Kerry Wan/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Like clockwork, a new iPhone has made its way through the rumor mill in August, and users are beginning to wonder if they should buy what's currently available or wait until fall to see how things play out. Based on past trends, there's a good chance Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 series next Tuesday. So, should you pick up an iPhone 16 from your local Apple store today or play the long (but not that long) game? Also: App

Over 80% of sunscreen performed below their labelled efficacy (2020)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-14 02:57:59

The use of effective sunscreen can reduce the harm caused to the skin by ultraviolet rays (UV) and slow down skin aging. The Consumer Council tested 30 models of sunscreen for daily use and over 80% of them were found to perform below their respective labelled efficacy. The measured sunscreen efficacy of 4 models were below SPF15, of which 2 were sunscreen products with very high protection i.e. labelled with SPF50+.

A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry

news.ycombinator.com Kendler 2025-10-14 05:21:55

We first turn to Adolf Meyer, the most influential psychiatrist in the US over the first 3rd of the 20th century [27]. It should be recalled that until World War II, American psychiatry was a rather small profession, largely composed of superintendents of mental hospitals who largely had a biologically orientation to their work. In 1907, while the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Meyer wrote about his concerns of the narrow views that US physicians would typically take in their ap

So is the inside of a tree, it turns out. Earlier this month, a team of scientists published the most comprehensive study of the microbiomes living inside tree trunks. Their findings suggest that the woody tissues of trees contain a trillion microbial cells above and beyond actual tree cells: communities of bacteria and si

The MVC definition has been abused

Smalltalk MVC is defined in Design Pattern as: MVC Consists of three kinds of objects. The Model is the application object, the View is its screen presentation, and the Controller defines the way the user interface reacts to user input. However this definition has been abused over the years - Back in 2003 I gave a talk citing how bad Apple’s definition was.

The Robot Vacuum’s Next Humble Trick: Climbing Stairs

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of. That’s courtesy of a little baby trend at IFA 2025 of robot vacuums slipping into something more climbable—a little caddy that carries them upstairs when it’s time to move floors, then waits to carry them back down when they’re done. The first one we encountered was the Eufy MarsWalker. Then, it turned out that Dreame had one, too, using almost the exact same approach, only it’s weirdly much scarier-looking. Both have a s
