johnnymonster··on US judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airlines
Spirit is such a pile of garbage that doing anything is better than doing nothing to spirit. We should make the judge fly Spirit for a few months and this merger will pass with flying colors.

johnnymonster··on Ask HN: Any weird tips for weight loss?
It’s true that the unpopular and weird opinion is to do an extremely lazy workout and barely walk a little bit each week and over time you will see a massive change. That’s it!
johnnymonster··on Boeing 777 departing Dubai nearly had a major incident after takeoff

johnnymonster··on Someone attached an AirTag to my car while I was in a bar
Security by obscurity is not security at all. Thinking you were safe because “people didn’t know about it” is not safety at all! Bad people are going to be bad. They don’t need AirTags for that. Knowing it can happen is far better for everyone to know about than living in a false sense of security.
johnnymonster··on Don't start with microservices – monoliths are your friend
Avoid any advice that touts itself as gospel! Do your own DD for the product or services you’re building. Maybe you’re never going to hit more than 100 users in total or maybe you’re building a static website. Take some time and evaluate the pros and cons of your architecture and seek advice from those who have come before you!

johnnymonster··on PayPal launches crypto checkout service
Exactly my reservation with using something like this! the US still classifies virtual currency as Property NOT currency! This is a HUGE problem when trying to use crypto to buy things where there will be a paper trail that the US govt can get ahold of it.

johnnymonster··on Norwegian Air to cancel 85% of flights and temporarily lay off 90% of staff
It's a temporary layoff and it's exactly what they should be doing. When they lay off the employees, they are able to collect unemployment benefits from the government. It's a perfect strategy so that the employees will be ok instead of not receiving wages. once things rebound, they can hire them back again and all is good.
