Booking.com still runs on the internal A/B testing framework its engineers wrote in Amsterdam in the mid-2000s, with no major rewrite since, and at any given moment it is running more than 1,000 live experiments on the same booking page you’re looking at

Booking.com runs more than 1,000 concurrent experiments on its production booking flow through an in-house framework its Amsterdam engineers built in the late 2000s — a foundational piece of software that has been extended continuously but never rewritten. The case reveals how the most powerful systems in modern e-commerce are often the oldest.

Как мы перестали полировать макеты и начали отдавать дизайн итерациями

Итеративный дизайн на самом деле не только про дизайн, но и про подход к созданию продукта. Он связывает дизайнеров, команду разработки, PO (product owner), PM (project manager) и пользователей в систему, где каждый влияет на то, каким становится продукт.Дизайнер перестаёт быть исполнителем макетов и становится участником продуктовых решений. Разработчик перестаёт просто отрисовывать экраны по макету и влияет на продукт на протяжении всего его жизненного цикла, замечает то, что не видно... Read more

Security Week 2627: поддельные инструменты ИИ как приманка для малого бизнеса

На прошлой неделе исследователи «Лаборатории Касперского» опубликовали разбор ландшафта угроз для малого и среднего бизнеса. По данным отчета, небольшие компании остаются мишенью как для операторов массовых вредоносных кампаний, так и для тех, кто использует подрядчика как точку входа в инфраструктуру более крупной организации. Авторы статьи отдельно отмечают, что в 2026 году одной из главных приманок стали популярные ИИ-сервисы.Главная новость в отчете: с января по апрель 2026 года защитные решения «Лабора Read more

What looks like slowing down in someone’s late seventies is often something gentler — the first time in their adult life they aren’t trying to earn the right to rest

There is a particular look that comes over some people in their late seventies, and for a long time I read it wrong. They move slower. They sit longer. They let a whole afternoon pass by the window without apologizing for it. I used to file this under decline, the body winding down, the world ... Read more Read more

Пузырь ИИ лопнул? Бизнес отказывается от ChatGPT, а Microsoft пытается спасти положение софтом: ML-дайджест

В июне этот экономический тупик стал главным драйвером изменений в индустрии. Компании перестали гнаться за брендами вроде OpenAI и начали массово переходить на китайские модели, а это уже холодный расчет. Но, согласитесь, экономия на API — это лишь верхушка айсберга. Нужно смотреть на весь ИИ-стек сверху вниз. В этом дайджесте мы разберем три главных инфраструктурных сдвига июня. Читать далее Read more

IKEA is owned by a Dutch foundation with no shareholders and no owner, an arrangement that protects the company from any takeover, keeps its tax bill low, and for years left it running the world’s wealthiest charity and one of its least generous

Ask who owns IKEA and the honest answer is that almost nobody does, by design. The Swedish furniture retailer, founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943, is not listed on any stock exchange, is not controlled by the Kamprad family in any straightforward sense, and has no shareholders who could sell it. Most of it belongs ... Read more Read more

A Johns Hopkins study tracked the point at which a behaviour turns from a choice into a habit — and found it does not fade in gradually, it switches over all at once

The standard account of how habits form goes something like this: repetition gradually reduces the cognitive effort a behaviour requires. Each time you perform an action — taking the same route to work, reaching for your phone when you sit down, making coffee before you open your laptop — the decision-making overhead shrinks slightly. Over ... Read more Read more

We picture the dark web as the internet’s underworld, but it was built by Navy researchers who understood a quiet truth — that anonymity only protects anyone if it protects everyone, including the people we’d rather it didn’t

I find that most conversations about the dark web collapse almost immediately into moral panic. The image is consistent: shadowy marketplaces, ransomware operators, the kind of content that makes you want to close the browser and go outside. And those things are real — I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But every time I hear ... Read more Read more

Most people don’t realise the hardest part of ageing isn’t losing abilities, it’s outliving everyone who knew the younger version of you

When people picture the hardship of growing old, they picture the body. Joints that stop cooperating, hearing that thins, the loss of an independence that used to come without thinking about it. That decline is real, and it is what almost everyone braces for. Ask people who are actually old, though, and a different answer ... Read more Read more

Stockholm’s Fika Jobs just raised $4M to kill the resume with AI video interviews — and the part nobody is pricing in is what happens when employers see your face before your skills

Stockholm-based Fika Jobs has raised a $4 million pre-seed round to build what it describes as a video-first hiring platform, where candidates are interviewed by an AI agent rather than screened through resumes, as reported by TechCrunch . The round was led by Luminar Ventures, with participation from Alliance VC and King co-founders Sebastian Knutsson and Riccardo Zacconi, the duo behind Candy Crush. Read more
