The Waters Weekly Wrap: February 13-19
A look back at the best content published across all the Waters brands.
First, an order of business: the Sell-Side Technology Awards have been extended a week and will close next Friday, EOD, ET. There won't be any more extensions, though, no exceptions.
Also, in Episode 5 of the Waters Wavelength Podcast, Dan DeFrancesco and Anthony Malakian discuss the recent vulnerability found in the glibc library on Linux systems and look at whether or not separating blockchain from bitcoin is actually what's best for the industry. They wrap things up by looking at the US presidential primaries.
