Why even ask this question? The 1980s were a long time ago. Something like this isn't a problem these days.

I'm wondering when some fitness or lifestyle "influencer" is going to pick up on the headline of this article and proclaim "You don't need to eat three meals a day!"
jethronethro··on Doge 'didn't test' Social Security fraud detection tool at appropriate scale
Of course they didn't. Their code is perfect. It has to be. I'm mean, c'mon, their DOGE. They work for Musk. They've got to be great coders. Don't they???
jethronethro··on Yakult Lady
"Ding, dong. Yakult calling!"
jethronethro··on Tell HN: Amazon order info is getting sold
Sorry to hear this happened to you.

It's yet another reason I don't use Amazon. Sure, I might pay more for what I buy but I don't need to worry about my information being shared or sold by a giant of surveillance capitalism.

Strange, or well planned?

Barf coding?

jethronethro··on It's Now a Hate Crime to Vandalize Teslas in DC

jethronethro··on Trump's Big Bet: Americans Will Tolerate Downturn to Restore Manufacturing
It's not like the government and the private sector will be able to restore manufacturing quickly. The process will take a while and will cost.

I doubt most people will tolerate a longer-term downturn in the hope that a bunch of manufacturing will materialize. And I doubt that companies will want to do that. They moved manufacturing overseas to cut costs and get around labour.

As for lower prices, I doubt that'll happen either.

jethronethro··on I just launched a smart alarm clock designed to be placed across the room
Can't I just put an conventional alarm clock across the room and get the same results? No app or smartness required.
jethronethro··on Why isn't IsItCap app taking off?
Who knows about this tool? How have you been promoting it? Where? To whom?

If you build something, that doesn't mean people will come regardless of how useful it is.
