One side says that a tariff won't increase costs but raising minimum wage will while the other says that raising minimum wage won't increase costs but a tariff will. Can we at least get some internal consistency on how businesses respond to increases in costs from these guys?

July Roadmap Update TL;DR: Jolt is faster, simpler, and more usable than ever.

Debugging cryptography is a blast. By design, the errors tell you 0 information about what failed. A branch of mathematics invented by academia to torment the engineers.

📢⁦ vitalik.eth⁩ gave a shoutout to ⁦⁦ncitron.eth⁩’s work on #Helios during today’s session on the future of Ethereum’s UX. Great work from the ⁦a16z crypto⁩ research team!
