Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Philosopher Noam Chomsky is famously quoted as saying that technology is neither good nor bad, but simply a neutral tool. He likens it to a hammer, which can be used by carpenters and torturers alike. While the neutrality of tech is an idea that appeals to many technologists, this perspective is out of alignment with today's realities of pervasive ad-tech, surveillance capitalism, algorithmic manipulation, and rising techno-fascism.We Just Build Hammers applies a lens of speculative and science fiction to connect you with a historical lineage of thinkers and activists in the responsible tech movement. Its narrative spans a century of major technological upheavals: from the advent of the atomic age to the formative years of computing; from the hacker visionaries of the turn of the century to the tech justice revolutionaries of today.This book challenges technologists to consider for themselves whether they're really just 'building hammers' technologies whose potential for good balances their potential for harm or if they are unwittingly contributing to systems that exacerbate inequality, inequity, and injustice.What You Will LearnA historic grounding and a science fiction perspective to help untangle the difficult and fraught topic of tech ethicsWays to bring ethical considerations into the development of new technologiesHow to navigate the increasing complexity of the techno-social world we live and work inWho This Book is ForDesigned to appeal broadly, not just to engineers and technologists, but to anyone interested in the history and future of ethics and technology. 280 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -In a world where cybersecurity threats evolve daily, it's time to leave traditional, flawed security models behind. This book introduces a groundbreaking approach that applies the quantum principle of superposition to user authentication. Just as a particle exists in multiple states until observed, a user's presence on a network remains undefined until their Digital ID is verified. Once verified, their identity collapses into a single truth-eliminating any risk of impersonation or fraud.This book demonstrates how Digital IDs transform the very foundation of network security. Unlike conventional methods, where user identity is indirectly represented through data, this model ties a user's existence directly to their Digital ID. By securing user presence-and absence-this new authentication model offers unparalleled protection from unauthorized access and common cyber threats like stolen credentials or malicious impersonation.It equips cybersecurity professionals, C-suite executives, and decision-makers with practical, actionable steps for seamlessly integrating this new technology into existing infrastructures. Readers will explore how Digital IDs create a secure, private interface when connected to the network, and how they prevent unauthorized actions when the user is absent. This innovative shift moves security from reactive mitigation strategies to proactive solutions that ensure both trust and control.What You Will Learn:The difference between indirect and direct authentication and how the current cybersecurity approach is fundamentally flawed.Practical steps for implementing digital IDs and direct user interaction to eliminate common cyber threats.How to shift from reactive mitigation strategies to proactive, long-term security solutions that significantly reduce vulnerabilities.Straightforward, actionable insights on how to transform current cybersecurity infrastructures for more robust protection.Who This Book is for:This book is written primarily for cybersecurity professionals such as CISOs, CTOs, CIOs, network architects, and IT security managers. These readers have a deep understanding of current cybersecurity challenges but are seeking innovative, more effective solutions to overcome systemic flaws in today's network security models.Secondary audiences include business leaders and decision-makers in organizations, who need to understand the strategic importance of cybersecurity innovations like Digital IDs and Direct User Interaction. Tertiary audiences might include students or researchers in cybersecurity who want to explore alternative security models.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 148 pp. Englisch.…

Then add more advanced mesh edits like extrude and loop cut-and-slides to your script, and essentials for shaping mesh elements like merge, bevel, and so on. Putting it altogether, you'll create an extension to procedurally generate stylized fire hydrants with parametric controls.In addition to mesh editing, you'll learn to develop production-quality extensions covering various stages of a 3D pipeline, such as retopology, UV mapping, texture painting, and more. Discover along the way how to implement just about any input widgets for your extension. Then package, distribute, and market your extensions through different channels, and produce impressive time-lapsed demos to showcase your procedural content generation (PCG) algorithms. Whether you are new to the Blender Python API or looking to take your add-ons to the next level, this book will support you in your journey in generating 3D content and automating your Blender workflow.What You Will Learn¿ Develop add-ons for automating various stages of a 3D modeling pipeline¿ Edit meshes with the Blender Python API and procedurally generate models.¿ Master use of parametric controls in add-ons for mesh editing or procedural generation to govern the ranges and types of variation produced¿ Develop extensions complete with UI using various input methods, including drawing on meshes with the Grease Pencil.¿ Make time-lapsed and interactive demos of your procedural content generation algorithms.¿ Package, distribute, and market your Blender extensions through different channels.Who This Book Is ForNew and seasoned users of the Blender Python API, that have either some experience with Blender or some experience with general Python development.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 508 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Philosopher Noam Chomsky is famously quoted as saying that technology is neither good nor bad, but simply a neutral tool. He likens it to a hammer, which can be used by carpenters and torturers alike. While the neutrality of tech is an idea that appeals to many technologists, this perspective is out of alignment with today's realities of pervasive ad-tech, surveillance capitalism, algorithmic manipulation, and rising techno-fascism.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 280 pp. Englisch. …
