"Scotiabank’s latest financial statements show the bank has sold its remaining 165K shares in Elbit, completing a full divestment from a company whose weapons & technology are critical to Israel Defense Forces operations.

A decentralized campaign of protests, sit-ins, & cultural boycotts has been pressuring the bank to sell off its shares ever since Scotiabank’s significant stake in Elbit became public knowledge in fall 2022."

New accounts on HN more likely to use em-dashes

Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

New accounts on HN 10x more likely to use EM-dashes

I’ve had this sense that HN has gotten absolutely innundated with bots last few months. First most obvious giveaway is the frequency with which you see accounts posting brilliant insights like 13 60 well and t6ctctfuvuh7hguhuig8h88gd to f6gug7h8j8h6fzbuvubt GB I be cugttc fav uhz cb ibub8vgxgvzdrc to bubuvtxfh tf d xxx h z j gj uxomoxtububonjbk P.l.kvh cb hug tf 6 go k7gtcv8j9j7gimpiiuh7i 8ubg or 1662476506 or Аё Beyond the accounts that are visibly glitching out, the vibe is also seriously off.

The AI hype-cyclone is bad, but so is the anti-AI witch hunt. Commits co-authored by Claude do not mean that a project has "abandoned engineering as a serious endeavor"

Would we say that accepting contributions from new developers means we've "abandoned engineering as a serious endeavor"? No.

Claude can write wrong code. New contributors can write wrong code. What matters is what you do with that code after it's been written.

The math is weird (positive) because budgets are hard in dire circumstances. I think I’ve held onto more donations longer than originally estimated.

Smart glasses freak me out. They should freak you out too, since being analyzed (and who knows what else they do) by them without consent is a huge breach of our privacy.

Here's a nice Android-app which tells if someone is stalking you with them. Then you can take a look around and give'em some harsh words 😁

Nearby Glasses - Apps on Google Play

This app searches for smart glasses nearby and notifies you of their presence.

Another day, another blog piece by Soatok spreading misleading FUD about an encrypted chat system that isn't Signal;

soatok.blog/2026/02/17/cryptog

Once again @matrixThe Matrix.org Foundation folks respond in detail to Soatak's FUD, far more politely than it really deserves;

matrix.org/blog/2026/02/analys

FYI I was going to say *willfully* spreading misleading FUD, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Never attribute to malice what can explained just as well by ignorance (and/or heavy bias).
