ICE逮捕人数激增与Meta对Instagram/Facebook的重大调整
中文翻译： 从《纽约时报》的新闻头条来看，我是特雷西·穆姆福德。今天是8月27日星期四。以下是我们关注的内容。关于全国ICE（移民及海关执法局）逮捕人数的新数据显示，今年夏天，特朗普政府大幅加强了其大规模驱逐行动。6月份，ICE逮捕人数达到43,000人。7月份，这个数字激增到49,000人，创下了历史新高。随着移民局官员拘留那些在以前政府管理下未被优先驱逐的人，这些数字一直在上升。这包括与美国公民结婚的人以及合法入境并正在寻求庇护的人。尽管国土安全部一再表示他们专注于拘留，但数据显示，他们正越来越多地针对没有犯罪记录的人。例如，7月份，拥有暴力犯罪判决的被捕者的比例降至4%以下。这份数据由一个学术小组通过公开记录诉讼获取，并由《纽约时报》分析，涵盖了8月5日之前所有的ICE逮捕事件。数据显示，在几乎所有州，逮捕人数都接近历史最高水平。然而，这种激增在佛罗里达州和德克萨斯州最为明显，这两个州拥有大量无证移民，同时也支持政府强硬手段的官员。除了逮捕之外，其他数据显示驱逐航班的数量也在增加。根据一个人权组织的追踪工作，上个月至少有329架驱逐航班离开了美国，这是又一个记录。一位前ICE官员告诉《纽约时报》，总的来说，该机构现在拥有更多的资金、更多的拘留空间、更多的当地合作伙伴和更好的系统。他补充说：“他们终于把所有拼图都拼凑起来，来建立这个驱逐机器。”国土安全部的一位发言人表示，政府正在兑现其逮捕和驱逐罪犯的承诺，任何非法在国境的人都是目标。

From The New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today is Thursday, August 27th. Here's what we're covering. New data on ICE arrests around the country shows how this summer, the Trump administration has dramatically stepped up its mass deportation campaign. In June, ICE arrests hit 43,000. In July, that surged to 49,000, hitting record highs. The numbers have been rising as agents have detained people who weren't prioritized for deportation under previous administrations. That's included people married to US citizens and people who had entered the country legally and were pursuing an asylum claim. While the Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly said it's focused on detaining, quote, the worst of the worst, the data shows agents are increasingly targeting people with no criminal record. In July, for example, the share of those arrested who had a violent criminal conviction fell to less than 4%. The data, which was obtained by an academic group through a public records lawsuit and analyzed by the Times, covered all ICE arrests through August 5th. And it shows that they are nearing an all-time high in almost every state. The surge is most pronounced, though, in Florida and Texas, two states with a large number of unauthorized immigrants and officials who support the administration's crackdown. Beyond arrests, other data shows that the number of deportation flights is picking up, too. According to a tracking effort run by a human rights group, at least 329 deportation flights left the country last month, another record. One former ICE official told the Times that overall, the agency now has, quote, more money, more detention space, more local partners, and better systems." Adding quote, "They're finally putting all the pieces together to build out this deportation machine." A spokesperson for DHS said the administration was keeping its promises to arrest and deport criminals, and that anyone in the country illegally is a target.科技巨头Meta的里程碑式和商业策略
