'Don't worry' - pro-Trump Taiwan seeks to reassure over Biden - Yahoo News UK

By Yimou Lee

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan's top China policy maker on Monday sought to reassure nervous lawmakers that Democrat Joe Biden will continue U.S. support for the Chinese-claimed island, which has benefited from strong backing by the outgoing administration of Donald Trump.

Tensions over democratic Taiwan have escalated dramatically since Republican Trump took office four years ago. China was infuriated first by Trump's unprecedented call with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen shortly after he won election, followed by increased U.S. arms sales and two visits to Taipei by top U.S. officials in recent months.

While that made Trump a popular figure with the public in Taiwan, China responded by increasing military drills near Taiwan, including flying fighter jets over the sensitive mid line of the Taiwan Strait, escalating fears of conflict.

In Taiwan's parliament on Monday, several legislators expressed concerns about a Taiwan policy shift under a Biden administration, with some describing Biden as "China-friendly", and others pointing to Biden's opposition to a bill to strengthen Taiwan's security in 1999.

Huang Shih-chieh, from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, said their main concern was whether U.S. support for Taiwan would change.

"Our biggest worry is that with a Biden presidency he may adjust his policy," Huang said.

But Chen Ming-tong, who heads Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council, repeatedly reassured lawmakers a fundamental change in U.S. support for Taiwan was unlikely.

"There's no need to worry about a change of ownership in the White House," he said. "Although there might be some changes in Biden's tactics towards China, there will be no change in its China strategy."

Chen noted it was former President Barack Obama, under whom Biden served as vice president, who pushed the "pivot" back to Asia to challenge a rising China, and that Biden was unlikely to challenge the current geopolitical structure of the U.S.-China standoff.

The United States and Taiwan share the same values, Chen said.

"Looking at (Biden's) comments and support for Taiwan in the past, we can trust him to continue to reinforce the Taiwan-U.S. relationship."

Chen said while Biden was "generally viewed as China-friendly" he had also made a lot of criticism about China.

"Some people only see one side of the story and overlook another."

Taiwan officials have long worried that Trump was just using the island as a pawn to put pressure on China.

So Biden being in the White House may not be a bad thing for Taiwan, said Lai Shyh-bao, a lawmaker for the main opposition party, the Kuomintang, which traditionally favours close ties with China.

"With a Biden administration I think tensions in the Taiwan Strait will be lowered, because he will not think of Taiwan as a big chess piece, like Trump always did," he said.

The Limits of the Viral Book Review - The Nation

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 06:47 PM PST

Have you read a book review recently? The ones that make the rounds, dropped in DMs and threaded down Twitter timelines? They all fixate on a certain quality. Critics—and the authors they cover—seem to be obsessed with self-awareness. Writing about oneself isn't new at all, but what's current (and quickly growing stale) is the overtly self-conscious way contemporary writers have chosen to go about it.

Katy Waldman at The New Yorker reads the phenomenon through the lens of contemporary politics, writing, "As the cracks in our systems become increasingly visible, the reflexivity trap casts self-awareness as a finish line, not a starting point." For her, reflecting on the self in our times means being forced to examine oneself, but instead of addressing one's privileged position within a system, for example, writers frequently cop to being complicit—and therefore complicated. Voilà, end of story. Lauren Oyler at Bookforum finds the modish, fact-checkable blandness of contemporary autofiction rooted in authors' efforts at being "the least godlike figure around." These writers, she argues, forgo editorializing in order to fulfill a desire to be perceived as a "good person" by readers who, "under the terms of popular, social-media-inflected criticism, [are] now judge and jury, examining works for their political content and assessing the moral goodness of the author in the process." Molly Fischer, writing in New York magazine and referring to Waldman's and Oyler's reviews, along with a recent essay by Ryu Spaeth in The New Republic, describes the worst aspects of self-aware writing as such:

The problem is the defensive postures that all the self-awareness seems to produce, among characters and the writers who create them: squirmy half-apologies, self-deprecating irony, piously articulated desires to do better, and, perhaps, an implication that self-awareness is "enough"—that simply acknowledging one's luck amid the world's cavalcade of injustice might count as doing something to make it better.

In the same essay, a review of Eula Biss's recent book Having and Being Had, Fischer recalls Amanda Hess's piercing observation from 2018 identifying "the obligatory paragraph in much online personal writing now—the one where the writer flogs herself for her privilege, ticks off all of her structural advantages, and basically argues against herself writing the piece." It's noteworthy that Hess concludes her tweet by describing this type of paragraph as "weird."

And it is weird—not necessarily that such disclaimers exist but how they've formally come about. Whether in fiction or nonfiction, self-awareness, as a literary tic, doesn't arise out of thin air. Publishing one's writing demands that one admit to wanting and needing readers; all this genuflecting occurs for some kind of audience. Authors become self-aware in response to something, so what is that thing? To understand this, it behooves us to look at the ways authors have become more annoyingly self-conscious, because not every type of revelation begets a piteous apology. As a recent wave of literary criticism seems to demonstrate, this self-awareness falls neatly along political lines: Even within their texts, authors find themselves in the position of navigating their privilege, some of which very well might have helped land them the book deal.

Waldman's thesis on self-awareness—smuggled into a review of the Irish novelist Naoise Dolan's Exciting Times and the influence of her heavily name-checked predecessor Sally Rooney—leads almost directly to the question: How should politics be depicted in art? For example: Which characters and what kind of characters ought to be rewarded within the universe of a novel? And along what value systems? For novelists like Rooney in particular, who outside her writing life professes to be a Marxist, interpreting their fiction has become a tricky balancing act. The project of critiquing fiction is always multifaceted. Shall we read a novel as an allegory? A playbook? A cautionary tale? Or is it intended to be a mirror?

The mode of reading, which is ideally directed by the novel's formal choices and decisions, dictates the angle of criticism, which in turn offers various ways for new or unfamiliar readers to encounter the text. Increasingly—and most obviously with critics' response to Rooney—the awareness of an author's politics has worked its way into the interpretative text. This is, at best, a helpful way into a book. If we happen to know and agree with the politics of an author, we might be excited to see how it plays out (if it plays out at all) in the world of the text she has created. But conversely, do writers' politics undermine their project if the text isn't a perfect reflection? Flip that question, and it becomes: Does writing, say, a sloppy book reflect negatively on a writer's politics?

In her review, Waldman delivers this devastating line: "Rooney, like her characters, seems content to perform awareness of inequality, even to exploit it as a device, but not to engage with it as a profound and messy reality." It's certainly true that in her books, dinner party conversations and excerpted e-mails aside, the politics of Rooney's characters are curiously bloodless, appearing as an aesthetic while the real conflicts of the books—the engines that propel the narrative—are frequently television-esque devices like misunderstandings (Normal People) or love triangles (Conversations With Friends). Yet we're not really privy to Rooney's political life or even her material one, except for what she reveals in interviews or nonfiction essays. Does the construction of her novels reflect on her personhood? Does knowledge of her politics imply we might have preferred the text constructed differently? Dancing along this line of inquiry—one that probes for evidence of an author's ideological preferences and inconsistencies—naturally presents the temptation to get in a dig at the author herself, which critics have always been fond of doing and audiences, especially, of reading.

Take Merve Emre sniffing at Durga Chew-Bose's "experiences of bourgeois living" in the latter's debut essay collection, in an article for Boston Review from 2017. Emre concludes that Chew-Bose's peripatetic, sometimes whimsical style of inquiry leaves her cold, asking, "What should we make of writing that serves primarily, and sometimes exclusively, to present the author as a more admirably complicated type of human subject than others?" An excellent question and one at the heart of many recent pieces of criticism on the problem of the reflexivity trap, yet it's unclear just what Chew-Bose's lifestyle, bourgeois or not, has to do with it. The review seems weaker for the mention.

