Bedsure's Bamboo Cooling Sheets Are Silky Soft, Durable, and Cheap

wired.com Julia Forbes 2026-01-19 23:34:00

I’ve met many supposedly “cooling” sheets in my time as a mattress and bedding tester, and I have been disappointed more often than not. A cooling mattress can’t do all the heavy lifting with temperature regulation, and I’ll forever emphasize that your choice of bedding matters just as much—which is why I'm an unapologetic sheet snob. Which brings me to Bedsure, a brand I stumbled across on Amazon in a last-ditch effort to find some decent sheets when mine bit the dust (rather, my dogs bit holes

There are no architect ants in a nest-building project, no sponsors or supervisors, no instructions.

The Moving Assembly Line Turns 100 (2013)

news.ycombinator.com Austin Weber 2026-01-22 03:23:34

This month marks the official celebration of the world’s first moving assembly line. On Oct. 7, 1913, 140 assemblers stationed along a 150-foot chassis line at a Ford Motor Co. plant just north of Detroit stood in place as the work came to them. With the aid of three-wheeled dollies, chassis were pushed by hand along parallel rails embedded in the floor of the Highland Park plant. Six months earlier, Ford engineers had experimented with a movable line for assembling flywheel magnetos, a key com

While IVF is increasingly commonplace in wealthy countries—around 12% of all births in Spain result from such procedures—it remains expensive and isn’t always covered by insurance or national health providers. And it’s even less accessible in low-income countries—especially for people who live in rural areas.

On StackExchange, someone asks why programmers talk about “calling” a function. Several possible allusions spring to mind: Calling a function is like calling on a friend — we go, we stay a while, we come back. Calling a function is like calling for a servant — a summoning to perform a task. Calling a function is like making a phone call — we ask a question and get an answer from outside ourselves.
