Ήξερες ποια χώρα αγαπάει την Ελλάδα περισσότερο μετά τους Έλληνες.
Μια χώρα στον κόσμο γιορτάζει την 25η Μαρτίου και την 28η Οκτωβρίου με ουρουγουανά παιδιά, ουρουγουανούς δασκάλους σε ουρουγουανά σχολεία που δεν έχουν δει ποτέ ελληνική θάλασσα. Λέγεται Ουρουγουάι. Ουρουγουάι ήταν από τις πρώτες χώρες στον κόσμο που αναγνώρισε το ελληνικό κράτος. Μια μικρή χώρα της Νότιας Αμερικής που μόλις είχε κερδίσει και αυτή την ανεξαρτησία της, είδε την Ελλάδα να πολεμά και είπε «Αυτοί είναι σαν εμάς». Η σημαία τους είναι σχεδόν ίδια με τη δική μας, γαλάζιο και άσπρο. Ο κεντρικότερος δρόμος της παλιάς πόλης λέγεται Γκρέσια, έξω από την Εθνική Βιβλιοθήκη, χτισμένη σε δωρικό ρυθμό. Στέκεται άγαλμα του Σοκράτη. Τουλάχιστον 6.000 Ουρουγουανί μιλούν ελληνικά. Υπάρχει δημόσιο σχολείο που ονομάζεται Γκρέσια, με Ουρουγουανά παιδιά που κάθε εθνική μας γιορτή τραγουδούν, απαγγέλουν ποίηματα.
Η Ουρουγουάη ονομάζει τους δρόμους της με ονόματα των δικών μας ηρώων και γιορτάζει τις εθνικές μας γιορτές με δάκρυα στα μάτια. Η Ουρουγουάη ο πραγματικός φύλακας της ελληνικής ψυχής.

In everything I’ve read, I’ve yet to see a single equity bull who thinks anything other than:

1. Inflation is just oil
2. Peak hawkishness is priced in
3. If they hike they will then reverse and cut
4. There is no way they hike more than what’s priced.

This worries me.

🚨🗣️NEW: Zlatan Ibrahimović on FIFA’s new mouth-covering red card rule: as Almiron was given a red card for covering his mouth in the game between Paraguay and Turkey

“I have seen football at its highest level, the real football. Not this watered-down version they are serving us now. What happened with Almirón? A straight red card for covering his mouth? This is not football anymore. This is a circus run by bureaucrats in suits who have never felt the fire of the pitch.”

“Covering your mouth is now a red card? What is this, Big Brother on the field? FIFA wants to read lips, punish thoughts before they even become words. Next they will put muzzles on players like dogs. Players cannot even talk, cannot even breathe passion without some VAR robot or referee deciding your emotions are illegal. This is dystopian. Football is dying.”

“This rule was born because some players cry every week. One incident in the Champions League and suddenly the whole world must change. But elbow a man, break his leg, or spit — sometimes you get a yellow and a pat on the back. Two-tier football. Protect the protected, punish the rest. I have played in every league and I have seen it.”

On the softness of the modern game:
“Maradona would be sent off in the tunnel. Roy Keane? He would laugh at the referee and walk off with a smile while the stands burn. Pepe would have collected five reds before half-time. Today? Players are becoming actors, not warriors. They fall, they cry, they hide behind rules. Where is the masculinity? Where is the character? Football is not ballet. It is war. And they are turning it into a polite conversation with red cards as punctuation.”

“I, Zlatan, have scored goals that made stadiums shake and said things that made opponents tremble — without hiding. This generation is being raised soft. If you cannot handle words on the pitch, how will you handle life? FIFA is not protecting football. They are burying it. And one day, the real fans will rise and say: enough. Bring back the game.”

A Danish engineer dropped out of university in 1979, wrote a Pascal compiler so fast it made Borland a hundred-million-dollar company, then built the language that became the backbone of Microsoft's entire software ecosystem, then built TypeScript, which became the number one language on GitHub in 2025 and most developers who use his work every day have never heard his name.

His name is Anders Hejlsberg.

