Seminar • Systems and Networking • Ledgers, Machines, and Markets

Please note: This seminar will take place in DC 1302.

Yaron Minsky, Jane Street

The rise of blockchain has led to a renewed interest in the use of ledgers as a basic data-structure for building distributed systems.

But the use of ledgers to build distributed systems is a very old idea, playing an important role in both academic computer science (in the guise of state machine replication) and in real-world financial technology.

Graduate Inclusivity Group | EDI Trivia Contest

Women in Computer Science and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee are running Graduate Inclusivity Group events once a month for graduate students.

Everyone is welcome to attend the Graduate Inclusivity Group Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity Trivia Contest! Teams can comprise as many as five to six people and will be formed on the fly at the event. The only rule is that members of the same research lab cannot be on the same team.

Can your Wi-Fi devices be used to spy on you?

The many Wi-Fi devices that pervade our homes, workplaces and lives — from phones and smartwatches to TVs and voice assistants to desktops, laptops, tablets, security systems, and more — use an encrypted network to communicate securely, yet despite cryptographic protection they may be leaking sensitive information.
