sporkxrocket··on Ask HN: Has the Gaza war affected the HN crowd?
My workplace has become very tense as most of us are pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist, but our CEO and investors are very aggressively Zionist. Internally we debate if we should quit, or stay and "fight" the best we can. I think in general there's the sense that we shouldn't let the Zionists chase us out of our jobs, especially when most people don't support their cause.

On a personal level, I boycott all Israeli products and companies, including companies that do business with Israel (to the best of my ability, I still need an alternative to NVIDIA).

I feel like I must be one of these people because even a regular iPhone from the past 5 years is way too thin to comfortably hold. When something is much wider than it is thick, not aligning it perfectly in your hand puts pressure on it diagonally and sends it spiraling to the ground.

The thinness would make it harder to grip laterally. It's less surface area to grab on to.
sporkxrocket··on Tesla Wants Out of the Car Business
There's no moat in anything you listed. If you want a mobile app you need either Apple or Google's permission to get it. The roads are a public good, they by law cannot be monopolized by a single company (or two).

A car is not a platform and cannot create the locking/monopoly a phone can.

Tesla has made no inroads to this story, their valuation is 100% unjustified.

Yeah all of the Palestinians that Israel has been holding hostage since well before Oct 7th need to be freed.
sporkxrocket··on Israeli military database show only a quarter of Gaza detainees are fighters
Being against ethnic cleansing and land theft isn't "nationalist propaganda". Let's stick to historical facts, starting with Nakba and the Balfour Declaration, both of which were egregious human rights violations.

Israel is annexing the West Bank so it's safe to say the PLO made the wrong call. It's 100% ethnic cleansing. That's all Israel is, ethnically cleansed Palestine, since Nakba.

Iran made targeted strikes against military installations.

Since every adult in Israel joins the IDF, that would make them valid targets then right?

Hamas has offered to return the hostages many times and Israel refuses to stop the killing. Missing in your analysis is Israel’s primary goal: ethnically cleanse all of Palestine and enforce Jewish supremacy.

Israel would still be committing genocide regardless of how the resistance dresses. They’re literally ethnically cleansing the West Bank and that has nothing to do with Hamas. They ethically cleansed all of Palestine during the Nakba and Hamas didn’t exist for another 50 years.
sporkxrocket··on Google's $45M Contract with Netanyahu's Office to Spread Propaganda
Propaganda is what fuels genocide.

It's very unfortunate that this post is being filtered from the main page. Imagine if there wasn't dramatic global censorship of anything anti-Israel. Opposition would be orders of magnitude greater.

Edit: of course now this article if flagged and the comments downvoted. That's diabolical. This site doesn't even have the thinnest veneer of impartiality, it's literally a propaganda arm for Israel.