He was born in Copenhagen in 1960, started studying engineering at the Technical University of Denmark in 1979, and left before finishing his degree because he was already building something more interesting than anything his courses could offer.

He had access to a minicomputer at his high school, one of the first in Denmark to have one. He taught himself machine code, Algol, and Pascal.

By the time he was supposed to be finishing his degree, he had already written a Pascal compiler from scratch for the Nascom-2 microcomputer. He released it under the name Blue Label Pascal.

A small Danish software company called PolyData picked it up. Borland, the American developer tools company, found it and saw immediately what they had. They licensed the compiler, brought Hejlsberg to California, and in November 1983 released it as Turbo Pascal.

The price was $49.95. At the time, most Pascal compilers cost hundreds of dollars and ran slowly. Turbo Pascal was cheap and compiled code so fast that developers could not believe it was real. One reviewer read the speed claims on the box, assumed they were marketing fiction, tested it, and then wrote that he had never seen anything like it.

The product sold over one million copies. Borland became a serious company almost overnight, and Hejlsberg was the reason.

He kept building. He became chief architect of Delphi in 1995, Borland's rapid application development environment built on Object Pascal. Delphi let Windows developers build full graphical applications faster than anything else available.

It dominated enterprise Windows development through the mid-1990s. Teams that used it could ship in weeks what their competitors took months to build.

Microsoft noticed. In 1996 they made him an offer. He left Borland and joined Microsoft, and the project they handed him was the one that would define the next decade of enterprise software.

He designed C#.

Released in 2000 alongside the .NET Framework, C# was built to be modern in ways Java was not. Clean object orientation. Garbage collection. Strong typing.

A syntax familiar enough that Java and C++ developers could pick it up quickly but designed without the legacy decisions those languages had accumulated over decades. Hejlsberg later said one of his goals was to make the language feel inevitable, as if every decision was the only sensible one.

It worked. C# became the primary language of Microsoft's entire development platform. It powers enterprise applications, game development through Unity, cloud services on Azure, and Windows applications across hundreds of millions of machines. Around 6.2 million developers write C# professionally today.

Then he did it again.

By 2010, JavaScript had become unavoidable. Every web application ran on it. But JavaScript had been designed in ten days in 1995 for simple browser scripting, not for building complex systems with large teams. As codebases grew to hundreds of thousands of lines, the lack of a type system meant bugs that a compiler would have caught in any other language were only discovered in production.

Hejlsberg saw the problem clearly and spent two years designing a solution.

TypeScript launched in 2012 as an open-source typed superset of JavaScript. You write TypeScript, and it compiles down to plain JavaScript. The type system catches errors before the code runs. Large teams can work on the same codebase without breaking each other's code. Every major JavaScript framework adopted it. Google, Airbnb, Slack, and Microsoft all moved their codebases to TypeScript.

In August 2025, TypeScript overtook Python and JavaScript to become the number one language on GitHub by monthly contributors.

He is 65 years old. He is still at Microsoft as a Technical Fellow. He is still working on TypeScript.

Four languages. Four decades. Turbo Pascal made developer tools affordable and fast. Delphi made Windows application development accessible. C# became the backbone of enterprise software. TypeScript became the dominant language of the modern web.

Most of the developers using his work right now are too young to know what Turbo Pascal was. They learned to code in languages that borrowed from C#. They write TypeScript every day without knowing who designed it.

He dropped out of university in 1979 to build a compiler.

He has not stopped since.

Still a good book and available on our web site, although not in paper form any more.

[Georgios Lidis @georgioslidis]

Many scholars worldwide say that φιλότιμο (philotimo) is one of the hardest words to translate fully into another language

The word comes from:

φίλος (philos) = friend, love
τιμή (timí) = honor, dignity, respect

But philotimo is much more than “love of honor.”

It describes a way of living that combines:
Honor
Duty
Integrity
Self-respect
Generosity
Humility
Hospitality
Doing what is right even when nobody is watching
Helping others without expecting anything in return

A person with philotimo feels a moral responsibility to act nobly because it is the right thing to do, not because they will be rewarded.

Many Greeks might explain it like this:
“Philotimo is doing more than your duty because your conscience tells you to.”
Or:
“Philotimo is when another person’s need becomes your own responsibility.”

