[Indonesia] - While the protests seemed to begin with Ahok, a Christian politician allegedly insulting the Koran (actually he was criticizing his political opponents for using Koranic quotes to attack him, but they of course took the opportunity to say he was insulting Islam), but now, Indonesian political analysts say, the protests have grown to become something else altogether, and something much bigger. Unbeknownst to most of the angry protesters themselves, over a dozen separate groups (both within and from outside Indonesia) are secretly adding fuel to the protests to serve their own individual agendas, whether it be destabilizing the Indonesian government, or Jokowi's political enemies using this protest to target him specifically (Ahok is a close associate of Jokowi) to weaken his power base, or extremist groups (both domestic and foreign) trying to impose their own extremist agendas, etc. So Ahok himself is really just a pawn, a puppet, a tool, and it's not really about him anymore. Things are seldom what they seem to be, even if the majority fail to see through it.

Amusingly ironic. The producers know that an implausible sci-fi time-travel body-exchanging story will be more relatable and (for some) even more believable to the masses, than the actual reality of reincarnation. But the sci-fi story serves as a useful analogy for reincarnation nonetheless. All in all, still an outstandingly unique anime movie.

When Duterte was in secondary school, he used a gun to shoot a classmate in his leg for allegedly bullying Duterte's friend. When he was mayor, and a tourist smoked in a no-smoking section of a bar in front of him, Duterte pointed a gun at the tourist's head and forced the tourist to eat his cigarette. No wonder he got elected, with his strong man pai-kia image, ala Vladimir Putin, that voters feel the country needs. Maybe Donald Trump could actually win.

Denuvo’s game DRM is too hard to crack, so a hacker ingeniously bypassed it instead
http://www.geek.com/tech/denuvos-game-drm-is-too-hard-to-crack-so-a-hacker-bypassed-it-instead-1665779/What are the difficulties of cracking a Denuvo-protected game?
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-difficulties-of-cracking-a-Denuvo-protected-gamehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo
The China-based warez hacking group 3DM claimed to have defeated Denuvo Anti-Tamper on 1 December 2014. The group claimed that the technology involves a "64-bit encryption machine" that requires cryptographic keys unique to the specific hardware of each installed system.
Later, in early December, the same group released a crack for the video game Dragon Age: Inquisition, which uses Denuvo Anti-Tamper to protect Electronic Arts' Origin Online Access DRM. But this took almost a month, which is unusually long for PC games. Asked about the development, Denuvo acknowledged that "every protected game eventually gets cracked". Ars Technica noted that most legitimate sales for major games happened within 30 days of release, and so publishers may consider Denuvo a success if it meant a game took significantly longer to be cracked.
In January 2016, 3DM reportedly nearly gave up attempting to crack Just Cause 3, which is protected with Denuvo, due to the difficulties associated with the process. They also warned that due to the current trends in encryption technology, in two years' time, the cracking of video games may become impossible. Denuvo's Thomas Goebl believes that some console-only releases may get PC release in future due to this technology. It was announced that 3DM would stop all research on Denuvo Anti-Tamper, stop cracking all single-player games from February 2016 for one whole year, start relying on other crackers and see if the sales have increased in China in one year's time.

Clinton supporters who had gathered at a glittering reception in New York expecting to hear a victory speech from Clinton fell quiet and jabbed nervously at their phones. Major donors had tears in their eyes as they stared stupefied at the screens, and an audible gasp filled the room when North Carolina went into Trump's win column.
