There are experts on this topic who have this exact view of the "right to be forgotten" elements of this article. I'm literally at CANS in Naples right now and someone spoke on this subject yesterday.

I don't see anything about it that makes it "especially targeted against data leaks". It offers protections for free speech without being specific about what that means or how it is balanced.

Of course it's not the same as the French Law, but it's still a vector for threatening legal action against someone who wants to maintain and publish facts about an individual.

There was substantial hullabaloo about this here yesterday.

I mean, look, I'm a US national, so my knowledge is limited. But I've spent time in Europe and talked to many people (again, including some leading thinkers and European activists) and I'm telling you, without a shred of a doubt, that this concern exists here.
It is sad that she didn't have a Wikipedia page, or it was deleted and revived, until the announcement. Seeing her prior awards it does not make much sense why she did not have a page.

Isn't this a pretty trivial case of exploration vs exploitation? Clearly we need both.

The more interesting question for me is why we still don't have a widely adopted approach to sharing libraries across languages.

The most promising approach I have seen in recent decades was Microsoft's COM. But it has declined along with Microsoft's clout.

Unfortunately, current industry leaders don't seem to be interested in this problem at all.
As a resident of a more rural area that has seen a complete economic turnaround in the last few years, which seems to be attributable to people leaving the big city to find more affordable ground, the big city housing bubble is the best thing that has ever happened. It may be destructive at a local level, but I'm not sure it is universally so.
In my experience (as an Indian), they ask money primarily for alcohol, cigarettes or drugs and buy food from whatever's left over. They are still not what one would call "nourished" and are pretty malnourished in most instances.
As far as I know that is exactly what they did.

> ‘They knew where the target was – third floor, second door on the right,’ the retired official said. ‘Go straight there. Osama was cowering and retreated into the bedroom. Two shooters followed him and opened up. Very simple, very straightforward, very professional hit.’ Some of the Seals were appalled later at the White House’s initial insistence that they had shot bin Laden in self-defence, the retired official said. ‘Six of the Seals’ finest, most experienced NCOs, faced with an unarmed elderly civilian, had to kill him in self-defence? The house was shabby and bin Laden was living in a cell with bars on the window and barbed wire on the roof. The rules of engagement were that if bin Laden put up any opposition they were authorised to take lethal action. But if they suspected he might have some means of opposition, like an explosive vest under his robe, they could also kill him. So here’s this guy in a mystery robe and they shot him. It’s not because he was reaching for a weapon. The rules gave them absolute authority to kill the guy.’ The later White House claim that only one or two bullets were fired into his head was ‘bullshit’, the retired official said. ‘The squad came through the door and obliterated him. As the Seals say, “We kicked his ass and took his gas.”’

A defining moment for the US for sure. It showed the war on terror wasn't excusable and that even the most conscious and educated president would still be a hypocrite when it really mattered. It has been downhill ever since with Russia and China doing largely whatever they want.

We decided to base our operations out of Wrocław, Poland because you get to work with extremely talented developers (ranked 3rd in the world) at rates that don’t make your eyes bleed (hint: SF, NYC).

We primarily work with large data sets (ie. transactional or financial data), analytics dashboards, CRUD apps, financial reporting, and other data-related processes (eg. extraction, cleaning, etc.). On the data side, we work in pandas/SQL/NoSQL (both self-hosted and cloud). On the app side, it’s django/React.

Energotest | Gliwice (Poland) | Full Time | ONSITE | Senior Software Engineer | http://www.energotest.com.pl/index/kariera

Energotest is a modern and well organized engineering company with a team of distinguished specialists. Many of them have managed or co-managed: design, assembly supervision, post-assembly tests, start-up of devices and electrical power engineering systems, practically in all newly erected or modernized power plants, combined heat and power plants, substations and industrial plants in Poland and abroad.

The Energotest R&D department team is looking for a senior developer who would be willing to take part in setting new directions in the development of systems for the broader "Industry 4.0". The person will help us change the world of automation systems, face the task of creating tools for engineers and firmware for devices manufactured by Energotest. Working together in the R&D department, we are happy to share our knowledge, but the ability to independently solve problems and look for information will be a desirable skill. If you have skills that do not meet all of the following requirements, but enter other areas of programming and feel that they will help develop our project or make it a unique product, we will gladly talk to you. Currently we are building a device (based on embedded Linux) and some tools to configure it (with C++/Qt).

Essential skills: GNU/Linux, Git, Bash, C++, Boost, Qt

Nice to have (in random order):

* Python (and Boost.Python)

* Experience with embedded Linux (yocto)

* Modern C++ (C++11, C++14, C++17)

* Functional programming (Haskell, Erlang)

* Web technologies (Elm, PureScript)

Extra notes:

* It doesn't harm if you also know MFC, C#, Delphi and Windows in general

* Official language in Energotest is Polish

* Remote work is partly possible (1 day/week)

If you want to avoid the recruitment path, take on the challenge available here: https://energotest.github.io/Challenge/

The context of the NYT article is that bad news in Chinese media is censored. GP already said "the kind of ...", which was not about a specific piece or a specific link, so it would be natural for me to interpret GP's comment as "the semantic content about defaults is censored in China", which is not true according to @paradite.

> I would not dismiss an article without at least trying to make a genuine effort to understand the point an article makes.

And likewise, you didn't seem to understand michaelmrose's points and your reply didn't address his specific criticisms of the article and how it has 2 flaws.

To me, your restatement has repeated the same 2 flaws:

>most efforts do not move us forward but instead move us backwards because fewer people are working on the things that matter. It's a solid argument

It's not a solid argument and the 2 flaws in O'Callahan's essay are:

(1) Post hoc analysis flaw: Judging what moves us "forward" vs "backwards" is post hoc analysis. It requires a time machine. In reality, we always live in the present moment, and therefore, we can't know what inconsequential things today will eventually be a net benefit to society tomorrow.

(2) Fungible & zero sum flaw. That a human interest level in any given activity is fungible and therefore zero-sum which supposedly takes away from other more worthy things.

To apply the flawed thinking to the C Language, we would have to transport ourselves back to 1972 and O'Callahan would then criticize Dennis Ritchie for "inventing yet another language and fragmenting the landscape". Instead, D.R. should have focused his effort on languages that already existed like Cobol (1959) and Lisp (1958). Well, if Dennis Ritchie was not intellectually interested in enhancing the older ecosystems of Cobol and Lisp, it's a moot point.

Imagine taking all those "Shown HN" posts of new programming languages[1] and lecturing people that they should have focusd their energy on existing "more important" things such as the broken C code in Heartbleed OpenSSL. That advice would be naive about human nature. Many people aren't interested in working on the OpenSSL codebase.

If one believes that "video games" are a waste of time, it's flawed to assume that a programmer's 1000 hours on a "useless" game engine could have been redirected on developing algorithms for DNA analysis or writing code for a government healthcare portal to help the nation's citizens. Motivations matter.

Similar arguments can be made for scientists choosing to working on particular problems in physics, math, and engineering. E.g. It was a "waste of time" for Andrew Wiles to work on Fermat's Last Theorem when "P=NP" is the "more important" problem. Well, the he worked on it because Fermat's problem fascinated him since he was a little boy and "P!=NP" didn't grip him in the same passionate way.

> and the long term commitment should be there if you [...] , it means that once your programming language gains adoption beyond some people playing around with it you can't just walk off and say that it isn't your problem.

I just wanted to note that this particular opinion of "language inventor's ongoing commitment required" was not stated in O'Callahan's essay.

Um, is this sarcastic?

Maybe because Instagram millionaires are about as common as sports millionaires?

Maybe because beauty fades, and doesn’t make for much of a career past age 35?

Maybe because not every woman is conventionally beautiful?

Maybe because some of us couldn’t care less about fashion or makeup?

Maybe because we enjoy technical work?

Maybe because some of us are damn good at it?

Maybe because we enjoy producing value with - and being valued for - our brains instead of our bodies?

Cities do that as well. I moved out of a city, closed out my taxes but ten years later they sent a threatening letter and tax assessment. My family runs a tax firm in that city so it was just a simple email for me to make it go away but most people would have to prove they left the city. Have fun. They did this to me for years after I left the city but the ten year anniversary was totally rediculous.
I've seen more of the paradox effect than hardwork paying off.

For example, when a large company collapses, being the very worst can be an asset to get out and into new companies earlier and through less critical processes (that then end up overly critical of the people trusted to shut off the lights).
Who are these people who intentionally seek a lower rent over a higher mortgage so as to invest in stocks? I've yet to meet one. Renters are just as likely to give in to vanity purchases, dumb spending habits etc...

And why are stocks such an awesome alternative? A stock can go to zero...even foreclosed homes have some value.

Stocks are optional - shelter isn't. Since you must commit some of your earnings to shelter, it makes sense over the long run to fix the costs and find a way to profit.

On a subjective level, home owners have better finances, more say in guiding their communities, and many other advantages.

Of course we can turn your argument back...why does society make so many accommodations for people who just buy and sell pieces of paper?

According to the BBC:

> Workers in the US will be paid $15 an hour, compared to the minimum wage of $7.25.

> Those in the UK will be paid £9.50, or £10.50 in London, compared to the minimum UK wage rate of £7.83 for over 25s and £7.38 for those aged 21 to 24.

> The move will benefit 250,000 workers in the US, and 17,000 in the UK, and an estimated 20,000 seasonal workers.

> The increase will apply from 1 November to all staff, full and part-time, as well as temporary and seasonal workers.

> The company also said it would press for a change to the US minimum wage level.
