Yet more evidence of our under-incarceration problem
(Paul Mirengoff) We've written from time to time about America's under-incarceration problem — the fact that criminals whose records clearly show they should be in jail are instead free and on the streets committing violent crimes, including some very bloody, high-profile ones. Here's the latest example. Two brothers have been charged with the murder of 32-year-old Nykea Aldridge in Chicago. Aldridge, the cousin of basketball star Dwayne Wade, was shot to death

How connected cars are turning into revenue-generating machines
History repeats herself, but she mumbles. Most of the time we can only in retrospect discern what she was trying to say. Sometimes, though, history's intent is clear. That's where we stand with the state of connected cars: History is repeating itself. There is a correspondence in the patterns of disruption when you compare the future of connected cars to the past of the… Read More

Of EpiPens and Weasels
(John Hinderaker) Mylan NV has been taking a lot of abuse for sharply raising the price of its popular EpiPen. The Wall Street Journal explains the background on the price increase. It isn't, as I would have assumed, a case of patent protection. The patent on epinephrine ran out years ago. Rather, it turns out that keeping the anti-allergy dose sterile is difficult and expensive. Mylan's competitors have had a hard time

Retooling AI for the workplace
Given the massive chunk of our lives spent at work, shouldn't we enjoy the tools we need to use for our jobs? Shouldn't they feel more human and delightful, like Amazon's Alexa or some of the other consumer-facing applications we rely on daily? And how much more effective and productive could you be if you had something like TARS or Jarvis helping you with your job? I think… Read More

(John Hinderaker) At the Telegraph, Simon Heffer reviews the condition of Britain's National Health Service after 68 years and finds: "The NHS will simply collapse unless politicians have the courage to reform it." According to Government figures, the £437 million spent in the first year of the NHS's existence in 1948-49 is equivalent to £15 billion today. Yet the UK total spent on the NHS is now £116.4 billion, £101.3 billion of which is spent

Damien Hirst Has It Made
Damien Hirst's wares are exhibited in one room of the National Gallery, a cramped elevator lobby on the bottom floor that leads directly into a gift shop. For anyone else, the placement could be mistaken for an insult; for Hirst, the metaphor fits. Hirst came from humble and troubled beginnings—from the bottom floor of society, so to speak. Early in life he fell in with a bad crowd and had several run-ins with the law, but soon after discovered his talent for showmanship and salesmanship. His professional ascent was meteoric, easily outstripping the young Brits who competed against him for attention in the 1990s. Now the begoggled businessman sits commandingly in the industry C-suite.

Turkey moves against our Kurdish allies; U.S. sides with Turks
(Paul Mirengoff) This past week, Turkey entered the fight in Syria against ISIS to much ballyhoo from the mainstream media. But according to Christoper Caldwell, who quotes the German weekly Der Spiegel, "ISIS is a pretext, the Kurds are the target." Says Caldwell, Turkey's strategic objective is not to "crush" ISIS. It is to crush the most effective part of the anti-ISIS coalition: the Syrian-Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) and People's Protection