The Greek Orthodox Saint Paisios of Mount Athos often described philotimo as a form of selfless love, sacrifice, gratitude, and noble conduct toward God and other people.

There are similar ideas in other cultures such as honor, chivalry, duty, or the Japanese concept of giri but none captures the entire meaning of philotimo exactly.

That’s why many scholars consider it uniquely Greek in its full cultural and historical sense.

A popular Greek saying is:

«Το φιλότιμο δεν αγοράζεται ούτε διδάσκεται.»

“Philotimo can neither be bought nor taught.”

It is something revealed through a person’s character and actions.

If I had to put it in a single sentence in my understanding as a Greek is that

“Philotimo is the inner moral compass that inspires a person to act with honor, dignity, generosity, and selfless love, even when there is no personal benefits”

Philotimo is one of the most beautiful concepts in Greek culture, honor, humility, sacrifice, generosity, and love for others all woven into a single word.

And many people associate its modern spiritual expression with Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, who often spoke about living with a noble heart and helping others quietly, without seeking recognition.

May the words of Saint Paisios inspire us:

“The greatest joy is to help someone and not be known.”

Καλή δύναμη και ο Θεός μαζί σας.
(Strength to you, and may God be with you.)

☦️ 🇬🇷 Φιλότιμο — the heart of a Greek soul.

As traders, to make money in this market, we need to put our personal convictions and emotions aside and follow the "make money" playbook.

Despite an "overvalued" market, I bought and recommended $MRVL to clients on Mar 9, 2026.

The setup was:

1- Growth vs. value relative strength ✅
2- Strong ranking as a growth stock within my proprietary stock system ✅
3- Bullish breakout ✅
4- Strong volume ✅

The performance is currently at 253%, and the best part is using trailing stops to lock in significant profits.

This has been my best trade of the year so far.

every day before market open, the CBOE publishes exactly where market makers are forced to buy and sell

not a theory, not a pattern - a number that actually moves price

it's called dealer gamma exposure - GEX - and it creates real price magnets quants have traded against for years

here's why it works

when you buy a call option, a market maker sells it to you and has to hedge

that hedge shifts as price moves - they buy when it rises, sell when it falls

negative GEX zones are where they sell into every rally, cap every breakout, crush every momentum move

strikes with highest open interest aren't random - they're gravitational

markets don't break through those levels cleanly because a billion-dollar dealer is actively hedging against it

quants call them gamma walls

data is free, published every morning on the CBOE site - no API, no Bloomberg terminal

retail calls those same levels "resistance" and chalks it up to vibes

bookmark this before it lost

it's not vibes. it's math someone is paid $400k/year to understand while you do it by eyeball

the whole time you thought technical analysis was detecting patterns

you were just watching the shadow of dealer hedging and calling it insight

[Homer Pavlos @HomerPavlos]

Philip did not entrust Alexander's education to ordinary teachers. Because he believed that Alexander was destined for great deeds of the highest importance to the Greeks, he summoned the most renowned and wisest philosopher of the age, Aristotle, and gave him generous and worthy compensation. Before Aristotle, when he was young, Alexander had two more educators. At the age of 13 he had as "paidagogos" (educator) the great Leonidas, a relative of his mother from Epirus that he was very strict and taught him the laconic way of life with similarities from the Spartan Agoge. The other educator was Lysimachus.

Aristotle understood the importance of his mission. Since Pella at that time was a bustling commercial hub full of noise and commotion, he asked Philip for the school to be established in the countryside, inside a forest.

Thus Philip founded a six-year school: three years as "Vasilikoi Paides" ("Royal Pages") and three years as "Vasilikoi Akolouthoi ("Royal Companions").

It was there that Philip sent Alexander along with fifty other Greek boys from royal houses, who would be educated by Aristotle and the other teachers. This group also included Thessalians such as Lysimachus, and Nearchus who was Cretan. This shows Philip’s desire for a united Greece with a common purpose.

Among Alexander and these fifty youths were also his eight sworn friends from childhood. From this school would graduate the fifty Royal Companions, the future king of the Macedonians, and later of all Greece.

