Jair RibeiroPublished 3 years ago in 01Principles of Cloud Design
Here is my second review/lesson about computer applications. This one is entitled 'Principles of Cloud Design' by David Clinton. David has written in the introduction it is all about efficiency and effectiveness from your cloud infrastructure. This sample book will show to some extent how to plan a cloud deployment of any kind. It also mentions about the practice behind availability, scalability, and elasticity to get the full benefit of the software driving the cloud engines. This sample book is comprised of several other authors contributing their chapters. The three chapters that I read and reviewed are all by these separate authors and their combined knowledge.

ELIBIB THE LITTLE BLACK BOOK
Fabian EllisPublished 3 years ago in 01The Book of Time
“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” Leo Tolstoy During the bright morning light over the central complexes of the inner city, in the middle of the ravages of daily street crime and poverty, in the mid-way up the right-side of a building of a multiple-story public housing project, a destitute population prays for peace and prosperity while a single noisy and messy apartment lies at the end of a hall. In this one-bedroom unit on the twenty-first floor filled with dirty floors and walls covered in grime, loud hip-hop music blasts into the hallway from a boombox reminiscent of the 1980’s urban street culture. Strewn about the apartment are empty Chinese food containers, potato chip bags, soda and juice containers, and many alcoholic drink bottles including wine, beer, and spirits filling an overflowing garbage can.
Jeffrey EstrellaPublished 3 years ago in 01The Decision Maker's Handbook to Data Science: Book Review
For the uninitiated, data scientists can seem like mystic oracles bringing esoteric wisdom from the slopes of Mount Parnassus. Unfortunately this opacity is leading to increasing skepticism of the field’s effectiveness, with less than 9% of businesses actually able to quantify the impact of their data science investment according to a 2018 survey by Domino Data Lab, and 85% of businesses’ big data projects failing according to 2018 Gartner research. Data science has enormous potential when done right, but the costs of failure are extremely high.

Jared RimerPublished 6 years ago in 01Best Books on Robotics
When science fiction blurs with modern technology, that's when you receive the keys to the future; something as worthwhile and as revolutionary as the lightbulb and electricity itself: robotics. The next step in our technological evolution will be the enhancements in artificial intelligence, of course, but robotics in of itself seems to be completely ignored by many, mainly for its slow decline in popularity, when the realities behind super-intelligent robotics are slim to none.
Salvador LorenzPublished 6 years ago in 01Best Artificial Intelligence Books You Should Read
Humanity is currently standing at the cusp of a new technological revolution. It's a revolution that will turn our computers, cellphones, and other devices into something a little more human. With the improvements that artificial intelligence has been making, our devices are now capable of thinking on their own.
Iggy PaulsenPublished 6 years ago in 01We Are Kinakuta/We Are the Blockchain
It is time to revisit Neal Stephenson’s 1999 novel Cryptonomicon with respect to the modern rise of the blockchain and cryptocurrency. The influence of this book cannot be overstated within certain circles. Peter Thiel even went on the record as stating that Cryptonomicon was “required reading” during the early days of PayPal, which is rather remarkable. Aside from Thiel’s obvious enthusiasm, Cryptonomicon was nominated for a Hugo, nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, and it won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2000. I love the book for a great many reasons, and I am certainly not an outlier.
