First up, in China, what’s called “Single’s Day” is drawing to a close. It’s a new-ish celebration that is to single people what Mother’s Day is to mother’s. But it’s now morphed into the day people go online to buy things, often with their office computer. China’s Alibaba said sales broke through $8 billion so far today in an orgy of commerce that, if you do the math, dwarfs America’s so-called Black Friday. And tech products could soon travel across borders with less baggage as a result of the first major cut in international tariffs in 17 years, and it affects a range of technology products from MRI medical scanners to video games. More on that. Plus, it’s Veterans Day in the U.S. and this summer marked 100 years since the outbreak of hostilities that became what was then called The Great War. To commemorate Britain’s lost lives, an artist has staged a powerful installation at the Tower of London. It’s really popular, and lucrative for veterans’ charities.
