CPU is the central processing unit of a computer and it takes time to process data. That time is very short for computers but Bill Gates needed a week to process data and think about new ideas. He would read an average of 17 books during these think weeks.
He would go to a cabin on a lake, with a pen and paper and Diet Coke, no electronics other than occasionally. Here are some photos I took off a documentary on Netflix titled: Inside Bill’s Brain.

Detroit Public Schools compared to Detroit Charter Schools:
– teachers had double the pay on average
– classrooms had less students (avg 22)
– received $13,743 per student compared to the avg $7131 for charter schools.

This rock is a history book of 350 Million years of history. Each inch narrates a history of about 10,000 years. Every page of this book, with all the plant and animal fossils within it, matches the model of evolution. Not one contradiction. Not one exception. Never has been a theory more proven in science, to the extent that it is now the basis of all modern understanding of science.
Unfortunately, as an engineer, I didn’t get to understand it till I was in my late 20’s.
