This is just insane to treat children and people like this.
It has always been nearly impossible to comprehend how the Nazis could put children on trains and send them to concentration camps. How could those actions be tolerated by the world and how could the Nazis be so cold and heartless. It's hard to wrap you mind around how it all happened. Well, you're seeing it happen before your eyes right now.
You have a president that is ordering this to be done. You have people that have been put into positions with unlimited power and no repercussions. You have elected officials that blatantly lie (propaganda system). You have a fear based system that prevents people from resisting. You have people of power and wealth (e.g. Tim Cook) that benefit from what's taking place, which further supports and enables the president's actions.
No this isn’t what the Nazis did. Comparisons like that are ridiculous.
The Nazi took members of ethnic minorities and put them into death camps and massacred them in horrible ways.
Comparing the deportation of illegal immigrants (illegals immigrants can be of any ethnic or religious background) with the industrial mass murder of entire ethnic groups? That’s an absurd comparison.
I agree that what happened to the young girl in the article was messed up but your comparison is still ridiculous.
EDIT: After I posted this comment, many people replied to me disagreeing with me. Rather than reply individually to each person I’ll just edit this comment and say what I have to say here.
There is a gigantic difference between deporting people who are in a country illegally vs targeting people for discrimination based on ethicality and/or religion.
The Nazis targeting ethnic minorities and placed them into labor camps. Which later became death camps.
That’s different than placing illegal immigrants who violated immigration laws (and once again I repeat include people of every ethnicity and every religion) into facilities to later be deported.
If people were being thrown into labor camps in America just for their ethnicity that would be akin to the nazis. But people are being deported for violating immigration laws and are being placed into facilities to facilitate the deportation. Illegal immigrants I repeat again and again can be members of any ethnicity or religion. The Nazis placed people into labor camps because of their ethnicity and later murdered them.
Furthermore many legally immigrant groups and ethnic minorities in America such as the Latinos in South Texas and South Florida voted for Trump specifically so he could pursue these immigration policies.
I agree these policies have gone too far though. What happened to the little girl in this article was messed up.
It's not an unfair comparison. They are building concentration camps. We hope they don't turn into death camps. If you read other investigations you'll find that people are dying in these detention centers (concentration camps).
> Then it was 42 hours of waiting in the airport holding rooms. Eventually they were put on a plane — then a minivan — to the facility in Texas. Maria Antonia said she didn’t really understand where they were going until they saw the center out the window.
No one is disputing the severity of Nazi brutality. However, there were several other types of camps we can compare the Dilly TX center to: Internierungslager, Durchgangslager, and Schutzhaftlager.
These are not concentration nor death camps, but Nazi camps all the same. It's important to be familiar with all of history and not dismiss a comparison because it doesn't fit the most extreme version that we know. How close do you think the Dilly TX center is in it's operation to these other types of Nazi camps? In which ways are they similar or different? Does that change anything?

(Actually I think I’ll edit my original comment to include this reply as well since many other people replied to me as well. Better that than reply to each person.)
Maybe we're seeing the same events under different motivational lenses.
I find it very difficult to believe that there is not an ethinic component to the events we are witnessing. Groups are not homogenous in their beliefs or desires. It's kind of telling when we start treating groups like South Texas or South Florida Latinos as if they have some homogenous view.
so why are they almost exclusively focused on brown immigrants vs European ones? why aren't they going after wealthy white business owners who employ undocumented immigrants? why are they going after immigrants who are here legally or are following the legal procedures? why have citizens been pulled into their unconstitutional dragnet? why aren't they providing decent food or health care to people in custody? why are there reports of sexual assault by employees in detention centers?
you are being extremely naive if you think white supremacy isn't motivating these actions.
> The Nazi took members of ethnic minorities and put them into death camps and massacred them in horrible ways.
It was a process over almost 10 years to get to that. Before they were rounding up people to be deported, when it became an issue too large to process deportations the labour camps were next, so on and so forth until gas chambers and industrial murder became the final solution.
If you think the parallel is ridiculous, think again.
I’m waiting to find out that experimentations are being done on humans in ICE detention centers. It won’t be all of them of course but it will happen in at least one. The Germans supporting Hitler would never have believed it, but the exact same mindset is running the show here. Just a matter of time.
The Nazis didn’t start by massacring ethnic (and political, sexual, and religious) minorities. They started by massacring mentally handicapped people.
But then they made noises about getting rid of undesirable people by shipping them out of the country. Prior to that plenty of dehumanizing rhetoric that Trump and others eerily echo. It was only after the forced deportations didn’t pan out that ghettos started. Then detention camps. And finally extermination centers.
It’s very reasonable to look events which appear similar to the start of genocides and decry them.
We operate a postgres service on Firecracker. You can create as many databases as you want, and we memory-snapshot them after 5 seconds of inactivity, and spin them up again in 50ms when a query arrives.
Many questions on their forum are similar to our situation. People wondering if they should restart their containers to get things working again. Worried about if they should do anything, risk losing data if they do anything, or just give everything more time.
Affected by the outage since about 6:15 AM PT this morning. We're still down as of 9:00 AM PT.
Our existing containers were in a failure state and are now are in a partial failure state. Containers are running, but underlying storage/database is offline.

I'm glad Railway updated their status page, but more details need to be posted so everyone knows what to do now.
Everyone has outages, it's the way of life and technology. Communication with your customers always makes it less painful and people remember good communication and not the outage. Railway, let's start hearing more communication. Forum is having problems as well. Thanks.
Heard. Being transparent, usually the delay on ack is us trying to determine and correlate the issue. We have a post mortem going out but we note that first report was in our system 10 minutes before it was acked, to which the platform team was trying to see which layer the impact was at.
That said, this is maybe concern #1 of the support team. Where we want the delta between report and customer outage detected to be as small as possible. The way it usually works is that we have the platform alarms and pages go first, and then the platform engineer usually will page a support eng. to run communications.
Usually the priority is to have the platform engineer focus on triaging the issue and then offload the workload to our support team so that we can accurately state what is going on. We have a new comms clustering system that rolling out so that if we get 5 reports with the similar content, it pages up to the support team as well. (We will roll this out after we communicated with affected customers first.)
In situations like this, please dedicate at least one team member to respond as quickly as possible to the Railway Help Station posts. That's where your customers are going for communication and support.
They’re concentration camps. What else do you call a place built to hold tens of thousands of people? Why do you need 75,000 beds if you’re not planning to cram people in?
Then what happens after they’re locked in there? Are they processed one by one? Do the math. Even with absurdly optimistic assumptions of one hour per person, eight hours a day, every single day. You’re still talking about more than a year to get through 75,000 people. And that assumes perfect efficiency, no delays, no shortages, no illness.
While all that’s happening, people will get sick, injured, desperate. People will die. And after someone is “processed,” where do they go? Immediately put on a plane and sent back to their home country? Is that realistically happening at scale?
This setup isn’t about processing people. It’s about warehousing them. And when large numbers of people are caged indefinitely under those conditions, deaths get written off as “suicides.”
Thankfully the responses weren’t outright dismissive, which is usually the case in these situations.
It was thought to be a local compromise and nothing to do Notepad++.
Good lessons to be learned here. Don’t be quick to dismiss things simply because it doesn’t fit what you think should be happening. That’s the whole point. It doesn’t fit, so investigate why.
Most tech support aims to prove the person wrong right out the gate.
