> The price of the median purchased TV in 1997 was ~$4000, in nominal (1997) dollars.
I think you added a zero, where is this figure from?
Because everyone agrees with the sentiment, Apple lovers and haters alike.
> Specifically for acne treatments, seems fine.
Hard disagree. The only acne treatment I know by name has serious side effects that IMO should be discussed with a human at length before being used.
I think it’s a generous compromise personally.
“Cyst O’Donavan has been found guilty. It took a Waymo jury less than three seconds to convict him.”
People can’t know for sure that they saved anything until all statute of limitations have expired without a lawsuit!
I don’t know that that is true but if so it’s probably because they largely didn’t flee to the west.
Haven’t seen it yet but The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On is an ‘87 doc about a Japanese WWII vet tracking down Japanese war criminals, confronting them and then beating the shit out of them. Here’s Bill Hader talking about it:

OK and you are doing the dril wise man tweet sincerely
Article doesn't mention what Pi they are comparing to but it's clearly not a $200 one lmao
> I'm def not paying for the opportunity to yell at my TV.
That’s what all cable news, reality TV, game shows and sports channels are!
Always cancel immediately after you sign up. Treat all streamers as one-month-at-a-time purchases and you’ll realize how much you’ve been paying for that you weren’t using.
If the name Bright Data is ringing a bell to anyone, it’s probably because they are a (the?) primary offender running the LG TV “residential proxy” (botnet)
> Facial age estimation: Take a selfie and Yoti's technology estimates your age. No ID document needed.
I still have never done one of these, seems insane!
What an insane trade off. Seems like a few bait cars and a couple of trackers would be plenty to figure out where the converters are getting fenced. Obviously there is a small number of buyers driving the entire catalytic theft economy.
This would pin all violations on judgement proof goons.
Facebook is the biggest offender (could say that a lot tbh)
"New listings were added that match your search: <$search>"

Just confirmed! (Is this new? I could swear it didn't work a few months ago when I was looking for stories about Bright Data before all the news articles about the residential proxies.)

from the self-post dept.
Not just HN the site, everyone’s fuzzy search sucks. Let me do exact match search. Even if it’s an option I have to dig deep to find.When I ran a site that had lots of search use I agonized over making search good and never nuked exact match for the sake of some fuzzy matching. I wish others would do the same.
Wow, who is subsidizing it?
All of those things you long for have been nuked by the economy too.
> Determined sites could already easily do this
They already DO do it, I don't know how they're currently determining it
update: linear rolled out fixes to these 5 days ago, pretty stoked
Linear still has broken Back / Forward after literally years! Instead of fixing it they introduced a Pinned Tab feature that doesn’t actually do anything! Absolutely drives me nuts.
What’s the $22 for, a DVD drive? I thought this was solved since Handbrake
omfg that’s the beach access guy
