That hasn't been my experience (albeit with much smaller companies). For one thing, if you have correspondence showing that you've made a good faith effort to get an answer, it is going to tilt the playing field in your favor in a dispute.

But as going to court isn't what you want, this does lead in to something of a ProTip (though IANAP, TINPA): In general, when hashing out a contract, it can pay off to ask for various requirements imposed on you (in this case, it would be disclosure "within 30 days") to be mirrored by similar requirements on the employer.

I'm guessing very few, if any, people here have ever felt a need to be forgotten. There was a time only a couple short decades ago when a person who made mistakes could do the work to make things right, make themselves a better person, and move on with their life. Now that's extremely difficult if not impossible. Mistakes are newsworthy and get indexed; redemption isn't and doesn't. That's not to say that everyone who makes mistakes redeems themselves. But those who do, nowadays, still have to enter every new job, every new relationship, with the dark past just a few keystrokes away.

I would like to stress that this is a very new development. As such, I think it merits discussion beyond a simple black-and-white free speech analysis. I would urge you all to look beyond abstract principles and consider also the human impact that these policies have on actual people's lives. Try to imagine, if you can, what it's like for a person who has done the hard work to right their wrongs after landing in the news. Don't they deserve to be allowed to shut the door on their past when it's no longer who they are?

I also think it's important to note that we (in the U.S.) do already recognize such a right when it comes to criminal records, through expungement proceedings. We routinely remove convictions from people's criminal records. I don't think any disagreement with this "right to be forgotten" is complete if it can't be reconciled with that.

Here's some for me personally:

Why should I study

Zen Buddhism?

Austrian economics?

The R programming language?

RxJS?

Of course I could go to wikipedia for these, but if you've got a better way of dispensing this information, I'd love to know what others are curious about too.

Sorry, no time right now for that. I'll try to explain more clearly. There's no problem if I can bind directly to the element. However, that's often not possible. Imagine a <Carousel> element that is initialized, event listeners and all, but only receives data (<Item> elements) at a later time.

In jQuery I can do something like this:

$(<Carousel>).on('click', <Item>, function(e) {
// using this 'this' gives you the <Item> element. Always. Even
// if you click on a child element of <Item>. And it works if
// you add or remove items. Also it doesn't add a listener
// to *every* single item, which matters if you've got a whole
// bunch of them!
});

The vanilla equivalent is often presented to be as simple as:

<Carousel>.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
// e.target is the actual element you clicked. So now we need to
// figure out if this element is inside an <Item>, and perhaps
// also *which* <Item>. There's various approaches, and it's
// not rocket science, but it's all extra work for something that
// seems like a common scenario.
});

The Post story is being twisted by competing media outlets to try to harm the Post's reputation. The background here is that the Post has, over the course of about 4 years, gone from being a floundering digital operation to one of the most popular news destinations on the web, beating a lot of expectations.

There are 2 ways the Post story is being twisted.

1) Critiques of the Post story and PropOrNot always note with disdain the anonymity of the PropOrNot team. Setting aside the obvious hypocrisy (most of the folks complaining have used anonymous sources themselves), this misses the important point that PropOrNot are not anonymous to the Post. Post editors know who at least some of those people are, and are satisfied that they are not idiots.

This is almost certainly why the Post is not backing down: they have information that their critics do not.

So when the article calls PropOrNot "a newbie group with no track record whatsoever," it's sort of a sleight of hand. Yes the group is new; that doesn't mean the members of the group are therefore newbies.

2) Everyone is reacting as though the Post story, and/or PropOrNot, issued a blanket condemnation of the news properties on the list. Well first, the Post did not even report the list, just that PropOrNot had issued one. Second, PropOrNot makes it clear that the list covers a wide range of concerns, from sites directly funded to push propaganda (RT), to otherwise great sites that are just not quite suspicious enough of a few stories that seem to agree with their worldview.

And worldview is really the issue here. Most of the properties and blogs named by PropOrNot are those that freely mix reporting and opinion. They built their audience by taking a strong point of view on the world. That provides an entry point for external propaganda, if it can align with that point of view.

And because it aligns, it is hard for them to see it at all. This effect is incredibly common; for example Republican Senators are reluctant to have the intelligence agencies look into what Russia may have done to shape the presidential election. Why? Because they like the way the election turned out! If the ends were good, the means must have been acceptable.

What PropOrNot (and others!) are advocating for is simply more diligence and introspection from these publishers. Just because a story fits into a pattern, that doesn't mean it is true--and it might be part of a bigger pattern someone else is weaving.

lol so you'd rather your school not be able to afford issuing your kid any laptop whatsoever? Do the teachers at your school want the kids to use AutoCAD, but someone forced them to buy Chromebooks?

Does it, though? Rents are leveling off in SF. Also, it's about time for this boom to collapse. When the first dot-com boom collapsed, about 40% of the twentysomethings in SF left.

The big moment will be when Twitter goes under. They're the most visible troubled "tech" company in SF. If Uber tanks as well, SF's housing problem will be over for a while.

(Twitter will live on, but it will probably be acquired by somebody like IAC, which buys troubled services at a discount and runs them cheaply. They own "about.com", "match.com", "dictionary.com", Vimeo, Ask, etc. If they ran Twitter, it would have far fewer employees.)
The problem exists because for every one of you (or me) there are ten others who convert better with the sticky drip campaigns.
Much of the time, "to get your degree" is the best answer you can hope for. I suspect the schools use general education requirements to push low-cost classes. You just have to put up with it.

