engadget.com Unknown 2025-08-01 16:39:24

As is tradition, Google has already shown off at least one of its new Pixel phones before it's announced. The front page of the Google Store currently features a short video teasing one of the Pixel 10 smartphones the company is announcing on August 20. If you take the webpage literally, then Google's video is showing off the base Pixel 10, which has a similar look to the Pixel 9, with some key differences. Those include a new grayish-blue finish, a tweaked back design that makes the back of th

A new movie inevitably means new tie-in food, especially at a theme park operated by a studio hoping to cash in on its latest release. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters this week and is therefore in its prime time for this kind of marketing.

Google has an event next month to officially launch the Pixel 10 series, but the leaks have been coming fast and furious beforehand. There won't be much left to learn on August 20, particularly now that Google has revealed the phone.

Scarcity, Inventory, and Inequity: A Deep Dive into Airline Fare Buckets

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-01 20:31:43

Airline pricing may seem mystifying, but behind every airfare is a complex system of fare buckets and inventory controls. Airlines don't just sell seats - they manage a dynamic inventory of fares, divided into booking classes (fare buckets) with different prices and rules. For the technically curious, understanding how fare buckets work reveals the "source code" of airline revenue management. This report delves into the hierarchy of booking classes, how airlines update seat availability across r

The Ending of ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Changed Weeks Before Release

Filmmakers love to tinker with their movies until the last possible second. A nip here, a tweak there, change the sound, the levels, etc. But, eventually, the studios need a finished movie so it can be sent to theaters, screened for press, etc. This week’s new horror film, I Know What You Did Last Summer, had tinkering too, but it was even closer to release and more impactful to the story than most other movies.

Improving End-to-End Tests to Reduce Flakiness: Tools and Strategies

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-07-29 12:16:32

There’s nothing worse than a test suite that fails randomly. Flaky end-to-end (E2E) tests erode confidence, slow down releases, and lead developers to ignore legitimate failures. If your team starts using the term “CI roulette,” it’s time to act. Flaky tests are fixable—but it takes visibility, discipline, and the right tooling. What Is a Flaky Test?

What Will Become of the CIA?

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades.

The affordability crisis affecting the US automobile market shows little signs of abating.

Superman stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor and David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie isn't an origin story; it picks up when Superman is already well-known (and moments after he loses any fight-winning streak he previously had). I won't provide any more details
