Apple Inc on Tuesday introduced a MacBook Air notebook and other machines with its first central processor designed in-house for Macs, a move that will tie its computers and iPhones closer together technologically.
The new chip, called the M1, marks a shift away from Intel Corp technology that has driven the electronic brains of Mac computers for nearly 15 years.
It is a boon for Apple computers, which are overshadowed by the company’s iPhone but still rack up tens of billions of dollars in sales per year.
Apple hopes developers now will create families of apps that work on both its computers and phones.

They say talk is cheap. Tell that to Jack Ma.
Corporate China’s shiniest star was just days away from seeing his Ant Group list on the stock market in a record $37 billion deal, when he chose to launch a blistering public attack on the country’s financial watchdogs and banks.
The regulatory system was stifling innovation and must be reformed to fuel growth, billionaire Ma told a summit in Shanghai on Oct. 24 attended by the great and the good of China’s financial, regulatory and political establishment.
It was this speech that set off a chain of events that ultimately torpedoed the listing of Ant, the fintech titan Ma founded.

What a fluke. Dutch whale tail sculpture catches metro train. This really was a fluke.
The driver of a metro train escaped injury when the front carriage rammed through the end of an elevated section of rails and was caught by a sculpture of a whale’s tail near the Dutch port city of Rotterdam.
The train was left perched upon one of two tail fins known as “flukes” several meters above the ground.
It created such a stir locally that authorities urged sightseers to stay away, adding that coronavirus restrictions were in force.

20201030朗读 人脑中发现“时间细胞”帮助形成电影式的记忆
https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/10/29/929133717/why-some-memories-seem-like-movies-time-cells-discovered-in-human-brains
If you fall off a bike, you'll probably end up with a cinematic memory of the experience: the wind in your hair, the pebble on the road, then the pain.
That's known as an episodic memory. And now researchers have identified cells in the human brain that make this sort of memory possible.
The cells are called time cells, and they place a sort of time stamp on memories as they are being formed.
"By having time cells create this indexing across time, you can put everything together in a way that makes sense," says Dr. Bradley Lega, the study's senior author.

end up with 最终得到

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/oct/28/how-melbourne-embraced-its-first-day-of-freedom-starting-at-the-stroke-of-midnight
Melbourne residents have become somewhat accustomed to the world changing overnight.
But for what felt like the first time, they went to bed on Tuesday knowing they would wake up to a better version of their city.
Australia’s second-biggest city has been under harsh lockdown since July and although many businesses and individuals suffered greatly there is no denying it was effective.
On 26 October, Daniel Andrews, premier of the state of Victoria, announced the largest step in reopening for Melbourne so far, with non-essential stores, cafes, bars and restaurants able to open, and the “stay at home” orders lifted.
