Making a reply to say you won’t make a reply because a reply you make could be downvoted does not really follow. Can folk who disagree with you not just now downvote this reply, both for political disagreements but also wasting everyone’s time?

It sounds like your issue is not that the browser is promoting a moral view but rather that it’s promoting one in conflict with the moral view you think it should be promoting.

Facebook would need to hire around 2.489 million moderators to meet a 1:1k ratio. Even at 1:10k, you’re looking at increasing the size of the company six-fold.

Are there crimes that are “juvenile actions”? Would adults who commit them be tried as juveniles given that it is a juvenile action?

Most of us on here are in tech rather than psychiatry and not fit to make a call on whether someone is a psycopath, especially from a single article about them that doesn’t really focus on their mental state.

That is not what the person you replied to what the person you replied to said and you know that.

Intentionally misconstruing what others say is something best left for Reddit.

Same model laptop but I'm stuck spinning counter-clockwise instead of panning up.

I think the parent's worry deals with cases like we've seen with Google and other large companies where automated systems sometimes get inappropriately triggered and customer support is either ineffectual or non-existent until the user is able to make a viral stink on social media (think malicious/bad copyright flags on youtube causing channels to get demonetized). With reviews, the restaurant theoretically at least has a reasonable deal of influence in most cases.

Sure -- but typically the result of defaulting on a loan is not debtor's prison unless you happen to still be living in 1820.

IIRC, it was not fixed at release for Excel for Mac 2016 but there is now an option to Save As a "CSV UTF-8 (Comma Separated)".

Has this feature decreased safety? Tesla's first fatality came after 130 million autopilot miles whereas traditions in the US, we have one fatality every 90 million miles. If that continues to hold, this seems to be significantly safer with it's own set of caveats. Not altogether different than getting stuck in a burning car due to your seatbelt.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to suggest that a solution which results in the vast majority of true members of a class being unable to prove their membership is not really an improvement.

This seems like a ... sidegrade.

Interesting.

Although, if housing in Boston tends to be of lower quality than SF housing, might that not put extra demand on the more recent and presumably nicer housing?

Not really - Paypal was doing it via their browser toolbar ages ago, back when toolbars were still a thing. They stopped offering this functionality back in 2009, I think. That said, it's not particularly common at US banks despite being a horrifically useful feature (Bank of America has it, but I'm not aware of anyone else).

I'm excited that I can hop on and use Privacy but it seems like it's more of a feature than a product.

Sure - but I think it's always been the expectation that Uber/Lyft/Sidecar before it went bellyup were participating in the sharing economy only as a stopgap until autonomous cars are available.

With Airbnb, I don't think anyone expects them to pivot into owning their own property. There's no real benefit.
