Philebus

Plato Plato

Sinopse

Philebus by Plato (/fɪˈliːbəs/; occasionally given as Philebos; Greek: Φίληβος) is a Socratic dialogue written in the 4th century BC by Plato. Besides Socrates (the main speaker) the other interlocutors are Philebus and Protarchus.

Philebus, who advocates the life of physical pleasure (hedonism), hardly participates, and his position is instead defended by Protarchus, who learnt argumentation from Sophists. Socrates proposes there are higher pleasures (such as those of the mind) as well as lower ones, and asks if the best life isn't one that optimally mixes both.

Manuscripts of the work give it the subtitle "peri hēdonēs, ēthikos" ("ethics/moral concerning pleasure") implying that its topic is "concerning pleasure" and it is a work on ethics — that is, the question of what way of life is best. However "there are large parts in the dialogue that deal with dialectics and ontology but have nothing to do with pleasure and ethics, or if so, only indirectly".

The Bottomless Cloud - How AI...

Thomas Koulopoulos, David Friend

The Bottomless Cloud challenges the scarcity-driven mindset by taking a hard look at how industrial age business models are failing us by regarding data as a commodity and a cost that needs to be constrained, rather than a near infinite resource that can be mined to build entirely new sources of value and insight. From Uber to Nike to Netflix, The Bottomless Cloud is defining the tenets of success in the 21st Century by changing the way we view data, from being a byproduct of business to a foundational driver of radically new business models.

Eight Bears - Mythic Past and...

Gloria Dickie

A global exploration of the eight remaining species of bears—and the dangers they face. 
 
 
 
Bears have always held a central place in our collective memory, from Indigenous folklore and Greek mythology to nineteenth-century fairytales and the modern toy shop. But as humans and bears come into ever-closer contact, our relationship nears a tipping point. Today, most of the eight remaining bear species are threatened with extinction. Some, such as the panda bear and the polar bear, are icons of the natural world; others, such as the spectacled bear and the sloth bear, are far less known. 
 
 
 
In Eight Bears, journalist Gloria Dickie embarks on a globe-trotting journey to explore each bear's story, whisking listeners from the cloud forests of the Andes to the ice floes of the Arctic; from the jungles of India to the backwoods of the Rocky Mountain West. She meets with key figures on the frontlines of modern conservation efforts—the head of a rescue center for sun and moon bears freed from bile farms, a biologist known as Papa Panda, who has led China's panda-breeding efforts for almost four decades, a conservationist retraining a military radar system to detect and track polar bears near towns—to reveal the unparalleled challenges bears face as they contend with a rapidly changing climate and encroaching human populations.

Project Manager

Introbooks Team

There is a great confusion in the market concerning positions for project professionals, and it is very common to see advertising opportunities for Project Managers that require academic expertise, PMP certification and extensive experience in projects. 
As well as vacancies for Project Managers where it is crucial that the professional has a great capacity to perform technical functions, such as software programming. These are just two superficial examples of how many people, especially the market is a bit confusing not only for the definition of the function name but mainly the functions to be performed by professionals. 
One of the great motivators for this whole mess is that there is no official definition, formally recognized about positions for project management professionals for the market as a whole, even as the post of Project Manager is relatively new, when a few years ago "naming" was not used to these days.

Quantum Analytics : Transforming...

Ecnal Ver

Discover the Future of Data
We live in a world overflowing with information. Every second, new data is created from our phones, computers, cars, and even household appliances. But the old tools we use to understand this data are falling behind. Quantum Analytics takes you on a journey into a new way of thinking, where strange but powerful ideas from quantum theory help us see patterns, make smarter choices, and understand complex problems.
From Classical to Quantum Thinking
Classical analytics depends on clear, simple answers. But the world isn’t simple anymore. Quantum ideas such as superposition, entanglement, and uncertainty allow us to hold many possibilities at once, see hidden connections, and even understand how our focus can change outcomes. Instead of being limited to straight-line logic, we learn to explore data as a living, changing web of information.
Tools for Real-World Challenges
This audiobook shows how quantum thinking can solve problems in business, science, medicine, and daily life. From managing traffic in busy cities to protecting personal privacy with quantum encryption, from modeling the spread of disease to building smarter machine learning systems, the applications are endless. Quantum analytics is not just about new machines. It is about a new mindset that helps us work with uncertainty instead of fearing it.
Why This Book Matters
You do not need to be a scientist to understand or use these ideas. Quantum Analytics makes complex ideas simple and clear, inviting you to see the world in new ways. You will discover how quantum theory reshapes decision-making, security, and even creativity. This audiobook is about more than data. It is about thinking differently, asking deeper questions, and opening doors to possibilities that classical methods miss.
Take this journey into the heart of quantum thinking and see how it can transform the way you understand information, make choices, and imagine the future.
