When is the best time to book your flight? Google just revealed its airfare secrets

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-03-02 08:00:13

Alexander Spatari/Getty Images The last time I booked a vacation flight, I literally spent over an hour finding the cheapest ticket to Hawaii with two criteria in mind: that it wasn't a red-eye flight, and it only had one layover. At least one layover was to be expected (at LAX) because Kentucky is a long way from the Aloha State. I could've saved some time, though -- and money -- had I known what Google's recent report revealed. Also: 7 gadgets I recommend for travel as a digital nomad What

Requiem for a Solar Plant The email landed like a brick through a plate glass window. "...requiring reconductoring of 1.71 miles at a cost of $795,150...limiting output to 3MW..." I stared at my laptop screen, the blue light illuminating the shadows under my eyes in my darkened California living room. Outside, endless February rain tapped against the windows like impatient fingers. My gut churned, a familiar discomfort that had become my constant companion over the past year. This wasn't just

Tell HN: Beware confidentiality agreements that act as lifetime non competes

Just a note of warning from personal experience. Companies don’t really need non-competes anymore. Some companies take an extremely broad interpretation of IP confidentiality, where they consider doing any work in the industry during your lifetime an inevitable confidentiality violation. They argue it would be impossible for you to work elsewhere in this industry during your entire career without violating confidentiality with the technical and business instincts you bring to that domain.

How to Beat Jet Lag

wired.com Sabrina Weiss 2026-03-02 03:00:00

We’ve all been there after a long trip—staring blankly at emails, counting the hours until bed. Yet when 2 am hits, you’re still wide awake, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, trapped in the grip of jet lag. That’s the price for crossing time zones too fast. Our internal clock, or circadian rhythm, governs everything from sleep to digestion to hormones and uses light to maintain its natural 24-hour cycle. But when we land in a new time zone, and day suddenly turns to night, this rhythm is

Astronomers Suggest That Entire Stars Are Being Obscured by Giant "Lampshades" of Dark Matter

Hunting for dark matter, the invisible substance thought to account for 85 percent of all mass in the cosmos, isn't easy. If it interacts with light at all, it does so incredibly weakly. Still, we can see its handiwork everywhere, with its gravitational pull determining the formation of everything from whole galaxies to individual stars.
