The scale of these terrorist attacks seems to be lost by some in the comments here. Here’s a documentary showing the extent, including all of the undeniable civilians that were injured or killed: https://youtu.be/2mqqDTIs4vE

iPhone Mirroring is insanely well-implemented and it's a testament to what only Apple can do. Seamless integration of their products and every just works as you expect.

In a democracy, the government having this power ostensibly means the people have this power. If the corporations have power beyond the reach of the government, then it's not really a democracy.

I know lots of googlers-- many hadn't heard about this as well. I also think many googlers are opposed to Google's military contracts with Israel, but likely don't know this is happening.

Wow. I left my parent comment 2 minutes ago and this thread has already been removed from the front page. Story has 46 points and is 29 minutes old at the time I'm writing this comment. Are we not allowed to discuss the actions of one

This happened two days ago, but I didn't hear anything about it until today. I am a heavy HN user. Why wasn't this on the front page? Edit: it appears that every post about Israel is getting flagged (often after receiving tons o

A guy posted a video of his accelerator pedal getting stuck in the fully down position to all of the relevant subreddits (r/tesla, etc) and was banned from posting in all of them. https://twitter.com/elaifresh/stat

This is quite an outlandish take. The safety of the aviation industry is by and large directly due to strict safety regulations, many of which Boeing pioneered before being taken over and financialized into the mess it is today. New entran

The US cares about none of those things and still pays insanely high prices for bad infrastructure. The US cares about businesses, and building good public utilities is fundamentally at odds with a for-profit model.

It’s sad but the US peaked sometime in the last 30-40 years. NY is the only semi-functioning metro system in the whole country and it will likely crumble in the next few decades unless something on the order of the New Deal is enacted.

If you’re really set on Android, I would buy a year old phone (so probably a “Pixel 7 Pro” if that’s a thing? Not sure when Google last changed their naming scheme). A year old iPhone goes for maybe €100-200 less than the new model, but la

US has been responsible for similar and worse at a much larger scale, even just in my lifetime. All war is a crime, and the US is always at war.

Batteries and solar panels will not save us from an economic system that requires over-production and over-consumption.

Both “she said goodbye too many times before” and “she had said goodbye too many times before” are grammatically correct English. They have slightly different meanings.

I don’t think I have ever used the USB-to-lightning cable for data transfer on my current or previous iPhone. Maybe most users are like me. If you do lots of data transfers this way, buy a faster USB-C cable?

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just use the original posters. These are still in English so it’s not a translation thing. Are there licensing issues of the US artwork?

Has it really killed that many people? I thought it was only 100+ but maybe the nearly 900 missing person are presumed dead now?
