The instructions should be clearer as to whether the engine is visible at all times or only accessed in the case of a challenge. Seems like it would be a hassle to do this except in a mode where the engine is visible at all times...

“Algorithmic recommendation service providers shall actively disseminate positive energy, and promote the application of algorithms to be good.”... Are free and fair elections "good"? Is one party rule the best guarantee for "positive energy"? This is so ridiculous coming from a non-democracy...

If you keep the javascript, you also get the world's most portable (desktop) application format...

Writing something like: “Shanghai is highly livable.” means one considers adult citizenship without proper voting rights to be acceptable. This is an endorsement of tyranny. How “livable” is Shanghai to its residents when they ask for an end to one-party rule?

You want the long form? Fine… Writing something like: “Shanghai is highly livable.” means you consider adult citizenship without proper voting rights to be acceptable. This is an endorsement of tyranny. How “livable” is Shanghai to its residents when they ask for an end to one-party rule?

Pointing out the lack of Democracy in China is hardly a “shallow” dismissal.

Maybe he’s right about the lockdown but I must raise an Anti-vaxxer alert. FWIW.

My point is simply that TSVs are just as straightforward as CSVs but suffer none of the issues. So why are we not making TSVs to begin with?

TSV --> Problem Solved! Has anyone ever stumbled upon a cell entry that needed to contain an actual tab character? No!!! The tab character's entire raison-d'etre is to separate fields, whereas the comma separates words. Technically the "C" in CSV denotes "Character" but with TSV the intent is 100% clear.

Classic libertarian fallacy: “every resource should be managed by markets and every problem solved by the marketplace”. Except, the Internet is not a commodity, it’s infrastructure: it’s not a car, it’s the road. For consumer fluff — sure, go the libertarian route (“shop around”), but for things that really matter, like infrastructure and healthcare, don’t look for trivial market-based solutions…
