Summary

Mining Power Usage tackles the growing concerns surrounding the significant power consumption of cryptocurrency mining and its environmental impact. As digital currencies become more prevalent, understanding the energy demands, carbon footprint, and long-term sustainability of blockchain technologies is crucial. The book reveals how mining has evolved from individual enthusiasts to large-scale industrial operations and emphasizes the need for transparency regarding energy practices within the cryptocurrency industry. For example, the "proof-of-work" consensus mechanism, vital for maintaining decentralized networks, demands immense computational power and electricity.

 
The book progresses by first introducing cryptocurrency mining fundamentals, then analyzing its environmental impact, including carbon emissions and e-waste. The book delves into how different cryptocurrencies and mining hardware vary in energy efficiency.

 
Ultimately, it proposes solutions, such as renewable energy adoption and regulatory frameworks, for a sustainable crypto ecosystem. This book uniquely combines technical analysis with practical solutions, offering a balanced view suitable for environmental scientists, tech enthusiasts, and policymakers alike.

Future Care - Sensors Artificial...

Dr. Jag Singh

WITH A FOREWORD BY SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE A renowned cardiologist and Harvard professor spells out the future digital shift of medicine — and how it will impact the lives not only of patients and health care professionals but of all humans. Future care is virtual care: sensor-aided, digitally enabled, and powered by predictive analytics. Like most facets of modern life, human organs, too, are being digitally monitored. Sensors are well on their way to helping us proactively capture the information needed to predict and prevent disease. Paired with the medical world’s growing emphasis on wellness and prevention, the digital revolution will help us effectively monitor and address the chronic diseases that have been the Achilles’ heel of the health care system to date. This large-scale transition is not only going to reshape the patient-physician relationship but also dramatically change how hospitals and the business of medicine operate. Dr. Singh explores the upswell of virtual care, the evolving role of sensors, and the impact of artificial intelligence in medicine and health care through cutting-edge science, big idea projections, and patient stories. Using anecdotes from his own COVID-19 illness and medical practice, Dr. Singh shows that the success of the digital revolution in medicine is dependent on our ability to understand and adapt to this changing landscape. Future Care provides fascinating insights into how health care can become sensible, affordable, and practical and why everyone needs to become a part of the solution. It is an important and timely contribution to the ongoing and increasingly urgent conversation about medicine, technology, and health care.
