This is the place to look for the standards Oslo sets for road safety and cycling infrastructure.

He did what? The pre-existing know-how to build reusable rockets? Are you confusing SpaceX and Tesla?

I understand the transactional requirements but AFAIK most IDB operations are already async. Open for example:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IDBFactory/...
"The method returns an IDBOpenDBRequest object immediately, and performs the open operation asynchronously."

No mentions of promises? Any reason to rev the spec without promises?

Sounds like you're describing Microsoft Research's CHESS (2007), and a host of related projects (Google's ThreadWeaver for Java).
See http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/chess/ and https://code.google.com/archive/p/thread-weaver/wikis/UsersG...

An interesting companion would be J.L.Austin's "A Plea for Excuses", where he contrasts "by mistake" and "by accident".

If you're not familiar with the author, Dan Davies, he's been a contributor at Crooked Timber (http://crookedtimber.org). A great intro would be his choose-your-own-adventure intro to the Greek financial crisis from 2012 (http://crookedtimber.org/2012/02/16/so-what-would-your-plan-...).
Paul Krugman called this post from 2004 one of the great blog posts of our era: https://dsquareddigest.wordpress.com/2004/05/27/108573518762...

I've been working on a virtual table (not for React, but KnockoutJS) that's designed around needed to virtual scroll over a large number of columns (as well as rows). Really in-progress code at the moment, but getting there...
[Knockout-Virtual-Grid](https://github.com/jstclair/knockout-virtual-grid)
[Live Demo](http://jsbin.com/roheqo/1/)
You can edit that on JsBin and easily increase the columns to 5-10,000. You may want to look at [editableCell](https://github.com/gnab/editableCell) for some of the keyboard shortcuts.

So you've just sterilized the Einsteins...
The whole premise is that "like produces like", which of course is nonsense. Dumb people have brilliant kids, ugly people produce beautiful children, and so on and so forth.
