The opposite is true. Most Americans are eating food that isn't what the label says it is (eg. fish). This sort of scam is completely legal and the FDA allows it to happen. More regulation needed. Then you have dietary supplements whic

They didn't overpromise. They made a promise they could easily keep, but have decided against doing so. Classic bait and switch. Embarrassing to find this sort of scam being defended here on HN.

I mean, that's just embarrassing from The Tolkien Estate. Random bus drivers in third world backwaters know about Hollywood accounting. They should have negotiated for 7.5% of revenue.

Over a long enough time period, every government pulls "drano-snorting antics". Ergo if you want stability, you have to diversify.

Great news. It's really unhealthy for the global economy to be so dependant on one currency. Hopefully we see the Euro and Indian Rupee grow in prominence.

What a silly comment. Those are assets purchased by the cops to enable them to provide the services they do to the public. On the other hand, we have a private for-profit company that is piggybacking off the cops vehicles in order to make p

Wow, the police allowed their entire fleet of vehicles to be used by a private company? And taxpayers considered this ok and not blatant corruption? Capitalism, you scary.

It's actually really sane. Elected individuals are almost always corrupt... you really can't be elected anymore without owing lots of people favours. An unelected, non-political individual who is above it all results in a more sta

What you're suggesting is that the govt should be allowed to only let sycophants post praise, while blocking any criticism or unwelcome comment. Ridiculous. Every announcement is made in a public square, and once said, every citizen ha

For Twitter, a simpler solution would be to just disable the block button for govt accounts. They can use the mute function to ignore trolls.

Yes this is perfect. To me, it's $5. A round figure. $4.13 is just silliness.

Parrots are very expressive, and if you live with one for months/years, you'll learn its moods. Not hard to see how a parrot responds to something new.

Interesting. In my country it's illegal to import vehicles over 5yrs old, not to mention having to meet emissions standards.

From a quick Google, these all seem to be cars from the 90s. Did you see any fpr sale that are less than a decade old?

That's an odd way to put it. The admins are basically god. God doesn't harass you, he tells you how to live. If an admin tells you to jump, you beg to know how high. I've been a mod for a decade and never had a problem with a

The title is incorrect. It says that Netflix will run its DVD service for another 25 years, but the article says it's ending the service now.
