In defense of air-conditioning

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-07-23 06:00:00

We should all be aware of the growing electricity toll of air-conditioning, but the AC hate is misplaced. Yes, AC is energy intensive, but so is heating our homes, something that’s rarely decried in the same way that cooling is. Both are tools for comfort and, more important, for safety. So why is air-conditioning cast as such a villain? In the last days of June and the first few days of July, temperatures hit record highs across Europe. Over 2,300 deaths during that period were attributed to t

Show HN: Ten years of running every day, visualized

news.ycombinator.com No Days Off 2025-07-26 17:21:13

I didn't start running until I was in my late twenties, and even so I would end up in a pattern where I'd get motivated and go on a couple of runs, take a few days off, go on another run the following week, and next thing you know it's been a month since I last run. Rinse and repeat. In July 2015, something changed. I headed out on a run on a Tuesday, then did another one the next day, and the day after, and… I took the Friday off. When I woke up on July 11, 2015 I remember thinking I could hav

When is the best time to book your flight? Google Search has spilled its airfare secrets

Newark’s air traffic outages were just the tip of the iceberg

theverge.com Darryl Campbell 2025-08-19 06:00:00

On June 2nd, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy traveled to Newark Liberty International Airport to celebrate the reopening of runway 4L-22R. This was unusual: few runway openings are glamorous enough to warrant a visit from the airport’s CEO, let alone a cabinet secretary. But as we reported last month, few airports have come to symbolize USDOT’s mismanagement of the air traffic control system as much as Newark.

Someone got iOS running on a Nintendo Switch, because why not?

While more than 3.5 million people have spent the last couple of weeks glued to a brand-new Nintendo Switch 2, X user PatRyk (@Patrosi73) decided to invest their time elsewhere: trying to run iOS on the original Nintendo Switch. And they did it! Sort of. According to PatRyk, they spent two full days working on a way to run a full build of iOS inside QEMU, an open-source machine emulator and virtualizer that can simulate entirely different hardware architectures in software.

That Fresh Chicken Doesn't Keep in the Fridge as Long as You Think

I'm a big fan of using meat delivery services to have the fixings for dinner delivered right to my door. Getting fresh chicken has made figuring out what to cook up on week nights easier, but I don't always eat everything, and often use the leftovers for lunches. However, I know chicken doesn't have a long shelf life, even after cooking. I recently realized that I might have been flirting with food poisoning by eating chicken that started to turn.
