    Your envelope requires physical transportation that could be inspected and blocked by two governments even if you use private shipping companies like UPS or FedEx.

    Bitcoins cannot be blocked unless one government blocks the whole of Internet itself.

    I could pay cash for a lot of new cars, including a tesla, but I love my inline wrangler.

    An inline wrangler is great, but have you tried inline-block wrangler, or even absolute wrangler? Some people like static wrangler too but I find it a bit annoying.

    The i3 isn't bad, but the i5 and i7 are better. Oh and there's the new upcoming i9 too, that thing is seriously badass.

  8. Re:Nice that they can do this on Apple To Phase Out 32-Bit Mac Apps Starting In January 2018 (macrumors.com) · · Score: 2

    A good chunk of the business treats software like physical plant. They build a refinery and expect it to run for at least 50 years. They buy software and it should run for that long too. Crazy, but nearly true.

    And why is that crazy? If the software runs on a standalone computer, not connected to the internet, why does it matter? As long as it runs and does what it has to do, what's the problem?

    New does not automatically equals better. Compatibility with existing hardware, training employees about the new software, useful features being dropped in the new software... I can think of plenty of reasons to keep using something that's working fine.

    What the hell is so impressive about that? I cracked my own phone last week. It was extremely easy to do and I even did it by mistake.

    I dropped it on the sidewalk and the screen cracked in about three places.