The School of Aristotle in Mieza included:

> Theoretical Philosophy and Metaphysics from Aristotle’s Peripatetic School
> Geometry taught by Menacles
> Acroamatic Lectures (esoteric teachings) by Aristotle
> Physics, Zoology, Botany, Geography, and practical Medicine taught by Aristotle
> Horsemanship, Pankration, and Swordsmanship taught by Cleitus
> Practical Philosophy and Poetry taught by Aristotle
> Military operations and Diplomacy taught by Philip himself
> Correct Diction and Rhetorical Expression (Φραστικές Ορθοέποιες) taught by Theophrastus

The most capable student in each subject became the supervisor (epimeletes), with the aim that he would later lead. The supervisor wore a distinctive green belt, which he would also wear later as an officer in battle, so that he would feel the battle was a natural continuation of his educational journey.

The Acroamatic teachings I mentioned were deep, secret knowledge, according to Plutarch, which were not taught to the others.When Alexander was in Asia and learned that Aristotle had published certain lectures on these subjects, he wrote him a bold letter about philosophy, which in part read verbatim:

"Alexander to Aristotle, greetings. You have not done right in publishing the acroamatic lectures. For in what way shall we differ from others if the teachings by which we were educated become common to all? I would rather excel others in the knowledge of the highest things than in power. Farewell."

Aristotle apologized, explaining that some lectures had been published and others had not, especially those he had taught to Alexander. We see here the importance of Aristotle’s teaching, the esoteric knowledge, and how powerful it was.

By nature, Alexander loved literature and reading. He kept the Iliad, which he had received from Aristotle (who had corrected and annotated it with comments on its symbols and the secrets Homer had hidden), under his pillow along with his dagger throughout the entire campaign. Because he loved reading and had no other books in Asia, he ordered Harpalus to send him some. Harpalus sent him the books of Philistus, several tragedies by Euripides, Sophocles, and Aeschylus, and the dithyrambs of Telestes and Philoxenus.

Alexander admired and loved Aristotle, as he himself said, no less than his father, for he owed his life to Philip, but to Aristotle, he owed a good morally life.

Aristotle used to say the following: "Parents who provide their children with the proper education deserve more than those parents who simply gave birth to them. For the children who did not receive the proper education, their parents merely gave them life. But for the children who did receive the proper education, their parents gave them a happy life."

😂Humour juif.

Un millionnaire antisémite va dîner dans un restaurant chic. Un homme juif avec une kippa vient s’asseoir à côté de lui. Dès que le millionnaire le voit, il appelle le serveur et dit :

« À mes frais : servez à tout le monde dans le restaurant le plat le plus cher de la carte, sauf à ce Juif. »

Le serveur fait ce qu’on lui demande et tout le monde reçoit un repas luxueux. Ensuite, tous les clients se lèvent pour remercier le millionnaire — y compris l’homme juif.

Cela irrite le millionnaire. Il demande quel est le dessert le plus cher et le fait servir à tout le monde, sauf au Juif. Une nouvelle fois, tout le monde le remercie chaleureusement, y compris le Juif.

Furieusement, il commande ensuite le vin le plus cher pour tous les clients, sauf pour le Juif. Là encore, tous les présents le remercient, et le Juif se joint à eux.

Finalement, le millionnaire explose de rage.

« Pourquoi continues-tu à me remercier ? » crie-t-il. « Tu es le seul qui n’a absolument rien reçu ! »

L’homme juif sourit et répond :

« Parce que je suis le propriétaire de ce restaurant. Merci beaucoup ! » 😄🍷💰

🚨 Lionel Messi on his relationship with his dad as he is fighting for his life:

🗣️ “My father has always been my biggest support in life.

Everything I am today started with him believing in me, pushing me, and standing by me in every moment of my journey.

Right now, he is going through a very difficult health situation and fighting for his life.

It is not easy for me or my family, but we are staying strong together for him.

Football has given me everything, but family will always come first.

When I step onto the pitch, I carry my emotions with me, but I also try to stay strong for my country and for him.

That is why moments like scoring or playing at this level can become emotional for me.

Because behind everything, I am still a son before anything else.

