Use /active as your start page on HN if you're interested politics. Political discussions occur, just not on front page.
My guess is that HN will shut down within a few years because it doesn't much serve a purpose for PG or YC.
But alas. We won’t get any of that.
Unfortunately this Israeli company is just incompetent, should try something from Russia next time, given that’s all the data end up to be anyway.

They took an Israeli app, that is a modified version of signal. the modification BREAKS the one thing signal is excellent at (keeping your messages encrypted so that only the desired endpoints can read them), then distributed it within the US Gov.
This is insanity!

i saw this story on other sites and immediately thought: hacker news will be the best place to follow along with this only to see it flagged dead. it does seem like this seems to be happening quite a lot when a certain group of people and their competence levels are being covered.
thanks for not burying this particular instance.
