If he tells you to fuck off, there are numerous ways to get back at him. In the real world, you'd call your protection agency, which would in turn call his protection agency and they would settle the dispute for you (without actually going to war with each other, as some people would suggest). The difference from the current system would be that you wouldn't have a monopoly on laws and people would be compensated for their inconvenience.
Ilya Grigorik talks about how the Gmail devs keep all their JS modular, so that when a change really needs to be made on the live web-app; only one small file needs to be affected. Another huge JS file does not need to be sent down the wire. If you modify a massive file, you inadvertently DDOS your own server.

How well will "Differential Updates" work for minified files?
This breakdowns tremendously in other situations, mainly because of imperfect information. Humans are notoriously bad at pricing things. Lets say I'm a very wealthy man and I'm also a serial killer. In your example, I assume I could just pay any amount of money to kill someone. I'm a wealthy guy, and I go around killing 8 year olds and paying the parents huge sums of money (10 - 20 million dollars, who would refuse?)

However, what is the real price of an 8 year old boy? Lets say I go and kill little Mark Zuckerberg. By doing so I have zapped almost 100B dollars from the economy and paid his parents 10-20 million. I'm doing a disservice to everyone by killing him, should I also pay everyone who Zuckerberg will make a future millionaire, how will I know this?

Even in your example, how does his neighbor know what the perceived cost of your action are? What if his property value goes down, because of your party and noise making? How will ever be able to calculate that cost? What if he has his elderly sick mother staying over the weekend? How does he put a price on his mother's piece of mind?

Great research from IBM here. Antibiotic resistance is a prevalent problem in our society today, with doctors prescribing antibiotics to everyone for everything (to no fault of their own - because of patient demand).

Nanotechnology combining with advanced materials will lead to a better understanding of pathogens and ultimately how to eradicate them. These are great steps towards solving many real and serious issues facing society today. It's certainly refreshing to see different disciplines coming together to move us forward.

It's just a kind of "binary search" among different characteristics.

Every answer narrows down the number of the persons. "Man or woman", for example, halfs the available search space. The subject being "French" makes it 100 times smaller (ignore all non-French entries in its database), etc.

Plus, depending of how the coded it, it can learn new people too (it asks you if it can't guess after enough tries). Most people (and it's used by 100s of thousands) ask for the same persons more or less (current stars, politicians, famous authors and painters, musicians, religious figures, comic heroes etc).

And what people consider "obscure" is not always really obscure either.
E.g some might think that, say, Captain Beefheart is obscure. And compared to Justin Bieber he is. But he too is known by hundrends of thousands, so, he's not really difficult to find and store in a database of musicians.

I've had it stumble several times with more obscure people (e.g out of mainstream musicians), and in the end it gave up and asked me their names.

We aren't _that_ far off. Not in terms of the Star Trek conceptual world government ideology, but more the hidden organisations that are sponsored by corporations, such as those behind the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

If _they_ believe that Bitcoin places a threat upon their positions of power, then Bitcoin will be crushed and if they can't crush it, they'll make it illegal. Or they'll do it the German way, and they'll allow it, but tax it to fuck.
Sadly this is a general trend though. In the past we used to buy things, like software. Now everything is subscription based and that sucks for consumers. Look at Billings (invoicing app) for example. It used to be reasonably priced as a download, now you have to buy a monthly subscription which ends up being much more expensive than before AND they can cut you off from your own data.

This SaaS trend is good for businesses and bad for consumers (there are advantages). It is even more evil in 'real life' as Renault is doing.
I would think the upsell happens in email before, during the shopping experience, or completely after the online checkout is done, not during the checkout process. Upsell during checkout is kind of a grocery store concept. At least those is common in my industry.

As it's hinted to at the end of the article, better consumer habit tracking and targeted discounted low friction shopping cart adds with would probably make up for a lot of what is lost trying to port real world shopping behaviors into online stores (an utterly different experience)
Price is subjective and only depends on your action. If you take a deal, it means you are satisfied with the price. There is no real price.

I'm pretty sure a large portion of society would bet against you if you decided to kill an 8 year old boy. You would never have enough money to outbid the society. It doesn't matter how much money you pay to the parents, the society would still be willing to put you in jail, since it doesn't want people killing other people, no matter how rich they are.

My first instinct is "how bad is the motivating problem, really?". How often do you have a single massive JS file where a small number of lines change?

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, but starting with a case study would be nice rather than jumping in with "we've completely changed everything about how script files are delivered, it's amazing and we have cool graphics to prove it". The dinosaur looks a bit hand-wavy.

There are a lot more moving parts, a lost more surface area for things to go wrong, etc. Yes, downloading huge JS files is a problem, but you're going to have to download them one way or another.

It is a serious question. Until of now, no project of the scale of public works has been taken by any private cooperation anywhere in world.

>How will we get Harmony related changes into Chrome?

Very carefully ;-). V8 is carefully tuned for speed with the current
Javascript standard rather than flexibility--this makes it very difficult to make experimental changes. We are considering pre-processors and a number of other options, but ultimately the precise solution is still an open question.

What this translates to is: even after it's finalized as a spec, forget using ES6 anytime soon for web development.

Chrome will lag its ass -- as it already does, since FF has already implemented tons of ES6 stuff and V8 only a tiny subset.