We are praying, hoping, and believing for his recovery.

And I want to thank everyone around the world for their support and prayers during this very difficult time.”

🔥 Rare clarity from Israeli analyst @ShayGal84

One of the very few analysts in Israel and the world with no illusions on Turkey, who refuses the comfortable myth

💥It is not only Erdogan the problem

“Ottomanism is the easy enemy. Kemalism is the harder lie.”

Erdogan didn’t betray Ataturk — he exposed him.

The Kemalists don’t represent some moderate, peace-loving alternative to Erdogan’s Islamists. They share the same expansionist state policy — just dressed in better suits, secular uniforms, and Western approval.

Ataturk is the myth of a modern, peace-loving founder. He’s the architect of a republic built on physical and political genocides of Christian minorities and of Kurds

He absorbed the property, nationalised denial, secularised amnesia and marketed silence as modernity.

That is the lie beneath Ataturk’s republic.

Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, Cypriots, Jews and Israelis did not face one event, one century or one policy. They faced a recurring grammar: coercion, erasure, denial, rebranding, then a lecture about peace. denial and imperial reflexes.

Who initiated the pogrom on Kurds ?

Kemalism was and is Erdoganism with “better” manners.

The lie is older than Erdogan — and it’s still being sold to history illiterates or leaders /media who wish to be persuaded, that if Erdogan leaves it will bring better times for the region !

Declaraciones de Jurgen Klopp a ZDF, sobre la reanudación del juego retrasada por el árbitro, durante el cooling break del México-Sudáfrica para que terminaran los comerciales de algunas cadenas de TV:
"Esto es el fútbol siendo tomado como rehén por ejecutivos en oficinas con aire acondicionado".

"Estos supuestos 'descansos por el calor' nos los vendieron como un escudo para el bienestar de los jugadores, una noble espada contra el calor. ¿Pero en realidad? No es más que una jaula dorada construida para patrocinadores. Cuando vi a los jugadores parados durante un descanso por calor mientras los tiempos de televisión dictaban el ritmo del partido, no pude evitar preguntarme: ¿a quién está sirviendo realmente la Copa del Mundo? ¿A los aficionados?, ¿A los jugadores?, ¿O a los anunciantes?".

"Un partido de la Copa del Mundo debería fluir como un río. En cambio, estamos construyendo presas en medio de él para que los comerciales puedan pasar. Eso es peligroso para el espíritu del juego. El fútbol alguna vez fue el evento principal, pero ahora corre el riesgo de convertirse en la música de fondo de un espectáculo publicitario. Nos dicen que estos descansos son por el bienestar de los jugadores, y por supuesto la salud de los jugadores importa. Pero cuando el juego empieza a doblar sus rodillas ante los tiempos de la televisión, la gente va a hacer preguntas. El balón se supone que es la estrella. No un descanso comercial".

"La Copa del Mundo es la catedral del fútbol. Sin embargo, a veces da la sensación de que la hemos convertido en un centro comercial donde la caja registradora recibe más respeto que el propio partido. Si este es el futuro, entonces el fútbol ya no está siendo interrumpido por los anuncios. El fútbol se está convirtiendo en la interrupción entre los anuncios".

SpaceX a clôturé son premier jour de cotation à 2 100 milliards de dollars, +19%. Tout le monde regarde le chiffre. Personne ne regarde ce qu'il price réellement.

Laissez-moi vous dire ce que le marché vient d'acheter, et pourquoi je pense que cette boîte vaudra 30 à 50 trillions d'ici 5 ans.

D'abord, le symbole. Cette IPO est un référendum. D'un côté, 20 ans de discours sur la décroissance, la sobriété, la redistribution, la fin de l'histoire gérée par des comités. De l'autre, un homme qui a dit "je vais rendre l'humanité multiplanétaire", que tout le monde a traité de clown, et qui vient de créer la plus grosse entreprise cotée de l'histoire en partant d'un entrepôt à El Segundo. Le marché a voté. Le wokisme avait des départements RH, SpaceX avait des fusées. Les fusées ont gagné.

