TOP STORY
The Ethereum Network Is DDoS-ing Itself. Sort of. It’s too darn popular, Motherboard’s Dan Oberhaus notes, referencing the Bancor launch on Monday, which raised $153M and was in such high demand that the huge number of transactions being carried out caused the Ethereum network to grind to a halt. Chants of “we want Metropolis” are echoing around the world.

There are real structural concerns hampering the development of the job market today that must be addressed. It is particularly concerning that employers appear reluctant to invest in their workforce and are unwilling to hire less-experienced candidates. If we cannot be prepared to develop new talent, we will lose our ability to protect the economy and society.
