So-called ‘5G’ technology (you can forget the fake 5G that AT&T is peddling) would appear to be still a work in progress, although when it actually arrives it ought to prove well worth having. My iPhone 6+ will last me for another year or two, looks like.

Scott’s assumption in the bolded sentence is clear: You should hate The Highwaymen” because of its perceived reactionary ideology (and…unsympathetic attitude to mass murderers, apparently).
The transition of the New York Times from general newspaper to Voice of the Crust is rather disappointing. It’s also economically stupid, because there is less and less demand for a Dead Tree edition of what people can get for free (or close to it) from CNN and MSNBC.

A study published by the Center for Advanced Defense has determined that the Russia security services are using a cutting-edge new technique, presumably to protect President Putin – as well as several government buildings in Russia, and military facilities in Syria – from drone attacks.
Perhaps it’s just his magnetic personality.

If NATO were a person, it would be five years past retirement age. In fact, as Ron Paul notes, NATO should have retired back in the early 1990s when its reason for existence – the Warsaw Pact – ceased to exist. Instead, new missions had to be created and new enemies had to be made to justify the massive behemoth that provides lush jobs for the well-connected and vast fortunes for the weapons makers.
Does anybody seriously believe that if the U.S. and Russia got into a shooting war, any European country would jump in on our side? Seriously?

The company’s strained relations with Seattle became very public last year, when the City Council passed a head tax that would have cost Amazon and other large companies about $275 per employee, per year, for the next five years.
The council quickly rescinded the tax after Amazon and other businesses protested, but Amazon soon after signaled it was abandoning earlier plans to occupy all 722,000 square feet of office space in the mammoth Rainier Square skyscraper under construction in Seattle. Instead, Amazon is subleasing the space to other businesses.
When asked if he’d push for a head tax for Amazon and other tech firms in Bellevue, Chelminiak said, “We are not planning any head tax in Bellevue.”

Man is an animal who gets lost in his own ideas, rosy abstractions obscuring the hard realities he’d do better to behold. Consider multiculturalism, that mad fantasy. Different groups, we are to believe, can all flourish together provided they work hard, follow the law, be good neighbors, and so forth. In actual practice, multiculturalism is a huge liability, and in our country today it is white liberals who most demonstrate this.

Even though CNN’s slogan these days is “Facts First,” the liberal network apparently doesn’t check all the facts about its national security “experts” and their connections to Qatar, a terror-funding Islamist nation in western Asia. As a result, viewers may be unaware of the analysts’ financial and institutional links to that country in the Middle East. Those relationships often extend beyond their on-air appearances and raise the possibility of conflict of interest when discussing such countries as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Oh, say it ain’t so….

According to this Professor of Sociology at Northwestern University, it’s all Republicans’ fault.
No doubt things would be easier if you just gave the government all of your money and waited for your allowance to be returned.
What she doesn’t mention, of course, perhaps because Math Is Hard, is that a lot of the complexity in the tax code was (and is) caused by Democrat attempts to use it as a stick to beat people and activities that they don’t like, as well as corrupt favors rendered by Democrat politicians.

Dutch maritime investigators searching for missing containers washed overboard during a North Sea storm have accidentally stumbled on a 16th-century shipwreck, the oldest such a find to date, officials revealed on Wednesday.
The wreck was discovered during a search for missing containers from the Panama-registered MSC Zoe, which lost almost 350 containers while battling a heavy storm in early January.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen described Tuesday how human smugglers are operating “child recycling rings” to thwart U.S. Customs and Border Protection, as The Daily Caller reported in March.
…
“We’ve broken up child recycling rings — if you can believe it — in the last couple of months, which is where smugglers pick up a child, they give it to adults to present themselves as a family once they get over — because, as you know, we can only hold families for 20 days — they send the child back and bring the child back with another family. Another fake family.”

Every other organism on Earth relies on a quartet of genetic bases: A (adenine), C (cytosine), T (thymine) and G (guanine). These fit together in pairs inside a double-stranded DNA molecule, A matching T and C, G. But in 2014 Dr Romesberg announced that he had synthesised a new, unnatural, base pair, dubbed X and Y, and slipped them into the genome of E. coli as well.
Kept supplied with sufficient quantities of X and Y, the new cells faithfully replicated the enhanced DNA—and, crucially, their descendants continued to do so, too. Since then, Dr Romesberg and his colleagues have been encouraging their new, “semisynthetic” cells to use the expanded alphabet to make proteins that could not previously have existed, and which might have properties that are both novel and useful. Now they think they have found one. In collaboration with a spin-off firm called Synthorx, they hope to create a less toxic and more effective version of a cancer drug called interleukin-2.

Steve Sailer looks at the Party of Hate.
The recent upsurge among white liberals of their quasi-religious belief that racial differences in average behavior can’t possibly be real—“the Great Awokening”—is on a collision course with the routine workings of the criminal justice system, which finds that, say, blacks are several dozen times more homicidal per capita than are Asians.
When reality meets ideology, reality tends to win out … which is not to say that ideology can’t make the result even uglier than it needs to be.

This a followup on Wadge’s Law
Every Computer Science course has a tendency to degenerate into a programming course.
This just begs to be generalized.
What about programming courses? Do they degenerate? To what?
For example, according to language teachers I’ve talked to, every, say, French course has a tendency to degenerate into a grammar course. What about other subjects?
My daughter, who teaches Chemistry, says that Chemistry courses (not hers, I assume) can degenerate into math courses. Apparently, it’s the same for other ‘hard’ sciences. Every now and then I walk through the Physics building and look at the posted assignment solutions. Calculus.
Change and decay in all around I see—
