NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discourages 1-on-1s, and his reasoning makes a lot of sense. Coming from the CEO of a highly successful company like NVIDIA, that’s no small statement. But does it really?

The Deep Sea website by Neal Agarwal is around already for sometime. We find the Polar Bear at 24 meters deep, the Elephant Seal at 2394 meters deep, the Titanic at 3800 meters deep, and keep going until reaching The Challenger Deep, the deepest point in the ocean at 10924 meters.
