By 2005 most of the team that created Plan 9 and Inferno at Bell Labs were already working at Google. But they were working on other stuff, like Go.

Obama could threaten to veto SOPA, but there is little chance of that, specially after he picked as VP a guy we should thank for the DMCA and the PATRIOT Act. (And after appointing a bunch of ex-MPAA/RIAA lawyers to run the DoJ.)

I would give an arm and a leg for a decent implementation of NoScript for Chrome.

This is not really a 2000x performance "win", this is GNU grep(1) being so bad at dealing with UTF-8 to the point of being basically unusable. The PoSix locale system is a nightmare, but the implementation in GNU coreutils is even worse, wh

That Go does static linking also helps. And in Go-land source code is pretty much the only way things are distributed because it is so fast to build. For example in Go on AppEngine you upload the source for your app, and it is built on Goog

The "self governing city" concept you are talking about is called "Charter Cities", it is quite interesting and one can find more information about it at: http://chartercities.org/

Why is anyone still using XHTML? I thought HTML5 had mercifully obsoleted that. I for a long time bought into XHTML, just to find out that XHTML documents render slower than plain ol' HTML ones, and pretty much nobody was able to produce

Here is another place where Go hits the sweet spot between performance and expressiveness/simplicity. Also by giving you control over how memory is laid out you can be much more efficient both in space and time, and when you need to go even

Except the 'market' for software is not comparable to any other real market because it is built on so called "Intellectual Property" which is basically government granted monopolies. This is again one of the reasons why complex software 'wi
