Projective geometry has its roots in the study of perspective drawing. Artists developed some understanding of perspective intuitively, but a formal treatment was introduced by the Renaissance architects Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti in the 15th century. Mathematicians started developing the field a couple of hundred years later, asking questions about what properties of an object are preserved under projection.

America Is Drowning in Packages - The Atlantic

Even in the Amazon age, the volume of packages now delivered in the U.S. can sound completely absurd. In 2000, the United States Postal Service—the country’s biggest parcel shipper—delivered 2.4 billion packages. By 2022, that number had ballooned to 7.2 billion. UPS now handles 5.2 billion domestic packages annually, versus the 3.2 billion it handled in 2000, and Amazon’s logistics operation, which did not start delivering its own packages in earnest until 2018, has become the country’s third-largest shipper, delivering almost 5 billion (but not nearly all) of the company’s packages last year. And all of these packages are going to a customer base that has been trained by retailers to expect packages to arrive in just a few days—far faster than turnaround expectations used to be.

That Cool New Bookstore? It’s a Barnes & Noble. - WSJ

Daunt chose to salvage the Upper West Side shop with a $4 million renovation, the same cost as opening a new store of this size, because he felt the building itself was beautiful and the location on Broadway was ideal. He also thought the chain needed a strong presence in this bookish stretch of Manhattan. Coming from London, where there are several dozen Waterstones locations, he was dismayed to find only seven Barnes & Nobles in his “extraordinarily un-bookstored” new city.
