What Hacker News says?

  1. As further evidence that the assafnativ probably understands trolling, it's worth mentioning that he wrote the article The Making of the Kosher Phone [0]. So he knows how to troll Orthodox Jews if nothing else. [0]: http://blog.assafnativ.com/2014/03/the-making-of-kosher-phon...
