How Public School Fails Students of ColorFor as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher. My mom tells the story of how I would sit all my teddy bears down, facing a whiteboard, and stand up there and teach them. I never considered another career, much less a career in STEM. I have always been bad at spatial stuff (building legos, drawing, etc.), so I never could imagine myself as someone who could create things. While I was in high school, my history class participated in...

Overview and step-by-step developer quickstart.TLDR: In the future of widespread consumer adoption, users will need the freedom to select their chain based on what they value: speed, security, fees, decentralization, UX, etc. So, instead of choosing the chain based on the ecosystem of applications, users will choose the chain to optimize for the things they value. Although there has been a shift from "one chain to rule them all" to a multichain future, it is still unclear who will be part of ...

A Guide To Getting Started With The GraphTL;DR: The Graph is an indexing and query protocol that allows developers to build APIs with data from the blockchain. The data from these APIs can be queried via the GraphQL query API. To build a decentralized API, a developer creates a subgraph that defines:the data source (smart contracts)the data that should be indexedthe events you want to listen forresolvers to execute when specified events are emitted which transform the raw data from the blockc...

I’m just going to say it: there’s been a ton of money thrown into blockchain, but the results have been pathetic in comparison. https://twitter.com/apolynya/status/1576056718810705920?s=20&t=5XbHj1XqRbRpIlE6JSIPnQ The tweet above by Polynya frames this post perfectly: what we have done until now might be all we ever accomplish with blockchain. The technologies we’re working on teeter on the edge of either changing the world or forever remaining a nerdy fad. We’ve succeeded at capturing the wo...
