This Barcelona squad will need at least 2 more years to get in shape and in the situation to be on the top tier teams in Europe. But at the moment, they are a lower A-tier team I have to say.
But I have to admire Xavi with how well he has done with the huge duty on his shoulders. Even at a time, Barca weren't even top 10. But now they are 5th placed and the influence of him on the squad is visible. I'd say that give this team time, and Xavi some more time, and Barcelona will turn around.
Xavi's work methods are respected, but I don't think they are relevant for modern football. Firstly, no one will give a coach 2 years to experiment. The result is needed here and now and at the moment Barcelona is pretty bad with this - it has already been eliminated from the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup and the Spanish Cup. A difficult play-off with Napoli is ahead. Secondly, the result is needed in order to retain good players and attract new stars. Top players prefer to play in existing top clubs and not to bet on promising ones. |

It has been rumoured that Inter are seriously interested in making an offer for Juventus striker Paulo Dybala. As you all indicated, Dybala is not intending to extend his current contract with Juventus. As he has less than six months left on his contract, this means that any team can sign him without paying any transfer fee. As his current value is 50 million euros, it would be frustrating for Juventus to let him go for free. His statistics so far has been decent. He got 7 goals and 3 assists in 17 Serie A matches.
Dybala is not a super striker, but if you sign him for free, it will be a success for any club. By the way, perhaps Juventus will not be very worried about the departure of Dybala, since he has a salary like that of a star football player, while he rarely shows a star game. Maybe I'm subjective, but Juventus need a top striker (like Ronaldo who left the club) who will consistently give results and not with big swings. |

Еще одна потенциально громкая новость: YouTube рассмотрит возможность интеграции NFTYouTube изучает возможность добавления для создателей контента опций, связанных с NFT. Об этом заявила CEO платформы видеохостинга Сьюзан Войчицки, пишет Bloomberg.источникОчень интересно, что это будут за опции, и не будут ли они такими провальными как в случае с Twitter.

really cool, thanks for all the information @Boristhecat
we'll probably see more and more online chess tournaments if this trend keeps going, it's different than physical ones but you are right, players save so much with hotels, flights, etc...
are there tournaments that big on all game styles? including rapid ones like 5-15 minutes?
First time I hear about a prize so big for an online chess tournament
The situation with the virus blew up the world of online chess, many tournaments have already been held online and new ones have appeared: Magnus Carlsen launches online chess super-tournament Quite a spectacular format and a large prize pool: The Magnus Carlsen Invitational
The $250,000 event starts on April 18th and ends on May 3rd, with the following format:
8 players first compete in a single round-robin over 7 rounds
Each match features four 15+10 rapid games, where the winner gets 3 match points & the loser 0
If the match ends 2:2 an Armageddon game (5 vs. 4 minutes) is played, with the winner getting 2 points and the loser 1
The top four players after Round 7 enter the Final Four knockout - if match points are equal, game points are the first tiebreaker
The semi-finals, and final use a similar 4-game match system, except a 2:2 draw will be followed by two 5+3 blitz games, and if still drawn another two 5+3 games, and only then Armageddon It was a whole series of tournaments with a different (arbitrary) set of players, so even not the top grandmasters had a chance to prove themselves. Now the situation with the virus is calming down and we see the return of classic tournaments (like the one that is going on now), but I think online tournaments will not disappear anywhere, as they attract a huge audience due to the spectacular format. |

Haaland does have a huge impact on Dortmund's performance as he's scoring a large percentage of their goals and there is no one denying the ability of him in terms of scoring goals.
But I have to say that when Haaland was injured, Dortmund didn't have a huge lot of problems in the scoring department. Maybe they struggled in a few matches but they overall did okay without him.
To understand the importance of an individual player, you need a distance greater than a few matches, football is a team sport, so the individual contribution of even a star player is very difficult to evaluate. For example, when Ronaldo left Juventus, the team found itself in a deep crisis and this manifested itself very quickly, although formally there were two more very good strikers in the team - Dybala and Morata. Haaland is very important for Borussia and they will have to look for an adequate replacement for him if he leaves. |

