I LOVE this. Absolutely love it. Set out the rules ahead of time, tell people clearly how they will be judged, and now let them compete within those rules. This is the very essence of sport. I hope this sets a precedent. Great move from the #f1 stewards. Football referees could learn from this - show players a highlight reel before the match, explain what will be allowed, what gets a 🟨, and what gets a 🟥

It is this simple: No United fan disagrees with him. Some may question when/how. But nobody says he is wrong. Licha will NEVER upset me by caring too much.

@OED - please add this as the canonical definition of dilemma.

The problem for Manchester City is this: If those leaked/hacked emails are real, they are guilty. Their own words prove that they knew they were cheating and did it anyway. But what if those emails are fake? Proving a negative is, generally, hard. But anyone who knows about email journaling and compliance archiving, it’s pretty easy to prove beyond a reasonable doubt if those emails were fake. So the longer this goes on, the less likely it is that they can do that. 8 years? Guilty.

Please don’t abandon the town square. The world is better when we all come together 🙂

Both Max and Lewis would have been deserving champions. But we never got to find out, because the Race Director abandoned the regulations, made up a new rule on the spot, and knew - or should have known - that he was benefiting one driver. That is not sport.

I’d say “Works okay but has solevable* problems” *i.e., which can be solved by doing the maintenance that was/should have been forecast as part of the initial go-live.

Custom font sizes for secondary timing windows (eg Race Control messages) for readability when the laptop is across the room plugged into the TV.

For whatever it’s worth, your total openness to having your work built upon is exactly why most people will choose to stay with you. The mindset of “I don’t like $person, so I suggest we all go and work somewhere else” is antithetical to good software development.

The whole world was supporting England, and we decided to give them the full, authentic experience. Only 694 days until Euro 2028!

I would say that if Count Binface wins an election dressed as Count Binface, then the people he represents expect him to represent them dressed that way, Showing respect for the House means showing respect for the electorate first and foremost. It is the House of Commons.

“Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. […] When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined.” cc @fia 👀
