Ignoring human rights is par for the course for an oligarch run organisation. Messing with the gambling’s integrity is the surprising part.

They used to draw the line at open cheating. I guess they just figured out there’s no point on keeping any kind of public appearance of propriety.

Fifa is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications

They are responsible for not having changed venues as soon as it was clear the US was not going to make the world cup a safe event for anyone, from fans, to players, to referees.

They are also responsible for not having dequalified the US when they abused their status as an host country to exclude referees or putting undue hardships on other national teams (especially Iran, but plenty of countries had trouble getting their teams in the US). They are opening the precedent that host countries can tip the scale how much they want without consequences.

Lovecraftian is an adjective for a narrative style, so it’s tied to the author itself.

Orwellian describes the actions of political regimes in just two of his books. When applied to cautionary narratives allegorising or extrapolating existing authoritanism it fulfils the same role as Lovecraftian. When it applies to real world governments using 1984 as an instruction manual, it’s much broader.

Market leader wants to freeze the market.

While I’m strongly opposed to the “move fast break things” mindset, this is not an altruistic or even benevolent move by Anthropic.

They could move the story forward with Atreus as the main character, that would still be familiar enough. Prequels are very hard to do right.

Terminator is a special case, because time travel limits the interesting time span for the story if you don’t keep erasing the previous movies plot.

It depends if the shareholder is really investing in a company they believe can reliably generate profit or playing a game of poker with people’s lives as tokens.

In an healthy company with a long term outlook, increased productivity is used to increase revenue, not to cash in by reducing short term expenses.

With the current state of the entertainment industry I’m surprised they still didn’t do a LOTR movie explaining Tom Bombadil.

There isn’t a single exec that understands why it’s important for big narratives to have mysteries.

You would need to be extremely racist to think the good guys won the Opium War or the wars of European conquest in the Americas or Africa, and even centuries of propaganda spin don’t change that. And there are cases like the Siege of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade that was rightfully vilified even at the time.

No, in this system 3 + 3 = 33 or 66 or 12 or 11, etc. Basically any digit is equivalent 1 in normal base 1.

EDIT: I blame lack of coffee for misreading Serinus@lemmy.world comment

In this case it depends on having base 1 with all digits being equivalent (i.e. 123 = 456 = 000).

Amid the French fry furore, Rimm has since clarified that he was merely suggesting restaurants offer smaller plates of fries.

Smaller, not literally 6 small fries.

Targeting number of fries instead of weight would also be unscientific, 6 needle thickness and 6 quarter edges fries are not equivalent.

It was an hyperbole that flew over the journalists’ heads: https://www.sciencealert.com/you-should-only-be-eating-six-fries-per-serving-advises-harvard-nutritionist

OK let me be precise, unless there’s a strong reason for it, I’m in bed with the lights out and eyes closed at a set time. In my case this applies to more than 95% of the days.

Or, in colloquial speech, I go to sleep at the same time every day.

The trick is training yourself to wake up and go to sleep at same time every day.

I used to struggle with alarm clocks, and now I rarely need them at all.

It’s also a lie. LLMs can’t replace a single worker, and most CEOs know that, they are using it as an excuse to cover up the consequences of mismanagement and/or increase short term profits at the expense of future growth.

Veteran dev not knowing he’s not forced to use the new shinny toy for everything explains so much about the state of the gaming industry.
