Inside China’s controversial mission to reinvent the internet Whereas today’s internet is owned by everyone and no one, they were in the process of building something very different — a new infrastructure that could put power back in the hands of nation states, instead of individuals. ........

Governments everywhere seem to agree that today’s model of internet governance — essentially, lawless self-regulation by private, mostly American companies — is broken. ........ Despite the might of today’s internet, it has no regulator; instead, power is largely held by a handful of US corporations — Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook. This lack of central oversight is the very thing that has allowed technologists to transform how we communicate and live but it has also enabled deep fractures in our social order, including the manipulation of public dialogue, the disruption of democracy and the rise of online surveillance....... many experts see the internet as a civic space that requires better public hygiene. Governments — whether democratic or authoritarian — are tired of being shut out and are agitating for more influence online.........

Rather than a unified world wide web, citizens could be forced to connect to a patchwork of national internets, each with its own rules — a concept known in China as cyber sovereignty. ........ The advent of 5G — a much higher bandwidth network which will serve as the digital spine for a more automated world — has led to rising concern that products developed by Huawei will be built with “back doors” for spies in Beijing........ “New IP aims to provide new IP technology solutions that can support . . . future applications such as Internet of Everything, holographic communications, and telemedicine.

So, of course, they want to keep that power,” he says. “We are scared of Chinese repression. We are making caricatures of the Chinese in a borderline imperialist-racist way.

What both the left and the right get wrong about the coronavirus economic crisis Financial historian Adam Tooze on the lessons policymakers need to learn, and fast....... This is a very different sort of economic crisis than 2008, and if we can’t see it for what it is —
if we refight the last crisis, rather than this one — we will fail.
........ locked in past arguments .... The job is maintaining the economy on life support during a period of an artificially induced coma while we address the public health challenge. ...... The ultimate perversity is that their inability to imagine a future will not enable them to return to the pre-crisis situation. If people were to take Trump’s words literally and act on them, the result would be some apocalyptic mess on the scale of Iran, not Italy. ....... You have to move precisely in order to stabilize the situation. If we don’t, what we’re headed toward is unspeakable mass death and huge economic losses. ....... China is the dog that hasn’t barked in this crisis so far because of the success of [its] conservative strategy. There has not been a big movement in the Chinese exchange rate and very little action on the Chinese balance of payments. ......... Rising fury between the two largest economies during a crisis of this scale seems like a very dangerous situation. .......... the Trump administration is such a headless chicken, that there isn’t even a concerted nationalist pushback against the global stabilization efforts being pursued by the Federal Reserve and the International Monetary Fund. ....... the disarticulation of levels of power in the US government is such that you can have people pursuing security policy in one corner and you can have people pursuing global stabilization of the global financial system in another corner. And then you have the clown car performance in the White House. Sometimes, of course, these things interfere, but by the standards of the great Marshall Plan era, where all of the elements lined up, American power is grotesquely incoherent at this point. .......... in ’07-’08, the truly egregious bailouts were being delivered to the people who engineered the leverage and reaped the rewards that generated the crisis............. Three million people have lost their jobs in a week. And they’re not losing them in the big companies. They’re losing them in the thousands and thousands of small- and medium-size enterprises. We don’t really have a good model for doing stimulus for them. ....... The left wants reformist change and the right wants to allow the market process to operate unencumbered. Both of them, I think, are operating with a kind of unrealistic understanding of the nature of this crisis. If we’re looking at as many as 10 million jobs lost in a matter of months, these arguments go out the window and the argument for preservation of what we can still preserve becomes absolutely overriding. .......the reality we’re facing, which is a scaled-up version of what we’re seeing in the hospitals of northern Italy.
........ in two weeks’ time, when the hospitals of DC and the hospitals of New York are running over and they are triaging thousands of people every day.Coronavirus: I'm in lockdown with my abuser "How many days will be like this?" he'd shouted, throwing a bottle of the spirit he'd been drinking against the wall.

coronavirus has put women in danger.
It was only a few months since Kai had started therapy for the years of physical and sexual abuse she had experienced with her father. She says he had abused her since she was a toddler. She still hadn't confided the full extent of the abuse to her mother and sister. ...... It was early days, but Kai says the therapy was helping her and she felt more in control. She was feeling more hopeful for the future. ....... "He's here the whole time," she whispers, "during the day he watches TV on his computer in the living room. At night I hear him watching porn." ..... She knows he's awake when she hears him making his breakfast smoothie. "I hate it so much, it's so loud, the sound of the blender petrifies me. It's the start of my day, when I have to be vigilant."Google uses location data to show which places are complying with stay-at-home orders — and which aren’t

Trump, the “wartime president” just said, “We’re a backup.”

Remember when Franklin Roosevelt said “We’re a backup” and states have to win WW2.
Here is Captain Crozier walking away from his ship while sailors chant his name after he was relieved from duty for blowing the whistle on a coronavirus contamination aboard the USS Roosevelt.

This virus will roll across the country like a slow moving hurricane.
— Andrew Cuomo (@NYGovCuomo) April 3, 2020
No state can stand alone. We need to jointly rush in and help where the need is.
I believe our nation will come together because it’s the only way to save lives.
Finally we can all rest easy. The man who brought peace to the Middle East, and conquered the Opioid Crisis is taking on the most deadly virus in our lifetime. I for one am breathing a sigh of relief.
