Denuvo is easily cracked for games people care about. It's not put in games to stop crackers, it's put there to allow the game to go through the first weeks (where 90% of the sales happen) without competition from pirated versions.

After this time some companies even remove the DRM because it already did it's job.

The whole game industry is based on hype in the hope people buy on day 1 or, even better, pre-oder the games. One reason most big games are released broken or in a very buggy state.
your link does not include nuclear, it only includes an elusive "advanced nuclear". This is not for China, which I have the feeling has a different take on "advanced". In the US, existing plants have much lower costs, around the same as cheap coal and gas.

PV capacity costs about 1 dollars per Watt and achieves a 20-25% capacity factor. In the article they say less than 0.5 dollars per watt of nuclear. If they can achieve that, it's obviously cheaper to go nuclear than PV. Nuclear has higher operating costs, true, but also a 90% capacity factor, meaning you need 5 times less capacity installed than PV. 1200 GW of nuclear for 440 billions is the equivalent of 5000GW of PV for 5000 billions. This is just to produce the same amount of energy, at any time during the day/year, before considering the cost of storage or intermittent power on the grid.

I truly hope China can pull this off at the advertised price. Because of the sheer size of the initiative they might be able to just do it using the economy of scale. France did it in 10 years in the 70s-80s, no reason China can't do it today.

We need all the energy sources, being PV+wind+battery purists won't be enough.

I found this article with a more global take https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/economic-aspec...

Apparently France managed to build it's nuclear plants at a cost of 1 dollar per Watt. Going to 0.5 dollars today might be a challenge for China, even with economies of scale. The article estimated 2.5 per Watt.

Even at 2.5 USD per Watt installed, that would still be about the same price as PV installed. But you gain stability in the grid for a slighter higher operating cost.
I already have a JSON query language - it’s JavaScript.

> Queries are 80% shorter than imperative code

From the examples they look the same length as the corresponding JS I would write, maybe slightly longer.

What are the advantages to using this language over JS?

JS has a fast JIT which would make filtering data fast. How does this query language compare in performance? Does it have indexes?

Lots of places in the northeast with flat roofs. Particularly dense city centers where snow falling off sloped roofs poses a danger to busy pedestrian sidewalks. As long as you keep your roof maintained it’ll last a long time. And “flat” roofs are always angled at like 1-2 degrees to ensure proper drainage.

Not quite. Cloudfront predates Global Accelerator and has all its own infrastructure/routing/etc to answer client queries, get them to a nearby AWS pop, and return local content or fetch content from your single origin.

GA is similar, but more like a global anycast routing layer/load balancer. You can have multiple backends, different regions etc, use a single public GA endpoint, and GA will route the request to your nearest backend.

You could use a GA endpoint as an origin for Cloudfront, I guess, to keep all traffic as near to the client as possible.
But when you get caught in curating the environment that leads to a "win", it would probably hit strongly the other way.

I disagree about the win/loss theory in general though. I think it is really a dissonance about what people expect and value in in or out groups.

Someone afraid to speak up in certain groups might be quite outgoing in another. So there isn't really an absolute level of success. There are also very successful people that are anxious. Expectations towards yourself play a large role though.

I have many Burmese friends, and stayed there a number of times. Note how I call it Burma, not Myanmar, which was the name chosen for it by the Junta. The Junta were also responsible for moving the capital from Yangon (the natural and historical capital) to Naypyidaw (back of beyond boondocks). They did this on the advice of a fortune teller. When I was there one of the daughters of a local general was being married. She was famous for liking diamonds, the local supply of which ran out as a result of people trying to curry favor with her father. Burma was a name chosen by the British, but from my experience the Burmese feel more (or at least as much) ownership of that word as Myanmar.

Now the power brokers in Burma are the Chinese. There has always been a strong connection between Burma and China, and when Burma opened up, they jumped right in. In many ways they were better prepared than the westerners. Most of them already spoke Burmese, and were far better acquainted with their history. However, the locals are no fans... a popular complaint is that fill the roads with their huge cars yet live in gated compounds and general flaunt it.

One you get to know them, the people are warm and open, but also (if I may generalize) just a bit crazy. In the community I moved in, I would say about five percent were substance abusers, and at least as many had spent some time in state prison. But given the opportunity, I would return in a heart beat.

I see many people here comparing US with EU in term of wages. But for the comparation to work taxes, healthcare, education, and subsidizing several public services like transport or heating should be taken into account.

Also, the comparation should take into consideration PPP.

$300 000 pre-taxes in US is not 3x $100 000 after-taxes in EU. Especially if you adjust for other factors.
> The only "hole" the U.S. is digging is allowing China to purchase an unlimited amount of dollars. You think China allows the U.S. to do that? It is capital inflows into the US that need to be reigned in, just as China does not allow unrestricted capital inflows into its capital markets.

What if the us pressured China and India to allow capital to flow to them instead ?

Does this make any sense ?:

> The separated lane is just too expensive while there are just a few bikers

I think we overall agree, but there are many things that can be done to reduce conflit points.

Firstly I agreed that the mixed lane with a shared car/bicycle alternate route should come first (as this covers both short/slow speed trips and high speed/high confidence trips), but secondly the shared lane has an absurdly small cost. Under 5% of the space and an even smaller fraction of the money spent on roads will give you a world leading bicycle network, and if you build it, it will be used -- cycling on good infrastructure is simply so much cheaper and more convenient than car ownership and cycle lanes have so much more capacity than roads that it becomes a no brainer.

