A separate process has an overhead over just using a separate thread. If you put each individual tab into an individual process, you will have this overhead for each individual tab, meaning that you're much more limited in the total number of tabs that you can have, no matter what those tabs have loaded.

It's not gobbledygook to disagree with the government. (Is the Declaration of Independence gobbledygook?) It's only gobbledygook if you expect a police officer or court to be persuaded by your reasoning. Gaines defended her sovereignty with her gun, just like the US and MD government does. Unfortunately for her, the MD government used it's guns more preemptively, aggressively, and effectively.

IIRC they're planning to use a number of sources. Things like utilities - so at a minimum you'd have to pay for and use a reasonable amount of electricity, water, etc. in the home. Even garbage/recycling collection would be a give-away. Insurance companies will also be a source of info, as insurance rates differ based on occupancy, so the companies have an incentive to determine the same. Finally anonymous reporting (ie from neighbours). Sounds like it should be pretty effective to me. The last bit least so, but utilities + insurance should go a long way. It's going to be a lot easier to just find a decent tenant (easy to do when housing is in such short supply; charge slightly below market rent if you want your pick from many applicants) than to do all the work to fake occupancy.
Imagine a slightly longer, single-lane-width version of this running along the middle lanes of Oak and Fell in SF, one every few minutes, almost never late because traffic is irrelevant.

This coming at you from behind is not all that different to a motorbike, is it? You'd have a special traffic light phase at each end to allow it to loop around safely. This has to be much cheaper than digging tunnels anywhere where earthquakes are a concern.
"Cutting edge or not, the next century will be driven by China simply because the momentum that they have generated"

There are no such tool tips when looking at log files. If this problem happens rarely or only in production, that oftentimes is the only thing you have.

What isn't talked about in this article is the effect this is having on the other industries in the city aside from real estate.

I believe that Vancouver has potential to be THE tech hub in Canada. Unfortunately, wages are very low compared to the cost of housing, and so the cost of living is super high. Combine that with extremely low vacancy rates, and it is very hard to attract talent from out of town. In fact, many young, smart and talented people just head south to Seattle or the valley because the wages are so much higher, and the economics of staying in Vancouver just don't make sense.

The other industries that could be thriving and building up a real economy in city are some of the biggest casualties in this whole mess. Unfortunately, all of the politicians from municipal to provincial are in bed with the real estate industry, so nothing truly effective and meaningful will be done.
Ok we should give credits to China:

> a.) can do things without switching apps. (?!)

Another term for this is integration. It is not just about not switching apps, it is about ingratiating different features (chat&social&payment&voucher) and providing a natural and consistent experience for users in a single app. You don't see that quite often for SV companies.

How innovative is this? I am not sure, but definitely something new and first popularized by Tencent in the era of QQ before 2008.

Not main point of the article, there are plenty of other innovations in the areas of living streaming and drone technology, but unfortunately you missed them.

> c.) pay things on phone (invented by nokia, popularized in europe)

Not sure about how Nokia and Europe did it, but in China you can pay movie tickets, utilities, taxi fees, fines, etc in a single app. Maybe Europe was a pioneer in this and I wasn't aware of that.

This actually is "cutting edge" if you compare it to the bullshit we in the West have to deal with daily. I have way too much apps on my Android phone, none of which can talk to each other (despite intents) and half of which should be infrastructure-level anyway.

> b.) uses QR codes (invented by Japan, popularized by Japan)

... and almost completely ignored by Europe and the US. That they turned something potentially useful into actually useful is interesting in its own right.

> c.) pay things on phone (invented by nokia, popularized in europe)

Except it is 2016 and in Europe (and presumably in the US) it only barely works somewhere, sometimes, for some things.

I mean, let's not play double standards - if it's entirely fair to call Western companies (especially SV startups) "innovative" for wrapping something common in a Bootstrap theme, or turning something that should be a product into a butt service to extract rent from people, then it's entirely fair to call China "cutting edge".
Not my idea of sane (Ruby has a command line option for how it handles string printing...); I was thinking of most more-strictly-typed, compiled language.

By error handling I mean scripts don't break the page. Same as HTML - the browser tries to ignore source errors. This sloppiness spills over, I think, into the attitudes of developers. But maybe this is an invalid personal projection.

