    That slogan has been around since 2002. The U.S. carried out a targeted strike against a leader of Al-Qaeda in Yemen, an enemy of the Houthi movement. Using U.S. foreign policy to …

    Show HN: Happy Passover – Passover Game

    Built a fun little Passover game while in the bomb shelter with my kids. You play as Moses, trigger the 10 plagues, try to get out of Egypt. Made it in Cursor in ~5–10 prompts. Bur…

    This is the setup I use for running Coolify on a Hetzner server, with Tailscale keeping non-public services behind the tailnet. It was my first time using Tailscale and overall the…

    Show HN: I wrote an application to help me practice speaking slower

    I’ve spoken fast and a bit unclearly my entire life. It’s one of those small curses you’re probably just born with. Speech therapy didn’t help and practicing on my own never really…

    I'm not going to defend Bibi and his government. They have made and continue to make many decisions I disagree with. Like the vast majority of Israelis, I think we should go to ele…

    I should know better, my wife is a UX specialist! You make a good point. What I should have said is that it won’t stop people who really want to watch it.

    I personally don't support blocking Al Jazeera. It's not that I'm a fan of them or any news station operated under a dictatorship without free press. It's clear that Al Jazeera act…

    Israeli here - I just checked and I can still access the site in both English and Arabic. My guess is you won’t actually see the site being blocked.

    You realize the wealthier a society, the fewer kids? It’s 100% a cultural norm issue. I was raised in Canada but have lived in Israel for the past 20 years. The vast majority of my…

    I think it is likely the complete opposite of trouble. It helped them write their comment faster and in such a way that it was easy to understand. This is one of the best use cases…

    This is part of progress (be it good or bad progress). It used to be that the majority of the US population worked in agriculture and today thanks to automation - it’s around 1% of…

    I love hackathons and before having kids I use to do them quite often. I usually placed in the top three and from my experience at least you are a 100% right! Personally I love bui…

    I am not sure where I read this or who told this to me, but my favorite piece of advice (prior to having kids) was "don't waste your time with people that don't give you positive e…

    I say this a lot and I will keep saying it. Conversion != customer obsession. There is a place for A/B testing. It is necessary and can be extremely beneficial in helping your cust…

    True, forgot about that. Makes it harder and more expensive for a small business to support Europe unless they are based in the EU from day one.

    Most of the polls in the US tend to be done by American Jewish organizations such as the AJC. The AJC polls actually specifically ask about support for Israel. Regardless all of th…

    I maybe in the minority here, but I believe that this is not good for the average European and definitely not good for the European tech scene. Europe is already a more complicated…