Ущерб от отключения электричества в Казахстане, Киргизии и Узбекистане составит сотни миллиардов долларов, по заявлению экономиста Михаила Беляева
-skip-
Насчет сотен миллиардов долларов он преувеличил, но то что ущерб больше чем вся прибыль от майнинга (для государства) бесспорно. Вот и последствия, пока непонятно временные или плавно перейдут в постоянные: Майнеров в Казахстане на неделю отключили от энергоснабженияКазахстанский оператор по управлению электрическими сетями KEGOC принял решение временно отключить от энергоснабжения предприятия, которые занимаются майнингом криптовалют в стране. Майнерам уже разослали письма с предупреждением об отключении.источникНу и продолжают нагнетать, похоже "серым" игрокам пора обеляться (а это повышает издержки) либо вовсе искать новое пристанище: По данным оператора, «серые» майнеры потребляют вдвое больше электроэнергии, чем легальные.
Депутаты казахстанского Мажилиса требуют взять под контроль подключение майнеров в наименее обеспеченных электроэнергией регионах. Об этом сообщает «Казинформ».
По словам Ержана, сейчас в стране официально работает около 70 компаний — они потребляют в сумме около 700 МВт. Однако на «серых» (нелегальных) майнеров приходится в 2 раза больше — свыше 1400 МВт, добавил депутат.
Из-за однобокого регулирования страдают в основном «белые» майнеры, в то время как на «серых» добытчиков у KEGOC «управы нет». Они уклоняются от налогов, продавая добытые цифровые активы на зарубежных биржах.источник |

World Cup every two years is feasible and the other competitions could adapt their schedule to be in between. For example World Cup 2022-2024-2026, the others 2023-2025-2027 but of course they have to get ride from useless competitions like Nations Leagues.. and mix AFCON with qualifiers or dunno
Taking into account the qualifying cycles, the load on the players will increase very much (even now it is prohibitive), which means that this will lead to the players ignoring some tournaments. Or even clubs will ban them from participating in international matches. Therefore, such changes can lead to the opposite effect - they will reduce the attractiveness of national team matches for spectators. |

These matches can go either way. It's nice to see that low-rated teams can still do well. Many teams have a few good players but the rest is a lot less. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a champion in this tournament where no player plays in a top team of a top European competition. Lots of mistakes are made, but that adds to the entertainment value.
Unfortunately, the success of weak teams is due more to the poor performance of the favorites than to the increased level of all teams. I don't understand why the clear favorites play against underdogs relying on defense and as a result, ridiculous illogical goals decide the fate of the match. It seems to me that if several teams from South America or Europe (not the strongest) played in this tournament, they would have won this tournament with a crushing score. |

Juventus from the very beginning of the championship has been experiencing problems with the attack - the departure of Ronaldo, then the injuries of Dybala and Morata. But now the situation is returning to normal and Juventus often scores several goals, while at the beginning of the championship their performance was worse. The result against Milan is not as good as it could be, but not bad either. An away draw against a team in second place is a success for Juventus in the current state.
Yes, that's true and this League is really keeping the viewers interested. Actually, from top to bottom the teams are not really far from each other in terms of points. And the top 6 positions are really open for the taking for anyone. And I strongly believe that Juventus can make it to the top 4. But they have to play much better. Well at least better than they have played in the Milan vs Juventus match. And their strikers need to be able to score more goals. I think only Atalanta has a chance to get close to the top three, they have a game in hand and if they win it they will be only 3 points behind. Juventus, of course, has a chance to enter the top 4, but I doubt about the top 3 - a lead of 7 points gives the teams the opportunity to completely lose points in two matches and still stay ahead. This is a very serious advantage. |

В Казахстане, Кыргызстане и Узбекистане произошли масштабные перебои с электричествомисточникИз статьи узнал, что энергосистема этих трех стран фактически остается единой еще со времен СССР. Сегодня из-за аварии в электросетях Казахстана произошли каскадные отключения во всех трех странах, причем пострадала критически важная инфраструктура: метро, аэропорты, канатные дороги, водоснабжение, отопление и т.д. Учитывая произошедшую гигантскую миграцию майнеров из Китая в Казахстан нетрудно предположить, что это произошло в том числе из-за них (по крайней мере власти могут сделать такую версию официальной). На мой взгляд риски бана/ограничения майнинга становятся критическими - власти с этой деятельности особо много не имеют, а если и имеют, то это явно не перевешивает рисков от отключения жизненно важной инфраструктуры (которая может повлечь народные волнения), поэтому рискну предположить, что скоро мы услышим новости о каких-то ограничительных мерах. Будет занимательно, если майнеры убежавшие из Китая, будут вынужденны убегать из Казахстана.