Or there's Oyler's viral review of Jia Tolentino's Trick Mirror for the London Review of Books, which archly characterizes Tolentino as having "so many friends that she is simply drowning in wedding invitations." Not to mention the audacious line used in one of the first promotional tweets for the review: "I get the sense that [Tolentino] must feel overwhelming pity for ugly women, if she has ever met one." Never before has literary criticism had such an avid online audience, and as Oyler notes in Bookforum, even readers who don't read books for a living have become, well, judgy. It corresponds that this audience is particularly thirsty for negative reviews, perhaps because most positive reviews in mainstream publications are anodyne fodder for blurbs and marketing, perhaps because it's exciting to see a critic dismiss precisely that buzz. Either way, pans get clicks.

It's still fun to read a bad review, provided you're not the subject. Last year Parul Sehgal handily skewered Kristen Roupenian's You Know You Want This, a lackluster short story collection boosted by the success of "Cat Person," writing, "This is a dull, needy book." That line could have been said to go viral, too. And of course, there are reviews so famously vicious that the story of their publication gets told and retold all the time, like Renata Adler's evisceration of Pauline Kael, then The New Yorker's movie critic (and Adler's coworker), in The New York Review of Books in 1980.

What Adler and Sehgal's negative reviews have in common is that they leave speculating about the author as a person, for the most part, out of it. Though her critique is scathing, Sehgal refrains from taking a jab at Roupenian herself; Adler poses horrified questions about Kael's gross-out, punitive worldview vis-à-vis her film criticism, but the questions are founded in Kael's writing, which Adler extensively quotes. What this species of negative review shares is a generative aspect, posing questions about the direction the work takes and the ways it has succeeded or failed on its own merits; in the best criticism, this applies not only to the texts in question but also to the social and political functions of art more broadly.

In contrast, recent criticism prefers to elide the distance between author and subject. Because we're so focused in particular on the cracks in our systems, we look to art to provide some way of existing amid these cracks. Any time is a good time to discuss power and privilege, but now feels especially pressing; we have already identified that so many structures have failed and are in the uncomfortable position of trying to decide whether to reform or abolish them. Yet it's unclear just how we want this political awareness—and its real-world responsibility—represented in our literary culture. It seems apparent that we don't want morals, hand-wringing, or socialist realism. Have we become especially critical because we are hungry for examples of how to live and find these texts wanting? The tack many critics have taken is to look for inconsistency.

Yet there's no one personal perspective that could reconcile all the systems in which we find ourselves entangled. It brings to mind the comic by Matt Bors in which a laboring peasant muses, "We should improve society somewhat." A modern-day reply guy pops out of a well and responds, "Yet you participate in society. Curious!" Well… we do live in a society. Are we implicated in it? Sure. But I'd rather see how people earnestly navigate that messiness instead of watching them dart around.

This new, arch mode of rhetorical criticism is co-constitutive with a growing body of writing that can be characterized primarily by its defensiveness. I imagine the logic goes something like this: "I don't want to be critiqued the way other people are being critiqued, whether in reviews or more generally on social media, so I'll write something that's beyond critique by saying it's a device or an exercise." In some cases, it arises as humor, as in Andrea Long Chu's Females, which sets itself up as a bit and throughout which it's unclear just how much she means what she says. In others, it feels like a kind of neurotic overwriting—the laughing specter of the author, preventing the reader from getting an earnest grip on the text. Encountering such work is like reading a book written at arm's length; the criticism of this writing can feel equally dispiriting, naming all the problems that the work seeks to negate through sidestepping. One thing seems clear: Something is missing in the work of both critics and authors. Where, in a time that seems to call so desperately for them to be visible, are the stakes?

As a whole, it's a good thing that people are concerned with ideology and its expression in creative culture. It's good to look at how our cultural products emerge from interconnected systems; it's good to observe how our politics have a life within the things we make. It's good to know when culture acts as a way to prop up systems of oppression, like when a novel's premise is overtly racist or a memoir exists to rehabilitate the image of a politician. Generative negative criticism highlights these discrepancies and, in doing so, reminds readers of the political life of a work outside its style or form. What I'm curious about in criticism lately is a concern not of genre—fiction and nonfiction are but two heads of the same animal—but of the overlap between the life of a creative work and the life of its author. It seems that mingling personal politics with the interpretation of art leads to a misreading of what we ask of writing.

There doesn't need to be a moral justification for writing, just as there need be no justification for any kind of art. But what do we learn from writing that refuses to reveal its stakes? What is the future of cultural production that is crouched in defense from the second it enters the world? Watching a writer engage in evasive maneuvers to avoid criticism is less interesting than watching her meaningfully grapple with an idea, and what's more, as readers, we have a lot to gain from watching someone think through it all.

I have never craved knowing how something feels—materially, I mean, like within a life, within a body, within a person—more than I do now. I don't care if it's "wrong" or if the author's politics aren't perfectly aligned with mine. I'd rather know what it's like for them. And so the charges that certain critics levy at these self-aware writers aren't wrong in that aspect: A blinkered reflexivity can't be the pat conclusion of a moral arc. But rather than hector writers for being squirmy or self-excusing, what if criticism encouraged more self-reflection, not just self-awareness, and we all gave up trying to look to literature for absolution?

One lesson we have begun to learn amid this ongoing dialogue about power and privilege is that we are all, at some point, both being exploited and exploiting others. In the midst of this, I can't help but think of the many writers, especially female writers of color, who have written or spoken of their hesitancy to write publicly at all. Did their voice matter? It seems that the people who find themselves asking the question are rarely the people who need to interrogate their privilege.

In this moment we crave understanding. Right ways of writing that might transmute into right ways of being. But I suspect we're looking in the wrong places. Trying to reconcile material actions with the world of a novel or even a memoir is not going to get you very far. What if we stopped trying to force literature—or authors—to teach us?

What can art show us? It can make us feel less alone. It can describe a feeling. It can lift up stories we haven't heard before, told from the point of view of people we haven't heard from before. It can be revenge or merely vengeful. It can entertain, stupefy, propagandize, and perhaps even illuminate with startling clarity. But for any of this to happen, art needs to have a place for the reader to witness the stakes of what's happening. That space seems to be rapidly diminishing.

Here are my stakes. If I really wanted to do the most good in my life, I'd go back to the anti-violence agency that provides services to survivors of abuse. But I quit that job to write. I've looked back longingly, but I haven't yet returned. So there is a question here of what art can do. What is its purpose, and what can it teach us? I write to answer that question, too.

