I haven't flown BA long haul (in any class) but unfortunately from what I hear they are generally not very well regarded for any of their products (especially premium) and haven't been for quite some time.
As a Portland resident, I can confirm the PPB has been escalating peaceful protests in neighborhoods. A few days ago protesters (including a mother of a protester who was horrifically maimed by an impact munition to the face by feds) were attacked and teargassed outside the police union hall in a very residential neighborhood.

The border patrol, DHS, and Portland Police Bureau are purposely terrorizing the citizens of Portland for political motives every single night. Portland is a lightning rod for right-wing animosity.

A lot of previously passive citizens are becoming radicalized by these events (similar to wartorn countries) and it kind of feels like a foreign occupation at this point.

I don't think I can ever go back to trusting police or the federal government the same way.
Any bash environment on Windows will do. install.sh serves a specific use case for those who need it. It installs dmd in the user's home directory along with a script that enables/disables that specific version in the environment, so multiple dmd versions can be installed side-by-side, and the user can switch between versions as needed. It's a convenience script, more than anything else. More suited for people used to developing in Linux who need to work in Windows from time to time (with or without WSL) than regular Windows developers. The latter group will certainly prefer the Windows installer.
Hi everyone! My name is Ankita. Pragadeesh and I are the creators of IMmaSignUp (https://www.immasignup.com). We offer a generic and simple to use virtual queue management system that anyone can spin up for themselves.

As we decisively move towards a more virtual mode of working, we feel there is a need for a simple, quick, easy, flexible and scalable way to create virtual queues that anyone can set up for themselves - whether its interviewing candidates for a club, holding office hours, or enforcing social distancing measures in the era of COVID19. We’ve added some neat features like the ability to claim tickets virtually and receive SMS notifications when your ticket reaches the front of the line.

We’re working fast to add more desired features as we gain more traction. You can check us out at (https://www.immasignup.com). We’d love any and all feedback from the HN community!
Fta: “interviews conducted by OPB show officers are also detaining people on Portland streets who aren’t near federal property, nor is it clear that all of the people being arrested have engaged in criminal activity.

Demonstrators like O’Shea and Pettibone said they think they were targeted by federal officers for simply wearing black clothing in the area of the demonstration.“
Nope, only one of the parties thinks that the president should be impeached and removed. This isn’t an entire party (House and Senate) going rogue either. The polls are similar across the entire population.

> keep democracy functioning (Federal Agencies, Judiciary, Education, EPA etc)

Democracy existed before the EPA, the department of education, and essentially every other federal agency. Consolidation of ever more power at the federal level is antithetical to democracy anyway - the federal govt is a republic of democratic states.

> which if the current POTUS wins, will signal the de facto end of Democracy

You’re saying that if he wins a democratic election, it will be the end of democracy? That just sounds like sour grapes over an asshole being picked.
> Here's a national security concern: a president announced he's going to war.

I wouldn't worry about that. Twitter's anti-violence tweet policy will censor any proclamation of war.
There are various vendor products that support automated deprovisioning when an employee is terminated in the master HR system. You're 1000x more likely to see them in a corporate setting than a startup.
Every time I hear about this recent "dark mode/light mode" fad I am reminded of a time when most software would use the OS's native and fully colour-customisable UI which let you have dark mode[1], light mode[2], rainbow mode[3], and everything in between[4], consistently across all applications with basically zero effort on the part of the application developers.

What a pitiful regression it has been since then.

Federal Law Enforcement Use Unmarked Vehicles to Grab Protesters in Portland
Thank you for sharing this. In the program guide it says a temperature reading of > 42 degrees or an oxygen saturation of < 90 are the thresholds for a MET call. Is there a basis for these specific values or are they general approximations?
Even if I agree with your assessment, none of this excuses using unmarked vehicles, unmarked uniforms and not explaining themselves.
Why?

It works quite well! I just recently worked on a large government department that had approximately 100 public, Internet-facing DNS zones hosted on a pair of Windows servers.

I seriously don't get this automatic dismissal of Windows Server as "not a real server operating system". An enormous fraction of large enterprises run on it, very often for Internet-facing infrastructure. Microsoft.com. Azure.net. Stackoverflow.com. You know... those teeny-tiny toy sites nobody ever visits.

Just because you're not familiar with it, and just because you can't imagine how it could be managed properly doesn't mean other people don't know how to do it.

PS: The list of BIND's CVE entries is here, in case you think that being UNIX-based makes it magically immune to security vulnerabilities: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=...
We were fine with just using Github Issues... until we weren't. At a certain scale, it's too hard to sort and filter issues and since you can't add fields it was hard to capture all the issue metadata we wanted.
An immediate problem I see with this is the realistic estimates problem. If you go to your average deloit/accenture customer and offer them the services of this anti-BS'ing boys club collective, and then deloit swoops in and says they'll do it in half the time and tick every single checkbox in the massive excel RFP including the contradictory requirements and the requirements that flat out make no sense, then guess who is likely to the win the bid? In the end it will be your deloits and your Accentures that win and then predictably the project will run long, not tick every requirement, and end up costing double.
> medicating kids was for a long time the norm and is being harshly critiqued and challenge more recently

My mom bought into this stuff in the 1990s and I never had proper treatment as a child. Only until I was an adult and saw a doctor myself was I properly diagnosed. The medication was a life-saver in my 20s.