I hope Safari and IE also move things forward and force Google's hand, but I don't see that really happening.

So, ES6? Forget about it for the next 5 years.

I was assuming the rental contracts would be long-term enough to guarantee pricing and availability for the life of the car, e.g. a 10 year fixed price contract with the option to renew at the same price for another 10 years.

It's a nascent industry at the moment - I'm not sure how it will play out. Presumably some day battery lives will be proven, manufacturer reputations will be established, and consumers and regulators will know what to look for, check and standardise. Once the technology risks and information asymmetries are reduced, passing the risks to manufacturers will be less appealing and we might all end up paying up front for our 30-year batteries.

For SaaS laws that force vendors to offer the ability to export (and delete) a user's data seem inevitable in the long run though.

In real world, your neighbor is the local warlord, and you cannot possibly summon enough amount of army to counter his army.

Great! We already do this manually for mobile sites so I will definitely try it out.

> and serve differential updates

I didn't understand this part.
So would the same thing happen in the US if people woke up tomorrow and realized there is no government and they don't need one? Because, you see, a weak/strong government says nothing about the well being of the people. You can have very strong governments, yet people would be suffering a lot more under those regimes.
Differential updates means that only line changes in your javascript will have to be downloaded instead of downloading entire files.
At least two concrete reasons:

1. No cgo required.
2. Portable to any platform Go runs on that V8 doesn't.

That's right. Government through banks has to issue new money just to keep up and keep prices of consumer goods fairly constant and prevent deflation which is considered bad because last few times people tended to stuff cash in mattresses then and there was not enough physical cash left on the market to facilitate the trades. Also deflation increases tendency of consumers to save what they earned and noone in America wants that.
Good question, definitely needed to know before using.

> Until of now, no project of the scale of public works has been taken by any private cooperation anywhere in world.

I suspect one reason for that is that their primary competitor is government, which often has major advantages, like the legal authority to seize property right right of ways and virtually endless funds through taxation and debt.

I don't think that any proposals would claim that all things created by government would exist in a stateless society. Remember, it's possible to not have things like intercontinental freeways but to instead have more economically efficient solutions. The road system in the US, for example, isn't some example of "pure economic good." Freeways require people in cities to subsidize people in rural areas. They also are a massive subsidy to the automobile industry, and a disaster for the rail industry. It's conceivable that a much different (and more efficient) organization of society could emerge without the government creating what it judges to be the "best" public works.

Oh, so it would be just like the 90s in Russia? Where you would pay your "protection agency" to "settle the dispute" for you, right? Are you old enough to remember how it used to work those days?

I like the idea of the Dollar as "left[-wing] money", that tickled me.

This is ridiculous. Has no one on HN worked at a small company before? Sometimes there's only enough budget and only enough work for one tech guy. You don't need to hire a DBA if there's only 40 hours of DBA work a year to do. Same thing for networking. But if there's more than 8 hours of DBA or networking work a year then it's probably a good idea to hire someone who has a reasonable amount of familiarity with it and isn't silo'd into dev work so hard they would struggle with shifting gears.

I don't get how people are translating how he worked around 80 hours a week for a very brief period into some sort of hours requirement or expectation for the job. That's not even remotely what he said.
The psychology of light is much more complicated than just number of lumens being thrown about. Because HPS lamps throw light in pretty narrowly defined bands, people feel less comfortable, and aren't able to notice things as well compared to light that is lower wattage, but more full spectrum ( http://www.lrc.rpi.edu/researchAreas/pdf/GrotonFinalReport.p... ). Like a lot of things, quality of light counts more than quantity.

Russia in the 90s wasn't absence of government. It was a curious mix of government and bandits, which, of course, continued into our days. Except that now it's actually much easier to identify the bad guys: they are wearing a uniform.

But the point is, you can't just burn a church in a village and expect people to become atheists. Which is an analogy for what happened with the USSR. People got their freedom, but they had no idea what to do with it. So it was gradually taken back from them again.

How? Where are these mythical people suffering under good governments? These people who are enslaved by theft of taxes? As a rule of thumb, people living in countries with strong social democracies, with strong rule of law (enforced by strong government) are the healthiest, the happiest, the most well fed, innovators of science who have launched humanity beyond earth and touched the stars.

On the other hand, we have places with weak rule of law, where the governments are corrupts, or cult of personality places men above law. These are the places where people suffer, have little hope or freedom to progress and have constant boot of power pressed on their face.

If strong government is what is stopping the utopia, why is there no such utopia in Somalia? I am finding it very hard to match reality with your claims.

My qualms are not about whether such a society working starting now, since they would be building upon a foundation (infrastructure, ideas to founders due to education from public institutions, a generally prosperous society, etc.) already laid by previous generations, with the help of (or despite hindrance by) government institutions. I do wonder though whether some projects of grand scale that work for the greater good at the detriment of or discomfort of a disadvantaged few, e.g. roads or railway lines cutting through people's property would work in such a society, really (even now with eminent domain and coercion at work, the NIMBY brigade manages to block a large numer of such projects). One may say that if you offered a high enough price people would agree to sell the land, but there are many reasons people would refuse to let go (sentimental reasons, ancestors' burial grounds, etc.). I'll be the first to admit I'm ignorant about these ideas, though.
