news.ycombinator.com Simon Goodley 2026-03-02 21:11:15

A second major academic institution has accused Uber of using opaque computer code to dramatically increase its profits at the expense of the ride-hailing app’s drivers and passengers. Research by academics at New York’s Columbia Business School concluded that the Silicon Valley company had implemented “algorithmic price discrimination” that had raised “rider fares and cut driver pay on billions of … trips, systematically, selectively, and opaquely”.

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2026-03-02 21:05:53

We’re a month away from the arrival of the next Marvel movie in Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Marvel is reminding us in style with a brand new trailer—one that really wants you to feel the stakes that are riding on this movie, in more ways than one. Prior looks at First Steps leaned into the Silver Age retro-kitsch of its world, and then the arrival of Julia Garner’s Silver Surfer to herald the threat of the dread, Galactus. But now this final big trailer for the film really wants to remind

The economics behind "Basic Economy" – A masterclass in price discrimination

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-03 17:55:53

Basic Economy fares are ultra-restricted airline tickets that offer a lower base price in exchange for fewer benefits than standard economy class. Introduced by major U.S. carriers in the 2010s, these fares have become a widespread strategy for market segmentation - a textbook example of price discrimination in practice. By design, Basic Economy compels travelers to self-select based on their willingness to pay and tolerate restrictions, thus allowing airlines to maximize revenue from different
