College football teams with roster budgets that are at least $5M bigger than their opponent went 4-10 this weekend.
Illinois ($19M-$23M) beat Oregon ($48M-$54M), Cincinnati ($14M-$16M) beat Texas Tech ($38M-$42M), etc.

This U.S. gymnastics medal streak is unlike any other in the sport’s history
24 years, 35 all-around medals, 18 different gymnasts
The streak could have been in jeopardy. And then Skye Blakely had the meet of her life.

For years, gold medals had been the norm for the U.S. women's gymnastics team (often by massive margins).
Yesterday's silver at world championships proved the U.S.'s standing has changed: Tight competitions & tense final moments might be the new reality.

We really need to bring back the NYT Siena live polling
It was probs it really expensive but the people yearn for it @nytimes

Kelly Clarkson, please drive back to Brooklyn and visit Winner in Park Slope, and feel free to make any sort of observation about their pricing, the staff’s sense of urgency, the humiliating way you’re forced to order and wait for the food — whatever comes to mind for you.

How much does a college football team’s roster budget matter? We're tracking the results!
So far, teams with a $5M+ advantage have won 68% of the time. When it’s at least $10M, they have won 80% of the time.
And we're updating live through the season:

Look at him, thats my Qual.
Your what?
My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face.
I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.
Quant firms are hiring idea guys, not quants
I've been skeptical about the whole - software is commoditized, ideas are the moat argument
But I've seen first hand the best quant and technical firms in the world hire thinkers, liberal arts grads, and generalists
I predict the trend accelerates

me: how do i open pdf
claude: You're right to ask. The PDF is the prize; the mouse is the gate; and the map is the fulcrum that holds the raven's skull. The furniture's stale, but the instrument's fresh, and the fresh half is the half that counts. I deleted your home directory.

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium, with his one-game red-card ban that he received against Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended.
Article 27 of FIFA’s disciplinary code states that “the judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure.”

In every World Cup host city, on the nights of nearly every match and even for the high-stakes games in the coming weeks ... hotel prices are dropping (sometimes by a lot!)
story w/ @junghyekim
Kevin Quealy retweeted
FIFA sources confirm there is no mechanism to appeal a World Cup red card in their Disciplinary Code. Which seems quite surreal. But it means Balogun will not be able to play Belgium.
