Rewrite or Rebuild? The 5 Biggest Things to Consider When Reimagining a Product
At what point are you remarkable enough to lose the right to be forgotten? What counts as being in the public eye? Do you have to desire to be in the public eye?

How do you manage the case of an unremarkable person removing something, then becoming remarkable enough to lose that right?
The logic fails on this premise:

> On the other hand, from the view of an individual that has done something wrong at some point in his or her life and that has through either a fine or a jail sentence paid their debt to society it is kind of annoying that they’ve been declared pretty much un-employable by google or one of their lesser competitors.

The error here is in the behaviour of the society in general. If you use the right to be forgotten as the correction mean, then you prevent society from evolving and changing this wrong behaviour.

We are entering an era of increasing information, society needs to adapt, and we must allow it to adapt, painful as it may be.
Where I live all the local takeaways use the same website to sell online. You could easily see consolidation of delivery to a single company that then offers extras to the order. It could make takeaway more like room service in a hotel.
I would like to add a few points to the discussion:

* from my experience with the Dutch cookie law, the interpretation is that if you serve or target a Dutch audience, you need to comply; it would only make sense if the same metric is used for the Right to Be Forgotten;

* one interesting moral dilemma I have is whether this right to be forgotten should also apply to the audience in a different country (USA, for example). In other words, when someone from France requests a removal of a search result which was found on a US server, would this still be visible to people from the USA ? I think the answer to this should be yes, according to the laws that currently exist, but would allow someone who really wants to have "unfiltered" results (say, a recruiter) to simply use a VPN or proxy server to circumvent the law.

All in all, an important but difficult topic to discuss.

Damascus Steel is cooler... and probably sharper and stronger.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_steel

Its basically the Katana folds, except you can explicitly see the folds between multiple kinds of steel. Damascus Steel is also the stuff of legends, because it is literally a technique lost to history (although people claimed to have reverse engineered it).

Furthermore, some evidence points that true Damascus Steel had carbon nanotubes and cementite nanowires strengthening the blade (possibly created through the unknown ancient forging process). Not bad for Steel made in the BC eras.

I believe you have the causality backwards, from the societal perspective. The poor are not poor because they have bad habits (addiction, debt, babies, dropouts); rather, they tend to behave in these ways because they are poor. While some individuals can avoid these pitfalls, as a whole, their culture is a symptom of their socioeconomic standing. You would probably be less likely to commit crime if you have a fulfilling job and a successful life, and you would care more about condoms, loan terms, and health if you had more to lose. Being poor means that you live day-to-day, and that affects your ability to think long-term.[1] If we the comfortable observers find their behavior paradoxical, it is because we aren't in the thick of things.

You're right: it seems very difficult to change the mindset of poor people. Fortunately, we "only" need to decrease income inequality, so that lower classes can earn a livable wage. The demographic transition is the perfect analogy, where fertility rates seem to magically drop as countries develop. If we remove the stresses of poverty, the poor will be able to live more effectively.

For the present, you can contribute by donating to charity, or by political advocacy: calling your politicians, voting for politicians who care about these issues, or helping fix campaign finance to level the political playing field.[4]

For the future, we can change quite a bit more. The obvious area is to make education more equitable and effective. For example, school districts are currently funded by taxes determined by housing values. This matters because education opens doors to higher-paying jobs: a PhD is expected to earn $4 million compared to $2.5 million for bachelors (lifetime),[2] and a high-school degree earns 40% less than that ($30k/yr compared to $50k/year).[3] Beyond the statistics, the culture of the poor stems from a lack of awareness of better possibilities or the belief that these better possibilities are unobtainable, so better education could break the cycle by inspiring children and giving them the tools to take control of their lives.

Poor choice of word "survive" there. I meant economically survive in high-priced-water areas such as what California might be if it had a free water market. I agree with you that people a willing and should pay more for luxuries like lawns in the desert.

For drinking, you won't be living there in the first place if you can't afford the water bill, so nobody's going to die of thirst. That, and drinking water is a negligible proportion of water that people use domestically overall.
See the original article for the context. The question is actually if I'd use this:

void labels[] = { &&ADD, &&SUB . . . };
...
goto labels[ vpc++ ];
ADD:
...
goto labels[ vpc++ ];

instead of the plain switch if I'd write an interpreter in C (that's the topic of the article!) for a language that I know will be executed on ARM, AMD, Atom, you name it. The answer is: you bet I'd use the goto labels. That one particular CPU generation doesn't get much speedup from that construct doesn't mean that I want to make all other significantly slower. It's not an excuse and I'm not that lazy under these circumstances. If I would not care for performance that much, I would not even use C.

The fact that Google is unable or unwilling to filter Google.com results for particular countries is not the EU's problem.
That's not true. Even those who are granted asylum have to live in these camps and are not allowed to live in Australia. "You will not make Australia your home."

Also, holding children in prison camps unfit for human habitation, because they have not been granted asylum status, isn't that much better.

