Bitcoin, often defined as a cryptocurrency, a virtual currency, or a digital currency - is a type of currency that is entirely virtual. It's like an online version of money. You can use it to purchase products and services, but not many shops accept Bitcoin yet, and some countries have banned it altogether.
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency made in 2009. Marketplaces named "bitcoin exchanges" allow people to buy or sell bitcoins using different currencies. Bitcoin is a new currency made in 2009 by an unidentified person using the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Dealings are made with no middlemen - meaning, no banks!

Algorithmic Aspects of Machine Learning By Ankur Moitra
2018 | 158 Pages | ISBN: 1316636003 | PDF | 2 MB
This book bridges theoretical computer science and machine learning by exploring what the two sides can teach each other. It emphasizes the need for flexible, tractable models that better capture not what makes machine learning hard, but what makes it easy. Theoretical computer scientists will be introduced to important models in machine learning and to the main questions within the field. Machine learning researchers will be introduced to cutting-edge research in an accessible format, and gain familiarity with a modern, algorithmic toolkit, including the method of moments, tensor decompositions and convex programming relaxations. The treatment beyond worst-case analysis is to build a rigorous understanding about the approaches used in practice and to facilitate the discovery of exciting, new ways to solve important long-standing problems.

Abstract Parabolic Evolution Equations and Łojasiewicz-Simon Inequality II: Applications
English | 2021 | ISBN: 9811626626 | 134 Pages | PDF EPUB | 8 MB
This second volume continues the study on asymptotic convergence of global solutions of parabolic equations to stationary solutions by utilizing the theory of abstract parabolic evolution equations and the Łojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality. In the first volume of the same title, after setting the abstract frameworks of arguments, a general convergence theorem was proved under the four structural assumptions of critical condition, Lyapunov function, angle condition, and gradient inequality. In this volume, with those abstract results reviewed briefly, their applications to concrete parabolic equations are described.

Laura Dodsworth, "A State of Fear: How the UK government weaponised fear during the Covid-19 pandemic"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1780667205 | 320 pages | EPUB | 0.47 MB
This is a book about fear. Fear of a virus. Fear of death. Fear of losing our jobs, our democracy, our human connections, our health and our minds. It's also about how the government weaponised our fear against us - supposedly in our best interests - until we were one of the most frightened countries in the world.But why did the government deliberately frighten us? How has this affected us as individuals and as a country? Who is involved in the decision-making that affects our lives? How are behavioural science and nudge theory being used to subliminally manipulate us? How does the media leverage fear? What are the real risks to our wellbeing?Ahead of any official inquiry into the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Laura Dodsworth explores all these questions and more, in a nuanced and thought-provoking discussion of an extraordinary year in British life and politics. With stories from members of the general public who were impacted by fear, anxiety and isolation, and revealing interviews with psychologists, politicians, scientists, lawyers, Whitehall advisers and journalists, A State of Fear calls for a more hopeful, transparent and effective democracy.

A Gathering Darkness: The Coming of War to the Far East and the Pacific, 1921-1942 By Haruo Tohmatsu, H. P. Willmott
2004 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0842051511 | PDF | 11 MB
The United States' involvement in World War II began with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. But for Japan, the conflict began at a much earlier date. This book focuses on Japan and the events in its military history leading up to and including Pearl Harbor. Unique in its perspective, A Gathering Darkness shows how historical events in the 1920s and 1930s steered the country into war with America and its allies.A Gathering Darkness looks at what happened inside Japan in the 1920s to change its outlook on the West. There was a general repudiation of western values by Japanese society, and Japan turned its back on the outside world and an international order that were making life difficult for the country. The treaties made in Washington in the 1920s left Japan with a local supremacy that no other power, including Britain and the United States, could challenge on the account of their lack of forward bases and their commitments that precluded full deployment of forces in the western Pacific.A Gathering Darkness shows why Japan became increasingly militant in the 1930s. The authors look at Japanese military involvement in Manchuria beginning in September 1931. They cover the beginning of Japan's involvement in China in 1937, a conflict in which Japan would up in a deadlock with the China theater of operations in the period 1939-1941.The book then analyzes the first five months of the Pacific War, including the Pearl Harbor strike and the synchronization of offensive operations across more than four thousand miles of ocean. It also investigates the dilemma Japan faced as it realized in early 1942 that the United States was not going to collapse.A Gathering Darkness is the first volume in SR Books' trilogy on the Pacific War. This book offers a fascinating look at the prelude to the Pacific War and the early stages of the conflict that no one interested in World War II, military history, or Japanese history will want to miss.