中文翻译： 科技巨头Meta昨天就达成了一项里程碑式的和解协议，涉及其因让社交媒体平台成瘾而危及儿童的指控。我们今天回顾这一天，将是那些孩子们可以不受限制地接触到旨在让他们成瘾并让他们暴露于严重精神伤害的产品，以及那些战斗结束的日子。本质上，在宣布和解协议时，代表47个州的官员表示，该公司已同意支付高达170亿美元的罚款，并对它的Facebook和Instagram平台进行重大更改。Meta同意对年轻用户实施每日2小时的时间限制，在学校时间期间静音通知，并中断无休止的滚动。Meta在过去十几年里一直与这种限制进行“牙尖对尖”的斗争。因此，看到他们以某种方式同意这一点并就某些方面屈服，确实说明了他们对案件进展的感受。我的同事迈克·艾萨克为《纽约时报》报道硅谷。他提到新和解协议的一个值得注意的一点是，在其中，Meta正试图确保其他社交媒体公司也必须支付罚款并对其产品进行更改。根据协议，Meta表示，如果像Snap、TikTok和YouTube这样的公司也就州提出的类似诉讼达成和解，它将支付更多款项并对使用其平台的儿童施加更严格的时间限制。迈克说，Meta的论点是，如果所有公司都加入，孩子们会更安全。但其核心也是一种商业策略，即通过限制竞争对手来保持其领先地位。我可以说，让Meta、Facebook和Instagram在过去二十多年中保持领先地位的关键之一，是马克·扎克伯格持续的痴迷，即让新的年轻人不断涌入应用。如果像TikTok或YouTube这样的其他公司能够继续他们一直做的事情，并让人们从很小的时候就回来，这对他们来说将处于巨大的劣势。这就是为什么我认为扎克伯格真正试图确保，到今天为止，如果Meta不再能依靠其在将人们重新吸引到其应用方面的优势，那么任何其他公司都不能做到这一点。目前，这项和解解决了针对Meta的一起最大的案件之一。在新闻报道该协议后，该公司的股价上涨。但Meta仍然面临着许多其他关于其产品安全的诉讼，这些诉讼可能在今年秋季就进入审判阶段。

Yesterday, the tech giant Meta agreed to a landmark settlement over claims it endangered children by making social media platforms addictive. We will look back on today as the beginning of the end of the battle days when children had unfettered access to products designed to addict them and expose them to serious mental harm. Essentially, in announcing the settlement, officials representing 47 states said the company had agreed to pay up to $17 billion in penalties and to make major changes to its platforms, Facebook and Instagram. Meta agreed to put in place a 2-hour daily time limit for young users, to silence notifications during school hours, and to interrupt endless scrolling. Meta has fought restrictions like this tooth and nail for the better part of the past decade. And so, to see them kind of agree to this and capitulate in some ways really is telling of how they felt their case was going. My colleague Mike Isaac covers Silicon Valley for the Times. He says one thing that's notable about the new settlement is that in it, Meta is trying to make sure that other social media companies also have to pay penalties and make changes to their products. Under the deal, Meta says it will pay more and impose stricter time limits on kids using its platforms if companies like Snap, TikTok, and YouTube also settle similar lawsuits that states have brought against them. Mike says Meta's argument is that kids will be safer if all companies get on board. But, at its core, this is also a business strategy of keeping its competitors in check. One of the things I would say that's really key to Meta and Facebook and Instagram being on top for more than two decades was this constant obsession, specifically from Mark Zuckerberg, keeping new young people coming into the app. And that puts them at a great disadvantage if other companies like, say, TikTok or YouTube are able to basically continue what they've been doing all along and and keep people coming back from an early age. And so, that's why I think Zuckerberg is really trying to secure for himself this idea that as of today, if Meta's no longer able to lean on some of its advantages on how to bring people back into its app in the future, no other company should be able to do that, either. For now, this settlement resolves one of the biggest cases against Meta. And following news of the deal, the company's stock price went up. But, Meta is still facing a number of other lawsuits over the safety of its products that could go to trial as soon as this fall.尼泊尔洪水灾难与科学突破