As much as pro-pharma stuff is being pushed behind closed doors there's also tons of pseudoscience "appeals to nature" fallacies [1] being pushed in all public channels, where all chemicals are treated with suspicion. I wish there was more of a balance in the media, because this anti-pharma narrative is everywhere now.

I'm not surprised this manifested into anti-vaxxers. Anyone saying that medication as a solution is still treated with reverence in popular discourse is deceiving themselves. Doctors have all heard the stories by now too.

But that also doesn't mean doctors haven't played a big role in this, including those who massively over-prescribed painkillers, benzos, and antidepressants in the last few decades - which have help distract from all the real positive benefits they provide.

I agree it’s the way Deloitte works and not how the world should work.

> Why would they admit fault?

That’s just it they never would.

But reading your comment:

> If the system didn’t work as agreed in the statement of work and that was clear, Deloitte would be footing the bill.

You certainly make it sound Deloitte is a fair company that would admit when a system doesn’t work as agreed and then foot the bill, but that’s not the case.

Whether they admit fault For delivering a failed system or not, do you have an actual example where Deloitte was magnanimous and returned $100M to a client after delivering a system?
My unnecessary ticket was in Berkeley. I got pulled over after an intersection with a stop sign. A cop that looked about twenty in a crisp, immaculate uniform came to the window and said that I had failed to come to a complete stop. I said "yes sir, I did, I even rolled backward". He put his hand on his gun, leaned down and yelled in my face "ARE YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?". No sir, whatever you say sir.

Maybe too many Berkeley council members had similar police interactions.

The 747 is aviation’s Taj Mahal — revered not only for its history but its sheer beauty, which in all the years since its introduction has not even come close to being matched.
Ultimately it doesn’t matter what really happened.

The most important aspect to the American people is that the largest real estate holder in San Francisco and employs roughly 5,000 employees can’t figure out how to secure their platform. Which means they are a joke of company.

Similar to Google who can’t figure out how to provide customer service when they employ roughly 119,000 employees. Yes, that’s hundreds of thousands of employees and they haven’t figured out how to provide support when their “bots”, which is really their outsourced India techs that cancel their corporate customer accounts on a whim.

Again, this is Google, that distributes malware on their Google Store for months and years at at a time.

Seriously, the ridiculous interview bullshit we’ve all heard about regarding Google and not one smart person ever recommended taking some of Google’s billions and offering customer service or figuring out how not to distribute malware through their official store.

We shouldn’t forget that Google engineers that have access to everyone’s email have also been caught and it’s only a matter of time before Google gets hacked in the same ways Twitter has.

Anyways, Twitter is a cesspool.

Google is also a cesspool that can’t even get search right these days.

It’s a shame that America has these joke of companies on its soil.

There is a healthy contingency of Google and Twitter employees on HN, so I expect the down votes. However, I know there are a ton of people out there that share my message.
The same often happened when I travelled by train in Ontario (Canada) where the trains shared the line with freight service, and so sometimes a train was poorly timed such that it always had to wait for freight to clear first. In those cases, if a train was delayed, the delay occurred at the station such that by the time the train left the station, the freight had already cleared and the time spent on the train was less than it normally would be. Also, delays often meant the train had fewer passengers, so it would stop for less time at each stop... am I on the right track? ;-)

There is a visceral pleasure in the "bigness" of it. The roar of 4 engines, how it stood far above all the smaller jets, like you are in a semi truck in the middle of the road surrounded by compact sedans. More economical planes are awesome and clearly the way forward, but it does not have the same sensual feel as something bigger or faster or louder. It is too abstract.
I don't know if it's still around but there was a company that ran dinner flights on DC3s in Los Angeles for nostalgia.

You say, “what’s really happening” and then follow up with generalizing all local governments as the same and all protestors as rioters, so I’ll assume your post isn’t very sincere.

But I’d like a sincere response: What difference does it make what they did if they were apprehended by unidentifiable officers? That’s the topic at hand - the fact that police are apprehending people in ways that are not identifiably different from kidnappings.
>People sharing videos of this share either selectively edited videos without context OR they only share the ending part where they are arrested and not the part where they were instigating violence in the peaceful protests.

I'm not sure the video that you've linked is any better. It's basically someone dismissing it saying they were bad people who deserved it. It adds zero information.
so... what percentage of humanity are you purporting your description there covers ;p
> It seems likely that Trump will not win a reelection this November

Don't get all confident about this. Lots of "secret" Trump voters have become angry at the MSM/Dems and are gaming the polls that say Biden will win.
I agree that this article is short on details. It has a statement about what, but it doesn't mention how, or any manner of why. I do not like it.

