Unable to get the U.S. Congress or Mexico to fully fund his border wall, President Donald Trump will post National Guard troops along the Mexican frontier, officials said. (Reuters)

| Consumer tech gets reprieve as U.S., China spar over tariffs Posted: 04 Apr 2018 07:06 AM PDT  The office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) on Tuesday raised the stakes in a growing trade showdown with China, targeting 25 percent tariffs on some 1,300 industrial technology, transport and medical products. China hit back within hours with its own threatened duties on U.S. imports including soybeans, planes, cars, whiskey and chemicals. The U.S. proposed list of $50 billion in tariffs is aimed at forcing Beijing to address what Washington says is deeply entrenched theft of U.S. intellectual property and forced technology transfer from U.S. companies to Chinese competitors through initiatives such as the "Made in China 2025" plan.

| There's a whole meme community that doesn't think Mark Zuckerberg is human Posted: 05 Apr 2018 04:00 AM PDT  There's a whole subreddit poking fun at Mark Zuckerberg's supposed power complex. The Facebook CEO is currently in some hot water for the Cambridge Analytica data mining scandal, and the company has been a PR nightmare as people delete their accounts and flee the social media giant. Overall, there's a pretty universal distrust of Mark Zuckerberg right now. Comment from discussion Zuck memes horribly undervalued.. But a community of Redditors has shared that distrust for a while now — six months ago, Redditor u/SirLotsaLocks created r/ZuckMemes after positive feedback from r/MemeEconomy. According to its description, "Mark Zuckerberg is the human founder of the massive social media website called Facebook." The subreddit, which has just under 19,000 subscribers, mocks Zuckerberg's flowery, sappy posts about how he's just an average guy and instead insists that he's a robot learning to assimilate with humans. Like this post from last July. "If you eat meat, you should know where it comes from," Zuckerberg mused in a live Facebook video. He explained that he challenged himself to be vegetarian for a year unless he was involved in killing and butchering the animal himself. One of the side effects, he said, was that he got really into preparing meats himself, which is how we were blessed with this nice chat with Zuckerberg while he smoked meats in his backyard. In the livestream, Zuckerberg answered questions from commenters, discusses revolutionizing education, charmingly tried to convince his wife Priscilla to join him in the video. In the r/zuckmemes take, Zuckerberg enjoys "charring meat inside of an unpressurized vessel behind my domicile." "Once the animal carcass reaches a temperature sufficient to destroy bacteria and viruses that would pose a threat to my empire," the fake post says, "I will consume the flesh to replenish my stores of energy." In this Zuck meme, the Facebook CEO attempts to order from a food truck. "The animal's flesh was warm." How could he not be a human? Look at him eat normal toast, like a normal human! (Turn your volume up to hear the very human sound effects.) Both of these clips were modified from a video in which Zuck, aka Zucc, showed off his home named AI Jarvis. But the weirdness of the original video was ripe for the Zuck meme community. The memes also make fun of Zuckerberg's "profound" posts about interacting with underrepresented groups, like this one. Last year, Zuckerberg sat down for dinner with a group of Somali refugees in Minneapolis and wrote a poignant post about the meaning of home. "I left impressed by your strength and resilience to build a new life in an unfamiliar place," his caption said, "And you are a powerful reminder of why this country is so great." The Redditors who frequent r/zuckmemes don't see his posts as a sentimental reflection on the real meaning of America. They joke about Zuckerberg's need for power trips. In the highest rated post on r/zuckmemes, the robotic Zuck bullies an elderly Alabaman editor into eating an entire newspaper, threatening to buy out the Selma Times-Journal and turn it into an "anime fanzine." "For 43 minutes I had total power over that man," the fake posts says. "I'd never felt more alive. I bet that's what being president feels like." According to r/zuckmemes, Zuckerberg has a wild god complex. This fake Elon Musk posts talks about both tech billionaires' idea of a fun activity. For Musk, it's a jetpack paint ball fight with "Don't Stop Believing" playing in the background. For Zuckerberg, it was paying off a man's student loans in exchange for beating him. There's even a handy guide to creating Zuck memes, which involves editing Facebook in HTML to make realistic looking posts from the CEO himself. r/zuckmemes peaked in popularity about six months ago, but since the Cambridge Analytica scandal happened, people have been straying away from the usual meme format to joke about Facebook's privacy breaches. Will the god-king Mark Zuckerberg ever learn to assimilate with humans? Or will he always be a secret lizard person? Although there were rumors that Zuckerberg was seeing a behavioral therapist to appear more human, take it with a grain of salt. The Facebook CEO hasn't publicly spoken about the memes or about his public persona. Until then, Zuckerberg will continue to be the lizard robot human philanthropist, innovator and family man he says he is. r/zuckmemes, though, will for sure be keeping an eye on him.

| US F-16 crashes near Las Vegas, third crash in two days Posted: 04 Apr 2018 03:43 PM PDT  An American F-16 fighter jet crashed on Wednesday near Las Vegas, the third US military aircraft crash in two days. "An Air Force F-16 assigned to Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, crashed at approximately 10.30 am during routine training on the Nevada Test and Training Range," the Air Force said in a statement. "The condition of the pilot is not known at this time," it said. The crash followed two others the day before. In California, a Marine Corps CH-53E helicopter crashed with four crew aboard. A United States Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion Helicopter like that which crashed in California, sits at North Island Naval Air Station Coronado Credit: Louis Nastro/Reuters "The status of all four is presumed dead pending positive identification," the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing said. And in Djibouti, a Marine AV-8B Harrier jet crashed after the pilot ejected during takeoff. "Doctors said the pilot was in stable condition," US Naval Forces Central Command said. US Defense Department chief James Mattis secured a record budget last month for the Pentagon, which will allow investments that have been on hold for several years, including in the Navy, which is overstretched in foreign theaters, and the Air Force, which suffers rapid pilot turnover due to more lucrative private sector options.

| Virgin Galactic completes first powered flight since fatal crash in 2014 Posted: 05 Apr 2018 11:02 AM PDT  Virgin Galactic has completed its first powered flight since a fatal crash nearly four years, a milestone which Sir Richard Branson said brought space 'tantalisingly close.' The company has struggled to re-establish itself following the death of co-pilot Michael Alsbury, 39, who was killed when his aircraft crashed into the Mojave Desert in California in October 2014. Virgin Galactic had promised to send space tourists to the edge of Earth's atmosphere where they could see the curvature of the planet and experience weightlessness. But after Captain Alsbury's death, some customers who had already bought tickets demanded refunds, and the company spent years redesigning the craft, carrying out extensive engine testing and glide tests before attempting another supersonic flight. Virgin Galactic's Unity aircraft completed its first powered flight in the Mojave desert Credit: Virgin Galactic On Thursday the Unity spacecraft took up with a two member crew from the Mojave Air and Space port, lifted by the jet-powered mothership Eve. It then powered up for 30 seconds and landed safely. It puts Britain firmly back in the commercial tourism and launch provider space race, which until recently the US appeared to be winning. Branson said Virgin Galactic was 'back on track' and confirmed that the flight had reached Mach 1.6, more than 1.5 times the speed of sound. Announcing the success on Twitter, he added: "Data review to come, then on to the next flight. Space feels tantalisingly close now." The entire project has been dogged with problems. Two of the six flights made by SpaceShipOne suffered potentially catastrophic problems. And in 2007, an explosion killed three engineers. It is the first time Virgin Galactic has completed a power flight since the death of Captain Michael Alsbury in October 2014 Credit: Virgin Galactic Before the accident, Virgin Galactic said the first space tourism flights would begin in the Spring of 2015. Even in the November following the crash CEO George Whitesides said it would be 'months not years' until commercial flights began, but an investigation found there had been inadequate safety features and the team was forced to go back to the drawing board, unveiling a new design in 2016. Around 24 passengers pulled out and have had the $250,000 (£157,000) ticket price refunded. Although some may only have paid deposits, the company stands to lose more than £3 million in lost sales. High profile ticket-holders include Angelina Jolie, Kate Winslet and, until his death Stephen Hawking. In October, Virgin Galactic was given a huge $1 billion boost from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At the time, Branson said the company was just months away from sending a ship into Earth's atmosphere. Following the flight Virgin Galactic tweeted: "Touch down. Congratulations Mark "Forger" Stucky and Dave Mackay for a great milestone test flight"
