In 2009, Pilot Sully landed a full fledged plane in New York’s Hudson river when its engines malfunctioned.

But as they show in theContinue reading “Algorithm isn’t the answer always”
All Pomp and No Shaw
Morgan Housel, whose writing is increasingly becoming most sought after for me, shared this wonderful little paragraph from a book called ‘The Secret Wisdom of Nature‘: In undisturbed ancient forests, youngsters have to spend their first two hundred years waiting patiently in their mothers’ shade.
