Terra CO2 cements $124M Series B to slash concrete’s carbon footprint

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-02-16 11:49:51

Concrete has been around for millennia, but Terra CO2 thinks it has a better way to make the ubiquitous building material, and investors appear to agree. The Golden, Colorado-based startup recently closed a $124.5 million Series B to help bring its low-carbon cement replacement to market. Cement — the stuff that binds aggregate together to form concrete — weighs heavily on the climate. The CO 2 released by the chemical reaction that makes Portland cement, the most common type of cement, and th

ICEBlock, an app for anonymously reporting ICE sightings

news.ycombinator.com Zack Whittaker 2026-02-16 16:26:37

In Brief ICEBlock, an iPhone app that allows users to anonymously report sightings of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, has rocketed to one of the coveted top spots in Apple’s U.S. App Store rankings. The upshot: Criticism from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi helped get it there. Most of ICEBlock’s users — about 20,000 — were in Los Angeles, where ICE raids have become commonplace over recent weeks, according to CNN. Following Bondi’s remarks late Monday, the app went vira

Tesla has posted its second quarter delivery numbers — and they're not looking good. As the New York Times reports, the company reported it had delivered just 384,000 vehicles between April and June, a massive drop from 444,000 vehicles over the same period last year. Meanwhile, CEO Elon Musk has focused his carmaker's resources on developing a robotaxi network of fully autonomous vehicles.

But the new Apple TV 4K launching this fall could be the best chance yet to change that.

These Fast Food Restaurants Hiked Their Prices the Most Last Year

The days of "fast food" being "cheap food" are long gone, and prices seem to always be increasing. We can blame that phenomenon on rising inflation, and while a trip to a McDonald's drive-thru is still cheaper than settling in for a meal at your favorite steakhouse, it's far from inexpensive. In fact, prices soared in 2024 as some of the most well-known fast food chains hiked prices to make our favorite treats more costly than ever.

Airport Lounges Are Sexy Again—if You Can Get In

Let’s be honest: A crowded airport lounge without a seat in sight is usually less appealing than an empty gate area. Over the past decade, an influx of travelers with club access has led to overcrowding, long waitlists, and a diminished (read: not luxurious) experience. However, a version of commercial air travel—often hidden from public view and inaccessible to even premium credit cardholders—has emerged.
