    Summary:
    How will software development and operations have to change to meet the sustainability and green needs of the planet? And what does that imply for development organizations? In this eye-opening book, Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, and Sara Bergman provide a unique overview of this topic—discussing everything from the likely evolution of national grids to the effect those changes will have on the day-to-day lives of developers. Ideal for everyone from new developers to CTOs, Building Green Software tackles the challenges involved and shows you how to build, host, and operate code in a way that's not only better for the planet but also cheaper and relatively low-risk for your business. Most hyperscale public cloud providers have already committed to net-zero IT operations by 2030. This book shows you how to get on board. You'll explore: ● How the energy transition is likely to change hosting on prem and in the cloud—and how your company can prepare ● The fundamental architectural principles of sustainable software development and how to apply them ● How to determine which parts of your system need to change ● The concept of extending hardware longevity and the part that software plays

    Summary:
    Investors who succeed on Wall Street spend their career analyzing companies, and honing their investment strategies. But they had to start somewhere. Training for research analysts is basically nonexistent on Wall Street resulting in a 'baptism by fire' that forces the new analyst to develop expertise on their own. To overcome this deficiency, Sonkin and Johnson have written the ultimate 'survival' guide for someone embarking on a career as an investment professional. Pitch the Perfect Investment accelerates the learning process, giving the college or MBA student the edge they need to succeed, whether they are pitching a stock idea in a job interview, in a stock pitch competition, or for a student-run investment fund. Pitch the Perfect Investment equips the chief investment officer and director of research with new tools, enabling them to tighten their analytical process and significantly improve communication and efficiency. No other single resource will provide students, money managers, analysts, bankers, executives, salespeople, and individual investors with a faster way to improve their performance. Pitch the Perfect Investment is the essential guide to winning on Wall Street.

    Title: Inside the Invisible Cage: How Algorithms Control Workers
    Author: Hatim Rahman
    Narrator: Gary Tiedemann
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 07:00:00
    Language: English
    Release date: 11-12-2024
    Publisher: Ascent Audio
    Genres: Business & Economics, Non-Fiction, Science & Technology, Law, HR & Office Administration, Computers

    Summary:
    In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an 'invisible cage.' Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.
