One of Tigris's standout capabilities is its performance when storing and retrieving small objects. To quantify this advantage, we benchmarked Tigris against two popular object stores—AWS S3 and Cloudflare R2—and found that Tigris consistently delivers higher throughput and lower latency. These gains let you use a single store for everything from tiny payloads to multi-gigabyte blobs without sacrificing efficiency.

The fight over science funding: Congress vs. the OMB

The Project 2025 document outlined additional ideas, such as the elimination of scientific research at the EPA, something that has since occurred. It also suggests that finding solutions to climate change is part of a "partisan political agenda." So, its hostility to scientific findings extended well beyond the biomedical fields.

A renovation project in Turkey led to the discovery of a lost city (2023)

We live cheek by jowl with undiscovered worlds. Sometimes the barriers that separate us are thick, sometimes they’re thin, and sometimes they’re breached. That’s when a wardrobe turns into a portal to Narnia, a rabbit hole leads to Wonderland, and a Raquel Welch poster is all that separates a prison cell from the tunnel to freedom.

How much do electric car batteries degrade?

Most electric cars have the same types of batteries — usually lithium-ion — so the assumption is that they degrade just as quickly. This is a fairly common fear for people considering a new EV: “Won’t the battery need to be replaced after a few years?”.