I suppose I mean virtual DOM. In other GUI platforms, can't you usually just provide a command to temporarily stop painting, then resume after you've made changes that need recalculating?

But perhaps web dev isn't special; sure there's plenty of terrible server software written and maybe I'm poorly extrapolating from too little experience.

The end result is that, day-to-day, I can count on basically every desktop app to be fairly responsive. Whereas loading any given content (low interaction) website has a high chance of feeling sluggish to operate. When the actual functionality of said websites is fairly unremarkable, it makes me think perhaps the platform has some responsibility for it, somehow.

Edit: I'll admit I'm armchair engineering. I haven't done serious web dev in over 10 years. Just extrapolating based on some observations and how the JS community seems to be, overall. I might be way off here.

I use a tab suspender that will suspend background tabs after a couple minutes... I'll whitelist internal apps, and lighter pages (like HN). It helps quite a bit.

I have to agree on it being harder to track how much memory chrome is really using... also, hard to tell which process is for what tab or extension.

I haven't been a heavy Firefox user for a while, I find the opposite case when trying to debug in Firefox.

For me the bigger draw to chrome is I happen to like the UI more... I no longer see the need for the separate search input, sometimes the fast paced changes to chome's UI can be cumbersome. That said, I work in OSX, Windows and Linux (Ubuntu Unity) pretty regularly, so it's always different somewhere.
luxer one and amazon lockers do the same.

For example, in the yard of our apartment we have storage cabinets with password locks. The deliver guys won't deliver each package to your door, as it is inefficient, especially because apartment buildings are tall in China, you have to take elevator. Instead, they put packages into one of the cabinet doors. And you will receive a password on your phone. Put the code in, the cabinet door will open. you can then get the package.

What’s your view on Digital Transformation?
Your comment made me go look it up. Q1 2016 Akamai report ranks the U.S. 16th for average download speed. ZDnet currently ranks the U.S. 41st for average speed on their broadband speed test though. Both are obviously non-random samples, but Akamai probably has a less skewed distribution.

I thought it was interesting that for the % of homes with at least 4mbps service, Akamai ranked the U.S. 44th globally at 88%. That's another way to look at infrastructure: how many folks have broadband at all?

Whether these numbers count as "lagging" is in the eye of the beholder, obviously. We're not top ten in any category.
IMO it holds very much appeal from the user perspective - tight integration of various services is a big win, and it's something we in the west don't enjoy - with each company trying to steal your attention for themselves, instead of cooperating to build actually useful ecosystem of tools.

"It makes sense that China (and Korea) have leaped ahead. They have relatively high average IQ populations. They have cultures that celebrate education, intelligence, and hard work (not sports and broism)"

How ridiculous and bigoted on every front.

China values 'hard work' and 'intelligence'? It would seem you could also say they value oppression, poverty, pollution and copying everything. But that wouldn't be fair.

Some places in China have done well in infrastructure, as has most of S Korea, but there are two primary differences:

A) China / Korean built up their infrastructure nearly from scratch in the modern era. Totalitarian or near totalitarian governments actually can do well when their are obvious investments to make.

B) Their populations are closer. This is a big one for transport, in particular.

China is what China is, and I see it being a little bit more than that for 2 more decades, but the only long term difference will come as they bring more people out of poverty = more consumers. By that time, they will have their own demographic problems.

I believe that most of the geopolitical shift has already happened.

The 'next 50 years' will be driven not by China, so much as 3 billion people in other places, currently living on $2 a day, coming into living on $50 a day. That will be huge, and more spread out.

Hopefully, it comes without too much tension.

I'll bet in 50 years the 'leaders' in various fields will generally still be the leaders in those fields, for the most part.
It's different.

The use case for this is the same as light rail, shorter distances with more frequent stops. Basically this is to commuter rail as commuter rail is to high speed rail.

Thanks for that. Nifty invention - that nobody uses outside of China.

Meanwhile, talk to any rail car maker in the world, and they'll tell you that as part of the deal they had to sell trains in China, they had to hand over 100% of the IP, research, R&D, plans, schematics. And within 1 year the government had handed over the plans to a state owned competitor who had copied the entire thing from top to bottom.

When we see those nifty trains running over San Francisco, you'll have a point.
I agree, this bothers me as well; the mansions seem to get way more press than they deserve.

