Yahoo! is no more. Say hello to Altaba. -- (link) - Ender Jan 10, 10:44 12
- Well sort of. Yahoo Japan and the spinoff company that owns Alibaba shares will become Altaba. Regular Yahoo will not change until Verizon decides to do something with it -- nm* - decline Jan 10, 11:01 2

Apparently, with the new World Cup format, FIFA is toying with the idea of eliminating draws in the group stage to avoid last-match shenanigans. -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 10, 10:12 11
- On the one hand, no one likes a draw. On the other hand, people seem very much opposed to penalty kicks to decide a game. - Mop Jan 10, 10:31 4

    - Actually that's wrong but it's something like that. -- nm - Loyola Jan 10, 10:29 2
      - And then there's the hilarity the would ensue if each match ends 1-0 and each team has a win, leaving the group in a three-way tie. -- nm - znufrii Jan 10, 10:32 1
        
        Hadn't thought of that. Madness. -- nm - Loyola Jan 10, 10:54