中文翻译： 在尼泊尔，搜救工作正在进行中，在昨天一场猛烈的洪水冲刷了喜马拉雅山谷后，仍有超过一千人失踪。到今天早晨，官方死亡人数已超过250人，预计还会上升。昨天下午早些时候，我们看到了关于这场破坏的画面。只是愤怒的泥水倾泻而下，冲走了社区。特别是尼泊尔和西藏之间的这个边境口岸的画面，看起来非常可怕。水流吞噬一切的方式，在人们试图为自己逃生的时候，显得如此。我们很快就清楚地意识到，这是一场大规模的破坏。穆吉布·马沙尔为《纽约时报》报道南亚。他说，洪水卷走了汽车和公交车，冲垮了建筑物，摧毁了学校、道路和桥梁。他说，整个村庄现在都覆盖着厚厚的泥巴。由于大部分通信线路被切断，我们无法从地面感受到救援的快慢，但我们听到在最初的几个小时里，直升机和军人正在赶来提供帮助。即使在今天，我们拼凑出的画面也是来自官员收集的非常零散的信息，以及我们从当地消息来源那里听到的情况。穆吉布说，科学家和地质学家仍在努力确定是什么引发了这场突如其来的洪水，但一些人说，卫星图像表明，它是由一块巨大的冰体触发的，可能宽2000英尺，它断裂了一片冰川并滚落数千英尺到山谷中。在过程中，冰川崩塌将其自身 pulverized 成一股快速移动的冰和岩石的弹幕，将它路径上的所有东西都碾碎了。专家表示，现在还为将冰川崩塌与气候变化直接联系起来太早，但暖气可能加速了冰川的崩塌。2021年，另一块喜马拉雅冰川断裂，导致印度北部有超过100人死亡。昨天，食品药品监督管理局批准了一种针对晚期胰腺癌的突破性新药，它可能为各种其他癌症的治疗带来新时代。胰腺癌长期以来被认为是医学中最不抱希望的疾病之一，只有3%的患者在癌症扩散后能活5年。它每年杀死超过5万美国人。到目前为止，痛苦的化疗轮番是癌症的主要治疗手段，尽管它对人们的寿命几乎没有延长作用。今年早些时候，当科学家展示了关于名为deruxtecan ravasab的新药的关键临床试验数据，显示它将患者的中位生存时间从不到7个月延长到超过13个月时，会场爆发了热烈的掌声。许多肿瘤学家长期以来都认为他们永远不会看到这类结果，现场的一些观众甚至因喜悦而落泪。这种药每天服用一次，通过关闭一种名为KRAS的突变蛋白来发挥作用，这种蛋白是几乎所有胰腺癌的驱动力。由于KRAS也驱动许多肺癌和结直肠癌以及其他肿瘤的生长，因此有希望类似类型的药物也能对抗这些疾病。最后，今天我们用两个真正超凡的艺术家的回忆来结束。

In Nepal, search and rescue efforts are underway with more than a thousand people still missing after a violent flood surged through a valley in the Himalayas yesterday. As of early this morning, the official death toll had already crossed more than 250, and it's expected to rise. By early afternoon yesterday, we saw these images coming in of the devastation. Just angry mud water gushing down, washing away neighborhoods. This one image in particular, of this border crossing between Nepal and Tibet on the China side, just seems horrific. The way the water just consumes everything as people are trying to run away for their lives. So, pretty quickly it became clear to us that this is devastation of massive scale. Mujib Mashal covers South Asia for the Times. He says the flood swept up cars and buses and smashed through buildings, taking out schools, roads, bridges. He says entire villages are now covered in thick mud. Much of the area the communication lines have been cut off, so we don't have a sense from the ground of how quickly help reached, but we are hearing that in the initial hours, helicopters and military personnel were on their way trying to help out. And even today, the picture we're piecing together is from very patchy information that officials are gathering, and we're hearing from sources on the ground. Mujib says scientists and geologists are still trying to pinpoint what exactly set off the sudden flood, but some say that satellite imagery suggests it was