customer service team.
Came here to ask the same. Twitter is utterly unreadble to me. Since they are linked to quite often, I once wanted to give them feedback that their website is pretty bad and _really_ annoying to use with a browser since they nag and nag and nag about using their app instead (just like reddit). Well, that was fruitless since they of course wanted me to have an account for that... The web is not as good nowadays unfort…
You are not required to read every post on HN, and you can see on the front page which ones go to sites you don't like.

You scroll up, and then read each tweet. I refuse to believe HN users are this genuinely ignorant about such a basic website. It's really nowhere near as hard to read as anyone here makes it out to be.

In my experience being in a union (against my preferences) it’s not implied, but a fact. Unions have sued their own members for speaking with managers about grievances.
My guess would be that it would be because the member is trying to cut an individual deal on a group problem. This is how the capitalist class practices divide and conquer.

The first tweet when I scroll up is an answer in the middle of the conversation. The actual start isn't visible. And if I need to scroll up in order to understand anything, why not load the page from the top instead of jumping to some random place? It's almost like any basic website does this better.
Do you also complain when you get directly linked to a particular line of code in github or a readme?
