Decentralized Autonomous Organization – the value of early contribution
I am trying to figure out the best way to reward early contributors during the development phase of a DAO.
The DAO has gotten some funding already but not enough to reward people with fiat money only. The "salary" needs to comprise of mainly future pretokens. This might be a good solution when we don’t know how big the “pie” will be.
Pretokens will be converted to stakeholder tokens at the point of valuation of the project, during ICO or open investment stage. These tokens are for investment and will be traded on exchanges with the potential of upscale or downscale depending on the success of the project.

Now, the questions are:

1. what is the value of the contributor's time in pretokens. If a contributor would earn $100k/year in a "normal" company what would be the real value of her/his salary? For example, a 10% fiat-90% pretoken ratio taking into account the future value, risk of failure etc. The planned start date of the token trading on exchanges is 1 year from now.

2. If contributors are all around the world, should we consider the location when we set the salary or should it be universal?

3. How should we track the hours worked?

This "must be busy" mindset and 50+ hour work weeks is so utterly alien and wrong to me, and I'm glad I feel this way.

I would never let a job get in the way of family and social experiences, in the way of my life. Relaxation and leisure time is absolutely non-negotiable for me, I would never give up on a concert or culinary experience or anything else for something as mundane as work.

I think this mindset has also gifted me with more patience and more ability to not be bored, compared to most of my peers. Luckily, all of my friends share my mindset, anyone too work-obsessed simply doesn't fit in for long.

I am a slacker, and I enjoy it very much.

Yup. I still remember the day I found out about constraints, and I became kind of angry nobody had told me about this before.

Deeplearning4j 1.0.0-alpha Release Notes
My last job, I had so much more free time. I finished at 4 each day and sometimes took 3 hour lunches. Someone would text me in another city and ask if I could come through and meet them. I would often just walk out of work (it wasn't a problem) and go meet them. If it meant that I didn't get back to the office that day, so be it.

There was lots of time spent with friends and family, it was great.

My current job, I eat lunch at my desk and spend so much less time with friends and family. A couple of months ago I was working from 8AM to 3:30AM, then was back to the office for 8AM the following day.

I make more money now, but I was so much happier before.

I often think about just quitting work and taking a year or two off, just do me things and figure stuff out. What I want from life, what my prioritie are etc.

But then I worry if you take that long off, how hard would it be to get back to work afterwards? Are employers even going to entertain my CV

It's fascinating that music elicits strong effects on some people, and none whatsoever to others.

When I hear someone say "I don't much care about music" it's so hard to understand, as personally I feel it's a direct plug to emotions like none other. I regularly experience frissons when listening to an interesting piece - I've always thought everybody did! - and it can change my mood dramatically and instantly. I always feel I should listen to MORE music, but it's such an all-encompassing activity I can't do much while music's around. Some people fall asleep to music, and my brain instead just goes into (positive) overdrive.

EDIT: an anecdote about frissons: ages ago under the influence of strong psychedelics my frissons turned into multiple intense full body orgasms-like waves of pleasure, and it was clearly related to the music I was listening to, the relationship between instruments and the harmony and movement of dissonant sounds to final resolution. Such an amazing, transcendent experience I'll remember all my life. I've never been able to listen to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain album again after that day.

And all this has no clear value for survival? How did it evolve? Is there anything else we do, apart from appreciating "aesthetics", that has no survival reason?

This is not true. I realize that Backpage was the platform that had the largest audience after red book was shut down. If you look at sites in Germany and Australia the sex worker doesn’t have to hide since laws protect them. Legalizing sex work is a different path than condoning slavery.
1. Just like any other startup, you're either paid salary or equity ( shares or options ) or some combination. Salary is considered mostly risk-less, you get paid on some schedule and you're never going to lose more than a paycheck. Equity is considerably more risky ( as the value of that equity can go to zero - in fact odds say that it will MOST LIKELY go to zero ), and for taking that risk, your potential upside should CONSIDERABLE so as to make that option a worthwhile endeavor. I view the "tokens" or whatnot as equity, and I think they should be treated as such.

