Coronavirus: the spiraling economic impact
We've all seen the speculation about the coronavirus recently discovered (or should that be unleashed?) in China. The health issues are well-known, and are being very urgently addressed all over the world. What many people haven't thought about (or, at least, not enough) is the economic impact. China is now the world's largest or second-largest manufacturing economy, depending on whose figures you believe. The majority of consumer goods bought and sold around the world come from there - but their production has been almost completely disrupted as quarantines prevent people from c... more »

China's Fake South China Sea Islands Could Become More Trouble Than They're Worth
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* China built them and now must defend them. *Key point: *The islands of the SCS have some military relevance, but are more important as a political claim to waterways and undersea resources. China has built some islands in the South China Sea. Can it protect them? During World War II Japan found that control of islands offered some strategic advantages, but not enough to force the United States to reduce each island individually. Moreover, over time the islands became a strategic liability, as Japan struggled to keep them supplied with food, fuel ... more »

It's Now Racist to Blame Bad Chinese Food Practices for the Coronavirus virus.
I know not the source of the next extinction-level pandemic. I know only this: White people will not be allowed to discuss it because when the truly apocalyptic plague hits, it’ll be because someone in the nonwhite world ate a civet dick or an exotic pustule marinade. And the disease will be seen as the lesser of two evils compared with the racist white folks trying to contain it. There’ll be no way to fight the epidemic without passing judgment on the behavior or customs of nonwhites, and there’ll be no way to contain it without quarantining at least a few people of color.

New Tech Will Disinfect Everything and Help Stop Infectious Diseases
Sounds like a fine mist of hydrogen peroxide solution which is an improvement. Any misting machine would help and using some hydrogen peroxide in the water would be sound. other chemicals are also indicated, but this is certainly the easiest and likely the most efficious.

Visual Scanning of the Chemical Structure of Single Molecules at Angstrom Resolution
We are finally getting there. Now i do wonder what we have also missed. The next twenty years will produce a library of empirical molecule mappings that can be checked against theory in the ultimate confirmation. It is also a reminder how some easily defined problems can take decades address. Real progress is terribly slow with exceptions. My own theoretical work produces a cosmology in which we can access the scale of the neutrino and the electron. Yet empirically we have to use photons produced by neutron based physics and that means the scales simply are way out of sync. ... more »

Yamato vs. Bismarck: Which Mega-Battleship Would Win A Showdown Between Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan?
*Robert Farley* *History, Asia* [image: Japanese battleship Yamato is hit by a bomb near her forward 460mm gun turret, during attacks by U.S. carrier planes as she transited the Sibuyan Sea.] It's more of a plausible scenario than you'd think. *Key Point:* The German squadron has a three-knot speed advantage, which it uses to try to pull away from the Japanese and avoid the engagement. However, the Japanese have a clear geographic advantage; the existence of relatively close bases means that they can station squadrons of older, smaller ships along potential channels of exit.

America's F-16 Falcon Fighters Might Be Perfect For Anti-Drone Missions

The agile F-16 Fighting Falcon is the most numerous jet in military service today—and boasts a superb combat record.
