How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41283368 we should be linking to the primary source.

Q: Is there a specific reason* that this thread links to threadreaderapp?

* other than politics, which we try Really Hard not to bring into HN...

One great reason is that you need an account on X to read the thread. I deleted my account many months ago, along with many, many other people.

I've just opened https://x.com/dieworkwear in a private browsing window and - from here at least - I don't appear to need an account.

From what I can tell you need an x account to read replies, so I can only see the first tiny bit of the thread without an unroller. (For this thread: https://x.com/dieworkwear/status/1909741170953273353)

afaik you still need an account to read more than the first post in a thread, and many of us don't have twitter accounts any longer

Thank you.
