UEFA is the European Football Association in which all national football leagues are associated. They organize European tournaments in which the top clubs of these national leagues play each other, while also playing in their national leagues.

In the European Super League, a group of European top clubs wanted to establish a new league format, presumably leaving the UEFA tournaments and national competitions (although details have been vague). This would basically mean that UEFA itself would have competition by a new parallel organization.

The distress has its context in the ongoing struggle between commercialization of football and its "traditional" roots in which (local) sport clubs often form part of the identity of its supporters. This identity threatens to lose its basis when the commercialization makes the clubs more and more for-profit entertainment businesses.

One can argue about how far football already is down the line. But clearly, that supporter identification even with the largest clubs still persists.

How to define an arbitrary thing as a computing platform:

- Get a Hello World running on it. Proves it can compute.

- Write Snake or Asteroids for it. Proves it can be used as a computer. Alternative for web & mobile developers: write a TODO app for it.

- Port Doom to it. Proves it can do much more, and much faster, than what people are using it for.

> All those things will never break among the common folk.

To be fair, when I was a 10 year old kid in the nineties, I'd never ever suspect that everyone and their grandma* would be so internet savvy as they are.

* Obviously not all grandparents ;-) But I've seen quite a few grandparents of whom I'd never suspect to use internet services like WhatsApp.
> Just look at the relationship patterns of gay men vs. lesbian women. About 40% of gay men in America are in an open relationship. The practice is basically unknown among lesbians. Infidelity is reported as slightly more common among gay men than among heterosexuals. Nearly unknown for lesbians.

On the flip side though, homosexual men tend to have the highest relationship satisfaction levels nationwide:

https://www.advocate.com/people/2020/2/13/study-gay-people-h...

While female homosexual relationships tend to have the lowest satisfaction and heterosexual relationships fall right in the middle for both sexes.

There’s probably a lot to do with that (biological imperatives, DINC, etc); but it’s telling that people always point to high incidents of open relationships or promiscuity despite the evidence of happiness.

* Also worth pointing out that this only focuses on binary relationships and not alternative situations (translesbian/transgay, fluid, poly, etc).

> All the money is distributed across more teams.

And this is very important for the future of the sport. Without a portion of the money being funneled like this to the smaller teams there is no space for future talent to grow.

In Europe we effectively do not have collage sports so we have to actually pay our athletes in the lower levels so they can keep on improving until they are good enough to join the top level (or just keep on playing at that level if they already peaked as a good opponents for new talent to train against)

Well, I think of and hear a major third as the loveliest interval on a piano, not "rough stuttering"!
Continued fractions are quite awesome. Gospers monograph, which is also mentioned in the article, is quite readable: https://perl.plover.com/classes/cftalk/INFO/gosper.txt

One thing to watch out for is that when you compute floor(sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)), the computation will never finish. The reason is that continued fractions only compute approximations, so the approximation will only tell you that the result is very close to 2, but it might still be slightly above or below 2. That is, unless you implement some logic to deal with repeating coefficients, but then you will have the same problem with 1/pi times pi, for example.
That depends very much on what you're doing.
If you want to get party political abut it, smart motorways were introduced under Labour in 2006.
Socialism tries in increase wealth of individuals, just like capitalism does. The difference is that different flavours of socialism want to increase it across the board, where capitalism wants an individuals wealth to be very well protected, especially when the numbers get high, so that wealth may accumulate in few.

I find it fascinating that the original Monopoly game was desgined to teach us the difference and how Georgism (taxing bad behavior) may be used by "the people/democracy" to ensure capitalism is not the outcome.

Also very telling that the game was thn ripped off, and got popular as Monopoly, where the only set of rules are the capitalistic ones.

I don't think so. What is the "risky investment" here?

I compared lending of different currencies. In the case of Euros or Dollars, the lender is a government. In the case of crypto, the lender is a smart contract. Both are assumed to be reliable.
What about all the legitimate wire transfers from the US that Mexicans make back to their families. How are the money transfer services supposed to differentiate between ransom money and family support? And even if they could tell the difference, refusing to transfer the money would result in the hostages being killed. What a useless angle on a story!

In fairness, all of the smart motorways schemes follow the same path as the existing roads they replaced to my knowledge. I don't think there would have been a lot of scope to improve a lot of these factors when they were upgraded.

The overhead signage warning of problems ahead (until people get used to the fact that they are often left saying something which is no longer relevant), the variable speed limits and the enforcement cameras are the big differences.

