Electric Cooler vs. Ice Cooler: I Camped With Anker's Solix EverFrost 2 and an RTIC Ice Box to See Which Is Better

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-07-24 03:00:00

Keeping drinks and food cold while camping can be a challenge, especially in the summer. Though a portable power station hooked up to a minifridge can help, it's not the most power-efficient option compared with either an electric cooler or a traditional icebox. I set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler -- specifically, RTIC's icebox -- against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see how it would fare in real-world use against the best coolers on the market. To begin testing, I picked up tw

The death of partying in the USA

news.ycombinator.com Derek Thompson 2025-08-08 00:43:43

In January, The Atlantic's Ellen Cushing published an essay with an admirably blunt title: “Americans Need to Party More.” Burrowing into the appendix tables of the American Time Use Survey, she unearthed the fact that just 4.1 percent of Americans said they “attended or hosted” a party or ceremony on a typical weekend or holiday in 2023. In other words, in any given weekend, just one in 25 US households had plans to attend a social event. The ATUS is a government questionnaire that asks a larg

How often is the query plan optimal?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-14 10:19:27

The basic promise of a query optimizer is that it picks the “optimal” query plan. But there’s a catch - the plan selection relies on cost estimates, calculated from selectivity estimates and cost of basic resources (I/O, CPU, …). So the question is, how often do we actually pick the “fastest” plan? And the truth is we actually make mistakes quite often. Consider the following chart, with durations of a simple SELECT query with a range condition. The condition is varied to match different fracti

Identities of More Than 80 Americans Stolen for North Korean IT Worker Scams

wired.com Andy Greenberg 2025-08-25 21:00:39

For years, the North Korean government has found a burgeoning source of sanctions-evading revenue by tasking its citizens with secretly applying for remote tech jobs in the West. A newly revealed takedown operation by American law enforcement makes clear just how much of the infrastructure used to pull off those schemes has been based in the United States—and just how many Americans' identities were stolen by the North Korean impersonators to carry them out. On Monday, the Department of Justice

Few Americans pay for news when they encounter paywalls

news.ycombinator.com Emily Tomasik 2025-09-03 07:46:38

Compilation of major news outlets’ paywalls prompting readers to become paid subscribers to view their content. (Pew Research Center collage) Newspaper revenue has been in decline for decades, and most Americans now prefer to get news from digital devices. In this environment, many news organizations – and not just newspapers – put paywalls on their websites or apps, blocking access to articles or other content unless news consumers pay or subscribe. The vast majority of Americans (83%) say th

Electric Cooler vs. Ice Cooler: I Went Camping With Both to See Which Is Better

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-22 04:57:00

I've observed that the electrification of any product brings with it a higher price for interested buyers. Case in point, everything from cars to bikes to coolers, once electrified, costs a lot more than their legacy counterparts. With that said, the benefits of a tool powered by electricity can't be understated. With that said, if you're planning camping trips this summer and need a new cooler, I've set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see ho

24 Best Flavors of AriZona's Iconic Iced Tea (2025)

wired.com Pete Cottell 2025-09-23 13:09:00

The internet loves to wax poetic about the eternal virtue of Costco’s $1.50 hot-dog-and-soft drink special, but where’s the love for AriZona’s 99-cent tallboys? Aside from a brief gag in a 2016 episode of Atlanta, very little fanfare is given to this under-costed dynamo of flavor and refreshment. Thirsty folks from all socioeconomic strata instantly recognize the colorful 23.5-ounce cans in their local bodega, and most flavors can still be found for 99 cents (plus applicable taxes and deposit fe

cnbc.com Lora Kolodny 2025-09-23 19:27:24

Elon Musk, during a news conference with President Donald Trump on May 30, 2025 inside the Oval Office at the White House in Washington. Elon Musk's official role in the Trump administration recently came to an end. Many Republicans won't be sad to see less of him, according to the results of Quinnipiac University's latest public opinion survey. While a majority of Republicans still hold a favorable view of Musk, the number fell to 62% in the poll out Wednesday, down from 78% in March, Quinnip
