Right, but this is facebook, and it's breaking auth. This is the company that said that if there's a million dollar bug, they will pay out for it. I'm not saying this is a million dollar bug, but breaking auth is up there on things that are bad and is probably worth a bit more than 5k.

It doesn't matter, since the topic was whether being a member state ensures moderation.
The tragedy of the anti-commons, which is part of what drives all this, necessitates government action over the desires of stakeholders, so while we could avoid "catastrophe," we're unlikely to make every stakeholder involved happy. Things like eminent domain, actual public housing (need to repeal QWHRA), and new policies that support renting (Germany, Singapore, and Austria are great examples of quite varied housing policy that manage to give renters relatively cheap housing.)

>How in the world did the court come up with a $140M sum for the settlement? This seems so excessive, it is actually comical.

+1. I feel like supporters of this decision are not really thinking about the numbers and would feel the same whether it was $1M , $10M, or $500M. The numbers are a pretty big part of this story though. I wonder what the largest emotional distress claim ever paid is. Hulk Hogan's distress is not more valuable because he is a celebrity.

I also find the economic damages highly suspect. The defense was not allowed to show the video of Hogan using racial slurs that Gawker also published, which probably hurt his celebrity status more than the sex tape.
“Invent a new version of the universe” is normally not
permitted by the software protocol, which is why this
involves a client update and a hard fork.

To have "separate universes" is to have separate blockchains with different genesis blocks. There's an incentive to do just that with Ethereum[1] since the effective doubling of funds (X ETH on each chain) is bound to cause disruption.

Anything other than a new fork is going to fail for the reasons the author mentions.

400 KB is a very aggressive target. I don't think anything in SubstrateVM would absolutely prohibit that, but currently our images are larger.

Some of this is just simply a design trade-off. E.g., in JRuby+Truffle, we've implemented much of the core library in Ruby. This has allowed us to achieve a high level of language compatibility in a fairly short period of time -- implementing 3,000 core library methods in Java would be quite the undertaking. As a consequence, the static binary must include those full Ruby sources (compressed, but they're not in an optimized bytecode format).

Having said that, if we wanted to optimize for size over a restricted subset of the language (think mruby), that would be straightforward to do.
> If you're working on Facebook security, is that a bet you're willing to take?

Apparently so. That's what they're offering and paying. The entity that most benefits from FB security is FB, and they seem to be OK doing this.
What if someone else was offering $10,000 for Facebook bugs, so they could exploit them? This bug could probably result in more than $5,000 in damages to the Facebook brand.
Ok then, what about the health of your consumers (not just medically)? Is the community at large not an asset we all tap in to every day?

There's an excellent video on him around, I'll see if I can't turn that up. Here: "The Secret History of Silicon Valley", tech talk at Google: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hFSPHfZQpIQ

Briefly:

UC Berkely and Stanford, each of which had (and have) excellent engineering deparments. Other colleges, universities, junior colleges, and public schools were from the 1950s through 1970s excellent. Most have been faltering since the 1980s.

Moffet Airfield. Already established by WWI and home to airship activity.

World War II. An immense industrial capacity built up, many defense industries, and a nascent technology cluster.

Amazing weather. There's little else in the US, or anywhere in the world, which can compete.

(For all the specific local boosters out there: I didn't say no places, I said "little else".)

Cheap housing. Up through the 1970s, California had ample room to grow, and things didn't start getting particularly nuts until the 1980s and 1990s. Since 1995, it's simply been insane.

Freeways. For a time it was possible to get around. That's no longer particularly the case. BART helps. Caltrain doesn't hurt too much. Both are entirely inadequate.

The ability to work from anywhere is only about 10 years old. The need for tech industry is closer to 50-60 years old, and local efficiencies, economies of scale, job-mobility, etc., all happen and matter.
Rich text is a pretty strong negative, for me!
The reality, every blockchain is vulnerable to such forking. The system is still decentralized, as the miners have to make their choice. However, the Ethereum Foundation decided to force the fork upon geth users, as the software defaults to pro-fork. So in effect a lot of users will be coerced into forking, without knowing.

This particular fork is political and not technical. The previous ETH forks were modifications to the protocol. The current fork is a modification to the account balances. The rich Ethereum fanatics are completely and absurdly delusional in thinking this will be a great event in their history. To me, the canonical chain is all but dead. The protocol will survive, just not on this chain.

I've given a talk at Papers We Love about Bloom Filters (http://paperswelove.org/2015/video/armon-dadgar-on-bloom-fil...) for those wanting to learn more. There have been quite a few follow on extensions to standard bloom filters that address some of the shortcomings mentioned here.

For example, the cost of having K hash functions can be avoided with some simple math. This is discussed in "Less Hashing, Same Performance" (http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/%7Ekirsch/pubs/bbbf/esa06.pdf). You can also avoid the FPP rate from saturating at 100% using a technique called "Scalable Bloom Filters" (http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/members/cbm/ps/dbloom.pdf). The basic idea is you start with a small BF and layer on progressively larger filters. This also reduces the memory you need to allocate up front without worrying about the FPP rate saturating. As others have mentioned, Counting Bloom Filters allow for counts and deletion as well. The basic point is that there has been a _lot_ of additional work on bloom filters. One of my favorites is "Adaptive Range Filters" (http://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol6/p1714-kossmann.pdf).

At an advertising company I previously worked for, we relied on bloom filters and hyperloglogs quite heavily for our realtime analytics pipeline. We open sourced our C daemons (https://github.com/armon/bloomd and https://github.com/armon/hlld) which have been running in production for several years.