2. It's not unheard of to consider location ( and therefore cost of living ) when setting salary / equity... in all fairness I personally think it should be universal instead. My argument is why should someone get paid more for CHOOSING to live somewhere more expensive? Shall I then just CHOOSE to live in a castle in Singapore and get paid exponentially more than the guy sharing a one room apartment in Nicaragua?

3. The honor system should be your go-to solution there, I mean if you can't trust your workers then what? That fact aside, why does the hours worked even matter? Shouldn't compensation be based on total value created for the company instead?

Just my 2 cents, hope it helps you.

I tend to call Typescript's type system "pragmatic typing":

- type inference

- structural types

- union and intersection types

- important: easy escape hatches such as trivial cast to `any` or the ability to write your own type definitions for almost any random piece of code including third party libs

Type purists may scoff at Typescript's type system, but it's there, it mostly works, it's very easy to get started with, it's reasonably fast. I would personally wish for exhaustive type checking, and I wouldn't be surprised if I get my wish sometime in the future.

Another rather pragmatically typed language is OCaml/ReasonML

Of course there are always exceptions.

By "nobody" I meant "nobody representative of a noteworthy population in statistics".

Even if you do not trust the scientific consensus regarding nutrion (all recommend fruits (sugar) and vegetables, most recommend a whole food plant based diet, most warn against a high fat diet, most warn against animal products in large quantities) there are other reasons for avoiding animal products:

- Ethics. An animal is a sentient emotional being. Like a human.

- Destruction of the environment. E.g. waste of food by feeding animals, deforestation, water pollution, greenhouse gas emission.

- Waste of effictive antibiotics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4638249/

- Animal products are expensive even if you buy the lowest quality.

Ask HN: Which AI initiatives are ethical and morally sound?
Elon Musk is drawing attention to this excellent documentary on the ongoing AI revolution, a documentary that brings it all together:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/982119546420002817

(Free to watch until Sunday night EST, April 8)

The gist: AI is just a technology that can be used for good and for bad purposes. But the AI field is mostly (entirely?) unregulated.

The AI revolution will have an exponentially bigger impact on humanity than tech revolutions that came before it.

Question: Given the huge implications, are there any (large) AI projects that take the ethical and moral aspects into account in their development?

> Chrome and Firefox both implement (or are implementing) DNS over HTTPS, which hides what domains you're visiting by passing the request encrypted through a provider such as Google.

DNS over HTTPS doesn't actually hide the domains you're visiting, because TLS SNI means the server hostname is sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.

And for major sites, they probably aren't sharing their public IPs with other sites, hence the ISP can know what site you're connecting to via knowing what IP you're sending datagrams to.
> You can't add constraint which conflict with old data

Of course you can. For example, constraints inside triggers. A simple insert trigger will only apply on records going forward.

Also, the reason why you bother with "additional" constraints by implementing them on the database is because the database is typically the thing that can enforce them. Unless you go out of your way to roll your own single-write via queue or something.

I'm not sure I agree with your take-away since you can just drop constraints. Easy come, easy go. Meanwhile bad data is easy come and potentially a nightmare to fix.

Does this report include any defense from Backpage, and if not, why do you find it persuasive? Do you believe that the people compiling the report were altruist agenda-less saints?
It's an interesting question. It seems that developers are quite able to cope with weird type systems, moreover most of them don't even think about it or even care.

A simple example of python2 that would make developers brought up on a healthy diet of haskell cringe is this:

>>> for x in range(100): print type(1<<x)

And yet, pythonistas seem to mind nor bother.
Well, all art is basically things with no clear value for survival. You could even say that's the definition of it :-)
Been there, done that. I'm currently starting to work again.

Honestly, the time off has been amazing (more than I expected), but it's hard to overstate how hard it is to readjust now. Employers haven't been a problem, it's about myself: I'm experiencing anxiety attacks for the first time in my life and I'm worried I'm going to slip into depression - something I've never gone through before.

If you want my advice: If you've got some savings you can afford to spend, try to actively search for a job that is more bearable, and yet sustainable long term.

