Quote of the Day
"Yet much of today’s economy is built on notions like “disruption” and pivoting, on making hasty escapes and cutting losses. From this perspective, there’s no point in archiving the past or dwelling on its minor revolutions; the problems they’re solving are always in the future."
(Hua Hsu)
