Says All 2021 Films Will Be Streamed Right Away<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aBrooks Barnes and Nicole Sperling<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a startling move that marked the biggest challenge yet to Hollywood\u2019s traditional way of doing business, Warner Bros. announced Thursday that 17 movies \u2014 its entire 2021 slate \u2014 would each arrive simultaneously in theaters and on its sibling streaming service, the underperforming HBO Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than having to wait roughly 90 days, the period that studios have long given theaters to play films exclusively, HBO Max subscribers will receive instant access to big-budget extravaganzas like a \u201cSuicide Squad\u201d sequel, \u201cGodzilla vs. Kong,\u201d \u201cDune\u201d and \u201cThe Matrix 4.\u201d Other movies speeding to living rooms next year include Lin-Manuel Miranda\u2019s \u201cIn the Heights,\u201d Clint Eastwood\u2019s \u201cCry Macho,\u201d the next \u201cConjuring\u201d horror film, \u201cSpace Jam: A New Legacy\u201d and a \u201cSopranos\u201d prequel called \u201cThe Many Saints of Newark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the move amounted to 17 shots in the arm for HBO Max, which has struggled to attract subscribers since its introduction in May for $15 a month, it was also a strikingly grim comment on the future of movie theaters. Even with a widely deployed vaccine, which is expected in the coming months, WarnerMedia does not believe that moviegoing in the United States will recover until at least next fall, an assessment that stands in sharp contrast with what other major movie studios and multiplex chains have signaled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike a lot of businesses, theaters are in a tough spot right now,\u201d Jason Kilar, WarnerMedia\u2019s chief executive, said by phone. \u201cWe are all in the middle of a pandemic, and we are all trying to figure our way through it. One of the things we can do to be helpful to them is to provide them with a steady stream of big-budget, well-told stories.\u201d Kilar said the company had no plans to be flexible; even if the coronavirus threat receded dramatically in the summer, the new distribution model will stand for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one wrinkle: Each movie will appear on HBO Max for only one month before leaving the service. At that point, films will cycle through the usual release \u201cwindows,\u201d leaving theaters when interest has run out and heading to iTunes, DVD and points beyond, eventually cycling back to HBO Max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>startling\u3000\u9a5a\u304f\u3079\u304d\u3001\u885d\u6483\u7684\u306a<br>simultaneously\u3000\u540c\u6642\u306b<br>underperforming\u3000\u6a19\u6e96\u4ee5\u4e0b\u306e\u3001\u4e0d\u63a1\u7b97\u306e<br>extravaganza\u3000\u6d3e\u624b\u306a\u30b7\u30e7\u30fc\u3001\u83ef\u3084\u304b\u306a\u796d\u5178<br>sequel\u3000 \u7d9a\u7de8\u3001\u5f8c\u7de8<br>prequel&nbsp;\u3000\u524d\u7de8\u3001\u904e\u53bb\u3092\u63cf\u304f\u7d9a\u7de8<br>amount \u5408\u8a08 \uff5e\u306b\u9054\u3059\u308b \u3000<br>grim\u3000 \u53b3\u3057\u3044\u3001\u624b\u53b3\u3057\u3044\u3001\u53b3\u683c\u306a<br>deploy\u3000\u914d\u7f6e\u30fb\u5c55\u958b\u3059\u308b<br>multiplex \u3000\u8907\u5408\uff08\u578b\uff09\u6620\u753b\u9928\u3000<br>recede\u3000\u9000\u304f\u3001\u5f8c\u9000\u3059\u308b<br>wrinkle\u3000\u65b0\u8da3\u5411\u3001\u77e5\u6075\u3001\u3046\u307e\u3044\u8003\u3048<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"126\">12\/6(\u65e5)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/112399\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>House Passes Landmark Bill Decriminalizing Marijuana<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aCatie Edmondson<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The House on Friday passed sweeping legislation that would decriminalize marijuana and expunge nonviolent marijuana-related convictions, as Democrats sought to roll back and compensate for decades of drug policies that have disproportionately affected low-income communities of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 228-164 vote to approve the measure was bipartisan, and it was the first time either chamber of Congress had ever endorsed the legalization of cannabis. The bill would remove the drug from the Controlled Substances Act and authorize a 5% tax on marijuana that would fund community and small-business grant programs to help those most affected by the criminalization of marijuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The legislation is, for now, almost certainly doomed in the Republican-led Senate, where that party\u2019s leaders have derided it as a superficial distraction from the work of passing coronavirus relief, as lawmakers inched toward bipartisan compromise after spending months locked in an impasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the bill\u2019s passage in the House amounted to a watershed moment decades in the making for advocates of marijuana legislation, and it laid out an expansive federal framework for redressing the racial disparities in the criminal justice system exacerbated by the war on drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe effects of marijuana prohibition have been particularly felt by communities of color because it has meant that people from the communities couldn\u2019t get jobs,\u201d Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y. and