Commenting on your second thought: I hoped that people behind DAO (and Ethereum?) will stick to the terms they themselves proposed but it seems they will push hard for forking the chain (see: Ethereum blog).
The 'Terms' section on DAO website states: The terms of The DAO Creation are set forth in the smart contract code existing on the Ethereum blockchain at 0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413. Nothing in this…
I am not sure. I believe that in many cases similar activity would illegal or at least forbidden by Terms and Conditions. I the DAO case I am not aware of any regulations or laws that the "attacker" has broken.
I have a (maybe naive) question: why is the person draining ETH from DAO called "attacker"? I seems to me that the idea behind smart contracts was to have unambiguous description of what are participants agreeing to.…
I would recommend "Purely Functional Data Structures" by Chris Okasaki. It's not only for functional programmers - there is also a bunch of structures useful in imperative languages.
I wrote 'monad-inspired' structure because of lack of syntactic sugar (do notation). So it basically looks like that: login_action = Write('PASS') >> \ Read('pass') >> \ Guard(lambda v: v['pass'] ==…
I was learning Haskell for last six months (part of my undergraduate studies). It was (and is!) fun and challenging but I had hard time seeing any measurable profits from learning what are and how to use functors,…
Agreed. My point was that uniformity will increase when content will be provided by one company (take Google Glass for example). And you are right - it's partially happening right now. I highly doubt if website can gain…
The article missed one important scene from the video - the last one. Maybe mind control stuff is too far reaching but consider another possibilities: for example censorship. If we would have only one news and data…
