I don't mean to sound harsh, but it does sound like front/ backdoor metaphor is code for filtering people by the social biases that form much of the personal connections and networks you mention.
The effect of remote work, seems to be leveling the entry point for everyone; an advantage for people who got discriminated against before and a disadvantage for people who enjoyed their privilege for far too long.

Unimaginative leadership that didn't trust their teams. Prototyping the 'experience' (mostly happy path) in a design tool, gave them 'visibility' into what the product could become.

I get that this is an upgrade, but it is a 'change' to the configurations that the customer set up their instance with. It would have been outrageous if they opted everyone is without their consent.

Doesn't mean it was not a bad choice of a word to represent the concept. Politicians who create and use these terms are doing it with intent, if it was up to them, they would indeed starve the farmers, you, me and everyone we know.

Farming is also terrible where your parents own their farm, maybe not for your parents who sound like are no longer farming. You should ask their employees, i.e., the actual farmers.
Ask HN: How would you verify the number of active users of any social network?
Many of the social media giants derive their value from the number of active users and the content they create. Fake/ bot users are common across the board, but how do we know how many 'real' active users are actually there?

Skimmed, didn't read.
Iran is not an Arab nation. Iranians do not speak Arabic.
The publication doesn't sound objective.
From the 'About' page:
"The Middle East Forum, a think tank founded in 1994 by Daniel Pipes, promotes American interests in the Middle East and protects Western values from Middle Eastern threats. In the Middle East, we focus on ways to defeat radical Islam; work for Palestinian acceptance of Israel; develop strategies to contain Iran; and deal with advancing anarchy. Domestically, the Forum emphasizes the danger of lawful Islamism; protects the freedoms of anti-Islamist authors, and activists; and works to improve Middle East studies."
The founder of The Middle East Forum, Daniel Pipes (awesome name btw) is a known Islamophobe. https://islamophobianetwork.com/misinformation-expert/daniel...

Read the writer's bio before sharing your hot take on the article.
"Kristen R. Ghodsee, a professor of Russian and East European studies at the University of Pennsylvania, is the author of numerous books on European Communism and its aftermath, including, most recently, “Red Hangover: Legacies of 20th-Century Communism.”
This is an essay in the series Red Century, about the history and legacy of Communism 100 years after the Russian Revolution."

The fact you felt compelled enough to pose such a question shows a certain bias in the community that warrants efforts to empower and amplify minorities within the community.
Re:Ask HN: Do you carry a backpack? Which one?

https://www.incase.com/shop/bags/incase-icon-pack/black/
Bought my first one in 2007 and the zipper only gave out last year. Bought the current version soon thereafter.
I ride the bus and I love the side pockets that give me easy access to my pass. I pack a laptop, two books on average and a lunch. There are all kinds of isolated compartments for things like legal documents, battery packs, and e-readers without opening the main two compartments. The laptop has its own compartment. There's little pocket on the very top for your phone.
I don't think this bag can compete with others when it comes to storage space, but it will take the best of them when it comes to user experience. The placement of some of these pockets/ compartments is very well thought out.

Not only the 'West', the 'East' itself is desensitized to violence in the middle-east. It's normal to see newspapers there going out of their way to show bloody and gruesome imagery to reflect how "this is more violent than the last violent thing".
In a nutshell: Bombings, assassinations and airstrikes are business as usual in Beirut/anywhere else in the middle-east and that's why no one is shocked.
