Best Compression Socks for 2025

cnet.com Amanda Capritto 2025-06-18 00:03:00

Many compression socks look basic and utilitarian, but some companies make business-casual or whimsical styles, too. Consider what material and length would be most comfortable for you. Mild to moderate compression is enough for most daily needs, but you may need firmer compression for recovery, varicose veins or other uses. One of the most common ways to avoid leg pain from cramps and reduce fluid buildup for athletes and people with circulation issues is to wear compression stockings. These

As the Kernel Turns: Rust in Linux saga reaches the “Linus in all-caps” phase

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-17 21:55:11

Rust, a modern and notably more memory-safe language than C, once seemed like it was on a steady, calm, and gradual approach into the Linux kernel. In 2021, Linux kernel leaders, like founder and leader Linus Torvalds himself, were impressed with the language but had a "wait and see" approach. Rust for Linux gained supporters and momentum, and in October 2022, Torvalds approved a pull request adding support for Rust code in the kernel. By late 2024, however, Rust enthusiasts were frustrated wi

Under new bill, Bigfoot could become California’s “official cryptid”

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-06-18 00:01:35

You might suspect that a one-line bill about Bigfoot that bears the number "666" is a joke, but AB-666 is apparently a serious offering from California Assemblymember Chris Rogers. Rogers represents a California district known for its Bigfoot sightings (or "sightings," depending on your persuasion—many of these have been faked), and he wants to make Bigfoot the "official cryptid" of the state. His bill notes that California already has many official symbols, including the golden poppy (official

wired.com David Cox 2025-06-17 22:26:30

After a lifetime on the frontiers of the fight against HIV, Linda-Gail Bekker could finally see the end of the epidemic in sight. For decades, HIV experts had dreamed of an elusive vaccine to block the ongoing chain of infections, which still sees more than 1 million people worldwide contract the virus annually. Bekker, a 62-year-old medical professor from the University of Cape Town, had helped identify a drug that could do just that. But now, thanks to the Trump administration’s executive ord

But doctors are generally allowed to practice medicine only where they have a license. This means they cannot treat patients across state lines unless they also have a license in the patient’s state, and most physicians have one or two licenses at most.
