Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea

Product Information

Belakangan teori kuantum berkembang lebih jauh lagi hingga 'membongkar' habis-habisan struktur atom. Hingga hari ini, milyaran dollar telah terkuras hanya demi 'mengupas' isi atom hingga bagian paling-paling-paling-paling-paling dasar. Bidang kajian Fisika Elementer dewasa ini sudah pada taraf 'tak dapat diungkapkan dengan kata-kata'. namun sekali lagi, mereka terbentur satu hal. Atom tidak dapat dipecah lagi sehingga menjadi nol... Untuk menjadikannya nol, perlu energi tak terbayangkan, perlu biaya lebih mahal dan usaha lebih ekstrem. sekali lagi NOL sang biang kerok! XD This book is a timely reminder that, if we act urgently, we can stop making climate change worse, and possibly reduce it, not only avoiding catastrophe but improving the quality of life globally.

The ZeroBook 13 has the same basic design as the previous generation model. Largely inspired by the MacBook Pro models of yore, the design features a silver aluminum construction throughout. The lid has a few flashy markings on it with an illuminated Zero logo. a b c d e f g h i j k John Hunt Publishing – Reviewed, The Independent Publishing Magazine, February 26, 2014.

I was also less sure about the flashy markings on the lid for what is supposed to be a mature, professional-grade product. Perhaps it is a way to stand out from the crowd but it is quite aggressive and distracting from the otherwise clean appearance. Mengapa banyak orang begitu takut pada angka 'sederhana' ini? (banyak pelajar dan mahasiswa takut jika ujian mereka mendapatkan nilai nol XD). Rangkuman usaha pengalahan angka nol inilah yang menjadi tema mendasar buku ini. Begitu panjangnya usaha manusia mengalahkan esensi angka nol ini, namun sejauh ini kita harus mengaku kalah. Hasil yang dicapai bisa dikatakan nol. :-) In my testing, I got 5-6 hours of use out of the machine in the default Balanced mode while working on this review and also while watching the occasional YouTube video. The display was set to 70% brightness throughout and all audio was played through the notebook speakers.

Awal bab buku ini memberikan contoh bagaimana sebuah kapal selam canggih nan mahal nyaris tenggelam dan tak berdaya karena hal sepele, sistem pemrograman pengendali mesinnya ngadat karena dalam pemrograman komputasinya, ada satu kehadiran angka nol yang tidak pada tempatnya. Ajaib. Hanya perlu satu angka nol ntuk menjadikan kapal selam canggih dan mahal itu menjadi rongsokan besi karatan di dasar samudera. Yah, meski pada akhirnya kapal tersebut dapat diperbaiki, tapi itupun perlu usaha ekstra keras, terlambat sedikit saja, bisa fatal akibatnya.The ZeroBook 13 is a good notebook for office work and students. It has a large, bright display that is perfectly fine for documents, web browsing, and watching content. The keyboard is decently comfortable and the battery is good enough to get you through most of your day. My only critique is that the first part of the book is very easy to understand, but during the second half when Seife discusses modern mathematics and science, the narrative becomes more difficult to follow if the reader isn't a calculus major or a physicist (neither of which I am...). Still, there are nice illustrations that make Seife's points clearer. It’s a good thing that Saviano is not a drug pusher because if he was, more people would be addicted. Un primo aspetto che mi lascia insoddisfatto sono alcune scelte stilistiche. Ho trovato alcune parti, ad esempio il primo capitolo, estremamente noiose in quanto formate da interminabili elenchi che risultano rapidamente noiosi e freddi, pur essendo chiaro l'intento di trasmettere proprio la diffusione del fenomeno o le sue sfaccettature attraverso la loro lunghezza. Fascinating facts about how our calendar system is ahead by a year BECAUSE we should have begun with year zero, not one. So, when December 31, 1999 came around, true mathematicians didn't celebrate the millenium until December 31, 2000. The Mayan's had the calendar system figured out. They started with zero, but didn't call it that.

No he leído el libro anterior del autor, así que no lo puedo comparar; de entrada es un tipo de narrativa muy única y desconozco que tanto pueda repetirse este estilo en otras obras sin cansar al lector, pero de entrada es una observación irrelevante si es el primero libro de Saviano que se lee.

If you’re someone who reads about seemingly disparate parts of the climate change challenge and wonders how it all fits together, it’s in this book – from climate justice to energy efficiency, investment in renewables to agriculture. Sometimes, however, you shouldn’t pull punches. Sometimes, in particular when trying to make people aware, you can’t be nice and sensitive. Gaming is tough but not impossible. The Xe Graphics could run older games like CS:GO, Valorant, and GTA V as well as any 2D games with 100+ FPS. However, most newer AAA 3D games are out of the question. L'argomento è sicuramente interessante e meriterebbe maggiore attenzione, anche se mi permetto di fare alcune critiche. The book offers a comprehensive look at number 0 and its controverting role as one of the great paradoxes of human thought and history since its invention by the ancient Babylonians or the Indian people. Even though zero is a fundamental idea for the modern science, initially the notion of a complete absence got a largely negative, sometimes hostile, treatment by the Western world and Greco-Roman philosophy.
