Now that iOS 26 is available for everyone, iPhone users are breaking off into two camps. One is open to Apple’s new look for its entire product ecosystem, dubbed “Liquid Glass” for the translucent “glassmorphic” UI. As is so typical of the internet, the other side of the coin is livid about the change to their devices. Hold off on jumping the gun and retreating back to iOS 18.

Europe wants to turn Digital Euro (CBDC) into a stablecoin

news.ycombinator.com Anton Golub 2025-09-30 09:45:34

Europe had first-mover advantage with stablecoins. Then killed stablecoins with regulatory madness: - No yield - €200M/day issuance cap - 60% reserves stuck in weak EU banks Outcome? € stablecoins = $500 million USD stablecoins = $265 billion That’s 500x difference! Tether exited EU. Circle pivoted to USDC. No one wants to build on broken rails. Now ECB wants to “tokenize” Digital Euro on-chain.

The unbearable sameness of Liquid Glass

theverge.com David Pierce 2025-09-30 17:07:08

Liquid Glass is a neat party trick. The new design system, which was built for nearly all of Apple’s products and is rolling out this week, is built on the idea that interfaces should be three-dimensional: in the world of Liquid Glass, buttons and menus sit on top of whatever you’re doing or looking at, changing color and refracting digital light like they’re physical objects. It’s meant to feel like glass does in the real world. It’s visually very impressive, and it all kind of works! You insta

iOS 26 officially launches today, but some developers aren’t sure it should

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-01 12:20:08

Today is the day that iOS 26 finally emerges from beta and is officially launched. The headline feature is of course the Liquid Glass look, which has proved almost as controversial as the minimalist look of iOS 7 back in 2013. Apple has made some pretty substantial changes to the look of the operating system after beta testers complained about poor legibility and confusing design elements. Even so, some developers are not at all convinced that Liquid Glass is ready to be unleashed … Wired’s Cr

Scientists unlock secret to thick, stable beer foams

For many beer lovers, a nice thick head of foam is one of life's pure pleasures, and the longer that foam lasts, the better the beer-drinking experience. A team of Swiss researchers spent seven years studying why some beer foams last longer than others and found that the degree of fermentation—i.e., whether a given beer has been singly, doubly, or triply fermented—is crucial, according to a new paper published in the journal Physics of Fluids. As previously reported, foams are ubiquitous in eve

A new proposal tackles this question for water—arguably one of the most important factors in the search for alien life.
