  An accessible yet erudite deep dive into how platforms are remaking experiences of death 
   
   
    
  Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists' plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. 
   
   
    
  Big Tech has authority not only over people's lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies' policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes listeners on a vibrant tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality?

  This book contains 3 titles, which are the following: 
  · Cybersecurity: Cybersecurity is no longer a niche concern for IT professionals but a critical issue that impacts everyone. From personal data breaches to large-scale corporate hacks, the risks of cyber attacks are more real and damaging than ever. Hackers, cybercriminals, and even state-sponsored entities have the ability to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt critical services. The consequences of these actions can range from financial loss to the erosion of privacy, and in some cases, even national security threats. 
  · Global Disasters: The world is increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of disasters, both natural and man-made, that threaten our lives, economies, and ecosystems. These crises, which range from catastrophic earthquakes to the far-reaching impacts of climate change, have become more frequent, intense, and interconnected. While the planet has always been subject to the forces of nature, human activity has amplified many of these events, while also introducing new, unprecedented risks. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, have become an inevitable part of the global landscape, but they are now exacerbated by the ongoing environmental degradation we’ve caused. 
  · Drug Cartels: Drug cartels have become a pervasive and highly organized criminal force with a significant global reach. These powerful syndicates control large portions of the illegal drug trade, operating not only within their home countries but across continents. Their operations extend far beyond drug trafficking, often influencing global markets, politics, and even social structures. The history of drug cartels is intertwined with the rise of drug consumption worldwide, as their growth is directly linked to the increasing demand for illicit substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and marijuana.

  "Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems: The Shift towards Distributed Computing Paradigms and the Growing Role of Cloud Computing in HPC" explores the transformative impact of cloud computing on the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and the evolution of distributed computing paradigms. 
  In recent years, there has been a dramatic shift in the way computing resources are provisioned and utilized. Traditional monolithic systems have given way to distributed computing models, where processing power is distributed across multiple nodes and interconnected through networks. This paradigm shift has been driven by the growing demand for scalable, flexible, and cost-effective computing solutions. 
  This book provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts, technologies, and applications that have emerged from this transition. It delves into the fundamental principles of distributed systems, covering topics such as distributed file systems, distributed storage, distributed databases, and distributed consensus algorithms. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities presented by distributed computing, including fault tolerance, scalability, and load balancing. 
  Whether you are a computer science student, a researcher, or a practitioner in the field of distributed systems or cloud computing, "Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems" provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the foundations, architectures, and applications of these transformative technologies. It equips you with the knowledge and tools necessary to embrace the power of distributed computing paradigms and leverage cloud computing for high-performance computing, enabling you to unlock new possibilities and drive innovation in your own projects and endeavors.

  The Jupiter Sun - The Greatest...

  This book was inspired by my previous work of Science Fiction in: 'The Book To End All Books'. At the climactic conclusion of that book, I realized that we didn't have the 1,000 years I gave humankind to create a 2nd sun in the sky. We would be extinct by then and long buried in the debris of our own destruction. 
  So, I decided to put all the speculative knowledge that I had learned from my science fiction novel into use in this book in hopes that perhaps humanity would be wise enough to give it a try. We can do this. We can ignite Jupiter and create a 2nd sun. And, I also answer the question - Why would we do this? 
  Humanity has some major challenges to its continued existence that are caused by our technology. But now we have the opportunity to use our advanced space and rocket technology and our laser Fusion Reactor technology to combine them into a major project for the world to take on. 
  We can use our current knowledge of nuclear fusion and space travel to send a team to create a station on the four moons of Jupiter and shoot high energy red laser beams into the hydrogen core of Jupiter to ignite the gas giant into a 2nd sun in our sky. Don't worry - Jupiter is five times further away from us than our present sun, so it would not create any significant amounts of additional heat. It's also 1,000 times smaller than our 1st sun, so again, we have nothing to fear from increased heat. BUT, we would gain twice as much FREE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLAR ENERGY from another sun and this could be utilized by both the Earth and Mars to save our species.
