If you're going to piss people off by removing the headphone jack, you don't do it again by changing ports next year. You tear the bandage off in one go.

Good tooling, easy to understand, unambiguous? Sounds like Java. Why can't people just use Java?

I'll take basically any USD-denominated bet that says Bitcoin will never be more than 5% of real-world transactions by volume in any country in the world.

Can't you do that on the rest of the Internet with Bitcoin? Why would I want to do that anyway?

Your point? That's more than 40 years ago. The Unionist movement in the rest of the US is essentially dead (outside of government).

I don't really get Imzy - it sounds like a more liberal Reddit with more censorship? Censorship certainly makes HN better than Reddit, so no judgement there. I just don't understand the Imzy value proposition as a user.

Yes, but those aren't disruptive. Honestly though, this whole idea smells like technofuturism to me. High-speed trains are hard, and this is being sold as being easy and sexy and futuristic. However, if you do the math out, the capacit

I work as a software developer in Silicon Alley. I don't know anyone that owns an apartment in Manhattan that paid for it with money they earned. A few paid for apartments with family money, but the rest of us rent. My family has lived
