The New Movie Is Sparking a Right-Wing Backlash. Emily Wilson's 2017 translation of Homer's epic--the first by a woman--was called a woke "abomination" by online reactionaries. Christopher Nolan's film is facing similar critiques. Who'd have thought Helen of Troy would cause so much trouble? Earlier this year, certain quarters of the internet spun out at news that Kenyan-Mexican Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o was rumored to appear as the impossibly beautiful Spartan noble Helen--whose face, it was later written, launched a thousand ships--in Christopher Nolan's forthcoming Hollywood Homeric epic, The Odyssey The confirmation of her casting in May kicked off another wave of conniption fits.

Summer is for relaxing, not cleaning. Upgrade your backyard setup with a robot that cleans your pool for you. As the owner of an above-ground pool, I can attest that cleaning leaves, bugs, and other detritus is an everyday chore if the cover is off. I put up with it since my pool is only in use seasonally, but WIRED reviewer Chris Null has an in-ground pool he uses year-round, so he does not have time for foolery like nets, brushes, and manual vacuums. He has been testing pool robots for years, and his favorite robot he's ever tried has been from Beatbot.

There's a slick app for adjusting sound profiles, battery life can hit 135 hours with ANC off, and there's even USB-C audio cable included for hi-res listening.

These Prime Day vacuum deals will give your home the cleanest summer yet. The summer sale extravaganza has come early this year, and while this is one of many sale events you'll see between now and the holidays, these Prime Day vacuum deals are worth taking a look at. You can get my favorite cordless vacuum, the Shark PowerDetect ($300) for $100 cheaper than usual, or the already affordable Bissell PowerClean FurFinder ($150) with an extra discount. The best robot vacuum we've tried, the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal ($850) also has a fantastic price tag this week for how powerful it is, and you can get great wet vacuums like the Narwal S30 Pro ($330) on sale too. All of these models and more that we've tested and love are on sale right now.

Wireless and MagSafe charging aren't always the fastest or most efficient, but despite its bulk, this large-capacity bank can top off modern phones once (or maybe a little more than that) without overheating or taking forever. One of the best budget wireless chargers is even more affordable thanks to Prime Day. You can buy fancier, faster wireless chargers, but if you just want a simple option that'll top off your phone, this is worth checking out. It can deliver up to 10 watts, though you'll need to supply your own wall adapter. Want something that can fast charge your phone, juice up your tablet, and even refill your laptop? This generous 25,000-mAh capacity can do it all, but stops shy of the carry-on air travel limit. The maximum output is 165 watts for two devices, but 100 watts for a single device. It has lovely rounded edges, a retractable, flat, 2.3-foot USB-C cable on the top, and a snazzy, durable, braided 1-foot USB-C cable that doubles as a carry loop. This remains one of my favorite Windows laptops, despite the recent price increases. But now, it's unexpectedly dropped to $835 for Prime Day, making it the best laptop Prime Day deal I've found so far. Price aside, though, my favorite feature is the 3:2 aspect ratio screen, which also has a faster 120-Hz refresh rate. It's absolutely gorgeous, and all the extra vertical screen space gives more room to work with. A new version just got announced with a more powerful Snapdragon X2 chip inside, but it's considerably more expensive . Unlike so many Windows laptops around $500, the OmniBook 3 has excellent performance and battery life. And while the touchpad isn't the best, the specs alone make it the very best cheap laptop you can buy.

Motivated by real-life supply chain management, we study a repeated newsvendor problem in which the learner is a mediator that facilitates trades between suppliers and retailers in a sequence of supplier/retailer interactions. At each time step, a new supplier and retailer join the mediator's platform with a private production cost and utility function, respectively, and the platform proposes a unitary trading price. The supplier accepts the proposed price if it meets or exceeds their unitary production cost and communicates their decision to the platform; simultaneously, the retailer decides the quantity to purchase at the proposed trading price based on their private utility function and sends their decision to the platform. If the supplier accepts the trading price, the transaction proceeds, and the retailer purchases their chosen quantity of units, paying the product of this quantity and the trading price to the supplier. The mediator's objective is to maximize social welfare. We design an online mediator's pricing strategy that features sharp regret rates under some natural assumptions, and we investigate the necessity of these assumptions, proving that relaxing any of them leads to unlearnability.
