Anyone have any idea the date of the paper? I couldn't find it anywhere and it seems like an important piece. I'm guessing "immutability changes everything" would be a phrase that means something different if stated 20 years ago for example.

It references a paper from 2014-2015 so it's at least that new, but still I think it would be easier if the date is shown on the top or something.

I'd say 2015 :)

On the bottom left of the first page:

"7th Biennial Conference on Innovative Data Systems Research (CIDR’15) January 4-7, 2015, Asilomar, California, USA."

He's been working on these ideas for quite some time. Here's a talk of the same name at RICON 2012: http://vimeo.com/52831373

Having said that, this is a pet peeve of mine, too. I get frustrated by technical papers with no dates.

I always rely on the copyright field of the paper for dating. Since these papers go into proceedings, the templates don't provide for (or allow for) obvious dating fields.
