When Huawei, the Chinese tech giant, releases its latest smartphone
this month, techies will strip it down to figure out how it works. The
semiconductors powering the Mate 70, as the device is called, will
reveal how much progress China has made in building its own chips and
breaking its reliance on foreign technology. But the software in the
phone may prove more important than the hardware. Huawei is expected
to install HarmonyOS NEXT, its new homemade operating system, on the
devices. This would be Chinas first clean break with the

Quincy Jones Had Something for Everyone - The New Yorker

In my youth, in the nineteen-nineties, my record-store experiences
were governed by what was, or wasnt, in my pockets. I was a frequent
attendee at the bargain bin, because I had bargain-bin money; my older
siblings had more buying power, and I didnt want to be the only one to
exit a record store empty-handed, so Id dig through the cheap
cassettesdeeply discounted joints from months or years past, or just
some poor recording that didnt hit the charts the way it was expected
to and found itself prematurely in a graveyard of discarded tunes. Id
reach up on my toes and slide my money across the high counter and
tell the cashier that I didnt want a bag because I wanted to walk out
with the tape in my hands, and put it right into my Walkman when I got

Opinion | How Trump Upended the Gender Dynamics of American Politics
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=89567&nl=daily]
When he wanted to insult his enemies he identified them by qualities
that the rules of hegemonic masculinity code as feminine: less
intelligent (“low-I.Q.” Robert DeNiro), feminized (“Tampon
Tim” Walz), weak (“sleepy Joe”). If the enemy was a woman, he
described her through a lens of sexuality or motherhood, because for
him that’s a woman’s primary value to men. So it’s no surprise
that he painted Ms. Harris as “low-I.Q.” and “lazy” and
gleefully suggested that she slept her way to the top.
