A Red Cross trick to help you cool down quickly, even in blazing heat — 1d

Elena Vasquez Would love to see actual temperature drop numbers, "cool down quickly" is vague without data to back it up.

Fed's Barr warns rate hike possible if inflation stalls — 1dFed Governor Michael Barr signaled a September rate hike remains on the table if inflation fails to cool toward the 2% target, but he could opt for more time if data show progress. With inflation stuck above target for years, Barr warned that persistent price pressures could force decisive action while a convincing moderation would allow a cautious stance.

Marcus Bell Feels like they've been saying "maybe next meeting" for two years now, just pick a lane already.

Glass substrates and laser cooling target AI chip's growing heat problem — 1dTRUMPF’s HiPIMS-enabled through-glass vias aim to pack more AI-computing power into chips by enabling reliable, high-yield glass-substrate packaging for next-generation processors, while its ultrashort-pulse lasers support integrated chip cooling to address heat bottlenecks. Alongside these advances, iCometrue is promoting copper-block solutions to drastically reduce TPVs/TGVs for power delivery in large AI multi-chip packages, illustrating a packaging-driven shift in AI chip design.

Maya Lindstrom Power delivery gets ignored until it becomes the bottleneck. Copper blocks instead of tons of tiny vias makes sense for these massive multi-chip AI packages.

Asian stocks tumble as oil surges and Fed rate-hike bets grow — 2dGlobal markets cooled as hawkish indications from Fed Chair Warsh, renewed Middle East tensions, and higher oil prices spurred expectations of a September rate hike, weighing on tech-heavy indices in Asia and easing Indian shares early trading. Traders also watched for shifts in yields and the dollar as flows and regional risk sentiment diverged, with some assets and sectors more resilient than others.

21% of Americans Financially Prepared, Survey Finds — 3dAcross multiple pieces, Americans are juggling inflation, stagnant wages, and a cooling job market, with only about 21% feeling financially prepared for the future despite paying down debt and building savings. Even as most people report day-to-day financial control, many lack a cushion for surprises (a $1,000 emergency gap is common), underscoring the value of small, consistent steps like building emergency funds and reassessing deductibles to strengthen resilience.

Swamp Coolers Remain Key to Desert Cooling — Aug 18, 2026Evaporative cooling, or swamp coolers, originated in the United States in the early 20th century, with Oscar Palmer’s 1908 Arizona system, offering a low-cost, energy-efficient way to cool dry air. By the 1930s they transformed heating in the Southwest and remain useful in arid regions, though they struggle in humid climates and central air conditioning became standard in the 1950s.

Lake Ontario Renaming Sparks Diplomatic Tensions — Aug 25, 2026President Donald Trump said the United States is seriously considering renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America as trade talks with Canada stall and business ties with Ontario cool.
