    Rosalía’s Malamente video is really well made. In fact, almost all music videos by CANADA are great.

    I would like to experience space, seeing Earth from another perspective, but I wouldn't leave it forever.

    Our planet is full of life and diversity. Travelling to another planet would feel like going to prison, limited to go to a few places, to eat a small selection of food and see the same dry landscape everyday.

    I don't think anyone expects to read for exactly X minutes. It's just a measure most of us will be translating to our own units without thinking: I can read much slower or faster than the standard reading time, it just has to be consistent for me to get an idea of how much time I will actually spend. The main objective of this metric it's not to be right, but to be easy to interpret and translate.

    I live in Spain. My school was in a small town, in the middle of nowhere.

    I remember one PE teacher told us we were lucky to have a school between mountains and trees. Once a week she would go with us to run in a small path between the woods. It was breathtaking, and a beautiful memory I'm lucky to have.

    There's a really interesting post linked in the article: Security and the Internet of Things, by Bruce Schneier. In the introduction he talks about a DDoS attack that used these IoT devices to knock off Twitter and other sites. The pollution is all the internet connected gadgets that are forgotten or no longer updated, used in these kind of attacks.
