cnbc.com Arjun Kharpal 2025-10-27 05:06:52

Alibaba posted a better-than-expected bottom line in the June quarter fueled by accelerated sales at its cloud computing unit and a continued revival of its e-commerce business. Still, the Chinese giant's revenues came in under analyst forecasts. Alibaba's stock was up around 4% in premarket trade in the U.S. after initially dipping. Here's how Alibaba did in its fiscal first quarter ended June, compared with LSEG estimates: Revenue : 247.65 billion Chinese yuan ($34.6 billion), versus 252.9

The Wild, Citywide Scavenger Hunt That Ate San Francisco

On a Wednesday night in August, hundreds of people gathered in the lobby of Apple Cinemas in central San Francisco. To gain admission to the event, attendees had to say a secret code word to the crew working the door: three giggling children wearing oversize “SECURITY” caps. The throng inside hunted for QR codes on the walls and admired a makeshift art gallery that showcased a collection of paintings, each referencing a famous historical work—Vermeer’s Girl With a Pearl Earring, Munch’s The Scr

A forgotten medieval fruit with a vulgar name (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-26 16:34:31

Medieval Europeans were fanatical about a strange fruit that could only be eaten rotten. Then it was forgotten altogether. Why did they love it so much? And why did it disappear? In 2011, archaeologists found something unusual in a Roman toilet. The team were excavating the ancient village of Tasgetium (now Eschenz, Switzerland), ruled by a Celtic king who was personally given the land by Julius Caesar. It was built on the banks of the river Rhine, along what was then an important trade route

Spiders Hijack Fireflies to Create Devious Glowing Death Traps

Fireflies glow to attract mates. As new research shows, however, a certain species of spider has learned to take advantage of this luminous natural phenomenon. In a Journal of Animal Ecology paper published August 27, ecologists report that the sheetweb spider (Psechrus clavis) appears to exploit firefly luminescence to attract more prey. Observational analysis and lab experiments revealed that, by using firefly light as bait, the nocturnal predators improved their hunting success. This is the