Same. Or how they were picked. I kept scratching my head all evening cause I haven't made any updates or contributions to mine in quite a while.
This is really cool. How did you come up with this technique?
At some point people become enough of a liability that we collectively as a society have authorized the restriction of their rights.

This is a literally subversive movement. I'm not exaggerating or choosing a side. Watch the livestreams yourself - these people explicitly seek to subvert, dismantle, and replace modern "power structures" (intentionally left vague).

Whether you agree with what these people think they're fighting for, the system has safeguards against such insurrection.
It has gotten worse, but increasingly the more I dig into old media the more I understand it's been around for a long time. That said, the explosion of the internet as a new branch of old media in particular has gotten worse as the oligarchs catch up.
None of what you said matters and here's why.

It doesn't matter who they're arresting and for what reason. They should announce who they are, using marked vehicles and properly arrest them if they have actually committed a crime.

Because otherwise, what's stopping someone from dressing up in military garb and straight up abducting someone? How do you know they're even part of the federal law enforcement and not actually someone taking advantage of the situation to commit crimes as well?
Local law enforcement have been arresting violent and non-violent protestors alike throughout the last few months, I’m not sure where you are getting the idea that they haven’t been.
Having worked in Django a lot I actually quite like big UserProfile models, they're significantly easier to manage at scale than several (often overlapping) smaller models. The migrations are less tedious, and it's easy to see "everything" for a given user in one place.

> Is it true or not that Huawei wanted to use HiSilicon for all of their phones? That is obviously true.

"Wanted to" is not the same as "does". If TSMC wanted to preserve a potential growth market for their fab, they'd prioritize Huawei/HiSilicon. But they don't, because they're at capacity making chips for western designers already. So they can kill off the Huawei business without worry, because it's not costing them anything. Free PR.
Is there any limit on their ability to do this?
There is a new reason that probably didn't exist back then, the application/cms powering the old pages has been replaced and it would be a massive effort to get the old pages working on the same urls they did before.

I think archive.org is the better long term plan. Not only does it preserve urls forever, it also preserves the content on them.
I recently interviewed for both Shopify and Hashicorp. Their technical assessment were clear, not tricky and allowed for any tools or documentation. The recruiters also explained what to expect at each stages and how to prepare. I didn’t make it through either but it didn’t leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
Like you are a billionaire. In the West, as anywhere, the poor people have little due process rights in practice, and the rich depend far more on power than process for protection.

The government has many "legal" means to "take everything away" from someone, including taking away their means of doing business or their access to power, running stories to defame them, using threats of tax issues, fraud, sexual crimes, national security violation, and other means of control. Sound familiar?

If you think human nature is different because there is some scrap of paper from two hundred years ago you may be sorely disappointed when trying to redeem on your protections and rights, which it sounds like you've never had to do. This, mind you, is the same scrap of paper that claims all men are created equal.

> who aren’t near federal property, nor is it clear that all of the people being arrested have engaged in criminal activity

That's misleading. They are being recorded while they are being violent within the peaceful protests. They are being arrested when they leave because Feds don't want to disrupt the peaceful protests - so they arrest them when they leave the area. I have watched a few videos of this happening and all of them have the person in not just all black but also with a helmet, tools to break windows and baseball bats.

Here's one example where the dude who got arrested has a helmet on. Why's that needed in peaceful protests? Also note the thing he has on his left side. That's an attachment to break car windows:

Constructive feedback can be positive.

"Hey GEBBL, you did a really good job on that project. It was great that you focused on the end-to-end problem, and not just the main part that PM asked for. This is something you're better at than some other members on your team -- do you think you could help me keep an eye out during design reviews for gaps along these lines?"

It can also be useful to use a related positive to explain a negative.

"Hey GEBBL, you're usually a good speaker, so I thought you'd want to know that I found your presentation this week a little hard to follow. I think it would have been easier to follow with a high-level overview like the one you included at the beginning of last week's."

You can, of course, look at people's weaknesses to find opportunities for improvement, but you can also look at people's strengths. I think think the best feedback is not only constructive, but also motivating and actionable.

For more difficult feedback to navigate, you should be able to funnel it through a manager. "Hey GEBBL's manager, I noticed that GEBBL checked in a change yesterday without testing it properly. It's not a major thing, but I know you're looking for opportunities to give GEBBL constructive feedback." (If you're going to do this, I suggest trying to do it in a balanced way; share positive feedback too so that it's clear you're not complaining all the time.)

This thread is a bit confusing to me. Have we moved past layered security for some reason?

The purpose of a VPN was never supposed to be the authentication layer to internal services. It's just a layer of security that makes it more difficult to carry out some types of attacks; thus increasing security defenses of an organization. Assuming that it has been breached is good practice, but doesn't mean that there's no point to it.... Unless layered security has been overturned?