the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nadler, who spearheaded the legislation with Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. and the vice president-elect, described the collateral consequences of a conviction for marijuana possession as creating \u201can often-permanent second-class status for millions of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea behind the legislation is \u201cyou want to make whole these communities, and you want to compensate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The law would require federal courts to release those serving sentences for nonviolent, marijuana-related offenses, and set up grant programs focused on providing job training, legal aid and substance use treatment, as well as grants for small businesses in the marijuana industry led by low-income and minority business owners. Physicians with the Department of Veterans Affairs would also be allowed for the first time to recommend medical marijuana to their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Sweeping \u629c\u672c\u7684<br>Decriminalize \u975e\u72af\u7f6a\u5316<br>Expunge \u62b9\u6d88\u3059\u308b<br>Nonviolent \u975e\u66b4\u529b\u7684\u306a<br>Conviction \u5224\u6c7a<br>Disproportionately \u4e0d\u91e3\u308a\u5408\u3044\u306b<br>Bipartisan \u4e8c\u515a\u63d0\u643a\u306e<br>Endorse \u652f\u6301\u3059\u308b<br>Doomed \u7d76\u671b\u7684<br>Derided \u5632\u7b11\u3059\u308b<br>Superficial \u8868\u9762\u7684\u306a<br>Impasse \u884c\u304d\u8a70\u307e\u308a<br>Watershed \u5206\u5c90\u70b9<br>Advocate \u4e3b\u5531\u8005<br>Disparities \u683c\u5dee<br>Exacerbated \u60aa\u5316\u3055\u305b\u308b<br>Spearheaded \u5148\u982d\u306b\u7acb\u3064<br>Collateral \u4e8c\u6b21\u7684\u306a<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"127\">12\/7(\u6708)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/112335\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Police Drones Are Starting to Think for Themselves<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aCade Metz<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Chula Vista police receive a 911 call, they can dispatch a flying drone with the press of button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a recent afternoon, from a launchpad on the roof of the Chula Vista Police Department, they sent a drone across the city to a crowded parking lot where a young man was asleep in the front seat of a stolen car with drug paraphernalia on his lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the man left the car, carrying a gun and a bag of heroin, a nearby police car had trouble following as he sprinted across the street and ducked behind a wall. But as he threw the gun into a dumpster and hid the bag of heroin, the drone, hovering above him, caught everything on camera. When he slipped through the back door of a strip mall, exited through the front door and ran down the sidewalk, it caught that, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching the live video feed, an officer back at headquarters relayed the details to police on the scene, who soon caught the man and took him into custody. Later, they retrieved the gun and the heroin. And after another press of the button, the drone returned, on its own, to the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each day, Chula Vista police respond to as many as 15 emergency calls with a drone, launching more than 4,100 flights since the program began two years ago. Chula Vista, a Southern California city with a population of 270,000, is the first in the country to adopt such a program, called Drone as First Responder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such newfound automation, however, raises civil liberties concerns, especially as drones gain the power to track vehicles and people automatically. As the police use more drones, they could collect and store more video of life in the city, which could remove any expectation of privacy once you leave the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCommunities should ask hard questions about these programs. As the power and scope of this technology expands, so does the need for privacy protection,\u201d said Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst with the American Civil Liberties Union\u2019s Project on Speech, Privacy and Technology. \u201cDrones can be used to investigate known crimes. But they are also sensors that can generate offenses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>a 911 call \u30a2\u30e1\u30ea\u30ab\u306e\u7dca\u6025\u901a\u5831\u7528\u96fb\u8a71\u756a\u53f7\u3078\u306e\u9023\u7d61<br>with the press of (a) button \u30dc\u30bf\u30f3\u4e00\u3064\u3067<br>launchpad \u3000\u767a\u5c04\u53f0<br>paraphernalia \u88c5\u5099\u3001\u9053\u5177\u4e00\u5f0f<br>sprint \u3000(\u52d5) \u5168\u529b\u3067\u8d70\u308b\u3000\u3000\uff08\u540d\uff09\u77ed\u8ddd\u96e2\u7af6\u4e89<br>duck \u3000 (\u52d5) (\u4f53\u3092)\u3061\u3087\u3063\u3068\u304b\u304c\u3081\u308b\u3001\u8eab\u3092\u304b\u308f\u3059<br>dumpster \u5927\u578b\u3054\u307f\u5bb9\u5668<br>hover \u7a7a\u4e2d\u306b\u505c\u6b62\u3059\u308b\u3001\u30db\u30d0\u30ea\u30f3\u30b0\u3059\u308b<br>take someone into custody \uff08\u4eba\uff09\u3092\u62d8\u675f\u3059\u308b\u3001\u53d6\u308a\u62bc\u3055\u3048\u308b<br>retrieve \u56de\u53ce\u3059\u308b\u3000[re:\u518d\u3073\u3001trover:\u898b\u3064\u3051\u308b]<br>newfound \u65b0\u767a\u898b\u306e<br>civil liberty \u5e02\u6c11\u7684\u81ea\u7531<br>sensor \u611f\u77e5\u5668\u3001\u30bb\u30f3\u30b5\u30fc<br>offence \u72af\u7f6a<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"128\">12\/8(\u706b)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/112802\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Jupiter and Saturn Head for Closest Visible Alignment in 800 Years<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aMichael Levenson<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For months, Saturn and Jupiter have appeared to be courting, as the giant celestial bodies have gradually drawn nearer in the night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next two weeks, as their orbits align more closely, the planets will pull closer until they appear to be just a tenth of a degree apart \u2014 about the thickness of a dime held at arm\u2019s length, according to NASA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The encounter, known as a great conjunction, happens about every 20 years. But this one \u2014 arriving Dec. 21, the winter solstice \u2014 is special, astronomers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be the closest alignment of Saturn and Jupiter, the largest planets in our solar system, since 1623. But that conjunction, just 14 years after Galileo built his first telescope, was 13 degrees away from the sun, making it almost impossible to view from Earth, said Amy C.

Uber is likely to license whatever technology Aurora manages to create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deal amounts to a fire-sale end to a high-profile but star-crossed effort to replace Uber\u2019s human drivers with machines that could drive on their own. It is also indicative of the challenges facing other autonomous vehicle projects, which have received billions in investments from Silicon Valley and automakers but have not produced the fleets of robotic vehicles some thought would be on the streets by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aurora\u2019s chief executive, Chris Urmson, said Aurora\u2019s first product will not be a robot taxi that could help with Uber\u2019s ride-hailing business. Instead, it will likely be a self-driving truck, which Urmson believes has a better chance of success in the near term because long-haul truck driving on highways is more predictable and does not involve passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a statement, the Uber chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi, said he was looking forward to bringing Aurora technology to market \u201cin the years ahead.\u201d Uber declined to comment further on the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among self-driving car projects, Uber\u2019s effort, which led to the death of a pedestrian in Arizona; a lawsuit from Waymo, the self-driving car company owned by the same parent company as Google; and a guilty plea from a former Uber executive accused of stealing intellectual property, was particularly fraught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It began with an ambitious \u2014 but in hindsight fanciful \u2014 proposition: Uber\u2019s biggest expense was its drivers. If it could replace the drivers with machines, it could eventually reduce expenses and become profitable, ending years and billions of losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>self-driving\u3000\u81ea\u52d5\u904b\u8ee2<br>profitable\u3000\u53ce\u76ca\u6027\u306e\u3042\u308b<br>autonomous\u3000\u81ea\u5f8b\u6027\u306e<br>essentially\u3000\u57fa\u672c\u7684\u306b\u306f<br>fire-sale\u3000\u683c\u5b89\u306e<br>star-crossed\u3000\u60b2\u904b\u306e\u3001\u8584\u5e78\u306e<br>near term\u3000\u8fd1\u3044\u5c06\u6765<br>predictable\u3000\u4e88\u60f3\u304c\u4ed8\u304d\u3084\u3059\u3044<br>pedestrian\u3000\u6b69\u884c\u8005<br>accused\u3000\u544a\u767a\u3055\u308c\u305f<br>fraught\u3000\u554f\u984c\u304c\u3044\u3063\u3071\u3044\u306e<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1210\">12\/10(\u6728)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/113051\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>Pfizer\u2019s Vaccine Debuts in Britain as the World\u2019s First Fully Tested Vaccine<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aBenjamin Mueller<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Britain\u2019s National Health Service delivered its first shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday, opening a mass vaccination campaign with little precedent in modern medicine and making Britons the first people in the world to receive a clinically authorized, fully tested vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At 6:31 a.m. Tuesday, Margaret Keenan, 90, a former jewelry shop assistant, rolled up the sleeve of her \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d T-shirt to receive the first shot, and her image quickly became an emblem of the remarkable race to produce a vaccine and the global effort to end a pandemic that has killed 1.5 million people worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel so privileged to be the first person vaccinated against COVID-19,\u201d said Keenan, who lives in Coventry, in central England. \u201cIt means I can finally look forward to spending time with my family and friends in the new year after being on my own for most of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the people receiving vaccinations in Britain, among them doctors and nurses who have fortified the country\u2019s ailing National Health Service this year, the shots were an early glimpse at post-pandemic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first 