It seems like you're gauging your customers. Assuming you book 3 months out, that's a 40% interest rate (or so). It's quite sad the most vulnerable would be stuck paying that instead of a credit card loan for 3 months.
I'd love to agree. But with IRC you've no guarantee, for instance, that an offline user will receive notifications when they sign in (plus multi client handling).

Slack has search for history, which is huge. No more "eh we talked about it".

Onprem is great. But it's a hindrance for quick adoption.

I'd love if an open system would win. I've no love for Slack and don't use it. (Have used hipchat; what a UI mess like all of their products.) But I guess no one stepped up with an IRC-based platform that could compete.
It may well be that responding in Brazilian Portuguese or via a Brazilian lawsuit would have weakened their case that they do not have a presence in the country.

And yes, it's also possible that it's just an arrogant law firm (always a possibility), but it's also possible that their counsel advised them specifically not to retain a Brazilian-speaking attorney, or sworn translator into Brazilian Portuguese (who typically would have some ties to the country).

Another possibility, frankly, after the last time ended up with one of their executives arrested for contempt of court, is that Facebook/WhatsApp may not have wanted to risk the freedom of some poor freelance translator in Brazil, who risked being hauled off to jail for having his name on the translation (required for legal translations in most countries).
> Right but it will remove the jerks from the community.

How, exactly? The CoC does nothing but codify someone's values for a community. It doesn't actually do anything, other than state a set of unacceptable behaviors and potential solutions to those behaviors. It's still up to the contributors to actually act, and if your community is good in the first place, they won't need the prompting of a CoC to act against jerks.

> How do you imagine this happening?

Easily - a CoC leaves a lot of grey areas, which provide plenty of room for griefing and harassment which isn't technically against the CoC. And if an action falls within that grey area, someone, or several someones, has to take time and not just say "this is bad", they have to tie that judgement back into the CoC somehow. It's even worse when there are consequences in the CoC for "lack of enforcement of the CoC" - being perceived as doing nothing can remove someone as a contributor. It's worth remembering, we're (mostly) developers, not lawyers.

> Except the people doing it are complaining about not being allowed to be jerks.

Are most of the people in this thread of comments complaining about not being able to harass or abuse other people? Or are they raising concerns about the ambiguous nature of these CoCs, and the perceived unnecessity? More specifically, how much time did Matz have to take out of his development schedule just to address the complaints against Ruby's CoC?

Houston is a large city just because it's sprawlville (to a ridiculous degree, city limits is an astounding 627 sq mi). It's not a fair comparison to an urbanized city like Boston or SF (that both have 5+ times the density).

Of course not. Ethereum failed, spectacularly. Ethereum made as clear-cut and direct a statement of purpose and of conditions for success and failure as possible, and they failed. Instead of accepting that fact and moving on zealots have refused to believe that they could be wrong or that their utopian ideals could be flawed in any way. Like most zealous utopians they'll be willing to accept a horrific amount of damage and destruction before seeing reality.

The unsurprising problem is that the bay area isn't one of the European cities that grew dense and people therefore like to take as an example. It's very like that if the bay area want to grow significantly it has to do so with a business district on mostly vacant land.
The flipside is to slowly criminalize everyday activity. I've seen that trend in the US (apart from the decriminalization of marijuana, which I'm still surprised by).

As an example, here in Georgia you can theoretically be ticketed for going too slow and too fast at the same time; traffic law says don't impede the flow of traffic, even if said traffic is going 20+ over the limit. So if you're going 5 over and everyone else is going 20 over, you're at risk of getting both tickets.

I realize that traffic infractions are not what most consider crimes, but it scales to misdemeanor and even felony offenses as well. "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime."

The problem is retrofitting density.

Toronto is trying to quickly deal with it's increase in demand for housing. It can either try to build 1000 5-story buildings, or 100 50-story buildings. Which do you think is easier to do (financially, politically, everything else...).

It's all well and good to say "neighbourhoods with thousands of medium density buildings would be better", but we have to deal with what we currently have.

Now, long term I'm 100% in agreement with you. We need to modify regulations to say that new things must be of a certain density minimum, to gradually increase density everywhere. Consider taxing property in part based on density maybe? But in the short-term, towers have to go up or no one will be able to afford to live here next year.

As for comparing Montreal prices to Toronto prices: again that goes back to supply and demand. If Montreal had the immigration rates Toronto does (5,000 new people per month is the estimate I heard, and that's just from abroad), you wouldn't have cheap rentals. If Toronto hadn't worked hard to build towers, prices would look like the Bay Area.
But if the calling and stack semantics are different from Java's (and the kind of have to be), than you can't just merge the ASTs. Ruby, provided you don't implement callcc, is almost, if not entirely identical in calling convention to C. So if truffle supports magical AST merging, as described, I don't think you can implement anything with a different set of conventions to C/Java.

After the scandal originally broke last year VW tried to claim it was the fault of a rogue engineer... Lawsuits by New York, Massachusetts and Maryland argue differently:

> For the first time, the suits connected Volkswagen’s chief executive, Matthias Müller, to the scandal, saying he was aware of a 2006 decision to not outfit Audi vehicles with equipment needed to meet American clean-air standards.

This is notable because Müller was named CEO after the scandal broke.

> The New York complaint claims that more than two dozen Volkswagen engineers and managers were involved in the deception, including Wolfgang Hatz, the former head of engine and transmission development at Volkswagen and Audi; Ulrich Hackenberg, former head of development for Audi; and Heinz-Jakob Neusser, former head of development for the Volkswagen brand. While several executives have been identified by the media, German prosecutors, because of the country’s strict privacy laws, have named only one suspect, Mr. Winterkorn [CEO at time of scandal becoming public].