Ensuite, la mécanique économique, parce que c'est là que tout le monde se trompe. Les analystes valorisent SpaceX comme une entreprise de lancement plus Starlink. C'est comme valoriser Internet en 1995 sur le marché du fax. Starship ne réduit pas le coût du kilo en orbite de 20%, il le divise par 100. Et chaque fois dans l'histoire qu'un coût d'infrastructure est divisé par 100, ce n'est pas le marché existant qui grossit, ce sont des industries entières qui naissent. Le coût du calcul divisé par 100 a donné Internet, le smartphone, l'IA. Le coût de l'orbite divisé par 100 va donner une économie spatiale complète.

Faisons la liste de ce qui devient rentable quand le kilo en orbite coûte le prix d'un billet d'avion. Les data centers orbitaux, avec énergie solaire continue et refroidissement gratuit, au moment exact où l'IA fait exploser la demande énergétique terrestre. La fabrication en microgravité de semi-conducteurs, de fibres optiques, d'organes imprimés impossibles à produire sous gravité. Le tourisme orbital de masse, puis les hôtels lunaires, qui passeront du fantasme au business plan exactement comme la croisière de luxe au 20ème siècle. Le transport point à point terrestre, Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. L'industrie minière des astéroïdes, dont un seul corps de classe M contient plus de métaux que tout ce que l'humanité a extrait depuis le néolithique. Et Mars en ligne de mire, pas comme destination touristique, mais comme le plus grand projet d'infrastructure jamais entrepris, avec tout ce que ça implique de demande en énergie, matériaux, robotique, IA.

SpaceX ne participera pas à ces marchés. SpaceX possède le péage d'entrée de tous ces marchés. C'est AWS, mais pour la civilisation. Apple vaut 3 500 milliards en vendant des rectangles de verre sur une seule planète. Le premier monopole d'accès à une frontière infinie à 30 ou 50 trillions dans 5 ans, ce n'est pas de l'exubérance, c'est une simple règle de trois sur l'expansion du marché adressable.

Et maintenant, la partie que je préfère. Ce futur n'a pas besoin de bureaucrates. Il n'y a pas de comité consultatif en orbite. Pas de commission Théodule sur Mars. Chaque dollar de cette nouvelle économie sera créé par des ingénieurs, des techniciens, des soudeurs, des pilotes, des entrepreneurs. Les diplômés en gestion de la norme vont devoir apprendre un métier utile, et franchement, c'est une excellente nouvelle pour eux aussi : construire est infiniment plus fun que contrôler.

Parce que c'est ça, le vrai signal d'aujourd'hui. Pendant 50 ans on nous a vendu un futur rétréci : moins d'énergie, moins d'enfants, moins d'ambition, gérer le déclin proprement. Et là, d'un coup, le plus gros actif financier du monde est un pari sur l'abondance, l'expansion et l'aventure. Le pessimisme vient de passer en position vendeuse sur lui-même.

Le futur sera méga fun. Il y aura des hôtels avec vue sur la Terre, des honeymoons en orbite, des gamins qui diront "papa, c'était comment avant les fusées réutilisables" comme on dit "c'était comment avant Internet". Et quelque part dans les années 2030, un humain marchera sur Mars en livestream devant 5 milliards de personnes, et ce jour-là plus personne ne se souviendra du nom d'un seul de ses détracteurs.

Achetez de l'optimisme. C'est encore sous-valorisé.

TURKISH CYPRIOTS JOIN THE CALL TO END TURKEY‘S ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF CYPRUS🚨

People like Eren Ali, a British born Turkish Cypriot and Oz Karahan, a Turkish Cypriot born in Turkey, are bravely condemning the Turkish occupation and demanding real justice for Cyprus. Voices like theirs prove that liberation is possible when we stand together.
The only solution is a free, united Cyprus under the Republic of Cyprus, the sole legitimate state on the island.

Let’s unite and demand:
▪️Immediate withdrawal of all Turkish troops from Cyprus
▪️All refugees return to their homes
▪️Illegal Turkish settlers returned to Turkey
▪️Full account of all missing persons
▪️Complete abolition of Turkey’s guarantor status

Cyprus belongs to Cypriots, not to occupation and division.
