Or maybe 1900+ years of acting a certain way?
And what's that way?

#292I want to talk about Ticketmaster. People hate Ticketmaster. For good reason. TM throws on all these fees, clearly engages in third-party selling, makings buying difficult and jacks up prices. All of this is known. But what's less known is that artists, especially big artists, like Ticketmaster. Why? Because TM is a sacrificial anode. It takes all the hate but adding junk fees that in part go to the artist. The artis…
I agree with everything you said except that the US is able to stop it. Think about it: Wouldn't Israel simply use these same tools in the US to install a puppet president they can easily manipulate? Can we even prove it hasn't already happened?
there was some talk some weeks ago about some emails being released that implicated a lot of politicians and business leaders...but I can't really remember so much has happened since then!

#293Quick question: Could they also be manipulating this message board's voting?
If they could get people to install a mobile UI app that fetches instructions on what to up/down-vote, what to flag/vouch then they could and unlikely anyone would notice. It is unlikely that enough people would check their up/down vote history, vouch and flag history and even then some would assume they fat-fingered such things. Such a UI could also save and upload username and password to another site. Some people…
Exactly such an app exists.

Not a single pro-Israel article, nor even any article that even mentions Israel neutrally, has ever reached the front page of HN in the entire history of HN. So, no. Israel is not "winning the up- and downvote war" of HN.

The accusation is that Israel manipulates HN results. I responded that they do not because if they had been, there would surely be even one single positive article about Israel in the entire two decades of Hacker News' existence. There is not.
Do please try to keep up.

Agree with your post. As a Jewish American, I have been advocating that it would be better for Americans and even Jews if we stop sending money to Israel and put political pressure on Israel to abandon illegal settlements, end the war on Gaza and work towards a resolution of the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Unfortunately, this POV doesn't seem to be widely held by many woth influence.
A 2 state solution is still wildly unpopular amongst Palestinians (both in the West Bank and Gaza), and since 10/7, is now a minority opinion (although still the plurality) amongst Israelis[1]. They also did try as recently as 2009, not that you'd have heard about it[2]. Also, the aid money the USA sends to Israel doesn't disappear into nothing any more than NASA's funding does. American aid to Israel (and to most pl…
NASA is exploring space, our money to Israel encourages US participation in genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and global war. I'm in the US and support a single state solution: Palestine. I think most people under the age of 45 are in agreement.