I agree that bootstrapping it to get the political will needed for that pittance is extremely hard, which is why we need to think very carefully about encouraging long distance commuters who must average over 15km/h to make reasonable time and people taking the pram for a walk to mix. Ebikes are a big potential issue because they are both fast and favoured by new riders. It will only take one ebike with the speed limiter removed accidentally injuring a kid and hitting the news to set back bike infrastructure in an entire country by years.

Step 1 is mixed paths connecting local destinations (schools, shops, church, etc) and start reserving your space for the separated bikeway

Step 2 is a fully connected network where all the mixed paths have an alternate route with magic green paint or sharrows for high speed trips and to handle congestion.

Step 3 is build the separated paths.

You can't skip step 2 or avoid thinking about step 3 until it is too late.

Additionally throughout this process you need to fix all the cyclist and pedestrian hostile signals (waiting for a full 5 minhte cycle at a one way street full of stopped cars because the button wasn't pressed is absurd) and provide some alternative to stop signs (carefully designed roundabouts, yield signs, or cyclists-yield laws with public outreach work okay).

Yes, this is correct. For now, people are willing to participate in the collective delusion that these tokens are what they claim to represent: real ownership of an off-chain asset. I don't think that's going to last.

It's possible to imbue an NFT, itself, with real value. Like if it was a legally recognized title. Or if ownership of an NFT could be used to produce an authorization token for access to some physical or digital experience.
I don't think this signal becomes useless the moment an attacker knows about it. It's one thing to prevent your victim from speaking to anyone unattended, but it's hard to imagine there never being a moment for them to make a quick hand gesture to the outside world. At some point an attacker has to take their eyes off their victim even if for just a moment.

It's true that attackers can take precautions against this, but that also makes their attack harder to carry out.

I got the idea for Spellbook, because I was learning programming, but also having some projects that involved quite a bit of research on subjects like audio physics, statistics, data visualisation etc., and I wished I could keep my bookmarks in a generic hierarchy, but also attach some categories (bookmark folders) to categories for my different projects at the same time.

So, I also see the value in having subcategories in addition to freely formed networks or associations.
> I have no need for "total control" over the emulation.

A lot of people are saying this, and I guess I just have a mental block. Full-blown emulation was the only game in town for 20 years. Plus there was the 6 years I ran lots and lots of KVM's. I suppose I'm just used to it.
So, like serial numbers, but more fragile?

Not just the tankers—the VC-20s themselves are usually visible on ADSBExchange if they’re flying over areas that support Mode-S multilateration[1]. You see some interesting things this way, e.g. President Obama’s last flight on AF1 immediately following President Trump’s inauguration left Joint Base Andrews for Palm Springs[2], but made an unscheduled diversion to fly over the city of Chicago a few times at about 3PM Eastern—perhaps a nice gesture from the flight crew? I never saw that reported anywhere.

> So it's like spark for pandas?

I didn't get that at all.

Spark is a data-processing engine.

Hamilton seems to be a framework for expressing all of your feature extractions and transformations in such a way that they can be encapsulated and organized into functions and modules. These functions can then be composed into a transformation pipeline instructions. Hamilton can then inspect this composition of functions and understand all of the inter-dependencies, effectively constructing a DAG that can be used to visualize what exactly the pipeline is doing while also creating some feature/column lineage. This DAG can also be used to figure out what functionality can be pruned from your modules if it is never used. Unit tests written easily.

There is nothing within Hamilton that dictates which data-processing engine should be used to do the work. In fact they mention it in their blog that Spark could indeed be used. But I imagine anyone could come along and write an integration for Pandas (if it doesn't already exist), BigQuery, Snowflake, Materialize, etc...

This creates an abstraction between what you're trying to do, and what data processing engine is used to do it. Not to mention being able to create some fantastic visualizations (i assume) of what is actually going on in your transformation or feature-extraction pipeline.
The author focuses on physical presence in a country, but as she points out, immigrants flocked to the US because it's an economic powerhouse. This will not change, and for all intents and purposes the talent will still be in the US, since their work will be in the US. If anything, it will make it even stronger, since most of the interesting things in e.g. tech are done there, and there is now less of a barrier to get the talent. Big fish will eat the small fish, you can see this clearly in e.g. the EU, where "talent" from smaller poorer countries goes to richer countries massively, since there are effectively no borders or barriers.

So they might not be there physically, but this is not really a big concern if you're a US company. It might be different for the country as a whole though.
I’d say wealth effect from people seeing their retirement account ballooning in such a short period of time. The demand will last for awhile especially in places like EU where the stimulus was substantially higher than in the US for lower middle class.

By the way, if we DON’T see sustained inflation from this level of stimulus, that should raise eyebrows and we should really question the role of CBs and efficacy of monetary policies.
Sure, but you don't need a Blockchain for that. An ordinary database solves the problem more easily and less wastefully.

Webbrowsers are designed, as it's main function, to display text. Makes sense to me to use something that can render text in all sorts of different ways *as a text editor.*

I've tried to use Emacs several times, and come away thinking that it does a lot of things, but none of them particularly well. Elisp seems fine I suppose, but JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages and so it's sensible to use that as a basis for an ide whereby more people have the existing knowledge to hack away with it.

I think it's less taking a loan to buy golf clubs and more "feeling less financially stretched makes people more willing to spend money."

With today's rates, he has a comfortable savings rate. Since he's not scrimping, he decides this month he'll buy that putter he'd been eying.
