It’s not a dumb question. There’s a technical reason behind it.

Computers use binary, which works naturally with powers of 2:

8 → 16 → 32 → 64 → 128 → 256 → 512 → 1,024.

Each step doubles the number of possible storage units, making memory chips and storage architectures easier to design and organize.

Could manufacturers make a 150GB or 300GB drive? Absolutely. There’s no rule against it.

But standard capacities based on powers of 2 are convenient for designing memory systems, while manufacturing economics, chip configurations, and product segmentation also influence what gets sold.

So it’s engineering first, with a bit of marketing layered on top.

Ben Affleck (Hollywood star & Artists Equity CEO) talks about how he fine-tunes open video models by unfreezing weights and trained only the last cinematic layer so a film crew can hit real production standards.

for context, Ben Affleck founded InterPositive in 2022, a 16-person AI shop for film post and Netflix bought it in March 2026 for $587 mn in cash.

He needed that model because public video models were trained on his peers' films, and he did not think that was a real business. So InterPositive raised money, shot its own dataset for 8 months on a controlled stage, and used it only as late-stage training.

Each new film then trains a private model on its own dailies, so the production keeps the footage and the learning. That is the product Netflix paid $587 million for.

Jorg van der Breggen, Manager Football Development at the Dutch FA, recently wrote:

“Stop making children stand as substitutes for a long game, or every week because your ego can't take losing a football match...

No one is going to remember the score of an U11 game in a couple of years time, but the kids will remember how you made them feel.”

We say youth foundational football is about development, but when a game becomes close, sometimes development suddenly becomes secondary to protecting the result.

That doesn’t necessarily mean a coach is deliberately excluding a child.

The problem is when it becomes a pattern, with the same players starting most weeks and the same children coming off first.

The same substitutes wait longer because the game is “too close” and gradually, current ability starts determining who receives the opportunities needed to improve their ability.

If a child needs more development, repeatedly giving them less football may reinforce the very gap we’re concerned about.

A few practical things can help:

→ Plan rotations before kick-off rather than making every decision according to the score.

→ Keep a simple record of playing time across several weeks. Patterns are easier to see when they are written down.

→ Rotate who starts rather than allowing children to become habitual substitutes.

→ Pay attention to how often “the game is too close” becomes the reason one particular child stays off.

Equal playing time doesn’t require coaches to obsess over every second, but children need meaningful opportunities to actually play the game.

You cannot develop players without giving them opportunities to play. After an U11 score has disappeared, a child may still remember being the one who regularly watched everyone else.

If the same child is regularly playing considerably less football than their teammates, what should justify that decision?
