Siempre cuento que este artículo de @perezreverte es probablemente el texto que más profundamente ha cambiado mi forma de ver el mundo. Lo leí cuando tenía 17 años y de vez en cuando lo comparto por aquí: Parejas venecianas (19 de enero de 1997)

Why do we do math in school?

When I asked this question as a kid, my teachers always told me, "You'll use it one day."

That's almost always false.

Most adults are never going to be in a sticky situation with two binomials, thinking, thank goodness I can FOIL my way out of this mess. Most of us get by just fine without ever solving for x again.

And especially in an Al age, fewer and fewer people will
"use math" in the narrow, practical sense.

But the origins of math have never been primarily about utility.

Math is formative. It trains the mind to love what is true, to recognize what is orderly, and to be drawn toward what is beautiful. It teaches us that the universe is not chaos, but something intelligible, something structured, something that can be known.

And you can see that truth made visible in the world's most breathtaking churches and cathedrals: arches, vaults, domes, proportions, symmetry, harmony, light-geometry turned into glory. The mathematics that shapes a cathedral is not cold or sterile. It's the language of wonder, carved into stone.

We don't teach math because everyone will use it.

We teach math because it forms the kind of person who can see that reality has meaning.

Luck is a factor quite often heavily overlooked. Even in cases of extreme effort, many times, luck plays such a large role. The longer you are involved, the more you prepare, while leaning into keeping a curious open mind could greatly increase the math that luck might show up.

Today's Oscar-qualified short is 'The Quinta’s Ghost,' a haunting, painterly vision from Spanish director James A. Castillo that dives inside Francisco de Goya’s darkest nightmares.

I shot all their scenes together at 36 frames per second so I could slow down certain moments/Gestures (wedding dress moth flutter float) or speed them (her face trembling in glove scene) and you can feel that effect leaning on every emotional beat…

story behind "why netflix built https://t.co/YDCurkt2BM" is brilliant.

so, netflix had a massive fight with ISPs around 2014-2016. ISPs were slowing down netflix on purpose. they wanted more money from netflix

customers got bad streaming. but ISPs just blamed netflix.

netflix had to pay comcast, verizon, at&t and time warner for direct connections to their networks.

but in 2016, they launched fast dot com, clever part - It's not testing your general internet speed. It's testing your speed to netflix's servers specifically. so when someone complained about buffering, netflix could say "run fast dot com." If it's slow, the ISP is the bottleneck.

suddenly millions of people had a tool to prove their ISP was the problem
ISPs couldn't hide anymore.

netflix positioned themselves as the transparent good guys fighting for customers while ISPs looked like greedy monopolies

they solved a pr problem and a customer service problem with one simple website

I guess, that's how you win a corporate war
