Not all skills are equal - they have no innovation in terms of quantifying time/skills? I feel like they'll end up re-inventing money and markets in order to do so.
For this reason I'm doubtful of this sites longterm future.
If you're interested in this you should check out Chris Eliasmith's lab - they have a Neural Engineering Framework and NENGO, which in it's current implementation is like a Python to neural network compiler.
You can remove representational democracy and voting from the core. Instead replacing it with independent policymaking and voluntary agreements of smart contracts, you implicitly 'vote' by your use of a contract. Common Law in a real sense becomes the most popular contracts for any given period.
One-size-fits all policies won't be a thing in the future and we will have very different cultures operating under very different laws occupying the same physical space.
It's not about utopia but it certainly makes things far more liquid, transparent and cryptographically secure (unbreakable promises). It opens governance right up for innovation so we can at least iterate faster in a voluntary manner.
Well, isn't the bounty is crowdfunded? So it's the public asking for this, via WikiLeaks. The press value of this move puts the issue in the media spotlight which also good for the issue in public favour, WikiLeaks using it's name makes more sense from a media perspective as opposed to "some random assortment of people".
Really, the TPP should be public, shouldn't we be questioning the trust of the Governments?
Well the problem is that policy making is completely institutionalized and only serves the 1%, which is why software like Ethereum is going to be so important in the future. It will democratize policy making and put it in the hands of everyone. As well as means to articulate any other form of meetings of the minds.
Ethereum isn't about distributed servers. It's not like a VPS. Like Bitcoin is to banks, Ethereum is like to any contract or transaction in the meeting of the minds.
I've noticed that there is a big "can do" factor in Indian culture - until you find out there it's more like "never done it before but willing to try and you'll have to pay me for my time writing spaghetti-surprise code"
Hi Matt - I'm an employer from RAC and quite frankly I've hated freelancer ever since you acquired vworker.
I had so many "points" from my rac account usage I could buy time to skype call the freelancer CEO - so I did - and it was never fulfilled, even after me trying to contact support about it multiple times.
The gamification angle? please it just gets in the way (although the new site design it's less obnoxious)
The quality of freelancers is garbage and freelancer.com just doesn't have the same level of targeting rac/vworker had to weed out the useless people.
Sorry for such a negative post, I could say worse, but it's just been very painful experience for me ever since that acquisition. To the point where I barely post jobs anymore and find alternate ways to hire.

If you don't mind going to places like, adjkdhad3fnnkjd.com for all your future services, at which point domains lose their intended use, you might as well just remember and type out the ip number.