It shouldn't require you leaving your current job until you find a new one, but rather you want your money to act as a mattress to fall back on if things go south so you can try new things. NEVER let your savings drop below a certain threshold, because going to work is way more manageable if you can tell yourself that you can walk away if you really need it. Once that possibility is gone you feel like a slave.

I've always started by consulting experts, i.e. people who already know how to do it and can instruct you. Want to learn how to build engines...? Try working with a master mechanic for a while... this leans on the apprenticeship principle, for a reason, it's a tried and true way to learn.

If you can't get that ( or as a supplement to the above ), try reverse engineering something, for example disassemble a dishwasher and study how/why each part or piece makes up the whole, until you understand it completely. Governments and competitive companies sometimes employ this tactic to gain knowledge in areas where they are deficient or far behind.

When all else fails and you can't learn under an expert and have no access to the products or tools, you could always fall back on internet videos, online classes, or even book learning.

Good luck!

> has no survival reason?

This is going to sound crazy but maybe it does have a survival reason. In societies where music is enjoyed (all major societies today), music has the capacity to not only gather people but also have them experience a shared emotion or thought. Not only that, but music has the capacity to carry a story through time, from generation to generation, and thus the capacity to carry the morals of that story through time too.

Maybe music is a way to disseminate important cultural information across a population and across time, and the societies that did not have music were weaker (eg. due to less shared morals across the society and across time) and therefore lost when they were confronted in battle by a society with music. If music is used in war to inspire courage in soldiers, perhaps it has a function beyond aesthetics and is actually used for survival, in a literal darwinian sense.

That example isn't a type problem. With a numeric tower and polymorphic arithmetic operators, it's to be expected in a dynamic type system.

The type systems we're talking about in the OP article are about proofs that can be made over the code before it is ever executed. Dynamic type systems make few claims here so they don't cause issues. What does cause issues is asserting something to be proven true, but having compositions in the language that make the assertion false.

Yes, okay, you have control, but when nobody implements relatively basic defence-in-depth mitigations that have been available on Windows (especially) and macOS for over a decade it's just sad and undermines the argument that its security is better.
Very good to know, thanks. I tried it and indeed you are correct.
Your comments are misleading. What you call "knowingly facilitated" is described in the report as not being zealous enough in removing anything that may or may not be child sex related.

Here is an example of the deceitful language and assertions that you are championing:

"Internal correspondence also suggests Backpage believes it is better that
child sex trafficking take place on its website than elsewhere. In 2011, in response
to a request from the Seattle Police Chief to require photo ID whenever a user
submits a photo for an ad, Padilla expressed doubt to Ferrer and Hyer that such a
system would be useful—it might create a “false sense of security.” But he went
on to add the following:

And even if an age verification was a deterrent to someone
hoping to post an ad on Backpage to traffic a minor, it doesn’t
mean they’re going to stop trying to traffic a minor. It only
means they won’t be doing it on our site, where Backpage,
NCMEC and law enforcement are in the best position to put an
actual stop to the crime."

And another:

"The record also contains substantial evidence that, as a matter of policy,
Backpage often chose to err against reporting potential child exploitation. As the
Subcommittee reported in connection with its November 2015 hearing, in June 2012
Backpage instructed its outsourced third-party moderators only to delete suspected
child-sex advertisements “IF YOU REALLY VERY SURE THE PERSON IS
UNDERAGE.” In a similar email, a Backpage supervisor instructed internal
moderation staff: “Young ads do not get deleted unless they are clearly a
child.”"

The whole report about "knowingly facilitating" sex trafficking is about them acknowledging the possibility that some people may be using the site for sex trafficking(which is just reality), and then questioning the demands of activists to ban a broad spectrum of ads because they may be related to child sex trafficking.

Backpage was, quite clearly, trying to maintain its business of prostitution ads. Trying to somehow link them to "child sex trafficking" is disingenuous.
Because it’s obvious. Successful people like to be around other successful people (even if you aren’t successful, at least your kids might intermingle with theirs), and people like mountains, beaches, and temperate climates with low humidity. Not much more to it than that. Also, the political views of the southeast US aren’t as frequently shared with academics and those working in technology.
