What Kendrick Lamar’s Pulitzer Means for Hip-Hop
The
rapper Kendrick Lamar’s historic milestone—becoming the first hip-hop
artist to win a Pulitzer Prize for music—figures in the grander,
affected consecration of blackness within élite spaces.
In 2015, the journal Royal Society Open
Science published a witty evolutionary history of pop music, based on the
Billboard Hot 100 chart from 1960 to 2010, in which the authors treated
elements like timbre, chord, and speech as if they were impressions on a
fossil, and genre as if it were a living, evolving organism. “We identified
three revolutions: a major one around 1991 and two smaller ones around 1964 and
1983,” the report says. 1964 corresponds to the coalescing of rock and soul,
and the peak in 1983 accords with the rise of synth pop and New Wave and the
kaleidoscopic fadeout of disco and funk. 1991 signals the dominance of hip-hop
and its medium, rap. In an interview with BBC, the head researcher, Matthias
Mauch, said, referring to the homogeneity of arena rock in the late eighties,
“I think that hip-hop saved the charts.”
Tech Firms to Pledge Not to Assist Governments in Cyberattacks
“This has become a much bigger problem, and I
think what we have learned in the past few years is that we need to
work together in much bigger ways,” said Brad Smith, the president of
Microsoft, who was largely behind the effort to create a “Cybersecurity
Tech Accord.”
WASHINGTON
— More than 30 high-tech companies, led by Microsoft and Facebook, plan
to announce a set of principles on Tuesday that include a declaration
that they will not help any government — including that of the United
States — mount cyberattacks against “innocent civilians and enterprises
from anywhere,” reflecting Silicon Valley’s effort to separate itself
from government cyberwarfare.
The
principles, which have been circulating among senior executives in the
tech industry for weeks, also commit the companies to come to the aid of
any nation on the receiving end of such attacks, whether the motive for
the attack is “criminal or geopolitical.” Although the list of firms
agreeing to the accord is lengthy, several companies have declined to
sign on at least for now, including Google, Apple and Amazon.
Perhaps
as important, none of the signers come from the countries viewed as
most responsible for what Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, called in
an interview “the devastating attacks of the past year.” Those came
chiefly from Russia, North Korea, Iran and, to a lesser degree, China.
On Monday, American and British officials issued a first-of-its-kind joint warning
about years of cyberattacks emanating from Russia, aimed not only at
businesses and utilities but, in some cases, individuals and small
enterprises. The warning was only the latest in a series about Russian
threats to elections and electoral systems.
The impetus for the effort came largely from Mr. Smith, who has been
arguing for several years that the world needs a “digital Geneva
Convention” that sets norms of behavior for cyberspace just as the
Geneva Conventions set rules for the conduct of war in the physical
world. Although there was some progress in setting basic norms of
behavior in cyberspace through a United Nations-organized group of
experts several years ago, the movement has since faltered.
Mr.
Smith said over the weekend that the first move needed to come from the
American companies that often find themselves acting as the “first
responders” when cyberattacks hit their customers. “This has become a
much bigger problem, and I think what we have learned in the past few
years is that we need to work together in much bigger ways,” Mr. Smith
said in an interview. “We need to approach this in a principled way, and
if we expect to get governments to do that, we have to start with some
principles ourselves.”
Microsoft played a central role in trying to extinguish the WannaCry attack last year that struck the British health care system
and companies around the world. The Trump administration, along with
several other Western governments, later blamed that attack on North
Korea. Last summer the NotPetya attack struck Ukraine, crippling systems
throughout the country. Iran is suspected in a recent attack on a Saudi
petrochemical plant.
Yet
not all governments are likely to embrace the “Cybersecurity Tech
Accord” in part because the principles it espouses can run headlong into
their own, usually secret efforts to develop cyberweapons.
When Russia’s intelligence agencies obtained some of the National
Security Agency’s secrets about its own cyberweapons, it appeared to do
so by manipulating a virus protection program sold by Kaspersky,
a Russian firm. The company said it knew nothing about the intrusion
into its products, but American officials do not believe the denials and
have banned Kaspersky products from United States government systems.
Kaspersky is not a signer to the new accord.
Edward
J. Snowden, the former N.S.A. contractor who leaked documents about
surveillance programs, revealed pictures suggesting that American
officials intercepted some hardware that came out of Cisco Systems, a
major manufacturer of the routers and switches that make up the spine of
the internet, apparently so the equipment directed traffic back to
American intelligence agencies. There is no evidence that Cisco
cooperated, but the publication of the photos led some foreign customers
to believe that American equipment had been broadly compromised by the
N.S.A.
Cisco
is one of the firms that has signed the accord. Mark Chandler, Cisco’s
general counsel, said the company believed that “we need to say we will
not be part of any effort that will undermine the security of the web,
or undermine those who depend on it — our customers.” Among the other
signatories were Dell, Juniper Systems — both parts of the
recently-split Hewlett-Packard — Symantec and FireEye. Two foreign
firms, Telephonica of Spain and Nokia of Finland, also signed. There are
no Chinese or Russian companies on the list of initial signatories.
The
new technology accord vows that the 31 signers “will protect against
tampering with and exploitation of technology products and services
during their development, design, distribution and use.” Among the
companies that signed are Oracle, Symantec, FireEye and HP, along with
the Finnish company Nokia and the Spanish company Telefónica.
Microsoft
officials said they briefed the Trump administration on the new accord
and heard no objections. But that may not mean much: Mr. Trump’s
homeland security adviser, Thomas P. Bossert, who oversaw cybersecurity
policy, was dismissed last week after John R. Bolton took over as national security adviser.
The
cybersecurity coordinator at the White House, Rob Joyce, is widely
rumored to be considering leaving his post and returning to the National
Security Agency, where he ran the most elite of the cyberforces that
attack foreign networks. If Mr. Joyce departs, the White House will have
lost its two most senior, and most knowledgeable, cybersecurity
policymakers in the span of a few weeks.
Trump Scraps New Sanctions Against Russia, Overruling Advisers
President
Trump boarding Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on
Monday. He has, for now, rejected new sanctions against Russia.
WASHINGTON
— President Trump rejected, for now at least, a fresh round of
sanctions set to be imposed against Russia on Monday, a course change
that underscored the schism between the president and his national
security team.
The president’s
ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R. Haley, had announced on
Sunday that the administration would place sanctions on Russian
companies found to be assisting Syria’s chemical weapons program. The
sanctions were listed on a menu of further government options after an
American-led airstrike on Syria, retaliating against a suspected gas
attack that killed dozens a week earlier.
But the White House contradicted her on Monday, saying that Mr. Trump had not approved additional measures.
“We
are considering additional sanctions on Russia and a decision will be
made in the near future,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press
secretary, said in a statement.
