No they won't, because the mapping between "English letters" and many other languages is not in general one-to-one. In Japanese, the pair of kanji Romanized as senko, for example, has 22 distinct kanji readings. That's 22 different pairs of kanji, representing totally distinct words, that are pronounced the same way. Because the spoken language is so simple in comparison to the semantic complexity of the characters imported from China, when Japanese are having an intellectual conversation it is common to see the dialog stop so one party can trace a character on the palm of his hand, clarifying the intended spelling.

i don't get it. I see all your fancy characters. how would unicode help with that?
Because those characters you see are the lucky ones. Many other characters used in European languages, like Norse thorn, are not reproducible. What if you need to stick in a kanji or a Cyrillic word?
"I'd be happy if moderators learned the difference between sarcasm, humor, making valid point and actual troll / flamebait and didn't get their undies inappropriately bunched."
It may be an old joke here, but if we had actual mod categories for -1, I Disagree and -1, This Violates My Religious Principles, much abuse of the existing categories could be avoided.
I don't see eliminating AC as having anything to do with censorship. It would simply cause all comments to be owned by the person who posted them Assume, worst-case, that every troll just registers a throwaway account purely for one kind of post, and then goes right on trolling. Now that MooCowGuy is posting his drivel under a known name, we can Foe him under the existing system and his comments would accumulate the karma they deserve.
I'm not sure how far we want to go with refining the scale of karma, but the treasured interface doesn't have to change. Just make your karma rating a link, which leads to a breakdown of the overall rating.
The amount of identification that needs to be given up to start an account is so small that anybody with a real insider position somewhere will not be deterred by having to set up a sing;e-purpose Gmail address in order to register here.
And having registered, use-once accounts will be immediately obvious to all. We could even introduce another number to the comment header line: number of posts this account has made, and changing the existing AC filter to being able to filter on this count. No having to tunnel into posting history to identify throwaway accounts. Too much clutter in the comment header, you say? Then replace that numeric ID, which people use only for venerable-user bragging rights. My new post count would be a better view of the same information.
"ACs also don't want to be mass down moderated just because someone had to be the adult in the room and state the obvious or wanted to play devil's advocate in order to explore different ends of a position."
This is a genuine problem, but he who builds enough karma can afford to burn some of it doing exactly that.
Yes, a soupçon of Unicode support would be a boon to those of us who wish to drop in the occasional pretentious foreign phrase, name-drop our visit to Düsseldorf or Tromsø, or bring up El Niño for the umpteenth time.
My own leading suggestion: no more AC posting, including from registered users. Let us all be known by our posting histories. Next, modding and posting in replies to the same article should be allowable, so long as it's not in the same thread.
An Edit button, usable until a post is replied to or modded, would also be nice.
All of which side effects are much worse when we fire the hybridization shotgun, mixing and matching many genes at once. Which is why we have never been able to apply this traditional technique to human diseases of the type referenced here. When we hybridize plants we can just toss out the culls. But with genetic engineering, we have a whole new class of disease treatments we never had before.
The whole point of using GMO technology in an application like this is the 'exceptional specificity' cited in the article.
"The primary advantage of CRISPR over previous technologies is the ability to use a genetic scalpel rather than a sledgehammer," said Charles Gersbach, associate professor of biomedical engineering at Duke University.

But what increment of anonymity does AC offer that our screen names don't?

I have no objection to ugliness. It's what you say that counts.

As opposed to how joyously Slashdotters receive the smallest change to that 1998 style.
Some paywalled sites allow direct linking to articles. These should be exempt from the nuke-from-orbit order.

If you're going to do landings on a small, rocking barge, any chance of getting a capture system on the barge to reduce complexity of the first stage?

Never insult rap guys when you're about to be sent to PMITA prison.
The next news: "Hawaiian natives block the James Webb telescope because it desecrates the heavens".
But in space nobody can hear you protest.
In any case, by then Hawaii will have legalized pot and the anti-astronomy protests will have vanished. Trump won't even have to send tanks.
I mentioned this yesterday, but in case you didn't see the post: Chrome with AdBlock. Forbes lets you right on through.
