Second study finds Uber used opaque algorithm to dramatically boost profits

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”.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Ever since Google announced that it would begin phasing out its Assistant for Gemini as the default voice assistant, I have found myself struggling to pick between the two. On one hand, I like the familiarity and reliability of the Assistant but on the other, Gemini is the only one still getting new features.

Apple’s China comeback playbook now includes government-backed discounts

After a rocky stretch, Apple managed to bounce back last month with a 15% jump in iPhone sales, driven largely by renewed demand in the U.S. and China. In China, especially, Apple had been losing ground to local brands benefiting from government subsidies on lower-cost phones. Now, it appears Apple is joining the subsidy program itself.

Subsecond: A runtime hotpatching engine for Rust hot-reloading

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-29 15:58:11

§Subsecond: Hot-patching for Rust Subsecond is a library that enables hot-patching for Rust applications. This allows you to change the code of a running application without restarting it. This is useful for game engines, servers, and other long-running applications where the typical edit-compile-run cycle is too slow. Subsecond also implements a technique we call “ThinLinking” which makes compiling Rust code significantly faster in development mode, which can be used outside of hot-patching.
