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.


No my issue is exactly that the browser is promoting a moral view.

You are somewhat right on a meta level: I think a browser should promote the moral view that it shouldn't promote any moral view in particular.


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.


I gave 1:1K as just a random number, I don't know how much it would actually need. I'd expect it to be much lower. Maybe like 1:50k or less.

What exactly is the problem you're pointing to? Are you saying Facebook couldn't afford to pay that many mods? Note that they don't have to be employees or in Facebook offices...


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.


Now I'm back in the office with a wired in mouse, it's working fine.


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.


Yes. I was commenting to what the parent commenter wrote. He/she seems to think strategic defaults are immoral.


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)".


That's amazing. Finally.

I don't suppose I should get my hopes up too much that that option is going to be more prominent than the terrible default of saving as Mac OS Roman, right? (Whoever decided that Excel on OS X should export CSVs in an obsolete encoding for Mac OS Classic must have been trying to hurt Mac users.)


I tried it out on Office 2016/365/15.25 whatever on OS X. It works when writing data out. That's great news! And they also put it high up in the possible formats to output.

Unfortunately, to open the UTF-8 file again, it doesn't work ("北京市"). You have to make a new workbook and then import the csv in, specifying UTF-8 csv. It's pretty messed up but at least it's possible now.
