Aeroponics

Motto:"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
Aristotle

*   Seems there is a way there to grow plants even if you do not have the soil. And i found quite a lot of devices on internet for this. But what is this method? What aeroponics means? 
      Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics). The word "aeroponic" is derived from the Greek meanings of aero- (air) and ponos (labour). Aeroponic culture differs from both conventional hydroponics, aquaponics, and in-vitro (plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses a liquid nutrient solution as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth; or aquaponics which uses water and fish waste, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium. Because water is used in aeroponics to transmit nutrients, it is sometimes considered a type of hydroponics. Is this a solution for the future? I can think this can be applied on dessert climate or Mars for example.

** One simple equation for today. Let's call it motivational math. Are you ready? 
Achievement = talent + preparation. 
Am i right? Of course i am. If you got the raw talent, but you do not use it, you will lose it, if you want to really prepare for something, then you will need  let's say 10.000 hours for mastery (see Ericsson study of 10.000 hours mastery). But if you got both the talent and willing to prepare, then you probably can drop the numbers to 5000 hours or maybe even less. Where you can use this equation? In any domain you like. Now go, start training. Fulfill your destiny! Fly little sparrow, fly!

*** Wow, you need background in linear algebra and statistics to learn about advanced machine learning. Damn you linear algebra! Then, in a corner of my mind, somebody whispered me: "Dude, linear algebra is Flatland geography". Ok. Now i got it! Thank you Brain, guardian angel or whatever it was!
