Reading this was.. interesting. Since 2008, the CPJ has published the Global Impunity Index, which tracks countries in which journalists are murdered and the killers are not prosecuted. Until 2025 that is, the year when Israel would finally top the index. In fact, the way the index is tabulated, with numbers rolling over the next year, Israel's actions would have likely secured their place in the podium for the next decade. Allegedly according to whistleblowers, the CPJ's board and donors were unhappy about this. The CEO, Jodie Ginsberg had a rather elegant solution - scrap the index entirely.

Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

I think this is an interesting topic and it gratifies my intellectual curiosity and should not be flagged.
