I feel like you're confusing the people who make the bets with the people who make the odds, those are interconnected obviously and react to each other, but it's two separate parties.

It's real easy to make polls go whichever way you like if you try and it may be in someones best interest to make sure only the 'correct' polls are widely known. We're spoiled in that we've been able to expect the organizations involved to be trustworthy and not do that, but I think a lot of us feel that that's been less and less true.
For the betting markets, their success relies almost solely on them predicting odds correctly and consistently. Our respect here is for the people who dedicate their lives to making sure the gamblers lose. Could obviously still be manipulated, but in this case doing so is at least contrary to the purpose of the organization instead of in the previous case potentially actually supporting it...
Not going to lie though, is a weird shift, I get it.
That does kind of explain a lot.
I know we're all in our own occasionally overlapping echo chambers, but the betting odds and prediction markets still tend to favor Trump, some of the larger ones pretty heavily. It's very disconnected from the narrative I've been seeing about Kamala here and elsewhere, I hope that narrative is right, but still doesn't line up.
Definitely not wrong, when I read about it virtualizing the whole deal... I've worked in relatively adjacent fields before and I couldn't even give you a satisfactory high-level explanation of how it works.
Judging from some of the prolific ones out there, cracking DRM requires you to also be absolutely batshit insane.

Well, apparently not.
If you didn't laugh when they came up with the slogan "Together, there are more of us!", then I don't know what's wrong with you.
I love Scavenger's Reign, and don't remember any of the characters names or the basic story at all.
I feel like it's just a long world building art project.
Wow, Lemmy knows me, knocking it out with an absolute top tier pick at the very top of the hot comments.
Good taste, my friend.
The source is in the tweet, it's the Project 2025 mandate. His name isn't hidden on it or anything.
I'm not gonna dox myself, but my company is definitely not a smaller firm, whatever country you're in, good chance we at least have a presence. Our drive to eliminate Oracle dependence extends to just... not doing whatever that was at all anymore. We're not there yet and it's going to take even more years, but I've heard the same from quite a few others at similarly large companies.
You're right that Oracle is in a real good place technically in a lot of ways, but people are very very motivated to see them fail and that drive has even spread outside of the IT sphere.
I mean shit, I know we could search it, but how could you not link us to that. We need that.