triggered by an enormous chunk of ice, possibly 2,000 ft wide, that snapped off a glacier and tumbled thousands of feet down into the valley. Along the way, the avalanche pulverized itself into a fast-moving barrage of ice and rock that crushed everything in its path. Experts say it's too early to draw a direct link between the ice fall and climate change, but that warming temperatures may have accelerated the glacier's collapse. In 2021, a piece of another Himalayan glacier broke off, causing major flooding and killing more than 100 people in northern India. Yesterday, the Food and Drug Administration approved a breakthrough new drug for advanced pancreatic cancer, and it could help usher in a new era of treatments for a wide range of other cancers. Pancreatic cancer has long been considered one of the most hopeless diseases in medicine, with just 3% of patients whose cancer has spread living for 5 years after their diagnosis. It kills more than 50,000 Americans a year. Until now, grueling rounds of chemo have been the main treatment for the cancer, even though it barely extends people's life spans. Earlier this year, when scientists presented key clinical trial data showing that the new drug, called deruxtecan ravasab, doubled the median survival time for patients from less than 7 months to more than 13, the room burst into a standing ovation. Many oncologists had long thought they'd never see these kinds of results, and some in the audience even broke down into tears of joy, according to people in the room. The drug, which is taken by a pill twice a day, works by shutting down a mutated protein called KRAS that fuels nearly all pancreatic cancers. And since KRAS also helps drive many lung and colon cancers, as well as other tumors, there is hope that similar types of medicines could be effective against those diseases, too. And finally, closing out today with two remembrances of truly out-there artists.艺术家的逝世与科技安全
中文翻译： 不要太紧张。本周，演员蒂姆·柯里因80岁去世，他为自己的表演带来了怪诞、古怪、眨眼、有时狡猾、有时邪恶的特质。他最出名的是在《洛奇恐怖秀》中扮演穿女装的疯狂科学家弗兰克·纳福特，这部电影至今仍让人们在午夜放映会上起舞。他还将他那深沉的声音和天生的眉毛带到了百老汇和好莱坞的许多其他角色中。我们正在努力找出是谁杀了他，以及在哪里，以及用什么手段。不需要大喊。我不是在喊。他的线索是完美。还有谁能同时扮演《它》里的小丑和《小猪佩奇宝藏岛》里的小丑？柯里在经历了一次导致他说话困难的中风后，在过去十年里，他大部分时间都处于聚光灯之外。但他去年出版了一本回忆录《流浪者》，并坚持亲自录制有声书，让人们能听到真正的他。此外，由波卡点偏好使她成为艺术界偶像的优衣库（Yayoi Kusama）已于97岁去世。十几岁时，她入学艺术学校，这对二战后保守的日本女性来说是一个极其不寻常的举动。然后她沉浸在超现实主义和先锋艺术中。到60年代，她开始在日常物品上缝制数千个填充的布料人偶，如扶手椅、大衣、小船。后来，搬到美国后，她利用她的艺术来抗议越南战争，让志愿者在公共场合赤裸上身，她用波点为他们的身体上画满了波点。最近，我的天哪。这有点令人迷失方向。这看起来会一直持续下去，一直持续下去。她开始创造覆盖着点和灯光的镜面反射空间。这太酷了。所谓的无限房间，你的倒影似乎会永远持续下去。这些装置在世界各地的博物馆都成了奇观。我刚了解到关于优衣库事业的一件事是，当她考虑搬到美国时，她决定向她所认识的唯一一位美国女性艺术家寻求建议。于是她通过美国大使馆追踪了乔治·奥克菲夫的地址并写信给她。奥克菲夫很鼓励，所以优衣库登上了飞机。这些就是头条。今天，更多是关于Meta突破性的和解，以及它可能因一个面临每个社交媒体公司重大挑战的挑战而变得复杂。你如何检查你用户的实际年龄？孩子们在通过年龄验证工具方面真的非常擅长，而且这甚至不是因为孩子们狡猾。通常情况下，年龄验证只是太容易逾越了。它只是一个简单的下拉框，询问你的年龄。你可以在《纽约时报》App或任何获取播客的地方收听。我是特雷西·穆姆福德。我们明天将回来，带来最新的周五新闻测验。
