Tens of Thousands Protest Military Rule in Sudan
数万人抗议苏丹军事统治
KHARTOUM, Sudan — Tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets in Sudan’s capital and elsewhere in the country on Sunday calling for civilian rule nearly three months after the army forced out long-ruling autocrat Omar al-Bashir.
苏丹喀土穆——周日，数万名抗议者走上苏丹首都和其他地方的街头，呼吁实行文官统治。近三个月前，苏丹军队驱逐了长期统治苏丹的独裁者奥马尔·巴希尔(Omar al-Bashir)。
The demonstrations came amid a weekslong standoff between the ruling military council and protest leaders. Talks between the two sides over a power-sharing agreement collapsed earlier this month when security forces violently broke up a protest camp in Khartoum.
示威活动发生在执政的军事委员会和抗议领导人之间长达一周的对峙之中。本月早些时候，安全部队暴力驱散了喀土穆的一个抗议营地，双方就权力分享协议进行的谈判破裂。
The ensuing clampdown killed at least 128 people cross the county, according to protest organizers. Authorities say the toll was 61, including three security forces.
据抗议组织者称，随后的镇压行动导致全县至少128人死亡。当局说，死亡人数为61人，其中包括三名安全部队人员。
The marches, the first since the June 3 crackdown, also mark the 30th anniversary of the Islamist-backed coup that brought al-Bashir to power in 1989, toppling Sudan’s last elected government. The military removed al-Bashir in April amid mass protests against his rule.
这是自6月3日镇压以来的首次游行，也是伊斯兰主义者支持的政变30周年纪念。1989年，巴希尔通过政变上台，推翻了苏丹上一届民选政府。 今年4月，在反对巴希尔统治的大规模抗议活动中，巴希尔被军方赶下台。

Bitcoin plunges $3,000 in less than 24 hours, showing its volatility once again
比特币在不到24小时内暴跌3000美元，再次显示其波动性
The world’s most widely traded cryptocurrency dropped to a low of $10,373.75 Thursday morning — a roughly $3,000 drop from where it was trading Wednesday. The plunge began at the same time as an outage on popular bitcoin trading platform Coinbase.
这种全球交易最广泛的加密货币周四上午跌至10373.75美元的低点，较周三的交易价格下跌了大约3000美元。比特币交易平台 Coinbase 的宕机同时开始暴跌
Analysts say a key driver behind the price whiplash is too much leverage, or borrowing money to make a cryptocurrency trade.
分析师表示，价格上涨背后的一个关键驱动因素是过多的杠杆作用，或者说是借钱进行加密货币交易

Second U.S. city passes ban on facial recognition tech
美国第二个城市通过面部识别技术禁令
A second U.S. city is banning its municipal government from ever using facial recognition technologies over fears it'll pave the way for mass surveillance.
美国第二个城市禁止市政府使用人脸识别技术，因为担心这会为大规模监控铺平道路。
On Thursday, the city council of Somerville, Massachusetts voted 11-0 to pass the anti-facial recognition ordinance, which calls out the technology for its potential to "chill" protected free speech.
周四，马萨诸塞州萨莫维尔市议会以11比0的投票结果通过了反面部识别条例，该条例称这项技术有潜力"冷却"受保护的言论自由。
"The broad application of face surveillance in public spaces is the functional equivalent of requiring every person to carry and display a personal photo identification card at all times," reads the ordinance.
"在公共场所广泛应用面部监控功能相当于要求每个人随时携带和展示个人照片身分证,"该条例写道。
The ordinance also points to how facial recognition technologies can misidentify people, particularly women and non-whites. The ordinance adds that "many of the databases to which face surveillance technology is applied are plagued by racial and other biases, which generate copycat biases in face surveillance data."
该法令还指出，面部识别技术可能会误识别人，尤其是女性和非白种人。该法令补充说,"许多使用面部监控技术的数据库都存在种族和其他偏见，这些偏见会在面部监控数据中产生模仿性偏见。"
