A Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2016

Today, nations increasingly carry out geopolitical combat through economic means. Policies governing everything from trade and investment to energy and exchange rates are wielded as tools to win diplomatic allies, punish adversaries, and coerce those in between. Not so in the United States, however. America still too often reaches for the gun over the purse to advance its interests abroad. The result is a playing field sharply tilting against the United States.

"Geoeconomics, the use of economic instruments to advance foreign policy goals, has long been a staple of great-power politics. In this impressive policy manifesto, Blackwill and Harris argue that in recent decades, the United States has tended to neglect this form of statecraft, while China, Russia, and other illiberal states have increasingly employed it to Washington's disadvantage."
--G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs

"A readable and lucid primer...The book defines the extensive topic and opens readers' eyes to its prevalence throughout history... Presidential] candidates who care more about protecting American interests would be wise to heed the advice of War by Other Means and take our geoeconomic toolkit more seriously.
--Jordan Schneider, Weekly Standard

A data engineering journey from basic to advance topics
Format: Kindle
Is the third time that I read this book. One of the most valuable aspects is the fact that depending of your data engineering mature, you'll always find a new aspect or ideas to put in practice. Hope the second version come soon!

Lottery Book
Format: Paperback
This book contains a lot of opinions without facts. Some are true, some are not. But its a lottery, you cold pick a gold text or a text that is full of buzzwords, without any meaning, fact and useless in real life.

Glad I bought this used
Format: Paperback
It’s packed with buzzwords and adjectives, offering plenty of in-vacuum advice and self-promotional ‘hire-me’ vibes. There’s some real insight here, but it’s buried under a lot of noise.

Not useful
Format: Paperback
This book has a few pieces of good advice, but its buried under mountains of weird and amateur level musings. Example: Paul Singman advocates for eliminating ETL entirely. How? Just reprogram the applications to which you may or may not have the source code to handle your data processing. He calls Intention Data Transfer 🥴 Thanks for the advice Paul, I'll get right on that.

Good starting point. But can't find the code.
Format: Kindle
Reading chapter 3. It was so far so good, but can't find the code in the repo. "All the related code can be found in the repository under project/hooks-notification." And in the repo I see no project folder. Please help!
