thehazard··on Lyft lays off 17% of workforce, furloughs hundreds more
You know that California bails out the majority of the rust belt indirectly via State taxes, right? Curious how you consider that in the equation.

Very close minded on crypto, aren't ya?

Bruh, I named one above.

Does Bank of America have a stablecoin not tied to any major fiat currency with over $600MM of value locked in the contract? (Hint: no, no they do not.)

People are using it. By definition it is useful.

...a stablecoin not tied to any major fiat currency with over $600MM of value locked in the contract. That's an extremely successful product by any definition.

You don't think it's a bit biased...?

MakerDAO.
thehazard··on SEC Commissioner's “safe harbor” proposal for ICOs will only enable scammers
Horribly written article -- doesn't go into any detail about the proposal, uses anecdotal data, and author is extremely biased. Seems like the author has an axe to grind. The proposal from Peirce is novel and much superior to the current SAFT framework; The SEC proposal is definitely worth a read.
thehazard··on 0x API – Access all decentralized exchange liquidity through one API
This is awesome for the DeFi community. Glad to have a trusted source to aggregate liquidity from. Seems like liquidity aggregation will be commoditized on a long enough time horizon (think in terms of Plaid/Stripe positioning in legacy finance) and 0x is the first one to position themselves at the top of the funnel.
thehazard··on 0x Launch Kit – Launch your own cryptocurrency exchange or marketplace
0x is seriously the best project in the crypto space right now.

thehazard··on Slate JS – A customizable framework for building rich text editors
Moving from updating state via state diffs (Draft) to discrete operations (Slate) is a huge architectural advantage, among other things.
thehazard··on Slate JS – A customizable framework for building rich text editors
Love Slate. Amazing plugin system -- I've started integrating a backing CRDT with Slate, enabling realtime collab. Would recommend. Coming from Draft, it's a order of magnitude more maintainable and much better developer experience.
