I was very fortunate to have a conversation with him a few years ago. We talked a bit about his journey and a bit about his hacks, his setup, and of course a lot about Linux:
Innovation is inherently disruptive - it changes the way the world runs.
Now that's not to say you need disruption to be successful (Buffett seems to have gotten to where he is by being extremely canny and fastidious), or that buzz-wordy disruption leads to innovation (and not just badly spent VC money).
Seriously, what is wrong with this? It's a for-profit private org. Does this really deserve the top spot on HN? What's next? "Toyota showroom wants you buy a Corolla instead of a used VW"?
Uhhh. jwz.org checks the referer header for hacker news and redircts to a picture of some male gentailia in a egg cup, with some text of what jwz thinks of this site.
I'd advise linking to a archive.org version of the url.
Not sure I understand your question, but in general rich web experience is close to 0. I use html2text which is good for the most part but if you receive emails with embedded javascript and you want to avoid them (a lot of phishing traps goes out of the equation with plaintext). It's a matter of your personal preference and priority. If you like the sort of things mentioned in the article you should give it a shot, at least, try taking a 2-week sabbatical from web email.
Are there any e-mail clients that actually execute JavaScript? I use mutt, Mail.app, and occasionally GMail, and none even support JavaScript execution, AFAIK, let alone execute it by default.
Granted. I am not equipped to answer the question, assumption about js could be wrong too. Perhaps, I should replace javascript with HTML. The argument still holds about distractions and phishing risks etc.
