If you need a “chip in the ball” to tell you if there was contact on this header, you’re a joke.

I have watched this a dozen times and don’t see the rotation even slightly affected.

And if I need an electron microscope to zoom in and see the rotational change at the microscopic level….GTFOH!

I just want to know 2 things:

1. Why didn't the graph show the touch of Veiga and then the other players? There was hardly a gap of 500 milliseconds

2. How the hell did the referee and VAR decide that Veiga's touch was accidental and he didn't try to clear it and fail?

#USMNT midfielder Malik Tillman may have just scored one of the most difficult free kicks in U.S. World Cup history.

Somebody give this man an honorary doctorate in physics.

Let’s break down the sport’s science ⚽️🔬⚖️

Maybe the greatest American video ever filmed

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@daily_btc_lore There have been many debates since. But this video is still the one I recommend.

thank you @googlemaps

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 That's definitely true.

Bcash was a hard fork. They had a comunnity who forked off to do what they wanted. I think BIP110 is more likely to be still born as a failed softfork than a permanent fork. It could, but more likely still born. We'll see.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 Obviously if there is zero hash rate then there's no PoW system. Obviously. But your 51% "voting" thesis (or counting IPs or whatever) is not at all how it works.

We also didn't discriminate hard vs soft, so many different structures to resolve final outcomes.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @Scavacini777 @currentseas @grok Then how the heck do you not know that standard nodes are performing cryptographic checks independent of miners?!?!?!? ...I guess you are trolling me.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 *assuming no one adds any hash rate (I said I had to throw you that bone). Of course there would be hash for a million node network.

Btw, this has nothing to do with what I think of BIP110 or how it will play out. Just want to disclose that for anyone drawing any parallels.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @Scavacini777 @currentseas @grok The SPV client is not the same thing AT ALL as what we call a standard node. Once again, you are thoroughly confused on basic details.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @Scavacini777 @currentseas @grok "You just don't set the consensus rules. You follow them."

I guess you have no idea what happened during the Blocksize Wars. There's a whole book about it. The big blockers said the same thing you did. You should read it.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 My chain (throwing you a bone and assuming absolutely no one adds hash rate) isn't getting any longer. But you're now added blocks to a chain which I'm refusing to add. You and yours are running your own game different than the old one. That's a fork.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 It's a fork. (We're now in the hypothetical.) You've changed the rules to chess. I haven't. We now play at two seperate tournments. ...unless you have some method to force me to your tournament. But you don't.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @Scavacini777 @currentseas @grok Wrong. In the white paper there was no separation of standard nodes and mining nodes. Every node was performing PoW. Not so today. You really need to catch up. We've come a long way from Oct 31, 2008.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 How are you going to force me to accept your blocks if they don't meet my rules? Your move.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @currentseas @grok @Scavacini777 We don't accept your blocks. Duh.

[Bob Croft @Bob_Croft]

@Bit_Faced @Scavacini777 @currentseas @grok By hashing it.

OMG... either you are trolling me or you should be embarrased.
