SFO - FRA has to be incredibly profitable . Only Lufthansa and Unites fly it (codeshare partners ). Regular economy for the rest of the year is around 2300 USD round trip and closer to the flight it’s around 3500. It’s completely ridiculous compared to other more competitive routes like London.

Sydney to Melbourne is #2 and is barely a 1 hour flight.

Bit stupid crunching it by revenue. Obviously the long routes generate the most rev, but they also have the highest fuel costs.
The World's Most Profitable Flights
I am flabbergasted that Qantas has the #2 slot for Melbourne-Sydney! No wonder players like Compass and OzJet tried to shoulder into that market (with little success) 10 or 20 years ago. I know of a couple of friends who live in one city and literally commute to the other every day/week for work,...

When you buy a can of diced tomatoes, how do you think were they diced? Do you think it was done manually? I'm pretty sure slicing and dicing vegetables is a problem that has been solved at industrial scale a long time ago.

And tomatoes can be difficult to slice; too ripe, and they splatter, making catsup in that nice, clear tube. Too tough and they bend the blades of your mandoline. Onions are even worse. They seem to have realized that lettuce won't be easy to cut (so they use shredded) but that will wilt/brown much...

F-Secure Hack Can Unlock Millions of Hotel Rooms With Handheld Device

By Ryan Whitwam It’s very rare these days that a hotel will give you a real key when you check in. Instead, most chain hotels and mid-sized establishments have switched over to electronic locks with a keycard system. As researchers from F-Secure have discovered, these electronic locks may not be very secure. Researchers from the company have managed to create a “master key” for a popular brand of hotel locks that can unlock any door. The team began this investigation more than a decade ago, when an F-Secure employee had a laptop stolen from a hotel room. Some of the staff began to...

Burger Robot Startup Opens First Restaurant

Creator’s transparent burger robot doesn’t grind your brisket and chuck steak into a gourmet patty until you order it. That’s just one way this startup, formerly known as Momentum Machines, wants to serve the world’s freshest cheeseburger for just $6. On June 27th, after eight years in development, Creator unveils its first robot restaurant before opening to the public in September. We got a sneak peek…err…taste. When I ask how a startup launching one eatery at a time could become a $10 billion company, Creator co-founder and CEO Alex Vardakostas looks me dead in the eye and says, “the...

The World's Most Profitable Flights

Though it usually deals in metrics like the world’s busiest airline routes or the longest flights, Official Airline Guide (OAG) has now compiled and released the list of flights earning the most revenue worldwide, which provides a fascinating snapshot into the changing headwinds of the aviation industry. OAG is an air travel information and intelligence agency that tracks data from the world’s airlines, airports, government agencies and air travel-related service companies. OAG gathered data on airline revenues from April 2017-March 2018 to create a list of commercial flights earning...

Founder's Angry Outburst Saved Burger King

In the mid-1950s, Burger King had only a few struggling outlets in Florida, plagued with hamburger-broiling contraptions that frequently broke down.  Dave Edgerton, one of the founders, was running out of patience. Finally, incensed with yet another machine meltdown, he pulled a hatchet from his toolbox and smashed one of the stainless steel cookers, according to a memoir by his partner, James McLamore. Mr. Edgerton then bellowed: “I can build a better machine than this pile of junk.”  His tantrum was the start of a turnaround that put Burger King on track to become a serious...

Man With Rifle Kills Four at Restaurant

A gunman who killed four people Sunday at a Waffle House near Nashville was arrested last summer after he crossed a security barrier at the White House, police said.  The suspect, Travis Reinking, 29 years old, of Morton, Ill., opened fire around 3:25 a.m. local time at the restaurant in Antioch, Tenn., a community in the Nashville metro area, killing three customers and one employee and wounding four others, authorities said. He was armed with an AR-15 assault style rifle.  As of Sunday afternoon, police still had not found Mr. Reinking, who they believe had moved to the...
