news.ycombinator.com Institute Of Allergy 2026-03-16 06:13:54

With traditional control methods facing mounting resistance, researchers are seeking innovative ways to combat mosquito-borne disease. Now, entomologists at the University of Maryland have bioengineered a deadly fungus that spreads sexually in Anopheles (malaria-spreading) mosquitoes.

If you’re traveling to Paris in the near future, there is some bad news and some good news. The bad news: you likely won’t be able to see the Mona Lisa or any of the masterpieces hanging inside the Louvre, because it’s currently shut down. The good news: You’ll get to see a strong labor movement at work. On Monday, staff at the world’s most-visited museum went on strike, forcing the museum to close its doors over concerns about the effects of mass tourism, according to the Associated Press. The

This robot vacuum and mop was already a bargain, but a 56% discount makes it better

ZDNET's key takeaways The Yeedi M12 Pro+ was first available for $1,100, but it's now available with a limited-time deal for $669. The Yeedi performs like a high-end, two-in-one robot, with 11,000Pa of suction power, roller brush technology to prevent hair tangles, and a self-washing station. Unfortunately, I had to make virtual boundaries around my medium-pile area rug as the mop pads repeatedly got the soft surface wet, even though they lift 9mm when over carpets. $399.98 at Amazon The Yeed

And it looks like we can add a few more products to the list today, including a MAGA Instant Pot, if you can believe it.

Quantum upgrade makes random number generation fully traceable

Trust, but verify: Random number generation is a serious matter in modern computing.
