Could find a few: - Blockchain And Decentralized Systems - amazon.in/dp/B086CG6TJ3 - Mastering Blockchain - amazon.in/dp/B0B4P2VC76

Any feedback on above or other recommendations ?

All of them are focussed primarily on distributed systems, not decentralized / P2P systems - think torrent, direct connection, napster, bitcoin, IPFS.

Ask HN: Book Recommendations for Decentralized Systems

from the ask-hn dept.

There are plenty of good books on designing distributed systems like "Distributed Systems" by Tanenbaum/ Maarten van Steen and "Designing Data-Intensive Applications". Looking for simillar recommendations for decentralized systems - ie books which are technical and practical, may be intermediate to advance level - not something that is introductory or purely theory/philospohy/business oriented.

Re:Ask HN: My client want an agent on my laptop. Is this the new normal? on Friday December 17, 2021 @07:15AM (#29591165)

Watch out for what all permissions that software agent has.

Big firms when they issue their own hardware often install such agents that have ability to not just monitor activity, but also wipe out data or change user account credentials.

I personally find it weird if the ask is to install such agent on BYOD (personal device), since not just the company data, but your personal data can also be wiped out remotely, or your account credentials can be changed remotely locking you out of your own device.
