Waze vs. Google Maps: Which navigation app is best?

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A quick Google search will surface article after article claiming that Waze is far better than Google Maps. But is that actually true?

Remembrance of Scents Past

news.ycombinator.com Margaret Talbot 2026-01-22 08:03:27

But Marks argues that smell is one of the most potent ways to give museum visitors a visceral sense of the past, and to help them remember what they read or saw in an exhibit. Among the scents she designed for the docks exhibition was one inspired by a woman’s memory, in the oral histories, of her dockworker father’s damp woollen coat drying on an electric fire in the nineteen-sixties. Marks thought that the coat might have smelled like her own grandfather’s wool flat cap. He’d been a London cab

Netflix’s first original series, House of Cards, launched in 2013, and television was never the same.

Colossal Eruption Carves ‘Canyon of Fire’ Onto the Sun’s Surface

On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large filament—cold, dense ribbons of gas suspended above the Sun’s surface—that they spotted days before the explosion.

Researchers Solve 130-Year-Old Literary Mystery Involving Elves, Wolves, and a Medieval Meme

In 1896, Cambridge scholar and author M. R. James found English verses within a 12th-century Latin sermon in a Peterhouse Cambridge collection. James and another colleague identified the verses as excerpts of a lost romantic poem, dubbing it The Song of Wade. Little did they know that the discovery would trigger almost 130 years of fierce debate over the meaning of the excerpts—a debate that two modern Cambridge scholars may have finally put to rest.