I think any potential customers would understand that scaling isn't the point of the demo. It's unreasonable to assume that they'd infinitely scale a processing- and bandwidth-hog like this just for fun.
Totally agree with this

From 2006 until 2013 I met and dated nice and interesting girls my age using MySpace, LastFM and tumblr. It was only a couples, but as I am very introverted, this was already a lot to me.

It was all in the context of specific sub communities in context to specific art form, alternatives form of art, etc.

I had absolutely no chance on regular dating websites however.
someone does all their work in 4 hours instead of contracted 8? shouldn't that mean their workload is wrongly managed and estimated to be too low? middle management should be on their toes!
That does not answer my question: How a smart contract can implement lending in a way that both parties are satisfied:

- The lender gets their money back plus interest.

- The borrower makes a profit if the price of the borrowed currency goes up.
Sure, I guess I'll just have to take your word for it since I don't have an account. But the screenshots [1] and reviews [2] I've read seems to indicate the longer term buy back guaranteed loans are [pretty much in the lower end of the spectrum.

> There's the whole infrastructure behind it: thousands of nodes running the blockchain, thousands of applications running on it, developers in this sphere are very scarce because it's so complicated. If you wanted to try to create yet another "Ethereum killer", you would also need to convince developers to write apps on your chain, and people to run the nodes.

Are those things really needed to ...you know commercially sell the product to the public, give them ease of use and make money in the process?

Because if we must ride the blockchain thing for Venture Capital funding or to look hip among the public on twitter...well we can stick an ethereum logo on it and invite Vitalik to the company podcast.

An infertile woman is broken then?

Of course you can. 100% of non-broken computers can be used for computing -- the "non-broken" part is usually implied when talking about them. Same for lots of other categories. If the members of a category don't have any shared traits -- i.e. something that is true for all of them -- then what is it even useful for?
> I dislike the idea of trading carbon credits because it implicitly assumes that all the damage caused by greenhouse gas emissions is reversible. Sure, on a long enough time scale, it is a chemical process where the carbon dioxide emitted today is captured back into the ground. However, the loss of animal and plant life and the negative impacts on human beings are not reversible within the timespans of relevant entities. A family that loses their home because of rising sea levels submerging their home will likely never live in that home ever again in their lifetime.

Paying that family for the economic value of their home is not a complete replacement for the lost home. But it's a hell of a lot better than giving them nothing, which seems to be the usual alternative. Tradeable carbon credits seem to be the least-bad option that's actually workable.

Haha, this was my experience with Cubase. Then one day, I came into a music shop complaining about Cubase. The guy showed me how to hook up a simple VSTi, and I was hooked. I discovered Reason soon after.

Then there was this Dutch House DJ, A-lusion (I think that was his name). He said he used Reason in combination with Cubase.

That got me really really hooked.

Then I found some videos of some hip hop artist, showing how he made hip hop beats in Reason.

That got me so hooked that I still want to go back to that time. But alas, I'm programming. I like programming, but producing music was my passion back in the day.
In the early days linux was great as a hobby if you liked tweaking things and learning (and also as a server) but Windows XP really was the best desktop at the time.

It might be a fun day to fire up Windows XP in a VM and see how well it can do with a modern browser and 4K screen.

A timezone can’t be encoded with a Unix time stamp, or a date without a time, or just a time. Unix timestamps ignore leap seconds and treat days as 86400 seconds, so it doesn’t correspond directly to UTC. And they aren’t readable by humans. There are many reasons Unix timestamps aren’t appropriate for encoding a date and time.

Out of curiosity, how often do violations of open source software licenses result in enforcement (e.g. court case)? Even then, it seems the worse case is a requirement retroactively adhere to the license — monetary penalties seem like they wouldn’t apply to something being given away at no charge anyway, right?

As a independent open source author, if big corp doesn’t abide by my license, am I really going to pay lawyers from my modest savings to sue them so that they abide by my license? Seems there’s a practical asymmetry that makes open source licensing largely theoretical for all but a handful of the biggest projects out there. Of course, I’d very much like to be proven wrong.
It will likely not fail due to a direct attack on PoS. Ethereum has shown they are willing to rollback the chain in case of attacks.

> If you know it's happening, you'll just gift what you own to the preferred recipients before you die.

You can treat all gifts a year or less before the date of death as inheritance. Many wealthy parents will be hesitant to give large amounts of money to children while in good health, as they're scared children won't care about them any more once they get their money.

Except in a star anytime you get two particles interacting enough to potentially fuse, that's potentially a fission event as well. There's no rule which says any given nuclear interaction is fission or fusion: that's what we conclude after it happens.

So in a star creating regular fusion events, even an errant heavier nuclei is going to eventually be decayed down to Fe (or head off to become a heavy element in the upper crust).

