> The 1959 law on which the regulations are based already required employers to disclose the hiring of such consultants. But the Labor Department argued that previous administrations had allowed an enormous loophole that effectively exempted consultants who coached supervisors on how to influence employees so long as the consultants didn’t interact with the employees directly.
But won't they just hire the same people as "workforce relationship consultants who are TOTALLY not anti-union"? Isn't there an infinite supply of loopholes here?
It's advocating for a particular new kind of PRNG, but it also includes a lot of great explanations and citations for more reading.
I think a lot of it boils down to, sometimes you really really don't want to care about unicode. Linux filenames are one thorny issue - Linux thinks of them as strings of bytes, and a tool is broken if it can't also deal with them that way. Py3 makes it very difficult to do that correctly. There are also issues with stdin/out being opened as unicode vs byte streams.
For web development, the "unicode sandwich" (http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html) works great in my experience. However, I can see his point that for some kinds of tasks, Py3 is unambiguously a downgrade.

* Content Neutrality: Content blocking software should focus on addressing potential user needs (such as on performance, security, and privacy) instead of blocking specific types of content (such as advertising).
* Transparency & Control: The content blocking software should provide users with transparency and meaningful controls over the needs it is attempting to address.
* Openness: Blocking should maintain a level playing field and should block under the same principles regardless of source of the content. Publishers and other content providers should be given ways to participate in an open Web ecosystem, instead of being placed in a permanent penalty box that closes off the Web to their products and services.
