The two democratic front-runners have solutions for this:

* strengthen union membership (union jobs pay an average of 13% better for the same work, and that's with union membership at an all-time low in the US),
* reduce the ability of money-holding industries like these people to extract so much (like what Elizabeth Warren's CFPB has been doing, even with current meddling from the administration),
* contain costs for the most expensive things in American life (health care -- some sort of universal coverage plan, and education -- student debt forgiveness and cheaper education options),
* raising the minimum wage (which, had it tracked productivity in the US and not left unchanged since the 90s, would now be something like $20 an hour)

that's off the top of my head.

Andrew Yang has his "freedom dividend" which, the more you get into the weeds, the less of a benefit it'll seem to have, but that's even another idea.

These are all ideas floated in opposition to the current administration, which wants to weaken unions, keeps fiddling with even the shitty Obamacare to take health care back to the bad old days, and so on.

So, people are talking about it, and have plans drawn on what other countries are doing more successfully -- no real reason they wouldn't work here, except for the historical baggage and pulling-up-the-ladder that dominates US political discourse.
It's there because of the kind of partner agreement ISVs have with the cloud provider. There are two things at play:
1) How does the cloud provider know what the ISV is selling, in order to credit them for it (discounts, incentives, program membership, etc)?

2) How do the sales reps get paid on related deals? This goes both ways: the ISV's reps get paid regardless but they need a way to tag the cloud-based deal in their own CRM, and the cloud sales reps need to be able to get paid base on the ISV partner's cloud deals, and that's really hard unless there is a concrete way to relate the ISV's sales deal to cloud consumption associated with the end customer.

One of the ways to do this is on the front end via deployment tracking (like this Terraform ID). Another way is to do it on the back end through billing account linkages. In any case, the end customer shouldn't really care one way or another -- these are just mechanisms to ensure the partner relationship between ISV and hyperscaler is well understood.
If the de-anonymizing data exists at all, then the anonymized data was never truly anonymized in the first place.

Time and again people think that when they have a problem it must mean the punishment was not severe enough. It won't work.

The problem is that good science is not rewarded enough. Nobody rewards you for having published reliable stuff five years ago.
Does Bazel break up these steps automatically under the hood?

It could, in theory.
I'm trying to wrap my head around whether Bazel is worth looking into for the kind of work loads I typically work in. There doesn't seem like that much benefit if you have single language code base and especially if you already have a single build.

I suppose I see the benefit of this setup if you keep many libraries and want to pin to the latest instead of, an explicit lib version. If you're in a multi-repo system you're probably not doing this but I can see how Bazel could actually make this possible.

Can someone shed some light on the CI story? Can Bazel do code deployment as well? Is that a smart thing to do with Bazel?

There isn't text coding. The problem stems from the Microsoft-centric design of USB modifiers — there is no true AltGr code, so they have the convention (at the OS level) that left Alt is always Alt and right Alt is sometimes AltGr. A few early converters didn't grasp that left and right versions of the same modifier key could have different meanings, because nobody in their right mind would do that.

> Of course hiring a car for a weekend costs a couple of hundred quid, but realistically you're going to do that what, ten times a year at most?

Nice. The “at most” is an interesting rhetorical (and grossly dishonest) trick you used there.
Yes but there is a hundred megabytes of system behind that. Tens of thousands of lines of starlark code, and tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of lines of java code besides.

A lot of work goes into those 4 lines. This is evidenced by the simple question of, how do you set up a custom compiler for that code properly? The answer being a couple hundred lines of starlark code, for what in other build systems is effectively `CC=clang` (to be fair bazel allows this but does not support or encourage it, especially for anything besides toy builds).

I like Bazel (a lot!) but you are oversimplifying it here.

If screen reader accessibility was the only thing holding us back from a WYSIWYG dream, I would advocate just maintaining separate content-only versions of all pages.

I don't think that's actually where we are though. As you touch on, code is inherently necessary in order to build responsive pages. A static layout will never know how to reflow itself when the window size changes; it needs code to define that behavior.

Well, I agree (if you include the router in that). I never asserted otherwise. In fact, this is how I've implemented my NAT.
What dataset has this information? I haven't personally gotten a payday loan, but I don't think they ask what the money is going to be used for.
The idea that 24/7 minute-by-minute location data can somehow truly be "anonymized" is beyond ridiculous. It's easy for any organization (or even a single researcher who has cash to spend) to deanonymize it by merging w any number of other datasets that are available for purchase.

"Anonymizing" this kind of data is really just saying "for some of these users, it'll be somewhat expensive to unmask them. for others it will be trivial."

If it's a referral code at the account level, then you can't easily have multiple providers supplying tools for the client. Whereas, if it's part of the deployment itself, the utilization of one partner tool can be distinguished over another.

Or in other words, the "cut of the revenue" needs to be in proportion to the usage of Azure resources generated by the partner tool. I think that's why its designed this way.

This isn't true, talk to folks in downtown Seattle. Anecdotally, I have a group of 5 that rents a car to go hiking about every other weekend. Splitting $70 between 5 people twice a month beats buying a car by... a lot. Know tons of others that do this.

Anonymizing does not mean that it has to be one-way. You can give other people an anonymized version of your data, but you can keep the key to deanonymize that data (and hand it out selectively). I don't know who is assuming that anonymizing means the information has to be thrown away and lost to EVERYONE.

Some folks are blowing this out of proportion:

1. Adobe announced Flash's EOL by the end of 2020. Google isn't killing Flash, it's already dead.

2. Indexing Flash means parsing site structure embedded within SWF files. When was the last time you saw a website with Flash navigation? Your SWF web games are embedded in normal webpages that will still be searchable via H1 tags, backlinks, and so on.

I don't miss the vulnerabilities that came with Flash, but I do miss the ease of creating animations, training, games, etc. that came with Flash.

Back in the day I worked with a team that created training modules for products. We had a team of animators that was creating beautiful stuff. We had a cast of characters, voice talent, the whole shebang. It was very popular, especially in Asia where they loved the animated training.

Then the iPad came out. Our customers informed us that they were going to adopt the iPad for their on the floor training. Well, the iPad didn't support Flash so we had to rebuild everything to be HTML/CSS/JS only. It has been nearly 10 years and we are still using plain text, images, and the occasional video. We tried bringing back the interactive animations over the years, but nothing has come out that comes anywhere close to working as well as Flash did. It really sucks that despite nearly a decade no Flash replacement has emerged. I really feel like we lost something when Flash died. Interactive animations have been replaced with youtube videos and boring text and image web pages.

Ask HN: Thoughts on the 4 tech bills making the rounds on the US senate?
On July 2018, US Senator Mark Warren released a whitepaper[0] discussing 20 topics for potential tech regulation. In 2019, Warren and others introduced four technology regulation bills along the lines discussed in the whitepaper. I highly recommend reading the original bill texts, they are short and easy to read.

[1] S.2658 - ACCESS Act of 2019
It require communications platforms with 100M monthly active users in the US to make their services interoperable with other platforms. The bill presumes that platforms using open protocols already (like email) are fine. Facebook and it’s messenger platform is likely to be the only one meeting the threshold.

[2] S.1951 - DASHBOARD Act

It applies to online platforms or data brokers with over 100M monthly users in the United States for most months over the last year, and says they should disclose a lot of information about the user data they hold.

[4] S.1578 - Do Not Track Act
It says that the FTC must implement a DNT system that defines a standard for devices, websites and services to send and receive DNT requests, and develop an app for users to send DNT requests.

[5] S.1084 - DETOUR Act
It says that large online operators (defined as services with more than 100M monthly active users anywhere, not just in the US) may not use misleading interfaces or unclear wording to mislead the user. It also says that they can only conduct behavioral experiments.

> They injected 581 lines of JavaScript code, resulting in a total of 48.5kb data resulting in additional data towards my data cap, as well as my page becoming interactive ~250ms slower. This means that even though my internet is faster than before, my computer performs worse when utilizing Xfinity internet.

I get the complaints, it sucks, it degrades the internet experience. But come on. This is the most contrived complaint I can think of. You get at least, what, 40GB of data a month? Please tell me about how using 0.0000048% of your data cap is affecting you. You used more data writing this blog post than that javascript code would use in 10 years.

>Also you always have to decide, do I want to/can I spend 50 Euros today just to go hiking? Or you know you could use your own car. Yes it also costs money but its way less and more spread out.

That sounds like someone with very stupid money management. Unfortunately, this is probably the norm.

You're surely spending many hundreds of dollars/Euros per month to own and operate a private vehicle: loan, fuel, insurance, maintenance, repairs. If you go hiking every single weekend, that's 200 Euros (according to you), which still should be cheaper than owning a car. Most likely, you're not going to rent a car every weekend. So it should be pretty obvious that you'll come out way ahead if you sell your car and just rent a car for those occasional weekend hiking trips.

>I live in one of those european cities. ... We have public transport but its depressing and annoying and also expensive.

What city is that? The German cities I've visited had very inexpensive public transit, especially if you got multi-day (or longer) passes, which anyone living there probably would.

Anecdotal experience from NYC here:

Owning a cheap car is way less expensive than renting a ZipCar. My car's only cost beyond gas was insurance. And my insurance was cheaper than renting a ZipCar for one weekend.

Obviously it depends on the car you own, but ZipCar's here can certainly be more expensive and more inconvenient than owning.
It depends on the statement. For most statements that matter, I think it's probably easier to do fact checking than a political litmus.
