失业生An Attack on Democracy, From Racial Voter Suppression to Invalidating Elections Altogether_我的网站
A | In 1963, just as Martin Luther King Jr. and the other “Big Six” civil rights leaders were in the final stages of planning the March on Washington, my mother, Sybil Haydel Morial, incorporated the Louisiana League of Good Government, a nonprofit created to help African Americans overcome deterrents to voting such as literacy tests. She’d been banned from joining the Louisiana branch of the League of Women Voters because of her race. “That shut door was an epiphany for me,” she wrote in her memoir, “Witness to Change: From Jim Crow to Political Empowerment.” Rather than be deterred, she devoted herself to preparing Black New Orleanians for Louisiana’s nearly-impossible literacy test. Registrars – who were all white – had wide latitude in determining who passed or failed such tests, and they used their authority to fail most Black applicants, thereby keeping them from voting. Ironically, one of the tests required applicants to read the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, intended to “establish Justice” and “secure the Blessings of Liberty,” in the words of the Founding Fathers who authored them nearly two centuries earlier. But in Louisiana, in 1963, justice and liberty still were reserved mostly for white people. On the very day that civil rights activist Medgar Evers was gunned down in his own driveway in Jackson, Mississippi, in June of 1963, my mother picked up the phone to hear, “Morial is going to get what that [racial slur] in Mississippi got.” We had been receiving threatening calls ever since my father, Ernest “Dutch” Morial,” had assumed the presidency of the NAACP in New Orleans (and later the first Black mayor of the city). But after that threatening phone call, my parents took extra precautions: My father would blast his car horn when he pulled up to the house each night, and my mother would flash the carport light several times, all to scare off would-be assassins. The voting rights struggle of my parents’ generation was a steep uphill climb, but as the years went by, they saw barrier after barrier fall, from the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision (where the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional) to the Civil Rights Act to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Now, 60 years after the March on Washington, we are seeing many of those same barriers – and new ones – rise up once again. My parents fought Jim Crow, who used bogus literacy tests and threats of violence to keep Black Americans from the voting booth. By the time I assumed leadership of the National Urban League in 2003, our adversary was James Crow, Esq., who used racial gerrymandering to dilute the political voices of Black Americans. Today, we are battling Jimmy Crow, who wants to disregard the results of elections entirely. The current assault on voting rights is a direct response to the rising influence of the Black vote since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. As we noted in last year’s State of Black America report, which was subtitled “Under Siege: The Plot to Destroy Democracy,” an anti-democracy wave began to rise after record-high Black voting rates in 2008 and crested with the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in Shelby County v. Holder to gut the Voting Rights Act. Now, that wave has broken against “The Big Lie,” the relentless campaign to invalidate the free, fair and validated results of the 2020 election. Those who marched in 1963 were fighting for their right to participate in democracy. Those who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, were fighting to obliterate democracy. So far, in 2023 alone, state lawmakers have introduced at least 323 bills to restrict the vote in 45 states. At least 13 of these bills, in 11 states, have passed into law. Even more alarming is the rise of election interference legislation, which would allow partisan interference in the election process. At least 78 bills have been introduced this year in 20 states that would make it easier to, for example, criminally prosecute election officials for simply doing their jobs, set up bogus partisan “review” procedures, or prohibit the use of machines to count ballots for any election. At least four states already have passed such laws. The campaign to exclude Black Americans from the democratic process is gradually being supplanted with a campaign to eliminate the democratic process altogether. Earlier this summer, with its decision in Moore v. Harper, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the “independent state legislature theory” that extremists have pushed in order to give state legislatures free rein to gerrymander electoral maps and suppress voters of color – and to give cover to their sinister efforts to overturn elections. Still, the court’s decision is unlikely to deter these extremists, who are intent on returning a man to the White House who faces numerous indictments for attempting to invalidate the results of the 2020 election. If those forces succeed, the two-century moral arc that has bent slowly, if unevenly, toward universal suffrage could come to an end. 。1月11日,英特尔在今年的CES上展示了一个10纳米以下的新技术蓝图,包括冰湖、湖景、3D堆叠微型主板等新产品。今天英特尔的官员已经详细阐述了这一点。我们来看看。
B | 冰湖,一个基于阳光湾架构的新处理器,首次在CES上亮相。
C | 我们可以在发射场展示的参考设计笔记本上看到新技术带来的变化。由于阳光湾微结构和10nm工艺,冰湖将改善其性能。同时,冰湖集成的11代GPU在性能上突破了1次大关。Lakefield Lakefield是一款采用“大小核”设计的处理器,在功率控制和灵活性方面具有优异的性能。Lakefield使用一个10纳米混合CPU架构,一个大核和四个小核。
D | 大核心采用SunnyCove微架构,0.5MB缓存。四个小内核共享1.5MB的二级缓存,具有更节能的架构,这使得使用内核的策略更加灵活,从而降低了功耗。官员们说,对Lakefield来说,整合和维护它的小规模并不容易,不管它是五核还是其他许多模块。使用Foveros 3D封装技术,Lakefield的尺寸只有12毫米x 12毫米,其参考主板只有5.2美分长。
E | 此外,Wi-Fi 6将成为新平台的无线连接标准,理论带宽高达9.6 Gbps。在未来,5G调制解调器也可能被集成。在会议上,英特尔还指出,3D堆叠的小主板下层具有典型的南桥功能,如I/O连接,并由22FFL工艺制造。上层是一个10nm的CPU,有一个大的计算核心和四个小的“效率”核心,类似于大的。
F | 手臂的小处理器。英特尔称之为“混合x86架构”。8K视频剪辑在英特尔的宣传视频中,一位美丽的女士在海边用专用相机创作,相机图片左下角写着“8K未压缩”。在随后的拍摄中,摄影师用笔记本电脑,完成了海滩上的视频剪辑,完成剪辑后,笔记本电脑的电池电量仍为95%。最后,通过5G/Wi-Fi 6网络,她立即将剪辑后的视频同步到四个社交网站。从英特尔的宣传中,我们可以看到英特尔的移动10nm处理器已经能够处理8K视频片段。关于新产品的推出时间,英特尔在CES大会上表示,今年将推出10nm冰湖,并表示公司计划在“2019年假日(圣诞节)”销售期间大量进入市场。现在,英特尔中国也表示,该计划吸引了许多合作伙伴,预计将在今年下半年推出。