Для возможного запрета подобные сложности иллюзорны, потому что все активы на базе распределённого реестра прекрасно формализуются скопом. А там, где речь идёт не о запрете всего и вся, а о процедуре взимания налогов, то пока обычно сейчас прописывают практику взимания налогов при выходе в фиат, потому что там тоже не требуется всей кутерьмы с поименованием конкретных активов и их оценкой: как сам вывел в фиат, так и появилась прибыль.
Возникновение коллизий все-таки неизбежно, будет множество пользователей которые будут фиксировать свои доходы, к примеру, в USDT и спокойненько пользоваться этим стейблом как фиатом (возможности прикладного применения шире с каждым годом). И что тут делать? Вроде и обложить налогом хочется/надо, но признавать USDT фиатом нельзя как и из идеологических соображений (ставить вровень государственный фиат и фактически частные деньги) так и формально (USDT даже формально не равен USD). Я где то читал, что в штатах на полном серьёзе рассматривают возможность взимания налогов с учётом нереализованной прибыли и упущенной выгоды, а дурной пример заразителен,...
Эти безумные идеи (налог на прирост капитала) выдвигались чисто ради популизма и ничего серьезного под собой не имели. После того как тот же Маск поглумился над инициаторами, и популизм заработал в обратную сторону, всё утихло. |

Chance for PSG and Manchester City win champion league in this season look joke because they not have mentality how to be the winner in champion league competition, City success reach final stage last year but defeat by Chelsea have under position on the table at primer league than Manchester City, although success get primer league trophy is not guarantee with City can defeat Chelsea on final stage of champion league, for PSG I don't see need to be favorite team because inconsistent performance in champion league group we can see how long PSG step on champion league.
I agree about PSG, because they were average in the Champions League group stage and they had a lot of difficult games in the French league. But City seem to be dominant here and there, much like Bayern, but Bayern have had several failed matches this season, which is probably why they are ranked slightly lower than City. Yes, each team can win, but these odds seem reasonable to me. |

Manchester city could still losing many points through the draw and losses. the unexpected draw and losses , to be clear.
southampton scored first and hold city draw is the prove , eventhough manchester city beat all the big six , if they lost or draw to a club like southampton or crystal palace , i cant see manchester city are the absolute premier league winner. the chance for the top 5 to get the 1st place always wide open.
Here are the three contenders for the title and their odds according to the bookies: Manchester City FC 1.11Liverpool FC 7.65 Chelsea FC 82.00 City are not technically champions yet, but are you willing to risk your money and bet on another team? The bookmakers are willing to risk the quality of their expertise and rank City as the de facto champion this season. And the rest of the teams have no chance - here are the rest of the top five: Tottenham Hotspur FC 280.00 Arsenal FC 375.00 |

Twitter представила опцию верификации NFT в виде фото профиляTwitter интегрировала возможность добавления NFT в качестве аватаров профиля. Опция доступна на iOS подписчикам премиум-сервиса Twitter Blue после привязки Ethereum-кошелька к аккаунту в соцсети. источникКазалось бы крутой юзкейс NFT (уникальный аватар которого ни у кого нет), но буквально в течении суток был реализован простейший алгоритм, позволивший пользователю установить аватар Криптопанка, которым он реально не обладает (сохранение картинки -> загрузка на rarible -> выпуск "оригинального" NFT -> привязка к профилю твиттер). Плюс есть еще более простой способ - использование любого графического редактора для создания аватара, визуально неотличимого от аватара с верифицированным NFT. В итоге новшество только открыло дорогу для новой волны мошенничеств, где невнимательные пользователи будут обмануты фейковыми владельцами дорогих NFT.

Вы наверно очень уверены в себе, раз решили на медвежьем (уже похоже на факт) рынке создать такой публичный фонд. Желаю успехов.
В чем плюсы для потенциальных участников? Фонд публичный, почему просто не копировать портфель?

To be honest, Juventus had some really great chances to do score in that match but they failed to do so. They had better possession of ball and also had a few shots but I am actually surprised to see that they didn't have even one shot on target.
They had a really good chance to take the spot of Atlanta but now they have to wait and see if Atalanta loses their next match.
For me, I didn't see that hunger in the strikers to score goals. But still, they have a good chance to be in the top four.
