You'd meet more in Haifa area. Arab engineers I worked with in Tel Aviv all came from Haifa, Nazareth or further north.

I'm neither American nor European, but have lived in both for a while, so at the risk of appearing like I'm trolling - the likely explanation IMHO is just that people in the US are nice and don't want to feel like they'r

Can you provide a source for such a story? I live in Israel and am politically opposed to settlements in West Bank yet can't think of a single example of what you're describing. Settlements are built on undeveloped land. Some urba

Offtopic, that sarcastic tone really caught me by surprise - it sounds more like an older New Yorker than a Native American tribal leader.

Of course I agree. Al Qaeda doesn't have the capacity to really threaten world peace except by provoking a shortsighted response, which they did. But the comparison is meaningless anyway. AQ is not a nation, it's an organization w

Since this is a hacker crowd where data should count for something, consider that the entire Arab-Israeli conflict since 1948 so far caused less than half as many deaths as the current Syrian civil war, let alone the Iran-Iraq War or the Ir

Neat idea. Is the "Download Jr" part required, or could it just be included from GH pages of the original repo? Could make for a very quick & simple way to put up some content online while keeping it looking decent, and users

They did ship. It's not that rare to see their cars driving around Israel. From what I've heard, owners loved them - less so now, obviously. I think BP burnt through their money too quickly, and ran out of resources (and investor

Seems to me JavaScript is easier to develop with than Obj-C/Java - one evidence is that they pretty much require a heavy IDE while JS is often developed on glorified text editors. But even if that's not the case, new devs can get

1. I'm not sure there's any evidence of Apple loosening its grip the app store because a certain genre is popular on Android (eg Swype) 2. Apps take longer to develop, require more skill & time investment, and (if iOS) have to

In the about page there's a list of JS libs - are you using PhoneGap or similar to package it as an iOS app? What was your experience with the audio API? Truly original, well implemented concept. Neat.

Yep, because it's impossible that non-US governments are individually idiots, everything is controlled by the NSA. 12 years ago I was backpacking in Australia/NZ with my girlfriend. Upon landing in Auckland we were subjected to ab
