(CNN) — En marzo de 1973, el fabricante de productos electrónicos RCA Corporation promocionó su “nuevo televisor en color de bajo precio” en el New York Times. El costo fue de $379.95 para un modelo de 15 pulgadas, el equivalente a un derroche de $2,694.32 en dólares actuales.En estos días, en una era de inflación superior al promedio, puede parecer que todo, desde alimentos hasta automóviles nuevos se hayan vuelto más caro. Pero un elemento básico de la sala de estar logró desafiar el aumento de los precios e incluso se volvió menos costoso con el tiempo: la televisión. Hoy en día, puedes conseguir un televisor de 32 pulgadas (más del doble del tamaño de un televisor RCA de 1973) por menos de 100 dólares.¿Los fabricantes de televisores bajaron los precios por la bondad de sus corazones? Difícilmente.Varios factores contribuyeron al abaratamiento de los televisores, algunos de ellos relacionados con la fabricación y otros más relacionados con el marketing. Hay una mayor compe...

North Korea conducts first long-range missile test in months, likely firing a solid-fueled weapon

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:53:30 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea on Monday conducted its first intercontinental ballistic missile test in five months, likely launching a developmental, more agile weapon, as it vows strong responses against U.S. and South Korean moves to boost their nuclear deterrence plans.The South Korean government described the missile tested as a solid-fueled weapon, a likely reference to the North’s road-mobile Hwasong-18 ICBM whose built-in solid propellants make its launch more difficult for adversaries to detect than liquid-fueled weapons. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un previously called the Hwasong-18 the most powerful weapon of his nuclear forces.South Korea’s military said the North Korean missile flew about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) before landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan. It said the missile was launched on an elevated angle, an apparent attempt to avoid neighboring countries. Japanese lawmaker Masahisa Sato, citing Japan’s Defens...

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Stephen Curry’s NBA-record 3-pointer streak ended at 268 games Sunday night in the Golden State Warriors’ 118-114 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.Curry was 0 for 8 from 3-point range, 2 for 12 overall and scored seven points. He began the streak Dec. 1, 2018, at Detroit.Curry, the NBA career leader who recently made his 3,500th 3-pointer, last went without one in a regular-season game on Nov. 8, 2018, when he was 0 for 4 against Milwaukee. He also owns the second-longest NBA streak at 157 games. “We can’t rely on Steph to bail us out on every single night,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “It was a tough night for him, but that’s what a team is supposed to be about. Everybody filling in for each other, different guys stepping up each night. That’s a great sign, because he’s carried us for long enough this year. We need to give him more help.”The two-time MVP missed all nine 3-point attempts in Game 5 of the 2022 NBA Finals against Boston, one game befor...

LONDON — President Joe Biden has quietly shelved plans for a “foundational” trade agreement with the U.K. ahead of the 2024 election — following Senate opposition and disagreements over the scope of the deal.A draft outline of the pact and its 11 proposed chapters, prepared by the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) office earlier this year, indicated negotiations would begin before the end of 2023.But after facing multiple headwinds, the deal is not expected to go ahead, two people briefed by the British and U.S. governments respectively told POLITICO. Both were granted anonymity to speak on a sensitive matter.“I don’t think we’re going to see that re-emerge,” said one of the people briefed on the proposed negotiations. The proposal’s timeline for talks — which would not consider market access or meet the World Trade Organization’s definition of a free trade agreement — set out that negotiations would wrap up ahead of elections in Britain and the U.S. next ...