800,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for Britain were transported in recent days from a manufacturing plant in Belgium to government warehouses in Britain and then to hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fifty hospitals will be administering the shots until the government can refine a plan for delivering them at nursing homes and doctor\u2019s offices. The vaccine must be transported at South Pole-like temperatures before it can be stored for five days in a normal refrigerator, Pfizer has said. First to receive the vaccine will be doctors and nurses, certain people aged 80 and over, and nursing home workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some doctors and nurses have received invitations in recent days to sign up for appointments, with the first shots intended for those at the highest risk of severe illness. The government has indicated that people aged 80 and over who already have visits with doctors scheduled for this week, or who are being discharged from certain hospitals, will also be among the first to receive shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nursing home residents, who were supposed to be the government\u2019s top priority, will be vaccinated in the coming weeks, once health officials start distributing doses beyond hospitals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>with little precedent \u524d\u4f8b\u306e\u306a\u3044<br>an emblem of \uff5e\u306e\u8c61\u5fb4<br>feel privileged \u5149\u6804\u306b\u601d\u3046\u3001\u6075\u307e\u308c\u3066\u3044\u308b<br>fortified \uff5e\u3092\u8981\u585e\u5316\u3059\u308b\u3001\u5f37\u5316\u3059\u308b<br>ailing \u75c5\u6c17\u306e\u3001\u4e0d\u8abf\u306e<br>glimpse \u57a3\u9593\u898b\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3001\u5146\u5019<br>administering \u3008\u85ac\u306a\u3069\u3092\u3009\u4e0e\u3048\u308b\u3001\u6295\u4e0e\u3059\u308b<br>refine a plan \u8a08\u753b\u3092\u7df4\u308b<br>intended for \uff5e\u5411\u304d\u3067\u3042\u308b\u3001\uff5e\u3092\u5bfe\u8c61\u3068\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b<br>being discharged \u9000\u9662\u3059\u308b<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1211\">12\/11(\u91d1)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/110791\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"overflow:hidden\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h5>U.S. and States Say Facebook Illegally Crushed Competition<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aCecilia Kang and Mike Isaac<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 The Federal Trade Commission and more than 40 states accused Facebook on Wednesday of buying up its rivals to illegally squash competition, and they called for the deals to be unwound, escalating regulators\u2019 battle against the biggest tech companies in a way that could remake the social media industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal and state regulators of both parties, who have investigated the company for more than 18 months, said in separate lawsuits that Facebook\u2019s purchases, especially Instagram for $1 billion in 2012 and WhatsApp for $19 billion two years later, eliminated competition that could have one day challenged the company\u2019s dominance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since those deals, Instagram and WhatsApp have skyrocketed in popularity, giving Facebook control over three of the world\u2019s most popular social media and messaging apps. The applications have helped catapult Facebook from a company started in a college dorm room 16 years ago to an internet powerhouse valued at more than $800 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prosecutors said Facebook should break off Instagram and WhatsApp and that new restrictions should apply to the company on future deals, some of the most severe penalties regulators can demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor nearly a decade, Facebook has used its dominance and monopoly power to crush smaller rivals and snuff out competition, all at the expense of everyday users,\u201d said Attorney General Letitia James of New York, a Democrat who led the multistate investigation into the company in parallel with the federal agency, which is overseen by a Republican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawsuits, filed in the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia, underscore the growing bipartisan and international tsunami against Big Tech. Lawmakers and regulators have zeroed in on the grip that Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple maintain on commerce, electronics, social networking, search and online advertising, remaking the nation\u2019s economy. President Donald Trump has argued repeatedly that the tech giants have too much power and influence, and allies of President-elect Joe Biden make similar complaints. The federal case against Facebook is widely expected to continue under Biden\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook said it would vigorously defend itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe most important fact in this case, which the commission does not mention in its 53-page complaint, is that it cleared these acquisitions years ago,\u201d Jennifer Newstead, Facebook\u2019s general counsel, said in a statement. \u201cThe government now wants a do-over, sending a chilling warning to American business that no sale is ever final.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>the
