  In an era of increasingly connected devices and data-intensive applications, traditional cloud computing models face significant challenges. Enter edge computing, a revolutionary paradigm that brings computing resources closer to the data source, enabling faster processing, lower latency, and enhanced privacy and security. "Edge Computing: Technical Aspects of Edge Computing - Challenges and Considerations" explores this groundbreaking technology, shedding light on its technical aspects, while addressing the hurdles and considerations involved in its implementation. 
  This comprehensive book provides a deep dive into the world of edge computing, starting with a clear explanation of its core concepts and principles. Readers will gain a solid understanding of the architecture, infrastructure, and key components that make up an edge computing environment. From edge devices and gateways to edge analytics and distributed systems, every aspect of the edge computing ecosystem is explored in detail. 
  One of the key strengths of this book lies in its exploration of the challenges and considerations associated with edge computing. It delves into the complexities of deploying and managing edge computing systems, covering topics such as network connectivity, resource management, data synchronization, and security. The book also addresses the trade-offs involved in edge computing, examining the balance between latency reduction and resource consumption, and highlighting the importance of efficient workload distribution.

  Two Minds - Who Really Decides...

  Every day, your brain makes hundreds of decisions before your conscious mind even realizes a choice is being made. You trust your instincts, believe your memories, and feel certain about your judgments — but neuroscience reveals that much of what you call "thinking" is something else entirely: a fast, automatic, largely hidden machinery that runs ahead of awareness, shaped by fatigue, arbitrary numbers, vivid stories, and the simple fact of what you happen to own. In Two Minds: Who Really Decides Inside Your Head, neuroscientist Theo Whessler translates fifteen years of laboratory research into a compact, precise, and deeply practical guide to the brain's most consequential errors. Drawing on landmark experiments in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics — from Benjamin Libet's unsettling discovery that the brain initiates action before conscious intention appears, to Kahneman and Tversky's systematic mapping of human irrationality, to Philip Tetlock's decades-long study of why experts predict worse than algorithms — Whessler builds a unified picture of how the mind actually works, and where it reliably goes wrong. At the heart of the book are the "Seven Traps of the Brain": seven persistent failures that strike under uncertainty, time pressure, and social influence. Anchoring pulls your estimates toward irrelevant numbers you didn't choose. Hindsight bias rewrites your memory of the past until the outcome seems inevitable. Loss aversion makes you cling to what you own and fear giving it up twice as much as you valued gaining it. Base-rate neglect causes you to ignore statistical reality in favor of a vivid story. Overconfidence distorts your planning until budgets double and timelines triple. Framing changes your decision without changing a single fact. And confabulation — the brain's most intimate trick — ensures that when you explain why you did something, you are usually telling a story rather than reporting a cause. Whessler does not stop at diagnosis. Each trap is explained through its neurobiological mechanism, identified through recognizable signs in everyday behavior, and countered with a concrete checking procedure. Readers learn to use the outside view to forecast more accurately, run premortems to expose what optimism conceals, apply structured checklists to override expert overconfidence, and redesign their decision environments so that better choices become the default path. Written for people who make consequential decisions — investors, executives, analysts, clinicians, and anyone who wants to stop repeating the same cognitive mistakes — Two Minds is sharp, evidence-based, and immediately applicable. It does not promise to eliminate bias, because the science makes clear that this is impossible. It promises something more useful: after this book, you will recognize the traps before you fall into them, and you will have the tools to build a life and a workplace where your best thinking has a fighting chance.

  An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture 
   
  Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger. 
   
  In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’sPro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. 
   
  Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture ― and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness ― to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

  Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence that empowers systems to learn from data and make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed. It represents a major shift from traditional rule-based programming to systems that adapt and improve over time. This comprehensive guide delves into the theoretical foundations, types, algorithms, tools, applications, challenges, and the future of Machine Learning. It covers supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement learning in detail, explains key techniques such as neural networks, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning, and explores real-world applications across domains like healthcare, finance, security, and robotics. Ethical concerns, bias in AI, explainability, and interpretability are also discussed, offering a well-rounded understanding of the state and direction of Machine Learning.
