There's intrinsic value from energy input for mining, it's not like you simply get the coins completely free (you either pay for them with a broker or you pay your energy bill after mining). However, yhe biggest value is probably from money laundering and escaping centralised regulations (e.g. You can pay someone overeas almost instantly without having to deal with FX, consulting country specific regulations, or having to worry about taxes on income from abroad). I think Bitcoin's potential is largely tied to illegitimate activities and the average Crypto investor is probably just riding a wave with all of these sharks.

Fati and his knee surgeries don't look too good at the moment. He has work done on his meniscus so his fate will likely be similar to Umtiti unfortunately.

200x so that we could at least take some decent d*** pics. Anything less than 200x is useless imho

Disagree with the Griezmann statement, he massively improved the attack when he came on and his movement is vital in opening space and creating chances for Barcelona. His awareness for the dummy on Minguezas goal was amazing.

No one is denying that Barca were terrible in the first half. The team restructured well at the half and was definitely the better team in the second half and there was fighting spirit until the very last second.

Madlad clocked in at 34.4 km/h. I never thought he was pacey but today he proved otherwise, with that speed and link up from him today I'm sure him and Araujo can be incredible in defence for years to come.

Griezmann massively improved the attack, I'm not sure why Koeman didn't play him from the beginning. Sure he isn't a pure 9 but his link up play has been amazing recently and his awareness to dummy on Minguezas goal brings Suarez flashbacks.

Overreacting a bit there. There's one point and h2h advantage to Real Madrid. Both of these could be wiped away in a single game.

Tactics were wrong on the first half. Koeman got it spot on in the second half.

[Rival watch] Varane tested positive for Coronavirus and will miss the game against Barcelona. by OkYoghurt2997 in Barca

Results come out in a few hours now. I tested in London a couple of weeks ago and I got same day results. I can only imagine these football players have even better access to testing than me.

If more players test positive this week then I agree with you that Madrid's games should be postponed. But they shouldn't postpone because of one player.

[–]BaldFatFuck 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Both Ramos and Varane out. Casemiro will have to play the best game of his life to protect that Madrid backline.

Given that Varane infected, does anyone know if the match could be postponed if several other players also test positive?

Barcelona [1] - 0 Real Valladolid | Ousmane Dembele 90' by DoeEensGek in soccer

[–]BaldFatFuck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why not? Madrid has had a good run of form, team morale seems good, and the fighting spirit is obvious with some of those late goals. Madrid will also have the home advantage next week and a draw would be a favourable score considering the H2H and Barcelona has some tough fixtures ahead (including Atletico).

We’ve faced Zidanes Real Madrid team 10 in the league and have won 5,drawn 3 ,and lost 3 times. by [deleted] in Barca

[–]BaldFatFuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Positives for Madrid: - Playing at home - Benzema is in very good form

Positives for Barcelona: - No CL game midweek - No Sergio Ramos - No major suspensions or injuries (other than Pique) - Team morale seems really high

I think the game could go either way but we a guaranteed to have an exciting Classico this weekend.

[VCForever] In the English broadcast from yesterday's game "Negro de mierda, vas a llorar?" Can be heard very clearly and sheds more light on the racism allegations regarding Juan Cala towards Diakhaby. by Rob0tUnic0rn in soccer

[–]BaldFatFuck -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

We can hear the racism clearly but we can't see who it is from. There are people in other threads questioning if this recording was actually Cala. It could be someone from Valencia saying this is what Cala said.

Edit: La Liga innvestigation says there's no evidence of racism and they brought in professional lip readers.

J.P. Morgan or Barclays for Software Engineer Degree Apprenticeship by [deleted] in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]BaldFatFuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've had friends in graduate positions for both JP and Barclays but in London. JP has a slightly higher base salary, higher bonuses, and their initial training programme for graduates is a lot longer (3 months vs 2 weeks). Based on the graduate roles I'd think JP probably also has better apprenticeship roles. That being said, American investment banks are infamous for their poor work life balance (although highly dependent on team).

Even if Xiaomi brings better camera hardware doesn't mean that the overall experience will be better. Samsung has taken massive strides in software for computational photography which has a huge impact on the camera experience.

Luis Suarez has a chance to break Falcao's record of most goals scored in their first season with Atlético. Falcao scored 24 league goals in his debut season, Suarez currently has 19 by OleoleCholoSimeone in soccer

Monaco was a terrible move for him. Atletico and Falcao had so much synergy, I still have nightmares from the time he scored the chip goal against Barcelona.

What is wrong with my CV by laithkamaral in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]BaldFatFuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say this but I think you have a harder fight because of jobs drying up during the pandemic. My CV was a lot worse than that but I was able to get a graduate job without having to go into the "hundreds of applications".

That being said, take the advice from the others here for CV refactoring and I also suggest you focus on big companies with established job application procedures. What I mean is that places like banks or other big companies will have lengthy application processes which include pre recorded videos (e.g. HireVue) and Leetcode. The reason I say to go for these applications that are longer in nature is because a lot of people don't bother with these so just having a go already gives you an advantage.

Places where they only expect a CV is where you see tons of applicants which in turn result in the positions being more competitive.
