Takeaways from "50 companies that changed the world"

Hello, how are you doing...? Recently came across a book called "50 companies that changed the world", which described the 50 America-based companies that created a huge impact during the 19th and 20th centuries... It has companies you know such as IBM, Microsoft, Sony, Ford, etc... but it also had a list of companies that many Non-American people may not know... But yeah, the book is about learning the nature of businesses and the issues that can occur when you want to give an impact at the International level The common things that can be observed across some/all companies, in general, can be summarised as follows: The basic trait: Common for all companies is that none of them kept on a continuous upward streak. Every company had its tough times which they had to face and overcome. Value the employees: Some companies treated the employees to the highest level, with insurance, staff quarters, etc. and some even supported the education of children of the employees. Discover y...

How binary complements give difference? #Insight #OpenLearn

Source: unsplash.com The Binary subtraction of two numbers, as you know consists of adding one number to complement of the other. The complement can be a 2s or 1s complement. Consider the subtraction with 2s complement. After adding with 2s complement of the other number, there are two cases:-  If carry occurs, ignore it, and the answer is the difference required. If carry does not occur, find the 2s complement of the result to get the magnitude of difference, and add a negative sign to answer... Now, we just go a little deep and try to make a sense of why these rules are framed...   Let A and B the two binary numbers of n bits, and we need to find A - B, which we do by finding 2s complementing of B and adding it to A We can write the expression as:-  A + 2s complement of B = A + (2 n - B)  = A - B + 2 n   Based on A is greater or lesser than B, we have two cases :- Case I: If A > B A - B + 2 n   = (A - B) + 2 n =  (required value) + 2 n Thus A -...

About the XAND..

 We have different kind of basic digital gates, such as NOT, AND, OR and the Universal gates. Besides those we knew about the XOR ( Exclusive-OR ) logic. But why are we not informed about XAND ( Exclusive-AND )..? To know about XAND possibility, let us see about the genesis of XOR.. The idea behind XOR gate: Consider we have two inputs and an output. The OR gives output logic '1' if at least one input is logic '1', and the truth table, as we know, looks like: A B Y = A OR B 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 To recognize the case of only one input getting '1', we are "excluding" the case of both events getting '1', creating the Exclusive-OR (So, the XOR truth table output is '0' if both inputs are '1'). A B Y = A XOR B 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 What about the XAND then..? If we adapt same explanation for the AND gate as well, we have to remove the case of getting A and B as '1' at the same time. In that case, we do not have any outp...

Why destruction is more favored than construction

  It is due to the principle: "The entropy (disorder) of the universe increases with time". This means, events that increase the entropy are supported, and the other events need effort... Hence destruction, that tries to increase the disorder can be achieved in a smoother way when compared to the construction... So what if we can reverse this property of entropy?? Yeah, that is what you observed in the Tenet... Hope you understood the post...  Do you also know such cool things? Don't forget to share in the comments section, and help us reach the 'Eternal Thing'... P.S. You can also express your ideas about this point of view through the comments..

Give time - A moral story #GetOverforYourself

  Lord Buddha was once travelling along with the disciples in a village. It was afternoon and unfortunately no one offered anything for their lunch. Buddha didn't utter a thing and continued the travel. But one of the disciples got hurt that none of the villagers respected the Buddha. This disturbed his inner peace and that further increased the hate... Buddha, however, got to know the struggle that disciple is going through. Buddha stopped and turned to him, and said "I am thirsty, could you bring me some water from the near by lake..". The disciple took an empty jar to bring water, but returned with the same empty jar... When Buddha asked why he didn't bring water, the disciple said, "Just before I reached the lake, a Bullock cart went across it to the other end. So the dirt present at the deep got mixed with the water." Buddha asked him to go after some time. But still the dirt didn't settle down. This repeated for five times. For the next time, the d...

'Network-on-a-chip' : A note on its Genesis

  We have been observing the boom of the "e-era", where the number of transistors per unit area and the corresponding speeds is increasing.  At the same time, we have to accept that we're gonna experience a maximum limit of speed with the materials we have now.. But hey, don't disappoint yet, we got a good news for you ! Well, the solution is not the discovery of a new material, but is inspired from the 'reliability' concept of our  'large-world' communication networks.. In short, our networks work like this: They don't want a 100% error-free communication;  They use a network of switches and routers, our signals takes many different paths, and experience random losses.. Designers allowed for errors to occur; In turn, they set up error-correcting circuits, that can quickly correct them  to a level that we cannot notice their effect.. (it's all about 'reliability' my friend..) Now, the main problem of our chips is "Interconnects...

Random Thoughts - Telugu and English... #TakeBreaks

    It's common that we will take brief breaks in between huge schedules... These thoughts are collected from people when they were taking those breaks... Some submitted in more than one language, where the other language versions are shown following the English Version... 1. "   Whether it's the cutting or growing of branches, The tree didn't utter a thing; Wondered where I could find a better philosopher...! " The Telugu Version:- " ఇంటిచెట్టు కొమ్మలు నరికినపుడు అది ఏ చప్పుడు చెయ్యలేదు. కొంతకాలానికి కొమ్మలు తిరిగి వచ్చినప్పుడూ శబ్దం లేదు.. బహుశా ఆ చెట్టు కంటే గొప్ప జ్ఞాని ఎవరూ ఉండరేమో...!! " 2. "If someone is judging you with your past,  they didn't realize a great mistake..." 3. "Communication -  It can help you from preventing relations; It can prevent you from helping relations" Thanks for reading:), these are the thoughts we have till now... Don't forget to share your opinions about the thoughts in the comment section......
