Processed meats have officially been classified as Group 1 carcinogens by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, placing them in the same category as tobacco and asbestos in terms of the strength of scientific evidence linking them to cancer.
Foods such as bacon, ham, hot dogs, and sausages have been strongly associated with colorectal cancer. Researchers say the risk is largely connected to the way these meats are processed. Methods like curing, smoking, and salting can create harmful compounds including nitrosamines, which may damage DNA over time.
Preservatives such as nitrates and nitrites, along with high temperature cooking methods like grilling or frying, can also increase the formation of carcinogenic chemicals.
Health experts stress that this does not mean eating a slice of bacon carries the same overall danger as smoking cigarettes, but it does mean the evidence that processed meat can cause cancer is considered conclusive. Many specialists recommend reducing intake of processed meats and choosing alternatives such as fish, beans, or other plant based proteins more often.
For people who continue eating red or processed meat, cutting back on portion size and frequency may help lower long term cancer risk and support overall health and longevity.

@BorussiaSven@daxooo_@BVB hmm hatte im Gedächtnis, dass Tazemata ein paar Spiele raus war, oder ich verwechsel das mit jemand anderen. Reitz...ja verstehe was du meinst, aber ich hätte lieber noch ein Talent statt ihm dabei. Aber ja die Wahrscheinlichkeit zu gewinnen ist mit ihm natürlich etwas größer
@BorussiaSven@daxooo_@BVB Azhil weiss ich eh nicht warum der noch bei uns ist, aber gut Ingos Verträge.... . Tazemeta weiss ich nicht ob der wirklich fit ist, weil der auch bei der U19 einige mal gefehlt hatte in den letzten Spielen. Auch Reitz bräuchte es für mich nicht im Kader z.b.
@BorussiaSven@daxooo_@BVB naja auf ST haben wir ja nicht viel. Da Wüstenhagen gespielt hat gestern, wird der nur als Superjoker dabei sein. Bei Zarqelain und Adje stimme ich zu.
@daxooo_@BVB well it seems the team decided to give him rather play time in U23, instead I guess Zarqelain will play in PLIC. I get that he could have been a good asset on a good day, but I feel personally he needs to play better next season to earn himself a higher spot in the hacking order
@ak22_7@daxooo_@BVB sure fair enough. I just feel others have deserved their spot more due playing better during the season than him sadly. And maybe its also a sign from Broich, that they not see him long term anymore as asset by us. (or at least less than the guys in the squad)
@daxooo_@BVB well i see this kind of game, that you should deserve it a bit. Sadly he did not really over the last months. Also we have Mathis as starter, so Diallo would be as best on bench only anyways + started yesterday by U23. Its for me rather a sign that they not plan with him too much
Big life update.
I'm joining the new XRP Ledger Foundation leadership team as a Director, Community.
Very excited to accelerate the XRP ecosystem with very powerful team members on my side.
There is a lot in flight and the timing is perfect.
Back to the roots!
This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase:
Team,
Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future.
Why now
Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both.
First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth.
Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day.
All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core.
What this means
To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice?
- Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles.
- No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams.
- AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role.
In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs.
To those who are affected
I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done.
All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information.
To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements.
Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters.
How we move forward
To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together:
Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it.
The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission.

❗️🚨 Microsoft Edge keeps every saved password in process memory as cleartext from the moment it launches. Microsoft's responsed when reported: "by design."
All of them. Including credentials for sites you won't open this session.
Researcher @L1v1ng0ffTh3L4N tested every major Chromium browser. Edge is the only one that behaves this way.
Chrome decrypts credentials on demand, and App-Bound Encryption locks the keys to an authenticated Chrome process so other processes can't reuse them.
In Chrome, plaintext surfaces only during autofill or when a password is viewed, making memory scraping far less useful.
What makes this extra weird is that Edge still demands re-authentication before revealing those passwords in its Password Manager UI, while the same browser process already holds every one of them in plaintext.
In shared environments, this turns into a credential harvest. On a terminal server, an attacker with admin rights can read the memory of every logged-on user process. In the published PoC video, a compromised admin account lifts stored credentials from two other logged-on (and even disconnected) users with Edge running.
Microsoft's official response when notified: "by design."
The finding was disclosed April 29 at BigBiteOfTech by PaloAltoNtwks Norway, alongside a small educational tool that lets anyone verify the cleartext storage for themselves.
For almost 2.5 years, I worked relentlessly on my social media presence in scouting before ever landing a paid role at a professional football club.
Today, I’ve spent nearly 18 months working full-time inside that environment.
Experiencing both sides has been eye-opening — and it’s highlighted some clear gaps between how scouting is portrayed online and how it actually operates within clubs.
Here are three of the biggest differences:
1. Identification is a piece of the puzzle 🧩
Online scouting content often revolves almost entirely around player identification — spotting talent early and, months later, pointing back to it as proof of expertise.
Identification matters. It’s exciting, rewarding, and a key part of the job.
But in reality, it’s just one step in a much more complex process.
A strong identification alone doesn’t get a deal over the line — it’s everything that follows that determines whether a player is actually signed.
That reality can be frustrating. You’ll often see players you’ve flagged fall short somewhere in the decision-making chain and go on to succeed elsewhere. But that’s an unavoidable part of the process.
⸻
2. Aesthetic ≠ Insight 🎨
There’s a growing trend where data analysis on social media feels more like a design competition than a pursuit of insight.
Clean visuals and eye-catching graphics perform well online — but they don’t drive decisions inside clubs.
What matters is clarity. Relevance. Actionable conclusions.
That might take the form of a detailed 2,000-word report — or a sharp, three-sentence verdict with a clear recommendation.
It can be presented as a polished, multi-colored chart — but more often, it’s a simple red flag in the model, backed by a single, decisive line of justification.
Ultimately, the value lies in helping decision-makers decide.
⸻
3. The job is unpredictable ����️
When building an online presence, consistency is everything.
Weekly reports. Structured output. A clean rhythm.
Inside a football club, that structure rarely exists.
Some weeks are quiet. Others demand multiple decisions within hours.
You might have time to analyze several full matches — or you might have 12 hours before a deal disappears and need to deliver a clear judgment with limited information.
The reality of scouting is adapting to both extremes — and still being decisive.
———-
I still believe the gap between perception and the reality of scouting is wide — and it creates an environment of both exceptional demand and, at times, real frustration, disappointment, and resentment for those trying to break into the field.
I want to use this page to help close that gap — by being more transparent, more honest, and more reflective of how the job actually works.
@allusion1909@FoliBVB allerdings muss ich zugeben, dass "Echte Tiefe" noch einen der besten Jobs macht in Sachen Analysen. (natürlich nicht jede Folge) im Gegensatz zu den anderen BVB Podcasts.
