Distributed Ledgers
Distributed ledger technology (DLT) has the potential to transform economic organization and financial structures.In this book, Robert Townsend steps back from the hype and controversy surrounding DLT (and the related, but not synonymous, innovations of blockchain and Bitcoin) to offer an economic analysis of what distributed ledgers can do and a blueprint for the optimal design and regulation of financial systems.Townsend examines the key components of distributed ledgers, discussing, evaluating, and illustrating each in the context of historical and contemporary economies, reviewing featured applications in both developed economies and emerging-market countries, and indicating where future innovations can have large impact. Throughout, Townsend emphasizes the general equilibrium impact of DLT innovations, the welfare gains from these innovations, and related regulatory innovations.He analyzes four crucial components of distributed ledgers-ledgers as accounts, e-messages and e-value transfers, cryptography, and contracts-assesses each in terms of both economics and computer science, and forges some middle ground.Relatedly, Townsend highlights hybrid systems in which some of these components allow useful innovation while legacy or alternative pieces deal with the problem of scale.The specific applications he analyzes include an intelligent financial automated system that provides financial services to unbanked and under-banked populations, and cross-border payments systems, including financial systems that can integrate credit and insurance with clearing and settlement.Finally, Townsend considers cryptocurrencies, discussing the role and value of tokens in economies with distributed ledger systems.

Is luck distributed unfairly?
Luck is not distributed unfairly, but rather it is a combination of random chance and individual circumstances. While some people may seem to have more luck than others, it is often a result of their own actions, choices, and opportunities. Additionally, luck can be influenced by factors such as privilege, access to resources, and social support. Ultimately, luck is a complex and unpredictable phenomenon that cannot be easily categorized as fair or unfair.

Is luck unfairly distributed?
Luck is often seen as being unfairly distributed because it is based on random chance rather than merit or effort. Some people may seem to have more luck in certain aspects of their lives, such as career opportunities or financial success, while others may face more challenges. However, luck is subjective and can change over time, so it is important to focus on making the most of the opportunities that come our way rather than dwelling on perceived inequalities in luck distribution.

How to generate normally distributed random numbers from uniformly distributed random numbers?
To generate normally distributed random numbers from uniformly distributed random numbers, we can use the Box-Muller transform. This method involves taking pairs of uniformly distributed random numbers and transforming them into pairs of normally distributed random numbers. By using the Box-Muller transform formula, we can convert the uniform random numbers into normally distributed random numbers with the desired mean and standard deviation. This method is commonly used in computer programming languages to generate random numbers that follow a normal distribution.

Distributed Creativity : Thinking Outside the Box of the Creative Individual
This book challenges the standard view that creativity comes only from within an individual by arguing that creativity also exists ‘outside’ of the mind or more precisely, that the human mind extends through the means of action into the world.The notion of ‘distributed creativity’ is not commonly used within the literature and yet it has the potential to revolutionise the way we think about creativity, from how we define and measure it to what we can practically do to foster and develop creativity.Drawing on cultural psychology, ecological psychology and advances in cognitive science, this book offers a basic framework for the study of distributed creativity that considers three main dimensions of creative work: sociality, materiality and temporality. Starting from the premise that creativity is distributed between people, between people and objects and across time, the book reviews theories and empirical examples that help us unpack each of these dimensions and above all, articulate them into a novel and meaningful conception of creativity as a simultaneously psychological and socio-material process.The volume concludes by examining the practical implications in adopting this perspective on creativity.

Modelling Distributed Systems
A distributed system is driven by separate components that are executed in parallel, and protocols for such systems form a major aspect of system design in today’s world of wireless and mobile networking.Process algebras are languages for the description of elementary parallel systems and are used to study the behavioural properties of distributed systems, but they often lack the ability to handle data. This textbook guides students through algebraic specification and verification of distributed systems, and some of the most prominent formal verification techniques.The author employs µCRL as the vehicle, a language developed to combine process algebra and abstract data types.Chapters 2 and 3 explain the basics of abstract data types and process algebra, and guide the reader through the syntax and semantics of µCRL; Chap. 4 examines abstraction from internal behaviour; Chap. 5 covers specifications of standard protocols; Chap. 6 shows how to transform protocol specifications into labelled transition systems; Chap. 7 explains algorithms on labelled transition systems; and Chap. 8 presents symbolic verification techniques; finally, the Appendix gives a brief overview of the µCRL toolset. The book evolved from introductory courses on protocol verification taught to undergraduate and graduate students of computer science, and the text is supported throughout with examples and exercises; full solutions are provided in an appendix, while exercise sheets, lab exercises, example specifications and lecturer slides will be available on the author's website.Researchers in the field can use the book as a broad overview of the state of the art in algebraic specification and verification of distributed systems on the basis of a modern verification tool.

Patterns of Distributed Systems
A Patterns Approach to Designing Distributed Systems and Solving Common Implementation Problems More and more enterprises today are dependent on cloud services from providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP.They also use products, such as Kafka and Kubernetes, or databases, such as YugabyteDB, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Neo4j, that are distributed by nature. Because these distributed systems are inherently stateful systems, enterprise architects and developers need to be prepared for all the things that can and will go wrong when data is stored on multiple servers--from process crashes to network delays and unsynchronized clocks. Patterns of Distributed Systems describes a set of patterns that have been observed in mainstream open-source distributed systems.Studying the common problems and the solutions that are embodied by the patterns in this guide will give you a better understanding of how these systems work, as well as a solid foundation in distributed system design principles. Featuring real-world code examples from systems like Kafka and Kubernetes, these patterns and solutions will prepare you to confidently traverse open-source codebases and understand implementations you encounter "in the wild." Review the building blocks of consensus algorithms, like Paxos and Raft, for ensuring replica consistency in distributed systemsUnderstand the use of logical timestamps in databases, a fundamental concept for data versioningExplore commonly used partitioning schemes, with an in-depth look at intricacies of two-phase-commit protocolAnalyze mechanisms used in implementing cluster coordination tasks, such as group membership, failure detection, and enabling robust cluster coordinationLearn techniques for establishing effective network communication between cluster nodes. Along with enterprise architects and data architects, software developers working with cloud services such as Amazon S3, Amazon EKS, and Azure CosmosDB or GCP Cloud Spanner will find this set of patterns to be indispensable.

Are prime numbers randomly distributed?
No, prime numbers are not randomly distributed. They follow a pattern known as the Prime Number Theorem, which states that the density of prime numbers decreases as numbers get larger. While prime numbers do not follow a predictable sequence, they do tend to occur more frequently in certain ranges of numbers. This non-random distribution of prime numbers has been a subject of study in number theory for centuries.

Is the money distributed unfairly?
The fairness of money distribution can vary depending on the context and perspective. In some cases, it may be perceived as unfair if wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few individuals or if certain groups are systematically disadvantaged. On the other hand, some argue that money distribution is fair if it is based on merit, hard work, and contribution to society. Ultimately, the perception of fairness in money distribution is subjective and can be influenced by societal norms, values, and beliefs.