-the person who can now afford that $1 million condo because they just sold their smaller condo for $500,000 and netted $250,000.
-the fact that interest rates are at the lowest ever and some years ago amortization periods were pushed up to 40 years and down payments of 0-5% were allowed.
> (a) Cars do obey traffic lights, at least in Shanghai and Beijing. Perhaps you're talking about 10 years ago, or in tier 2/3/4 cities

Most of the time? More so in Shanghai than Beijing, I still see cars doing very crazy things on a daily basis. I mean, what cop is going to dare and pull over a Black Audi?

> (d) People do pay attention when they cross the road. You have to, because cars can turn right at a red light and, even though they're meant to yield to pedestrians, they don't.

Most do, but after seeing a couple of cyclists hit and (probably) killed as they just blew through a red light, well, some obviously don't.

> (c) Creating an additional lane is rare in big cities.

Heck, 25% of the lanes in Beijing are being used for illegal parking, the scooters just spill out anywhere. Anyways, these buses I assume would only travel on very well regulated roads (if at all, this bus has been vapor for more than a few years now).
Twitter made this same threat with San Francisco when it extorted us for corporate welfare. In reality we should have a tax system which rewards job creation and creates very stiff penalties for trying to sneak out of paying for the infrastructure which makes their profits possible.
When I visited Shanghai a couple of years ago, I was taught to never, ever look directly at a car as the driver would take that as a "you've seen me, I can go first"-signal. Instead i was supposed to only sneak peeks at the traffic, never let them know I saw them coming, which would make them stop. I was only there for about three weeks so i can't really testify for the long term effectiveness, but at least I'm still here to share that anecdata, so there's something at least. :-)
> The 31-year-old paralegal and her husband, an apprentice plumber, live in a two-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot (111-square-meter) apartment

They can't afford kids? I have lived in 83-square-meter apartment with my wife and two kids and a I had a friggin' separate home office room to work from home. It wasn't ideal (we have moved when the youngest turned 5, so we wanted to give them separate bedrooms), but it worked pretty well. Granted, it was in Norway, not US, but one can't help thinking that people just don't know how to use the space they have.
It's hard... though, if you work in a mixed environment where different devs use different browsers, some things are better.

Just the same, it's hard to convince people not to bring in the jungle for the banana (appropriated analogy). With today's tooling, it's very easy to use smaller frameworks, and piece together what you need.. but in goes angular, jQuery, lodash and a few other large libraries for good measure. About the only one I'm guilty of bringing in these days is moment... and most of that is because the internals for Date are poorly lacking (maybe it's time to standardize some non-mutating, moment-like ES extensions to Date already).
"...recently fabricated a flexible transistor that operates at 110 gigahertz"

I know there have been other transistors from R&D projects which operate at 690+ ghz as well. But does anyone with much better EE and chip manufacturing experience than me know how this 110 ghz transistor might translate to actual chip/IC speeds, if this thing were scaled up and produced?

> The rule of law, private property protections, and fair courts count for a lot in the wealth game.

I think this is a more nuanced issue. For instance, for the most part, China seems like libertarian paradise, but try and fuck with food supply and you'll get sentenced to death. Which, honestly, I consider fair. In the West, we're too far on the other end of the spectrum - overregulation of honest businesses and not enough punishment for dishonest entrepreneurs. Regarding private property protections, we have this IMO absurd notion of intellectual property, which hinders innovation and progress on our side, sometimes in pretty ridiculous ways (Elsevier comes to mind). As for fair courts, I had (thankfully) zero experience with those in China so I don't know how bad it is there, but the justice system in Western countries isn't looking peachy either.
Ask HN: What is the most underrated GitHub repo you found lately?
I've recently started to browse Github for inspiration and see what others are building. I've found a lot of great repos that in my opinion are underrated and should receive some sort of promotion and sometimes some help in their code.

"All other things (education, market) being equal, the biggest pool should generate the most hits, and the most advancement.
reply"

The problem is there are many, many, many factors. Too many to count.

'Education' - even that is hardly comparable. Rote learning/memorization, a culture of copying vs. a culture of learning in innovation. I'm not saying one is better or that one country is necessarily more of the other, just giving one small example of quite radically differentiation even in one comparable vertical.

It's really hard to compare US and China tech side by side.

I think it's best to just look at them independently.
