Top Reddit reviews mentioning Business Education & Reference books:
For grad school, I took a class called principles of learning. In it, I read Make It Stick which basically spells out what you observed as the ideal method of learning. I highly suggest it. The book gave me a ton of methods to learn more effectively.
The book being highlighted appears to be COVID-19: The Great Reset. See also: https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/. They recently had a promo video running that said something to the effect of, "In 2030 you will own nothing and you'll be happy." (paraphrasing) That video was taken down allegedly due to backlash about that statement.
Was it hate, ineptitude, or something more nefarious.
If nefarious, does it maybe have something to do with this great reset, Trudeau and Klaus Schwab was on about?
I think the term is Imperialistic Warmongering.

Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds. Neoliberal foreign policy is one of torture, of both the people and the economy. Would you like to know more?
Actually don't need to be tech-savvy, just economic-savvy(and if you're in this sub without knowing basic economics, you get McNuked :3).
Bitcoin mining can use various types of hardware to mine(including Graphic Processing Units/GPUs, such as the GTX 1080s in the OP).
Thus, demand for GPUs has increased. What happens to prices when demand increases?
That is why OP is butthurt about Bitcoin.
^(or the shortages in case there wasn't a price increase)
If you noticed, people on "the left" are upset with the system. People on "the right" are upset with the system.
Those of us who are on the outside are upset with the system.
This isn't a coincidence. Before you can install a new system, you need everyone to be upset with the existing one.
Also, you need people to feel pressure. Duress.
When enough people are upset, all at once -- and under incredible pressure (be it mental, like Covid-19 or economic, like lockdowns) -- they will introduce the answer.
The answer can be read about in Klaus Schwab's new book: "Covid-19: The Great Reset." https://www.amazon.com/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab/dp/2940631123/
Klaus Schwab is the head of the WEF. We've also seen also have public facing discussions with Jerome Powell from the Fed, with 6 other world financial leaders at the IMF conference -- talking about how developments related to the Covid-19 vaccine will pave the way for global biometric identity, which is required for Central Bank Digital Currency.
People's eyes glaze over discussions like this, because they aren't "exciting soundbites" or "titillating conspiracy theories."
But this is real... It's "hidden in plain sight," and the powers that be are doing this indirectly without full understanding by the people who are going along with it as a result of emotionalized propaganda and virus fear campaigns.
EDIT: Bold added for possibly easier skimming.
Read Naomi Kleins book on the subject. It is a serious eye opener.

> make his claims but not provide souce code showing how a bias could be hidden in an algorithm without it being immediately obvious to many coders at google
Because with machine learning and AI, even the developers don't understand how the decisions are made.
You should read Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil, which goes into how biased training data, programmers, etc can result in biased algorithms. It's pretty fascinating.
Fuck off. Its a prosperous government for corporate interests and the wealthy, not the people. Which is exactly how neoliberal economies are designed to function (thanks Milton Friedman). Don't even talk about "converting through violence" after what Pinochet (with American help I might add) did to socialists and any nominally leftist people; thousands tortured and disappeared after a coup against a DEMOCRATICALLY elected socialist government under Salvadore Allende. You do some fucking research you lying ghoul.
I had a highschool math teacher who always told us to be warry of statistics and even had a book he shared.

> My boss is an understanding person and knows that we're stressed, but the larger organization seems uninterested in reorganizing to lessen our burden.
That's all you really need to know. You expressed a concern about the health of the team(s), and the broader org said "no, this is fine". They can live with all the benefits and consequences that come with that decision. All you need to know is whether or not you can live with all the benefits and consequences of that decision.
> Are most jobs like this?
I would say no, but practices that promote burnout aren't exactly uncommon -- toil is one example.
It's not uncommon for organizational practices/structures to foster high levels of burnout, but most orgs who give a shit will tend to fix those problems because turnover tends to be more expensive than simply fixing the problems that cause the turnover. Kinda sorta depends on the business's priorities, though. Showing the value of strategic investment in technical resources is ... difficult at times. I like the approach taken by Accelerate -- numbers and figures are what your manager needs to be focusing on, though it is hard to do when you're drowning already and engagement from leadership is low to non-existent anyway.
Using covid19 to lockdown citizens was the first step. The elites have been trying for the great reset for the last 20 years.