You still need KYC at entry and exit points into the crypto market (e.g. Coinbase), you still need to transfer fiat money onto exchanges via traditional payments infrastructure.

The decentralised, utopian vision only works if the entire game is played there.

Also, a side note, KYC is a good thing for things like AML. The ability to dispute with centralised orgs like banks is a good thing; the major issue with decentralised solutions is that there's no accountability for issues like fraud.
Wait this isn't remotely true. Maybe from a specific American perspective that could be true but for the vast majority of people and countries Youtube has promoted free speech by allowing people to share their opinions and stories globally, especially in countries like China, Russia and the Philippines where dissent is punishable with jail time.
Like this?

0: Holder has ETH

1: Holder borrows Tether, provieds ETH as collateral

2: Holder uses Tether to buy a house

3: Holder borrows Dollar, provides house as collateral

4: Holder buys Tether with Dollar

5: Holder pays back Tether, gets back ETH.

6: Holder now has ETH + House + Dollar Dept

If so, why couldn't they lend the dollars to buy the house in the first place? The bank which lends the dollars certainly could make a contract that the dollars only can be used to buy the house?

> Certainly with $100T it would work.

That's more dollars than are in existence, by the narrower money supply definitions.

> I was surprised how little reserves seemed to be needed to make Tethers work.

An ordinary bank has maybe 10% reserves. Tether had a whopping 70%, if you assume that this money actually exists.

Of course it could all be make-belief. You can fool some of the people, all of the time.

> But at some point currency traders will get involved and find ways to short the new currency.

That's not necessarily a problem. You can do that with Tethers and wait for some big dump to lower the price. As long as the currency is backed by withdraw-able US-dollars, there's little opportunity for profit, it just doesn't make sense to sell low.

My least favourite thing is when they apply a patently absurd speed limit, I've seen 20mph signs on the M25 when traffic is moving freely.

Flutter with its Dart language and an own VM is not a goal for .NET. This is the .NET team building a UI framework for C#/CLR/.NET developers. Flutter is different from WebAssembly (which is more a CPU architecture) in that regards. From a .NET team perspective, they see themselves (most likely rightfully) as a full stack competitor to JavaScript and Java and that requires Browser, Apps/Desktop, Server, Web Pages and native Cloud in the portfolio. Dart, Go and even mighty Python are not in the place were .NET, Java and JavaScript is in this regards (yet and from a non-hacky perspective ;)).

I'm building SwanLove (https://swan.love) to address this issue.

> Using social media for dating

In SwanLove, you can verify your Linkedin profile. Basically you put some random string generated in SwanLove in a public post and tell SwanLove about it. SwanLove will open the webpage and check the username and the random string to verify the ownership of the Linkedin profile.

This way, we can separate people who want to date in Linkedin into a dedicated group. So we don't bother/flirt with other people in Linkedin.

Same idea can be applied to other social medias, like GitHub, Twitter, Strava. Basically SwanLove adds dating to any social media.

> And your attractiveness level is based on this whole gestalt

So I plan to add accomplishments in the dating profile on SwanLove. You can send your payslip to me so I can verify it. Then you can flex your income. You can link your Ethereum account to your dating profile so you can flex your wealth (your Eth balance, your CryptoPunk, your virtual pets in Axie Infinity). You can link your Twitter to your dating profile so you can flex your number of followers. You can link your Chess.com account to flex your intelligence in playing chess. I imagine, there will be a gym which can release a certificate of fitness. Then you can flex your physical fitness. You can link your Kaggle, Toastmaster, etc, to your dating profile. You get the idea.

This way, a man who is not tall and photogenic has a better chance to show his values to women.

I have applied to YC but I don't think I can make it this time. The product is still rough. Perhaps in next batch, I'll have a better chance. :)
Takeaways of Starting as an Software Engineer Graduate at Klarna
Xamarin was a company that produced several things. The AOT toolchain was fully integrated as a first party part of .NET 5.0.

Site note: 5 eliminates "framework" and "core"; 5 is technically a descendent of the core family (also skipping 4.x versioning, as it overlaps with framework 4.x), but satisfies all the requirements of apps that use framework 4.x. Ergo, "framework" is available on non-Windows targets and you no longer need to choose.

Xamarin also produced an entire UI framework. WinUI 3 (/w MAUI for non-Windows) is the intended upgrade path of Xamarin Forms, while the rest of Xamarin UI that isn't part of Forms lives on either in WinUI 3 or has designated replacements. In many cases, the upgrade is merely changing your `using` lines.

Side note: Uno has been using non-Forms Xamarin UI like this for years, substituting Xamarin's functionality when you're not on Windows.