Heck, I've been doing hard-core OS/embedded/real-time/driver/assembly stuff for almost two decades and I still haven't even found a use for: calculus (3 classes), physics (2 classes), statistics, databases (2 classes), theory of computation, or GUI development. If I can't find a use for those, what chance is there that I'll ever use the "history of western music" and similar? No boss will ever seriously ask for Marxist criticism.

I have my degree though. That is reason enough.

> between 2008 and 2010, I was training Java developers at Circuit City on Groovy and Grails. These folk were mostly late 20s and early 30s, and they were just fine sticking with good-old, write-everything-yourself, don’t-bother-with-frameworks, Java.

You're assuming Groovy and Grails are better to code in than Java and something like Spring. Grails began as a thin wrapper around Spring. Its business purpose was to chisel market share away from vanilla Spring so its backing company (G2One) would get bought by SpringSource, which eventually happened in late 2008.

I'm a strong believer in personal privacy, and I also think that there are reasonable arguments for "forgetting" (in the sense we're using it here) information about individuals under some circumstances, sometimes even if that information is correct.

However, this article makes a valid point. When operating in Europe, of course you have to comply with the European legal framework, and the meaning of "operating in Europe" is reasonably clear and has absolutely nothing to do with accessing data via a European national TLD. However, absent relevant laws or other agreements, I see no reason at all that what information people in one nation provide to people in another nation should be constrained by the wishes of people in a third nation. That sort of extra-territorial influence would set a very unhealthy precedent, for exactly the kinds of reasons the author set out here.

Google defines itself as a global corporation and has stated many times that needs global access to talent, global access to markets, and global access to information. Yet a company that has benefited so much from globalization doesn't think that the French government should be able to enforce its laws globally.

Stated simply, Google wants borders for everyone else and none for itself.
What the company gets out of it is an employee (or ex-employee) that isn't disgruntled and pissed off at them.

Pissing off employees or ex-employees for no reason is generally a really stupid and risky thing for a company to do.

Mountain View has about 6,000 people per square mile. Cupertino has about 5,000 people per square mile. Palo Alto has about 2,500 people per square mile. Etc.

By contrast, a suburb full of real housing can be far denser. For example, Somerville, MA, a suburb of Boston, has about 19,000 people per square mile. It’s entirely unnecessary to fill the whole of the Bay Area with 30+ floor high rises in order to increase density by a factor of 2 or more; all we need is to re-zone a fraction of the land to allow 3–6 story low rise apartment buildings in mixed-use neighborhoods instead of only allowing single family detached houses on large lots and scattered strip malls and outrageous numbers of parking spaces everywhere.

Kowloon has a density of more than 100,000 people per square mile. The Bay Area does not need anything near the density of Hong Kong to meet its housing needs.

End of the day, politics is a numbers game and moralizing over the typeface of a letter that at worst ends up in the junk heap is the last thing worth even an iota of energy getting comparatively upset about.

Macroeconomically, this is good. Between stadiums and college sports and the Super Bowl we, as Americans, place too much value on sports and direct too much economic (and political) power to its mechanisms. Do not underestimate the power of shifting cultural sands.

It was substitled "how different are dogfighting and football?"

My experiences differ greatly from yours.

I've got a few dozen Linux servers of various roles (authoritative DNS, database, mail, web, etc.) publicly facing and I run SELinux on all of them from the moment they are installed (literally, it's enabled and enforced in my kickstart files).

If I understand correctly, these searches and seizures are occurring before the person is granted entry, which means they have not yet inside the country, nor even shown that they are allowed to be in the country in the first place. To me, it (unfortunately) makes sense that the laws of a country only apply once you've entered it, so I actually can't fault their logic there -- if I were a judge, I would (reluctantly) rule that this logic is fine.

What is DO have a problem with, though, is that they seem to have deliberately structured the procedures this way in the first place precisely for this goal. People should be granted/denied entry first, then searched afterward if entry is granted -- because it would seem that their permission to be present inside the country should be independent of what they are allowed to bring into the country. So if the ACLU is fighting against this, I sure hope they're making this argument rather than the first one.

Does this make sense, or do people disagree?

Sleeper rats don't give bounties. If they did, wormholers would never come out of their caves :3 so sleepers drop blue loot - one of those NPC commodities you're referring to; isn't required to build anything, generates isk when sold to NPC buy order. Forces the wormholers to transport stuff to market.

Before the site changes that came with the capital rework, highclass capital escalations were habitually pulling 800m/hr with fully insurable dreads and carriers. Fortunately(?) that got nerfed, so now highclass peeps use Rattlesnakes for 150m/h in C3s like the rest of us. I say (?) because while the change certainly reduced isk faucets it also certainly reduced the number of exposed capitals to be attacked[0] -> reduced the number of people in wspace who principally enjoyed using/attacking capitals -> increased the use frequency of much-harder-to-catch ships while simultaneously plummeting the active population -> maybe sort of kind of killed jspace (we'll see).

Yes, I could be overvaluing Google's access to all that personal data - particularly since I own shares in Google.

I wonder if there is some concrete way to measure that value. For example, imagine if we could find the "revenue per US user per month" for Bing and Google Search (ie. the search engine part of Google). Would that say anything about the value of personal data?

In addition to throwaway4891a's comment, it seems a little against the whole spirit of the constitution and the mindset of the framers as stated in the declaration of independence to make the point that "non-citizens can have their rights violated" even if in this case the party was a citizen. The idea is we were to yield our inalienable rights to the state so that we could secure our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. The whole idea "well, they're not citizens, so it's okay" assumes that it is the government that grants rights, instead of the other way around.