Both Economics in One Lesson and Basic Economics are golden, though for very different reasons.
Economics is One Lesson starts with a truth that is obvious and simple once you hear it explained. You think to yourself, "Well, yeah. Who could possibly think otherwise?" And then you hop onto Reddit and see that a substantial preponderance of Reddit are afflicted with a mindset and beliefs that fly in the face of this simple truth. It then spends time expanding on this truth and applying it to tons of different things that you wouldn't intuitively see it applying to.
Basic Economics is better though. Both are well worth reading, but Sowell's work is incredibly comprehensive. When I read it, it didn't come across as someone trying to prove any world view, as tends to be the case from so many economists. It is him simply seeking to explain economics to someone who is new to the field. To his credit, he uses terminology that is accessible to anyone and doesn't spend a single moment trying to prove to how smart he is. (Though his brilliance is immediately evident.) Its most important quality is that it doesn't ask you to partake in a string of thought experiments to reach some grand conclusions. Every assertion he makes is supported by multiple studies and historical examples. This happens time and time again. And the bolder the claim, the more evidence he provides. It's remarkable.
While it does weigh in at 700-ish pages, Basic Economics is almost certainly the perfect book for getting your feet wet when in economics.
hahahaha you gotta be larping and memeing. do you know about this book? amazon.com/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab/dp/2940631123
just look up "the world economic forum." this is where the "you will eat the bugs, you will live in the pods" etc meme comes from. if you genuinely don't know about any of this, that is mildly troubling. maybe your subconscious absorbed this information somewhere else on the internet, but the way you describe your dream is just too on the nose not to be a meme.
Read the book on the topic, written by the head of the world economic forum. https://www.amazon.com/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab/dp/2940631123
How to prepare will depend largely, I think, on how much of their vision they can push into reality.
If every republican read how to lie with statistics -Darrell Huff (1954) Fox viewership would drop. Hell, Democrats or anyone for that matter should read this. It makes trusting a news source a lot harder when you immediately pick out devious tricks to engineer partial truths.
upvoted all the comments aimed at your subject line, and I hope you're feeling better about going on.
With regards to thinking three weeks won't solve anything: I know you might write off July and there's nothing to be ashamed of for doing that, but I firmly believe that the first month of study has just been attempting to understand things and the next three weeks s where we begin to attempt to master it and stick it in our brains. The next three weeks could make all the difference, because the design of things like Barbri is to "make it stick" in month two. Practice MBE and essay questions should be approached as learning/memorization devices, not as tests.
If you do decide to re-focus on February, or if you're looking for motivation wrt July, I highly recommend reading Make it Stick. It helped me to trust the process, study more efficiently, and not get lost in 0% learning sets on Evidence and Crim.
Good luck!
Why don't you read the book? Total societal control is needed to fully implement the Great Reset, many of the concepts can't go forward with pesky things like human rights, privacy laws and freedoms. This round was a priming and removing of some obstacles. You can't go too quickly or the population will rebel. A huge amount of progress was made and society largely accepted and encouraged the actions. We are well on our way but they need to regroup or risk too much opposition.

It does look like to the majority of the left, but that's not the case. If you have an example, I can do my best to explain the stance (whether or not I agree with it). But, I will say that a lot of regulation that intends to protect the poor from the rich actually ends up being counter-productive. The goals of a regulation are often very different from the incentives it creates. The best example of that, I think, is rent control. The goals of rent control are very noble, but the perverse incentives it creates actually end up greatly reducing the amount and quality of available low-income housing. Thomas Sowell goes into in the book I'm reading, which I think you can read on the Amazon page w/o needing Prime or to buy a copy. If you click the "Look Inside" button above the image of the cover, you should be able to get to the section on Price Controls. The first in-depth section is on rent control. Ya know, if you're interested. It's a dry subject, but I think Sowell does a great job of making it understandable to those of that aren't economists.
Also, and I'm not saying you're definitely making this mistake, but a mistake a ton of people make is that they think the economy and wealth are zero-sum. The far-left subs (r/LateStageCapitalism etc) routinely misunderstand how net worth is calculated and what it actually means.
This book was sent to all world leaders by the head of the World Economic Forum, which is the mouthpiece for the network of central banks that have economic control over most nations. If you're not familiar with the history of central banking and debt slavery, this is a good series to watch to get you an idea of the history of the world's ruling class.
One of the best books I ever read was "How to Lie With Statistics". Although the examples are dated, the basics are still very valid.
I agree with the overall point of learning and continuous improvement, but I think a lot of common sense and research indicates that Mean Time to Restore is a very important metric to measure and improve. And if I had to choose, I would definitely pick Mean Time to Restore over Mean Time to Retrospective. If you can measure both, great.
As an example, Time to Restore is one of four metrics included in Software Delivery and Operational Performance which predicts organizational performance, as shown in the State of DevOps reports and the related Accelerate book.
It's not an oxymoron. You can have two sets of true facts about a situation, which depending on which things are emphasized, gives you an entirely separate narrative of how things are going.
One could say, for instance, "Murders in Chicago are up 1200% this year! Highest number of deaths on record!" And that would be one set of facts.
One could also say, "There were 12 murders in Chicago, compared to 1 last year. The 10 year average is about 10 murders per year, so this isn't outside of the expected range of deaths. Also, it's a city of 3 million, so this is in fact a fairly low amount of murders on a per capita basis."
Those are two sets of facts reporting on the same incident, both true but you can tell they paint entirely different narratives about how to feel about the situation.
What this shows is that you cannot simply say, "Well, just report the facts, and everything else will work itself out." There is a meta element to this, where you choose which things to emphasize, and which to de-emphasize, and by this choice of emphasis you inevitably are shaping the way things are understood, because humans understand events not by a bulleted list of facts, but as a narrative, a story.
These things you have to take into consideration when you're talking about media and the spread of information, especially political information.

It's not a big deal to be lazy about getting directions to the bank. Algorithms are genuinely dangerous right now, already, because people feed poorly curated data into an equation that's almost entirely unrelated to what the powerful people pretend it's doing, and then nobody bothers to check whether it's getting good results until a lot of lives are ruined by things ranging from being denied loans to getting accidentally put on the no-fly list to being constantly tailed by police with a grudge because the math says red cars in your zipcode are all criminals.
It's worth considering whether "ushering in a revolution in capitalism, to the benefit of the elite" was the point.
Klaus Schwab is the Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum. He wrote COVID-19: The Great Reset, available in paperback, describing his proposed "stakeholder capitalism" economic model.
Look no further than those who benefitted from the lockdowns, and you'll find their strongest advocates among the world's elite in government and business. Likewise, you'll readily notice that anyone who uses the phrase "build back better," seems perfectly content to do their bidding.
Klaus Schwab even wrote a book about it. They also have a YouTube channel promoting their ideas.
It's not a conspiracy theory, but they obviously need to fail and likely will because it's too crazy and there's too many who will fight back. They're talking about a "cyber pandemic" next. Absolute psychopaths.
You can absolutely go faster. Not by saying "go faster," but there are practices and organizational techniques that make quantifiable differences in how fast you can deliver software. A lot of it's stuff we've already heard of: good version control practices, CI/CD, test automation, rapid feedback cycles, limiting work in progress, good communication, keeping processes lightweight, etc. There's even a research-backed book that delves into this.
Hi, I just read your book, Klaus Schwab:
You will own nothing and like it!
Possibly the worst set of graphs I've ever seen
