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.

Amazon Restaurants 10 years ago

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.

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.

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.

Frankly, I don't feel like Reddit's quality has changed altogether too much since even before Digg v4 killed Digg.

There was definitely a period where the average quality of a comment seemed higher. But those times also coincided with the rise of novelty accounts, power user personalities, often with foul sounding names and awful subreddits. Drama over subreddit bannings is nothing new, either.

Honestly, I'm enjoying the website more today now than I was a few years ago.

Which, I suppose, is the same thing the people say about The Simpsons.

When updates are free, what are the realistic alternatives? Android devices, for example, just reach end of life much more quickly. Given the option to update at the expense of performance or no option at all, it at least seems the better of the two choices.

Hey Jorge,

Looks like Lukas might have missed your response but I can jump in. We definitely love to work with the little guys, too. Nothing is more interesting than the use cases that academics and startups come up with. You should reach out to Lukas via e-mail (he shared it elsewhere in this thread) or our sales team (http://www.crowdflower.com/platform-plans) to talk specifics.

We've also got a trial that will let you process 5,000 rows of data without having to worry about a paid plan. It's not time limited, either, so you can take as long as you need to go through those first 5,000 photos of yours.

You might want to check out a recent blog post up about a photo keyword gen job run by one of the guys at CF: http://www.crowdflower.com/blog/how-i-got-the-crowd-to-gener...
