WorkWorkHuaweis new made-in-China software takes on Apple and Android - The Economist 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 Western-backed systems on which it and the rest of the world rely.
WorkQuincy 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 into the car. WorkTrump wins the election and a second chance - WSJ Donald Trump, meet Grover Cleveland, the only other President in U.S. history to win a second term after losing his first bid for re-election.

WorkWork WorkWhat can't Ozempic and other weight loss drugs cure?The popular weight-loss drug Wegovy, which has helped millions of Americans shed pounds, can be used to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attacks and other serious cardiovascular problems in patients who are overweight or who have obesity, federal regulators said in March. WorkLooking to Travel Around Thanksgiving? There's Still Time to Snag a Deal.Currently, the average round-trip ticket price from the United States to Europe for Thanksgiving is $605, and round-trip prices to Asia average $1,055, according to the booking platform Hopper. (Hopper defines Thanksgiving travel dates as the Sunday before the holiday to Thanksgiving Day.) These amounts are well below prices seen this past summer, during the peak travel season: Airfares then cost on average $875 for round trips from the United States to Europe, and to Asia, on average $1,451, according to Hopper. WorkWorkWorkOpinion | How Trump Upended the Gender Dynamics of American PoliticsWhen 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. WorkWorkWorkNew report details 'vast spying' by China-linked telecom hackersThe Journal confirms earlier reports that the hackers “limited their targets to several dozen select, high-value political and national-security figures.” But the hackers, who reportedly exploited routers used by telecom firms, had “the ability to access the phone data of virtually any American who is a customer of a compromised carrier — a group that includes AT&T and Verizon.” Both AT&T and Verizon declined to comment on the report. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkDonald Trump poised to win election after string of crucial swing state winsTrump told supporters “I am your retribution” and threatened to prosecute political foes, journalists and others. He suggested turning the US military against “the enemy from within”. He put immigration and border security at the heart of his pitch, painting a picture of the US overrun by illegal immigration, with language that veered into outright racism and fearmongering. He referred to undocumented people as “animals” with “bad genes … poisoning the blood of our country”. WorkTrump Trade Sinks Emerging Markets as Trade-War Fears ReturnNow, the US election result “opens the door to a stronger US dollar, higher US real rates, and tariff policies that disproportionately damage EM exporters,” said Ed Al-Hussainy, a New York-based strategist at Columbia Threadneedle. “We’re likely to see more weakness in the asset class, across local rates, FX, and high beta credit,” he said. WorkWorkNebraska Voters Pass Measure Limiting AbortionsThe sponsors of the winning measure said that the amendment would essentially affirm a law, passed by Nebraska lawmakers last year, that prohibits abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions to save the life of the pregnant woman or to prevent serious risk to her physical health, and in cases of rape and incest. WorkTrump Declares Victory and Thanks SupportersHe was joined onstage by his wife Melania and his children, including Ivanka Trump, who had not made a public appearance on the campaign trail this year. He gave the microphone to Dana White, the UFC chief executive, who thanked a list of podcasters and YouTubers who interviewed Mr. Trump as part of his campaign’s strategy to encourage turnout among young men. WorkWorkSouth Dakota Voters Reject Abortion Rights AmendmentThe amendment would have legalized abortion in the first trimester. The state could have restricted it in the second trimester if those restrictions were “reasonably” related to the physical health of the pregnant woman, and could have banned abortion in the third trimester except in cases where it is necessary to protect the life or health of the pregnant woman. WorkArizona Voters Approve Abortion Rights AmendmentA coalition of religious and anti-abortion groups had sued to keep the measure off the ballot, arguing that it opened up the potential for nearly unrestricted abortion and eliminated laws intended to protect women’s health and safety. Republicans who control the State Legislature and the State Supreme Court also opposed the measure. But the court rejected an effort by anti-abortion groups to strike the measure from the ballot, saying that it believed the abortion rights groups had met the requirements to place it there. WorkTrump Wins Pennsylvania, a Key Swing State PrizeBut Mr. Trump also won a sizable number of votes in key urban areas where Ms. Harris needed to count on high Democratic turnout. Lackawanna and Lehigh Counties shifted more than five percentage points toward Mr. Trump compared with his support in 2020. The counties contain the crucial eastern Pennsylvania cities of Scranton, Mr. Biden’s hometown, and Allentown. As of early Wednesday morning, Ms. Harris was leading in each county, but by a margin over five points slimmer than Mr. Biden’s in 2020. WorkWorkFischer Wins Nebraska Senate Race, Giving Republicans a MajorityIn his closing argument, Mr. Osborn pitched himself as the candidate of change and said he was more closely aligned with former President Donald J. Trump than Ms. Fischer was. Still, in a state dominated by Republicans, Mr. Osborn’s message did not resonate with enough voters to overcome the deluge of spending from Ms. Fischer and her party allies. WorkOmaha, Nebraska's So-Called Blue Dot, Goes for HarrisMs. Harris held on to the highly populated Douglas County, which includes Omaha and a majority of the state’s Second Congressional District. Though rural areas shifted toward the right across Nebraska, Democrats turned out for Ms. Harris at about the same level of Mr. Biden’s support in the district in 2020. WorkDemocrats Flip Newly Drawn Alabama Congressional SeatThe new Second District stretches across hundreds of miles and includes the state capital, Montgomery; a sizable portion of the coastal city Mobile; and much of the rural counties in the Black Belt, where enslaved people labored in the fertile cotton fields. About 49 percent of the district’s voters are Black, compared with 30 percent in its prior form.

The Federal Aviation Administration said five people were on board. WorkWorkWorkWorkTrump Wins North Carolina, a Critical Battleground State for RepublicansMr. Trump has faced criticism in the state for spreading misinformation about the federal and state response to Hurricane Helene, which ravaged North Carolina’s western region with flooding and landslides and killed more than 100 people in the state. Mr. Trump falsely claimed that disaster-relief funds were being diverted to house undocumented migrants, and suggested without evidence that Democrats were not eager to help conservative residents. WorkWorkKelly Ayotte, a Republican, Is Elected Governor of New HampshireAs governor, Ms. Ayotte will have to grapple with a budget deficit that could reach $1 billion. One factor is the scheduled phaseout of one of the state’s few taxes, on interest and dividends. During the campaign, Ms. Ayotte criticized Ms. Craig for opposing the tax phaseout, and warned voters that the state was “one election away from turning into Massachusetts.” WorkWorkGov. Greg Gianforte of Montana Handily Wins Re-electionIn 2021, after he became governor, Mr. Gianforte killed a wolf and was given a warning for having failed to take a wolf-trapping certification course, as required by the state. This year, law enforcement officers who investigated the wolf killing said they had been pressured by superiors to lie about the governor’s role in the killing. |
