Myriah Q. hasn’t stopped moving since the moment I entered the bar. She’s got patrons seated on the sidewalk and the backyard areas, and she is pacing between opposite ends of the venue to keep up with the happy hour rush.

The duo replied “In our heads, he was [always] able to wield it.”

Bernie Sanders wants Walt Disney Co. to reallocate box office profits from Avengers: Endgame to pay all its employees “a middle-class wage.” Sanders shared his viewpoint on Twitter, writing, “What would be truly heroic is if Disney used its profits from Avengers to pay all of its workers a middle-class wage, instead of paying its CEO Bob Iger $65.6 million—over 1,400 times as much as the average worker at Disney makes,” and linked to a Bloomberg News story about Disney’s stock soarin...

On 26 March, the European commission published a recommendation designed to ensure the security of Europe’s 5G networks. You could be forgiven for having missed it, given that it was announced in what could hardly have been described as a “quiet EU news period”.

Samsung may have launched five phones already, but it still has one more big handset left to release. The successor to the Note 9, which is assumed to be called the Note 10, is expected sometime this year, and rumors about the device are already popping up.

Since Spain opened the first 3-D–printed pedestrian bridge in 2016, the push for printed architecture seems to be accelerating. Shanghai inaugurated the world’s longest printed concrete bridge in January, and the first-ever printed steel span is set to cross a canal in Amsterdam this year. Beyond bridges, the first 3-D–printed homes available to rent—five bulbous buildings in the Dutch city of Eindhoven—should hit the market by this summer.