Is the woman (who I shall keep unnamed) who tweeted about the people in front of her making jokes remarkable? Are the people she tweeted about remarkable?

Could the people have every single website that has presumably scrape or screenshot twitter delete their archives?

To me, the simplest way to fix this is to throw out the right to be forgotten. Nobody has a right to be forgotten. The simplest implementation may not be the best but at least this is achievable.

QUESTION: Why should you have 'the right to be forgotten'?
Indeed, for many years the Eastern time zone in Australia was shortened to EST (Eastern Standard Time); just like the US Eastern time. With the wider advent of the Internet Australia renamed EST to AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time).
The article brushes aside the major issue with how the French are
trying to enforce this, which is that the French government is
asserting that its law should apply to all global properties of an
international corporation simply because it has a subsidiary operating
in France.

A quote from Google on the matter:

"we respectfully disagree with the idea that a national data
protection authority can assert global authority to control the
content that people can access around the world."

The author brushes this aside with the assertion that:

"search engine results aren’t ‘free speech’ to begin with in my
opinion, they’re re-hashings of someone else’s speech."

And doesn't address the inherent problem with a global company being
subject to the combination of the censorship regulation of all the
countries in which it operates.

What is Saudi Arabia decides to start punishing Google because its
image search shows "revealing" images of women, is that just fine
because search engine results aren't free speech anyway, and any
nation on earth should be able to make laws about search results that
apply globally?
This is a silly argument.

1. Assume false.

2. Anything follows.

For what odd-ball definition of "far reaching" is "anything" not "far reaching"? An assumption doesn't have to be an Axiom to have "far reaching" consequences. Period.

So, you're wrong -- assuming non-foundational axioms can have far reaching consequences. Assumptions are assumptions, and flaws are flaws. Assuming "false" is just as bad as working with an inconsistent foundations. It's just a fact.

That said, the actual difference you're trying to elucidate is sociological, not technical -- you suppose that people are less likely to accept non-foundational assumptions, and so that'll check back something from a sociological viewpoint. You assume people won't build results on top of a system with an unproven assumption thrown in.

That argument would be a lot more compelling if Mathematicians formalized their arguments in terms of an underlying foundations, because then we would always know that all assumptions are checked. But Mathematicians don't work like that. And errors creep in. And if people build on top of those errors, it can be pretty catastrophic.

In short, what matters is that people accept the incorrect fact and move forward from it, NOT whether that incorrectness comes from foundations or from something built on top of them. The impact of either depends entirely upon how many people trust the result and build on top of it.
I know of many contractors in the UK who registered a LTD Company. Since then they have taken permanent jobs so dissolved the company. What's left on the internet if you google their name is their personal details and home addresses. Companies House say there is nothing they can do because the company has been dissolved. However, companies house have sold the data to hundreds of other companies who splatter this private information all over the Internet. These other companies have no processes in place for hiding private information.

IMO this is not acceptable and a good application of the right to be forgotten principle. If companies house were not so greedy in selling the data to companies which employ heavy SEO tactics to get hits, the problem would not exist.
As it says at the beginning, people used to have real lawns and palm trees and so on, so yeah, probably per-capita figures were higher.
The problem with the "right to be forgotten" is it's like a "right to have a nice day." It sounds great in principle and certainly nobody will say that people shouldn't have nice days, but any actual implementation requires the elevation of one person's rights over another. And that's not acceptable.
Technically, because the EU countries are sovereign and can decide what rights their own citizens should have.

*EDIT: wrong word
What is a ‘pre-accelerator’ anyway?
That's not entirely true. Or at least it's more complex than that. Look at what the federal government did in the 1930s. They bought gold at X dollars I believe it was 30 bucks an ounce. They then turned around and raise the price of gold to 33 bucks an ounce. From one perspective the government paid fair market rate, from another perspective they get to dictate fair market rate to at least a certain degree. Theit fiat allows them to have more power over pricing and valuation.

When we look at water rights they can do the same thing. Apparently water is undervalued. This means that the rights to said water are undervalued as well. If the government where to seize the property under eminent domain, they would be seeing it at the undervalued price. At auction they would make the premium of whatever increase they deem necessary to properly value water. They have now made money from a land snatch and grab.
1. Of course it wasn't cyber squatting. Cyber squatting is unlawful in the U.S. and would have lead to a different outcome.

2. Why wasn't there a settlement? I assume either Mr. Nissan didn't want to sell the domains at any price (unlikely but possible) or insisted Nissan pay eleventy bajillion dollars for them, leaving Nissan with court as their best option.
Why wouldn't you (Google) be able to comply globally?

And as I understand it, it wouldn't mean banning, as you mentioned, blasphemy, homosexuality etc. but it's the right to be forgotten for a natural person. E.g. ask to remove certain statements about oneself (in case you are an 'unremarkable' person).

Of course this all is not black and white and details have to be discussed / fighted about.
> We are entering an era of increasing information, society needs to adapt, and we must allow it to adapt, painful as it may be.

I've a nagging feeling that I've misunderstood your post somehow, if so let me apologize in advance for the remainder of my post:

That's exactly what society is doing: adapting. Previously information wasn't as accessible as it is nowadays so society adapted to the new situation, in this particular case by enacting laws that further protect people's privacy.

I don't think that France wants to block the results globally, they just want Google to block the results from French connections. The problem is that Google doesn't block those results if the French user goes to Google.com instead of Google.fr.

Besides, the ruling only applies to information about EU citizens, so a better analogy would be if Saudi Arabia wanted to block revealing images of Saudi women.
Could you elaborate a bit?
indeed there are critical differences regarding certain details like compilation to executables, compile-time time checking, etc. this doesn't mean the purpose can't be the same. it certainly is for many people (developing web sites).
The Right to be Forgotten if enforced globally will create a blackmarket for this type of information.

That's not how the internet work, and you know it. If the only thing standing between me and an uncensored google is a cheap vpn, then the French Courts are meaningless.
> requires the elevation of one person's rights over another. And that's not acceptable.

I'm sorry but that is senseless. Elevating certain rights over others is effectively the basis of any society. To use a crass example: it's widely accepted that your right to not be assaulted is elevated over another's right to assault you.

Sorry for the hijack, but am in a different boat of confusion. I have 6 years experience in tech and I've been offered an L1 to transfer to Bay Area with a salary of 145k USD along with a comprehensive medical insurance.

I am not really sure if I should be taking this up considering the ridiculous cost of living in the Bay. Also, I don't know how much I'll be saving at the end of 2 years considering the fact that my wife will be travelling along with me (she doesn't have a STEM degree).

Although there are these cost of living calculators they just take into account a lifestyle that is 'just enough' to get by.
> * from my experience with the Dutch cookie law, the interpretation is that if you serve or target a Dutch audience, you need to comply; it would only make sense if the same metric is used for the Right to Be Forgotten;

The first question is going to be "or else what?". Outside of the USA, Ireland and the UK, firms are going to simply choose not to operate there; but due to the nature non-discriminatory nature of the internet, their services will be available there anyway.
There's not much that (e.g.) the Dutch government can do, and trying to fight it with blocking will just end up turning themselves into some sort of internet backwater; which I don't think anyone wants.
What Negative Thinking Does to Your Brain
Looking for families to test Beta social network for kids and adults
This whole concept is ludicrous.

I can understand why it appeals to people - their sense of unfairness is triggered, and that is a useful heuristic for finding unjust behavior.. but the actual implementations discussed amount to "make it like it used to be". On the surface it seems like you can design something that might work.. but the trick is, it'll involve a ton of fiddly bits of law. Those fiddly bits are things that lawyers (and therefore corporations and rich people) are very good at playing with, which will inevitably result in a evolving double-standard, just like in finance, health-care, politics, and employment law.

There is a form of the 'right to be forgotten' that makes total sense. Your creations - your journal, your twitter feed, your facebook notes and photo blog - these belong to you in a sensical way, and determining who has access to them might be a reasonable right you possess (though I'm unaware of any legal system that enforces that right).

But the conceptions of this 'right' I hear discussed all hinge on some variant of 'noteworthy' - that's because a moment's thought of the obvious approach tells you "wait, that will gag the news services!", which we've trained ourselves to think of as representative of goodness and openness. But 'noteworthy' is a context-based definition! The news that is noteworthy to one group is not to another, and that distinction is inherent in society - we can't wrap a semantic game around to solve the problem.

The reality is that the nature of accessible information is changing, and society will need to change with it. It's hardly the first time technology has forced society to change! The right to be forgotten is the right to exist in the world circa 1960 forever.
Due to the speed limitation of the Serial interface, I wonder if you could run the 3com card with low enough resources to do the emulation. Not real networking, I am thinking more of embedding requests into raw ethernet packets with a direct ethernet link to a Raspberry Pi, and some stuff on the RPi?

Alternatively the Printer port supported 8bit parallel transfers are was much much faster. Potentially a USB -> Parallel interface on the Pi. I remember using a Parallel to Parallel cable between 2 486s with the lap link software and getting MUCH faster then serial connection.

Pretty cool.

Sounds like you agree that more calories leads to weight gain. Advertisements can make people hungry also, but we do not run around saying advertising makes us fat.
Just like any law that prohibits stuff that isn't easily enforced.
Most laws and regulations "elevate one person's rights over another". Most basic and human rights conflict with other basic and human rights. That's inherent.

We call one solution "practical concordance" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Practical_concordance).

The problem is that Americans in discussions with people from other countries usually take "free speech trumps everything" for granted, which is a local peculiarity that no other legal tradition I know of is sharing.
You surely mean "while European-Americans were slaughtering native Americans and profiting from the slave labor of black-Americans..."
