Give it a few more decades, maybe so.

We shall see. Not today but give it 20 years and you may be surprised.

I guess we'll see what happens in ~5 years

With any luck, in a few decades, it won't be.

ahmadss Nov 4, 2020 View on HN

remarkEon Jul 3, 2020 View on HN

Yeah, just wait a couple decades.

phendrenad2 Sep 5, 2021 View on HN

True, maybe the idea will make more sense in 10+ years.

zzzeek Jul 5, 2023 View on HN

not really. let's wait ten years, then come back and see how it went.

scarby2 Sep 24, 2023 View on HN

We'll let you know in 20 to 30 years...

Not now, but who knows in 20 or 50 years ...