  食環署公布,明年農曆年宵市場攤位將於下周二開始公開競投。年宵市場由明年二月六日至二月十二日,一連七天在十五個地點舉行,共設有一千零二十一個濕貨攤位。值得留意的是,今年年宵受反修例運動影響,年宵市場不設乾貨攤位,只有濕貨攤位和快餐攤位,受新冠肺炎疫情影響,食環署決定明年年宵市場一律不設乾貨及快餐攤位。
  食環署發言人指,因應新冠肺炎情況,以及為紓緩以往年宵市場人多擠逼的情況,政府認為有必要調整年宵市場的規模。明年農曆年宵市場只提供面積較大的濕貨攤位,集中銷售年花,以配合銷售年花的運作需要。此外,由於脫下口罩進食會增加病毒傳播的風險,故明年農曆年宵市場不設快餐攤位。食環署同時會按需要擴闊公共通道,以紓緩擠逼情況和減少密集的近距離接觸。
  發言人續指,考慮新冠肺炎的最新發展和衞生防護中心的意見,會在年宵市場實施一系列防疫措施,包括要求入場人士進場前量度體溫和時刻佩戴口罩、檔主須在其攤位提供消毒搓手液供顧客使用,並須提供其工作人員聯絡清單,以備出現確診個案時作醫學追蹤等。
  面對疫情帶來的經濟下行壓力,為支援中小企業,明年年宵市場攤位競投底價凍結於去年水平,即去年競投底價的一半,攤位底價由三百二十元至五千四百四十元。港島、離島及九龍區有六個年宵市場,設於銅鑼灣維多利亞公園、東涌達東路花園、深水埗花墟公園、觀塘區觀塘遊樂場、黃大仙摩士公園及深水埗長沙灣遊樂場,共有三百九十五個攤位。

배우 오달수가 성추행 의혹으로 활동을 중단한 지 3년여 만에 공식 석상에 선다.  
 
오달수는 11일 서울 용산구 CGV용산아이파크몰에서 진행되는 영화 '이웃사촌'(이환경 감독) 언론시사회에 참석한다.  
 
오달수가 공식 석상에 서는 건 지난 2018년 2월 '미투' 가해자로 지목돼 활동을 중단한 이후 2년 9개월 만이다.  
 
당시 익명의 피해자는 1990년대 오달수로부터 상습적인 성추행을 당했다고 폭로했다.  
 
성추행 의혹을 전면 부인하던 오달수는 이후 연극배우 A씨의 추가 폭로가 나오자 가해 사실을 인정했다.  
 
오달수의 성추행 의혹으로 그가 주연으로 출연한 영화 '컨트롤'(한장혁 감독) , '니 부모 얼굴이 보고 싶다'(김지훈 감독)의 개봉은 무기한 연기됐다. '이웃사촌'도 그중 하나였다.  
 
오달수는 이후 고향 부산에서 칩거하다 지난해 경찰청에서 자신의 성추행 혐의에 대해 혐의없음으로 내사 종결 처리하자 복귀를 결정했다.  
 
오달수는 지난해 8월 소속사 씨제스엔터테인먼트를 통해 "시시비비가 가려지지 않은 채 일방적인 질타를 받았다"며 "이 모든 것도 제 부덕의 소치에서 비롯된 것이라 생각한다"는 입장과 함께 복귀 의사를 드러냈다.
 
오달수는 복귀작으로 독립영화 '요시찰'(김성한 감독)을 택했다. 소속사 측은 "고심 끝에 독립영화에 출연하기로 했다"며 "배우가 조심스럽게 본연의 연기 활동을 이어나가려고 하는 만큼 부디 따뜻한 시선으로 지켜봐 달라"고 했다.
 
'미투' 논란 전 오달수는 영화계 '천만 요정'으로 불리며 감초 역할을 해왔다. 역대 천만명을 동원한 한국 영화 가운데 오달수가 출연한 작품은 모두 8편이다.

Pompeo Says There Will Be A Smooth Transition to Second Trump Administration - UrduPoint News

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 06:09 PM PST

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 11th November, 2020) US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo during a press briefing on Tuesday said there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.

All major media outlets projected Joe Biden as the winner of the US presidential election over the weekend. Biden, who leads by almost 5 million votes overall (50.8% to 47.5%), is projected to have won 290 of the 538 electoral votes apportioned across 50 states and the US capital. Trump would need to reverse the results in at least three states, where he is trailing by nearly 100,000 votes combined.

However, President Donald Trump has refused to concede and is filing legal challenges to reverse the results in at least 3 US states.

"There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration," Pompeo said.

Pompeo added that he is confident the US government will continue to perform its national security function through the transition.

Pompeo scolded a reporter for asking if the United States loses its credibility to encourage free and fair elections abroad when Trump refuses to concede.

"That's ridiculous. You know it's ridiculous and you asked it because it's ridiculous," Pompeo said.

Trump has claimed that he won another four-year term and the presidential election was stolen from him via massive fraud and is seeking redress in court to rectify the situation.

Hospital Director responds to viral video showing poor conditions - Loop News St. Lucia

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:49 PM PST

Nancy Francis, Executive Director of the Owen King EU Hospital and the Respiratory Hospital has responded to concerns regarding a recent viral video depicting substandard conditions at the Respiratory Hospital.

"The Department of Health and Wellness notes the concerns of the general public as it relates to recent video footage highlighting the conditions of a temporary lodging area for a patient at the Respiratory Hospital (Victoria Hospital).

We appreciate the heightened awareness by the public of the seriousness of the COVID-19 pandemic and how the Department of Health and Wellness is responding to this constantly evolving health concern.

It is very unfortunate that some patients had an initial negative experience at the hospital. On behalf of the management and staff of the hospital, I take this opportunity to apologize and to assure the public that we aim to provide all patients with the highest level of care in a safe, clean and comfortable environment.

As discussed in previous press statements, we are working assiduously to address the infrastructural upgrades at the respiratory hospital which include: complete renovation of approximately 50 beds and in some instances, the installation of individual bathroom facilities to meet WHO standards for COVID-19 patients. Other works include painting, installation of ventilation system and an upgrade of the sewer and wastewater systems.

Unfortunately, while we were busy ensuring that the infrastructural works were complete, there was an increase of COVID-19 patients in-country which severely disrupted the project, resulting in incomplete works in some areas. We had to quickly admit patients at the hospital while simultaneously continuing with the said infrastructural works in a safe and conducive manner for all concerned. This was further exacerbated by the heavy rainfall over the last two two weeks.

The heavy rains resulted in leaks, water seepage and other wet conditions at the Respiratory Hospital. Our maintenance and technical teams have done their best to manage the leaks and water seepage. However, dry weather is needed for this to be adequately addressed.

Some of the challenges we encountered during the early stages of preparing for the COVID-19 pandemic were:

• Dietary Services: Our meals were transferred from our main kitchen at OKEU-H to the respiratory hospital. As a result, we received complaints from patients indicating that meals were late and cold. I am happy to inform that we have reopened the kitchen at the respiratory hospital. We have a talented culinary and dietary services team who ensures that all meals meet the therapeutic nutritional standards for each patient.

• Linen Services: Linen was also a major challenge. This was as a result of servicing two hospitals and supply chain logistics due to closure of borders. We have since received a shipment of linen and have adjusted our linen management services to eliminate the shortage of linen.

• Telecommunication: The construction and renovation works compromised our network and telecommunication infrastructure. This severely affected our fixed-line service. We are working with the telecommunication service provider to rectify the problem. To date, we have restored the telecommunication service in some areas and have an information desk manned with trained personnel to provide information to the general public. This service is available from 7 am to 6 pm and will soon be extended to 9 pm. WIFI service has also been upgraded and is available free of charge.

• Drop Off Service: This is a new service offered by the hospital to facilitate the submission of supplies to patients by their loved ones. We encourage the public to adhere to the recommended drop off times to ensure the timely distribution of supplies to patients. The drops off times are 7 am, 12 noon, and 5 pm daily.

Our hard-working staff are dedicated and, on many occasions, go beyond the call of duty to ensure that all our patients receive the best quality care. I take this opportunity to thank the team and to encourage them to continue to give their best while keeping themselves and their families safe.

Finally, we welcome the concerns and feedback from the general public. However, I urge everyone to channel the much-appreciated concerns and recommendations to us by calling the respiratory hospital information desk at 458-6526 or email respiratoryh@govt.lc.

We are in this together. We need the nation to work with us as we lead out in managing this pandemic."

As Hospitalizations Soar, El Paso Brings In New Mobile Morgues - The New York Times

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:47 PM PST

EL PASO — Coronavirus patients filled beds on one floor. Then two. Then the University Medical Center, a teaching hospital in El Paso, set up tents to care for patients in a parking lot. A downtown convention center became a field hospital. To free up even more space, the state began airlifting dozens of intensive care patients to other cities.

Local leaders clashed over what to do to quell the spiraling coronavirus crisis. The top county official ordered a lockdown and curfew. But the mayor disagreed, and the police said they would not enforce it. Then the state attorney general weighed in — a lockdown was unnecessary and illegal, he said.

And the patients kept coming.

"We discharge one patient, and there are two that come in," said Wanda Helgesen, executive director of the local council on emergency and disaster preparedness.

El Paso, a border city of 680,000, now has more people hospitalized with Covid-19 than most states — 1,076 as of Tuesday — and is more than doubling its supply of mobile morgues, to 10 from four.

The strain on the city, as it grapples with the pandemic's deadly third wave, is mirrored across the country. The number of Covid-19 hospitalizations in the United States hit a record high of 61,964 on Tuesday, surpassing the horrific early days of the spring in New York and the summer in the South and West.

Hospitalizations have more than doubled since September, according to the Covid Tracking Project, passing the previous peak of 59,940 patients hospitalized in mid-April. But while the earlier spikes subsided, public health experts fear that the pace of new hospitalizations will continue to rise along with new infections, which are averaging 111,000 a day nationwide and show no signs of abating.

States that had appeared to control the spread, like New Jersey and New York, are seeing a resurgence. At the same time, rural hospitals in North Dakota and Idaho are desperate for doctors, nurses and technicians to deal with fast-growing patient populations.

And the risk factors that public health officials have long warned could spread the virus and strain hospitals in the fall and winter — more indoor activities, the onset of the flu season and gatherings over the winter holidays — have just begun.

"Things are not only bad, there's no end in sight," said Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health. "If we stop all transmission today, which we can't and won't, we are looking at probably a month of overcapacity in lots of communities in America."

Texas recently surpassed one million confirmed cases of the virus, with 19,000 dead. Of the 6,100 patients hospitalized across the state, one out of every six are in El Paso. Dr. Mario Rascon, the chief medical examiner for El Paso County, said Tuesday that his office had 154 bodies. "It's exhausting," he said.

The city has brought in more than 1,400 health care workers from around the state, and about 60 more arrived over the weekend in three teams sent by the Defense Department. But new patients have strained even those additional resources. Half of all patient beds in the city are now taken up by those with Covid-19.

"Things are not good," Mayor Dee Margo said. But he said he also worried about the impact of new shutdowns on families struggling to survive. "I'm trying to walk that tightrope."

The situation reflects the broader difficulty of trying to battle a national crisis in the absence of a national strategy. In El Paso, an urban island in remote West Texas between borders with Mexico and New Mexico, that absence has been acutely felt.

A pandemic response philosophy focused on local control and personal responsibility, starting with the Trump administration and reinforced by Texas' Republican governor, Greg Abbott, has at times left local leaders at odds over how to deal with the serial outbreaks.

After shutting down in the spring, Mr. Abbott was quick to begin reopening the Texas economy. By the summer, as the virus surged once again, he paused the reopening, then clashed with local leaders in Houston and other cities who wanted to curtail activities but were prevented from doing so by his orders. He told Texans to wear face masks. In October, he eased more business restrictions.

By then, in El Paso, hospitals were already feeling strained.

The top county official, Ricardo A. Samaniego, issued a stay-at-home order and strict new limits on businesses on Oct. 29. But Mayor Margo did not believe that Mr. Samaniego had the authority to do so, and initially opposed it. While local county constables tried to enforce the lockdown, the much larger El Paso Police Department said it would not.

"Huge, huge confusion," said Laura Rayborn, who owns a spa and other local businesses. "The mayor went on the radio and on TV and said, 'Stay open.'" Ms. Rayborn decided to do so.

Restaurants kept serving, despite the order to stop all but takeout and delivery. "We decided to do what we had to," said Aaron Means, who owns a restaurant near the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso.

Some went to court to fight the lockdown and were joined by the conservative state attorney general, Ken Paxton, who described the county's action as "oppression" and vowed to end it. After a week of back-and-forth among three levels of Texas government, a state court on Friday ruled in favor of the new restrictions on businesses. Mr. Paxton is appealing.

By that point, frustration and confusion had spread widely, dampening any immediate benefits from the business closures and all but ensuring that a longer shutdown would be necessary.

"One thing almost worse than being closed down is being confused about whether you are closed down," said David Jerome, the president of the El Paso Chamber of Commerce. "I'm a big fan of 50 experiments in democracy but not when it comes to a pandemic."

The county's two-week lockdown order, set to expire on Wednesday, has yet to show any appreciable effect on hospitalizations, officials said. "We do not seem to have met our peak," Ms. Helgesen said.

As of Tuesday, the city was averaging 1,800 new coronavirus cases a day, nearly double the number in more populous Dallas County, the state's next hardest hit.

Mr. Samaniego, the county executive, said he would like to extend the shutdown order, possibly through Thanksgiving. He worried that too few people had been following it, and that the holiday would bring new risks.

"We really never deployed a true stay-at-home," Mr. Samaniego said. "We never got to see the full impact."

Credit...Joel Angel Juarez for The New York Times

The governor's office said the focus for Mr. Samaniego and other local officials should be on enforcement of existing regulations, including restaurant capacity limits and mask requirements, not closures. "That strategy was effective in slowing the spread over the summer and containing Covid-19, while allowing businesses to safely operate," said Renae Eze, a spokeswoman for the governor.

Like the country as a whole, El Paso has now entered into an uncertain period. Officials are hopeful that enough people are now following the lockdown order to slow the spread of infections. The police have begun ticketing businesses that do not comply.

On Monday, city officers riding thick-tired Segue vehicles and sheriffs in patrols cars could be seen cruising a mostly empty shopping district and visiting businesses near the border with the Mexican city of Ciudad Juárez.

Some officials and residents blamed trips to Juárez for the spread of infections in El Paso, even as cross-border travel has been limited almost entirely to American citizens. The two cities have long formed one hub of commerce in the mountainous desert, and Americans who live in Mexico have often traveled to El Paso to use its better-resourced hospitals.

That has continued during the pandemic, officials said, as Juárez has seen its hospital infrastructure buckle under the strain of its own serious outbreak. The scope of the pandemic in Juárez is not known because of inadequate testing, but even the mayor has been hospitalized with the virus.

Credit...Joel Angel Juarez for The New York Times

The majority of infections in El Paso have come, health officials said, from local community transmission, especially within multigenerational families who often live together or come together frequently to shop or visit.

"We have seen multiple members of families coming in, usually on different days," said Dr. Edward Michelson, chief of emergency medicine at the University Medical Center and a professor at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.

Hector Balderrama, 55, a medical supply salesman, watched as his immediate family contracted the virus in mid-October: first his adult son. Then his wife. Then his eldest daughter.

"It just shut us down completely," he said. His wife was hospitalized and his son, who is diabetic, spent days in an intensive care unit. They eventually recovered. Mr. Balderrama never caught it. "Thank God we're here and getting better, but we're not 100 percent."

Vast swaths of the city are eerily empty, with indoor shopping malls surrounded by desolate parking lots. The afternoon wind whips through deserted downtown streets, tossing plastic bags like tumbleweeds in a spaghetti western with few actors.

Adriana Salas, 48, kept her small clothing store open despite the small number of customers and new restrictions. "I'm very late with the rent," she said. "I came to open because I needed money."

Credit...Joel Angel Juarez for The New York Times

What activity continued in the city could be found at big-box stores along Interstate 10, in snaking lines of cars at drive-through restaurants or by people trying to find some space to be outside at a mostly quiet outdoor mall.

"We were all sick," Xavier Gonzales, 45, said of his wife and his 6-year-old son, who at that moment was running with the family dog on a patch of artificial turf.

Mr. Gonzales, a singer who has been mostly without work since March, got it the worst — "I couldn't get up anymore" — and was told by emergency room doctors that he had viral pneumonia. But because he could breathe on his own, he was sent home to recover to make room for other, more seriously ill patients.

He did not look to Mexico, as some Texans have, for the source of El Paso's pandemic problems. "I think that's an excuse for people who are looking to blame someone; it's not us, it's them," he said. "But it is us. It's us not following the rules."

ツイッター新機能、フリートって?「○○なう」がしにくい現状に一手 - withnews

ツイッター新機能、フリートって?「○○なう」がしにくい現状に一手 - withnews

Twitterが11日から、24時間で投稿が消える新機能「フリート(Fleets)」を導入しました。日本のアカウントに順次、実装されていきます。似た機能は、InstagramのStoriesが有名ですが、Twitterが導入したのはなぜか。担当者を取材すると、「『意味のあること、役に立つことをつぶやなくては』という人が増えてきた」というTwitter自体の使い方の変化が背景にあることが分かりました。

つかの間、はかないを意味するfleetingが由来のフリートは、スマートフォン、PCどちらにも対応。スマホアプリの場合、タイムラインの最上部にインスタのストーリーと同様、+マークの付いた自身のアイコンが現れ、押すとフリートの機能が立ち上がります。

フリートでは動画や写真、テキストのほかに、ツイートも共有することができ、投稿は24時間後に消えます。他のユーザーは、フリートに絵文字やメッセージを送ることはできますが(DMを開放している場合)、リツイートのような拡散をさせる機能はありません。

新機能のフォーマットについては、「様々なデザインをテストして、利用者にとって一番使いやすい形を選んだ」と広報担当者。ブラジル、イタリア、インド、韓国の4カ国でテストし、正式に実装されるのは日本が初めてとなります。

「今は『渋谷なう』というような日常のツイートが、しにくくなっている声を聞きます」

こう解説するのは、Twitter Japanでユーザーの動向を調べている山内清稔さんです。アカウントが、趣味や特定の分野に関することを発信している場合、「日常をつぶやいて、フォロワーのタイムラインを乱したくない。みんなが読みたがっていることを発信しなければ、という意識のユーザーが多い」と山内さん。その結果、自分の生活や、日常のふとしたことがツイートしにくくなっていると分析します。

こうした課題に対して「新しい自己表現の場所」として開発されたフリート。実装にあたってのテストで、利用傾向が日本と似ている韓国のユーザーからは「ツイートは趣味や興味のあるものについて、日常に関することはフリートで、と使い分けできる」といった感想があがったそうです。

24時間で消える投稿機能は、他のSNSが先行しています。広報担当者は「『このタイミングでようやくか』と思われるかもしれませんが、Twitterにとっては、より気軽に、自分の思いを伝える意味のある機能だと考えています」。フリートについては今後、ユーザーの声を聞きながら、進化させていきたいとしています。

배우 오달수가 2년9개월 만에 처음으로 공식석상에 나선다.

오달수는 11일 오후 2시부터 서울 용산구 CGV용산아이파크몰에서 진행되는 영화 '이웃사촌'(감독 이환경)의 언론배급시사회 및 기자간담회에서 참석한다.

오달수의 공식석상 참석은 지난 2018년 2월 개봉한 영화 '조선명탐정: 흡혈괴마의 비밀' 관련 행사 이후, 약 2월9개월 만에 이번이 처음이다. 오달수는 2018년 2월 그는 동료 여배우를 성추행했다는 '미투' 의혹이 불거져 활동을 중단했다. 이 사건은 지난해 내사 종결로 무혐의 처분됐다.

'미투' 의혹 이후 오달수는 출연이 예정됐던 tvN 드라마 '나의 아저씨'에서 하차했으며 이미 촬영을 마친 영화 '신과함께2'에서도 편집됐다. 또한 당시 촬영을 마치고 개봉 준비 중이었던 '이웃사촌'의 개봉도 무기한 연기됐다.
주요기사
2년9개월 만에 대중 앞에 서게 된 오달수가 과연 어떤 이야기를 할지 대중의 이목이 쏠린다. 또한 이날 행사 자리는 그의 본격 복귀를 알리는 자리로도 해석될 수 있어 더욱 주목받고 있다. 한편 '이웃사촌'은 좌천 위기의 도청팀이 자택 격리된 정치인 가족의 옆집으로 위장 이사를 오게 된 후 벌어지는 이야기를 그린 영화로 1000만 영화 '7번방의 선물' 이환경 감독이 연출했다. 11월 개봉 예정.

김하늘, '18 어게인' 종영 소감 '오랫동안 재미있었던 캐릭터로 기억될 것' - 서울경제 - 서울경제신문

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:24 PM PST

김하늘 / 사진=sidusHQ 제공

배우 김하늘이 시청자들에게 애틋한 소감을 전했다.

11일 김하늘은 JTBC 월화드라마 '18 어게인' (극본 김도연 안은빈 최이륜/연출 하병훈)의 종영 소감을 전했다.

극 중 김하늘은 극중 늦깎이 신입 아나운서 다정 역을 맡아 일과 가사에 똑 부러진 모습으로 열심히 사는 이 시대 여성들의 워너비로 응원을 받았다.

또 18살이 된 남편과 펼치는 두 번째 로맨스라는 스토리에 자연스럽게 녹아드는 섬세한 감정연기는 물론, 판타지 설정을 명불허전 멜로력으로 승화시키며 극의 몰입도를 높였다.

김하늘은 "8개월이라는 기간 동안 따뜻한 드라마 속에서 '다정'이로 지낼 수 있어서 행복했습니다. 너무 좋은 스태프분들, 배우분들과 함께 정도 많이 들었고 즐거웠던 기억이 많아서 아쉬움이 크지만 그만큼 의미가 큰 작품으로 남을 것 같아요"라며 애정 어린 마음을 드러냈다.

이어 "다정이란 역할이 이른 나이에 아이를 낳았어도 아나운서라는 꿈을 포기하지 않고 열심히 사는 캐릭터였어요. 댄스, 아나운싱, 액션까지 다양한 모습을 보여준 만큼 시청자분들에게도 그리고 저에게도 오랫동안 재미있었던 캐릭터로 기억될 것 같아요. '18 어게인'을 사랑해 주신 시청자 여러분께 정말 감사드리고, 따뜻한 드라마로 오래오래 기억해 주셨으면 좋겠습니다. 감사합니다"라고 감사의 인사를 잊지 않았다.

한편, '18 어게인'은 지난 10일 마지막회가 방송됐다.

Solactive and Goldman Sachs Asset Management develop ARTIS-based global equity index for new Goldman Sachs ETF - ETF Express

Solactive and Goldman Sachs Asset Management have developed the Solactive Innovative Global Equity Index, which will serve as the underlying for Goldman Sachs' new Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF.

The index takes into account five key disruptive themes that are redefining the business world, the global economy and society, and, therefore, the investment landscape. 

The Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF combines five established Goldman Sachs ETFs that previously tackled technological innovations separately. From 9 November, the legacy ETFs will be reorganised and merged in the Goldman Sachs Innovate Equity ETF. The five topics 'Data-Driven World', 'Finance Reimagined', 'Human Evolution', 'Manufacturing Revolution', and 'New Age Consumer' encompass 23 subthemes, including, for example, E-Commerce, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Genomics, and Robotics.

The selection of the Solactive Innovative Global Equity Index's constituents is based on Solactive's proprietary Natural Language Processing Engine ARTIS. ARTIS is utilising advanced algorithms to parse high volumes of public documents evaluating companies' exposure to various themes or topics. The sophisticated procedure not only detects potential index constituents considering a firm's exposure to a theme but also ranks its importance to the very subject or industry. The Solactive Innovative Global Equity Index itself is comprised of five equally-weighted indices that include companies from the aforementioned respective topics 'Data-Driven World', 'Finance Reimagined', 'Human Evolution', 'Manufacturing Revolution', and 'New Age Consumer'.

"Technological progress is inevitable, and what seemed unimaginable years ago is, today, something we cannot live without. Therefore, we think it is crucial to create an index that reflects societal and technological changes from early on," says Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive. "We are very fortunate that Goldman Sachs Asset Management regards in us a trusted provider that enables them to reach the goal of making future investment trends investible with their new ETF. We are looking forward to continuing our fruitful relationship with Goldman Sachs Asset Management."

球体が新トレンド!? 4世代目に突入したAmazon EchoとEcho Dot - AV Watch

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:16 PM PST

desimpul.blogspot.com

円筒形から球体に

スマートスピーカーと言えば、ほぼ最初からどのメーカーも円筒形で作っていた。モノラルスピーカーだったので、スピーカーを下向きに配置すると円筒形が一番合理的な形で、それが長く続いたわけだ。しかしスマートスピーカーも、音声コマンドで様々な情報を提供するデバイスという役割も一端落ち着いて、昨今は音楽を聴くための新デバイスという位置づけになりつつあるのではないかという気がする。昔で言う、ラジカセのポジションだ。

そうなるとオーディオ装置として小型化とステレオ化を両立させる必要がある。かといって横倒しの円筒形では、Bluetoothスピーカーでよくある形であり、新鮮味がない。「2つ買えばステレオです」は忠誠心が試される。そんなことから、スピーカーを2つ内蔵させるユニークな形状として、球体となるのは妥当であろう。

10月22日から発売が開始された第4世代のAmazon EchoとEcho Dotは、以前からの円筒形から球体となった。Echo Dotはモノラルだが、今後スマートスピーカーのアイコンとしては「球体がデフォルト」になるのかもしれない。そういえば10月14日に発表されたApple HomePod miniもモノラルながらほぼ球体だった。一方Google Nest Audioは平たい立方体で、独自の個性がある。

ソフトボールサイズの第4世代Echo Dot

さて第4世代のEchoはAmzonで11,980円(税込)。Echo Dotは時計ディスプレイ付きが6,980円(税込)、ディスプレイなしが5,980円(税込)となっている。

スマートスピーカーとしては標準機となりつつあるAmazon Echo、その最新モデルをチェックしてみよう。

ステレオ仕様でオーディオ装置化した新Echo

まずはEchoのほうから見ていこう。カラーはグレーシャーホワイト、チャコール、トワイライトブルーの3色。今回はチャコールをお借りしている。

起動中の新型Echo チャコール

これまでの円筒形ボディでは、天面に反応を示すライトリングやボタン、マイクなど、多くの機能を集約していた。一方球体ボディでは円筒形の天面のような「空き地」がないので、ボタン配置などには苦慮の様子が伺える。

上部の4ボタンは、ファブリック素材で覆われたフレームの上に、樹脂製ボタンを貼り付けている。押し込むとクリック感があるスイッチだ。ボタンの形で切り取ってあるので、暗闇の中でも手探りで音量アップダウンボタンを探せるようになった。

上部の4ボタンは頂点よりやや後ろにある

シルエットは球体だが、ファブリックで覆われている部分は約半分で、横から見ると斜めに切ったような格好になっている。つまり円筒時代のように360度音を蒔くわけではなく、正面があるという事である。

ファブリック素材部分は半球のみ

リングライトボタンは底面となり、設置面との反射も合わせて、ぼんやりと光る格好となった。ボリュームは円の角度でわかるようになっているのだが、反射でぼんやりしか輪郭が見えないので、今どれぐらいの角度なのかはわかりにくくなった。

リングライトが示すボリュームの角度はわかりにくくなった

接地面は小さいが、球体なので結局は球の直径ぶんの接地面積が必要になる。直径は144mmなので、第3世代Echoよりは場所をとるようになった。

新Echo底部。三脚穴もある

背面はACアダプタ端子と、アナログ音声の入出力端子がある。この端子は、従来のEchoでは出力に限定されており、逆にEcho Studioだけはスピーカーの能力を生かすために入力となっていた。新Echoでは、この端子を入力にするのか出力にするのか、アプリで選べるようになっている。これはEchoとしてははじめての試みだ。

背面端子。右の音声端子は入出力を切り換えできる
入出力はアプリ側で切り換える
専用ACアダプタ。30Wの記載がある

内部構造としては、3.0インチ(約7.6cm)ウーファーが上方やや前向きに付けられており、0.8インチ(約2cm)ツイーターがハの字に配置されている。実際に音を聴いてみると、本体サイズよりも外側に拡がって音が聞こえる。

音質評価としては、第3世代よりよくなったという人、悪くなったという人が分かれるところだが、このスピーカーはリスナーとの距離でかなり音がかわる。それによって評価がブレるのではないかと思われる。

だいたい1m以内の距離では、低音は十分で、音の出方はEcho Studioに近い。加えてステレオ感が大きく、サウンドに包まれるような感覚が得られる。小型の割りには高音域が控えめなので、アプリの「音質」で高域を+3ぐらい上げてやるとバランスが良くなる。Echoの標準リスニングポイントは約3mの距離だそうだが、個人的にはニアフィールドでメリットが出るスピーカーのように思える。

背が低いので、モニター前に置いても画面が見える

それ以上離れて聴くと、急速に低音が減衰し、ステレオ感もだいたい肩幅ぐらいの感じに聞こえる。低音と入れ替わるように高音の出がよくなり、イコライザはフラットで十分なバランスとなる。おそらくニアフィールドだとウーファーの向きの真正面に顔が来るので、かなり低音寄りのサウンドになるのだろう。低域はそれほど鋭い指向性は持たないものだが、ウーファーで中音域までカバーしているので、ある程度の指向性は出てしまうようだ。

音楽ストリーミングサービスとしては、もちろんAmazon Music HDがデフォルトとなる。ただハイレゾのUltra HDや3Dオーディオには対応しない。

また地味なところではあるが、本機はスマートホームハブ機能も内蔵した。第2世代まであったEcho Plusの機能を、ここに集約した格好だ。加えて温度センサーも内蔵しているが、これもEcho Plusにあった機能である。これにより、部屋の温度が設定値より高くなったり低くなったりすると、自動でコマンドを発することができるようになった。例えばエアコンと連動していれば、暑くなったら自動的にエアコンをONにするといったアクションが可能になる。

室内温度に応じて自動でコマンドを出す事も可能

小型ながら侮れない新Echo Dot

起動中の新Echo Dot グレーシャーホワイト

続いて新Echo Dotを見ていこう。カラーは新Echoと同じ3色だが、時計付きモデルはグレーシャーホワイトとトワイライトブルーのみで、チャコールがない。今回は時計付きグレーシャーホワイトをお借りしている。

形状としてはEchoとまるっきり同じで、直径が10cmと小型になっているだけである。上部のボタン、底部のリングライトも構造は同じだ。端子はACアダプタと、アナログ音声出力端子。こちらは出力専用で、切り替えできるようにはなっていない。

側面。作りは似ている
背面のオーディオ端子は出力のみ
直径で4cm違いだが、印象は大きく変わる

時計付きモデルは正面に7セグメント4桁のディスプレイがあり、ファブリック素材越しに光るようになっている。ディスプレイのON・OFFや明るさはアプリから設定できる。12時間表示、24時間表示の切り換えも可能だ。

ディスプレイの明るさも調整できる

スピーカー的には1.6インチ(約4cm)のモノラルスピーカーで、口径こそ第3世代の円筒型と同じだが、音質的にはかなり違う。正直第3世代は、音楽は再生できるものの、日常的にリスニングに使うという感じでもなく、単に音声コマンドを受け答えするだけのデバイスといった感じだった。そのポジションはEcho Flexに譲り、音楽スピーカーとしてしっかり設計したようだ。

スピーカーは、天面のボタンと時計の間に向けられている。したがってこちらも音の方向としては、正面がある作りだ。モノラルで拡散板なしということで、音の広がりはないが、フルレンジの良さを生かしつつ低音特性が大幅に改善されており、バランスは良好だ。ボーカルもの、アコースティックギターものは特にフィットする。ちょっと中音域にクセがあるが、気になる場合はオーディオの設定で中音域を-2ぐらい下げるといいだろう。

音量もかなり出るほうだが、50%を超えると若干歪みっぽく聞こえる。ただ50%とはいえかなりの大音量なので、そこまで上げるケースはそれほどないだろう。ステレオペアにも対応するので、もう一つ時計なしモデルを買って、ステレオ仕様で使うのもいい。

特に時計付きだと球体のかわいいルックスと相まって、第3世代よりもインテリア感が強くなった。棚の上やキッチン、ベッドサイドに置きたくなる形だ。

時計付きはインテリア性が高まる

ただ、いろんなところに自由に置くにはACアダプタのケーブル長が1.5mと、ちょっと短い。この形状なら、家の中を自由に持って歩きたいというニーズもあるだろう。このサイズでバッテリー式ならさらに良かったと思う。

ACアダプタのサイズは同じだが、こちらは15Wとなっている

またディスプレイは時計だけでなく、音量を変えれば数字で示してくれるのも便利だ。例えば音声でボリュームを3に、と言ったところで、3がどれぐらいかはなかなか意識できないところだが、数字で見えれば感覚と一致しやすい。

ボリューム変更も数字で教えてくれる

加えてAlexaに今の気温を聴くと、温度を数字で表示してくれる。タイマーをセットすれば、残時間を表示してくれる。現在時刻から24時間以内にアラームがセットされた場合、時計の右下にドットが表示される。またアラームがなった時に頭をタップすると、スヌーズになる。そういう部分でも時計付きEcho Dotは、家に1個あっていいなと思わせる。

気温も数字でお知らせ

総論

新Echoは、いわゆるAmazon Echoとしては標準機のポジションだ。これまで音質的には「まあまあ」であったモデルが、2Wayステレオ仕様になったという点は大きな進歩だと思う。普段筆者はEcho Studioで音楽を聴く機会も多いが、低音の迫力はこれに迫るものがある。ただ意外な事に、高域はEcho Studioのほうが伸びがある。小さいから高域が出るというわけでもないのが面白いところだ。

本文にも書いたが1m以上離れると音のキャラクターが変わるので、どこに置くかで印象はだいぶ違ってくる。設置面積は増えたが、背が低くなったので、置き場所も変わってくる事だろう。球体だから転がりやすいと思われるかもしれないが、重心が下にあるので、横倒しになっても起き上がりこぼしみたいに正対する。

Echo Dotは、Echoの中では一番売れているモデルだそうだが、その後継機ということで新Echo Dotも注目度が高い。執筆時点では、Echo Dotの時計付きモデルのみ1カ月待ちのようである。

内部のスピーカーは前作と同口径だが、音質的には全然違ってしっかり低音も出してくるので、音楽的にも楽しめるだろう。キッチンや寝室など、小音量で軽く流しておくみたいな用途なら十分なはずだ。

こちらも重心が下にあるが、全体的に軽いので自力で正対するまではいかない。床に置いておくと気がつかないサイズなので、棚や机の上に置いた方がいいだろう。

正直スマートスピーカーとしては、スキルと対応デバイス次第なので、どの世代でもあまり使い勝手に違いは無い。第4世代はボイスコマンドの解析に優れた「AZ1ニューラル・エッジ・プロセッサ」が搭載されて、応答性が高いそうだが、まだ米国のみの対応で日本でのサービスインは時期未定となっている。次世代なりの賢さが発揮されるまでは、まだ少し時間がかかりそうだ。

第4世代でオーディオ性能を大幅に上げてきたわけだが、タイミングを同じくして競合他社も同じ動きである。自社音楽サービスを一番楽しめるデバイスとしての位置づけが色濃くなってきた、という事なのかもしれない。

Apple is breaking a 15-year partnership with Intel on its Macs — here's why - CNBC

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:11 PM PST

Apple announced three new Mac computers on Tuesday: a MacBook Air, a 13-inch MacBook Pro, and a Mac Mini. They essentially look the same as their predecessors.

What's new this time is the chip that runs them. Now they're powered by Apple's M1 chip instead of Intel processors. Tuesday's announcement marks the end of a 15-year run where Intel processors powered Apple's laptops and desktops, and a big shift for the semiconductor industry.

Apple is the fourth-largest PC maker measured by shipments, according to a Gartner estimate, so its plan to use its own chips in its entire lineup of laptops and desktops, first announced in June, is a blow for Intel.

"We believe Intel-powered PCs—like those based on 11th Gen Intel Core mobile processors—provide global customers the best experience in the areas they value most, as well as the most open platform for developers," Intel said in a statement.

Apple's chips are based on ARM technology, as opposed to the x86 architecture that Intel's chips use. ARM was originally designed for mobile devices, and chips built with ARM designs are consistently more efficient, leading to longer battery life. On a laptop, that could mean several extra hours away from the plug.

But that's only one reason why Apple is switching out the brains of its laptops. Here's a rundown of why Apple made the move:

Apple's strategy of owning core technologies. Apple CEO Tim Cook has frequently said that the company has a "long-term strategy of owning and controlling the primary technologies behind the products we make."

For a computer hardware company, there are few technologies less essential than the silicon processors that the machines run on.

Apple has invested heavily in its silicon department, including major purchases, starting with a $278 million purchase of P. A. Semi in 2008, which started the department, and most recently, $1 billion for part of Intel's modem business in 2019. It's been building its own A-series chips for iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches since 2010. Now it's essentially bringing the same technology to laptops and desktops, meaning that all Apple computers basically run on the same framework.

"Apple Silicon is totally in keeping with the strategic goal of Apple to really control an entire stack," CCS Insight research director Wayne Lam said. "Now in computing, they own everything from silicon to the software to how the user moves the mouse around, so it's tremendously integrated."

Controlling its own technologies helps Apple integrate its products more deeply. It also means that it runs its own schedule — chips take 3 years to develop, Apple senior vice president Johny Srouji said last year — and has more control over costs.

"Apple thinks they can innovate faster than the standard business model of Intel or Qualcomm doing the development on chips and then they build on top of it," Lam said.

Intel is falling behind in manufacturing. Apple proudly said on Tuesday that the M1 chip in the new Macs uses 5-nanometer transistors.

"Five-nanometer is the leading edge of process technology right now and there are only a few products out at this point," Gartner research director Jon Erensen said. Currently, Intel is shipping chips with 10-nanometer transistors.

In general, the more transistors a chipmaker can fit into the same space, the more efficient the chip is. Currently, Intel ships chips only with 10-nanometer transistors.

Intel famously controls its own factories, called "fabs," around the world, compared to Apple, which contracts with companies in Asia to manufacture chips to its own specifications. But Apple's chip manufacturing partner, TSMC, can make 5-nanometer chips while Intel can't.

"Intel's had some challenges over the last couple of years on the manufacturing side. And I think those challenges have opened a window or opportunity for ARM-based designs for come in. Apple is one of the the best ARM-based processor designers out there," Erensen said.

Earlier this year, Intel CEO Bob Swan said that it was considering outsourcing its manufacturing, like what Apple does.

"With the challenges that Intel has had moving to 10-nanometer and 7-nanometer while foundries like TSMC and Samsung have pushed more aggressively, it's taken one of Intel's key advantages and leveled the playing field a bit," Erensen said.

More battery life, potentially better performance, and laptops that work like phones. Apple says that the M1 Macs are better products than the older models, mainly because Apple claims its chips enbable better performance and longer battery life than it could achieve using Intel's chips.

It's clear that the new Macs will have improved battery life. Apple's previous chips have been used in smartphones and tablets, which have significantly smaller batteries.

During Apple's launch event on Tuesday, the company emphasized how it mainly evaluates chips on performance per watt, not raw performance.

On the entry-level MacBook Air, Apple says that it can manage 15 hours of web browsing on one charge, nearly 30% more than the advertised 10 to 11 hour battery life of the previous Intel-based model.

The new Macs also work more like phones or tablets, Apple said, with features like the ability to wake up from sleep instantly. The new M1 Macs can even run iPhone apps, if the developer takes a few steps to make them available on Apple's App Store.

However, analysts warn that Apple's performance claims, like that it is faster than comparable PCs, will need to be tested once the computers hit shelves next week.

"Performance of the new M1 chip is nearly impossible to gauge as the company didn't provide any detailed substantiation around any of the performance claims made," Moor Insights founder Patrick Moorhead said.

Apple did not stop selling Intel laptops on Tuesday, and its highest-end laptops are still Intel-based, suggesting that there are still performance advantages to some Intel chips.

Biden, pledging unity, begins transition as Trump refuses to concede - Big News Network

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 05:11 PM PST

US President-elect Joe Biden took the first steps on Sunday towards taking over the White House 73 days from now but Donald Trump showed no signs of being ready to admit defeat and continued to sow doubt about the election results.

As congratulations poured in from world leaders and supporters nursed hangovers after a day of raucous celebrations, Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris launched a transition website, BuildBackBetter.com, and a Twitter feed, @Transition46.

While Trump is refusing to concede Tuesday's election and most Republican lawmakers are adopting a studied silence, former president George W. Bush said the "outcome is clear."

Bush, 74, the only living Republican ex-president, said he had called "President-elect" Biden and Harris to extend his "warm congratulations".

While Trump has the right to request recounts and pursue legal challenges, Bush said "the American people can have confidence that this election was fundamentally fair, its integrity will be upheld, and its outcome is clear."

"Though we have political differences, I know Joe Biden to be a good man, who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country," Bush said in a statement. "We must come together for the sake of our families and neighbours, and for our nation and its future."

The transition website lists four priorities for an administration led by Barack Obama's former vice president: Covid-19, economic recovery, racial equity and climate change.

"The team being assembled will meet these challenges on Day One," it said in a reference to 20 January, 2021, when Biden will be sworn in as the 46th President of the United States.

Biden, who turns 78 on 20 November, is the oldest person ever elected to the White House. Harris, 56, the junior senator from California, is the first woman and first Black person to be elected vice president.

Biden plans to name a task force on Monday to tackle the coronavirus pandemic which has left more than 237 000 people dead in the United States and is surging across the country.

He has also announced plans to rejoin the Paris climate accord and will reportedly issue an executive order on his first day reversing Trump's the travel ban on mostly Muslim countries.

Biden has vowed to name a cabinet that reflects the diversity of the country although he may have some trouble gaining Senate approval for more progressive appointees if Republicans retain control of the Senate - an outcome that will depend on two runoff races in Georgia in January.

さあどっちにする? MacBook AirとMacBook Proの違いをチェック #AppleEvent - ギズモード・ジャパン

Posted: 10 Nov 2020 04:16 PM PST

desimpul.blogspot.com

ポチる前に、よーく比べてみようかな。

先ほどは勢いでポチっちゃいそうになりましたけど、今回発表された新型MacBook AirとMacBook Pro、どっちがいいかなって考えたときに、それぞれのスペックをじっくり比較しようかなと思って、表を作ってみたんですよ。ちょっと見てみましょうか。

MacBook AirとMacBook Proのスペック比較

MacBook AirMacBook Pro
CPUM1プロセッサ 8コア or 7コアM1プロセッサ 8コア
メモリ8GB(最大16GB)8GB(最大16GB)
ストレージ256GB(最大2TB)256GB(最大2TB)
サイズ高さ:0.41~1.61 cm/幅:30.41 cm/奥行き:21.24 cm高さ:1.56 cm/幅:30.41 cm/奥行き:21.24 cm
重量1.29kg1.4kg
バッテリー最大15時間のワイヤレスインターネット/最大18時間のApple TVアプリのムービー再生最大17時間のワイヤレスインターネット/最大20時間のApple TVアプリのムービー再生
外部端子USB 4/TB 3が2ポートUSB 4/TB 3が2ポート
ファンなしあり

まあ、ざっとこんな感じでしょうか。大きく違うのは、CPUのコア数、重量、バッテリーあたり。でも、正直それほど差がありません。ますますどっちを選んだらいいのか、迷っちゃいますね。

一言で言うと、「ベンチマークの結果を見ないとわからねえ!」って感じです。

じゃあ、どっちを買うの?

うーん、スペックを並べて見るとそれほど違いが感じられないわけですが、そもそもなんで今このタイミングで新型MacBook Air/Proが欲しいのか。それはもう「M1チップがどんなもんか触ってみたい」という好奇心です。だって、新しいチップですよ? インテル入ってないんですよ? それなのにmacOSが動くわけですから(いにしえのMacはそうだったんですけど)、どんな感じなのか体験してみたいじゃないですか!

そう考えると、とりあえずM1チップを体験するのならMacBook Airで充分かなと思うんです。価格もそこそこお手頃(というかかなり安いかなという感じ)ですし、メインマシンとしてバリバリ動かすことを考えなければ、性能的にも充分そうな感じがしますし。

ただし、「動画も写真もバリバリやりたい!」というメインマシン用途として考えるならMacBook Pro一択でしょうね。M1チップの性能が若干良さそうということもありますが、本体にファンがあるという点もポイントだと思います。

MacBook Airにはファンがありませんが、Proにはある。ということは、Proはファンを搭載しなければならないくらいハイパワーで動くのではないだろうかと予想できちゃうんですよね。

まあいずれにしても、「ベンチマークの結果を見ないとわからねえ!」ってことなんですけどね。実機触りたいなー。
