Google lost its antitrust case with Epic again

engadget.com Unknown 2026-02-14 09:06:33

Google's attempt to appeal the decision in Epic v. Google has failed. In a newly released opinion, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has decided to uphold the original Epic v. Google lawsuit that found that Google's Play Store and payment systems are monopolies. The decision means that Google will have to abide by the remedies of the original lawsuit, which limits the company's ability to pay phone makers to preinstall the Play Store, prevents it from requiring developers to use its payment sy

The Anti-Abundance Critique on Housing Is Dead Wrong

news.ycombinator.com Derek Thompson 2026-02-14 11:28:07

The sharpest criticisms of the book Abundance have sometimes come from the antitrust movement. This group, mostly on the left, insists that the biggest problems in America typically come from monopolies and the corruption of big business. In housing, for example, Ezra Klein and I write that a key bottleneck to homebuilding in the last few decades has been legal barriers to construction, including zoning laws and minimum lot sizes. This is a mainstream view supported by economists and scholars w

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the AI Bubble

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-14 11:04:23

"The competition for AGI—AI that surpasses humans at all cognitive tasks—is of fundamental geopolitical importance." That's The Economist, last week. Not some breathless tech blogger or venture capitalist talking their book. The world's most prestigious economic publication. Notice the framing - it treats AGI as a foregone geopolitical contest. They're not wrong about the competition. They're just wrong about what we're competing for. I started coding again last year. First time in 13 years.

Programmers aren’t so humble anymore, maybe because nobody codes in Perl

news.ycombinator.com Samuel Arbesman 2026-02-11 21:51:22

Perl was once everywhere. Or at least it felt that way. Around the turn of the millennium, it seemed that almost every website was built on the back of this scripting language. It processed massive amounts of text—mechanisms for doing this powerfully and easily were part of the language—and it was even used in bioinformatics, munging and churning through genetic data. Based on one list, the companies that used Perl ranged widely: Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Deutsche Bank, Akamai, Citibank, Comcast, M

A common sedative sometimes taken to get high is becoming deadlier. Research out this week finds that annual U.S. deaths caused by nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas or whippits, have significantly spiked over the past decade and a half.

Celebrating 40 Years of the Weirdest, Nerdiest Week in Movie History

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-14 11:00:33

“Don’t cannibalize the audience” is an unwritten mantra in Hollywood. If a movie that is coming out has a similar subject matter or serves a similar viewership as one you are releasing, you try and put some distance between them so as not to ruin your chances of success. If two movies come out that are too similar, it’s likely to split the audience and hurt both of them. That seems like a no-brainer point of view. And yet, 40 years ago this week, three movies were released in a seven-day span th

Horrifyingly Huge New Stick Insect Discovered Exactly Where You Think

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-14 11:05:48

Australia is famous for hosting the weirdest creatures we’ve ever seen. Sometimes, these weird creatures also come extra-large—like the newly discovered stick insect that researchers believe may be the heaviest of all Aussie insects. The insect, named Acrohylla alta, is about 15 inches (40 centimeters) long—about the height of a bowling pin—and weighs around 0.1 pounds (44 grams), slightly lighter than the heaviest golf ball.

Russian-state hackers are targeting foreign embassies in Moscow with custom malware that gets installed using adversary-in-the-middle attacks that operate at the ISP level, Microsoft warned Thursday. The campaign has been ongoing since last year. It leverages ISPs in that country, which are obligated to work on behalf of the Russian government.
