- ACM Classic Book Series
- Good list although seems short on distributed systems and databases.
- Top 10 Worst C# Features
- This is Erik Lippert’s list. Interesting mix of both syntactic and
semantic issues and highlights tradeoffs in language design.
- Bitcoin XT
- Bitcoin is forking, because the community is divided on how to
handle limits in the current protocol. Bitcoin XT is the proposed
solution. Pretty neat that the vote will be in the blockchain.
- Sidechain Elements
- Interesting approach for extending Bitcoin’s capabilities in a
backwards-compatible way.
- Hackers Post Ashley Madison Data
- Huge privacy breach, possibly more disruptive than the larger
breaches at Target, etc. The
data
includes credit card transactions and personally identifiable
information. What role could Bitcoin have played in anonymity and
security?
