> ... hatred directed against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined on the basis of race, colour, descent, religion or belief, or national or ethnic origin;

Define "hatred". This is extremely vague. Again, I suggest you to do some of your own research in this regard. There are thousands of documents freely available on UN, EU or related organisations websites that very clearly outline what the goals are of these types of laws and what has been done in this regard.

I will refer you though, to one such document, in which there is an interesting section that quotes someone as saying that the only way for migrants and minorities to be integrated into European society will be through "forced assimilation" and what I would define as a complete destruction of European national identities:

> first and foremost the notion of what it means to be the member of a certain European
nation (e.g. being French, German, Spanish, etc.) has to change. Europeans cannot define
themselves anymore through the colour of their skin and/or their religion. They have to realise the
excluding nature of these signifiers and come up with others that can really work as umbrellas
that all can fit under. European values could be a great starting point. The respect for human
rights, democracy, liberalism, secularism, etc. are all ideas and ideals that are inherently inclusive
and independent of ethnic background, religious beliefs or skin colour. Obviously, immigrants and
members of minority communities also have to subscribe to these ideas and - due to cultural
differences - that will also be hard work on their part (and on the part of European societies).
However, there are hardly any other options to create healthy and unfragmented European
societies through integration that is not forced assimilation.

I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about what "forced assimilation" means.

Edit: Document in which this phrase can be found: http://www.inach.net/wp-content/uploads/Annual-Report-2018-1...

If you are unfamiliar with this environment I suggest you read the entire document and not just the part I quoted.

>There are more fundable startup markets than there are tenured positions available in academia

>The rewards for a successful startup are about 2 orders of magnitude higher than the rewards for tenure, too.

Massive [citation needed] on both these claims. "But my brother-in-law" is not evidence. It's not at all obvious that there are more startup markets than tenure positions. Also, founding a successful startup is largely a matter of luck, and being in the right place at the right time.
The problem is scientific not just technology optimization though. Wind and solar just can't deliver, they are linear solutions to exponential problems. They do around 1% today only expected to be 3-4% in 2040 and that's with the current energy need which will increase significantly in as more people become middle class.

So we need something groundbreaking with high energy density and scalability and which is cheap.

I'm in the UK, and have unfortunately had all too much experience of the health care system here.

My view is that it's optimised for the majority, and for the "easy" things. For example, all the NHS endocrinologists I've seen have only really known about diabetes, the dieticians I've seen only really know about weight loss, the pain specialists I've seen have a narrow and fixed list of mess they prescribe, and the neurologists I've seen only really knew about... well, not much TBH. I can only guess it's because they're over-stretched and simply don't have time, but it's also been my experience that consultant's knowledge is way behind the times; almost like they haven't read a paper since they left medical school. Oh, and waiting list times are often ridiculous.

The NHS fails many, but I know helps far more than it fails, and if you have the money you have the option of private medical insurance or self-funding private medical care.

I'd still take our "sort of works for most people" system over that of the USA any day.

With regards to how you locate it, the paper proposes looking at existing data from FERMILAT, a gamma ray telescope which could possibly pick up anihilations from a dark matter cloud surrounding such a black hole. Since the object itself is so tiny (I’ve never seen a 1:1 scale figure in an astronomy paper before) you need to detect its presence in some other way.

A UK perspective - my son is now 10 and is in the age for taking two tests - an 11+ test and a UK SAT test. They are basically the same thing and roughly analogous I think to the US tests.

The 11+ score may affect which secondary school he attends (some schools in this part of the UK can be selective and so would choose to take only the higher scoring kids. However at 11 the predictive power is less good and there is sufficient competition that the selective cut off gets pushed down. anyway it helps him if he wants to go to a selective school

The SAT - meh. It will affect the school ranking - but has no affect positive or negative for the pupil and as such seems pointless for him to worry about or even take.

Right to be forgotten actually clearly stipulates those things. Information that's "of the public interest" cannot be forgotten under RTBF, for instance. It clearly defines the reasons people should be able to have their information forgotten, such as it being false, very out of date, private, etc.

Unfortunately, right to be forgotten has a huge weak point: It relies on the party forgetting (often Google or Bing) to decide whether or not RTBF applies, rather than a neutral party such as a court. Criticisms of RTBF have largely surrounded examples where the decisionmaking was faulty, and unfortunately, the entities making the decisions would very much like the legislation to fail.

I would far rather RTBF requests be reviewed and approved or rejected by a government office, not a search engine company.
You and authoritarian seem to be saying "anti-vaxxers are completely bad!" Well, congratulations. You're right. But no one here is arguing with you.

The issue is whether allowing people voice in influencing policy in a democracy is an absolute good if it means people like anti-vaxxers can still influence policy. I argued that from the point of view of an anti-vaxxer they are doing good, and that, you might find yourself in such a position one day. That's irrespective of whether the anti-vaxxers are right or wrong and if the hypothetical you is right or wrong.

And if it's not clear by now, (which it should be for anyone who read the thread): I'm not an anti-vaxxer; I'm not in favor of them; and nothing I've said here is in support of them.

They absolutely distort the market! That's the point if you're a government trying to affect your economy. The idea is that everyone collectively paying $X for cheap shipping to be available creates more than $X in economic value.

Someone who doesn't actually take advantage of the cheap shipping directly is 100% benefiting from the businesses they frequent that do.

An argument that might be more familiar in our industry: Why do we spend 10M on advertising when we could use that money to make our product cheaper? Because that 10M spent brings in 12M in revenue.
"Fashion" industry does this on purpose so peeps keep on buying to stay in fashion. They make regular design alterations so that clothes appear dated from year to year. When the altering possibilities run out older models start rolling back as new as in fashion.
Well that's my point: I'm usually asked design questions, so it's a good thing (or it's the cause) that I have an engineering-focused degree.

But for other jobs, if people can learn how to make business applications like it's a trade, and it eliminates unreasonable costs and even eliminates a bunch of biases, how is that bad? There's no reason for me to try and compete head-to-head for those jobs. It's a different niche.

Yes, but only if it is possible to index/search/dump the contents of people's brains. In that case we are walking video cameras violating people's privacy everywhere we go, and it is only logical that we should mandate people get their brains wiped of privacy infringing information.

How would you like it if people sold information about you based on what they saw and heard you do in public? That is a gross violation of your privacy and illegal theft of your data. Wouldn't you want that person's brain to be wiped of information they have on you to protect your rights?

> In 2007, numerous bloggers were censored and their posts deleted by police for expressing criticism of, or even support for, presidential candidates. This even led to some bloggers being arrested by the police. Subsequently, in 2008, just before a new presidential election, new legislation that required all major Internet portal sites to require identity verification of their users was put into effect.

I think this legislation may have been overturned by their Supreme Court, but there's shockingly little reporting of this in western media. So of course it would be too much to ask of an 'expert genius' to be aware of how such things turn out in practice.
>I never took any prep course. I always was of the mindset that the only value they provided was forced practice. I never bought that they taught secrets of test taking.

...

>Secondly I bought a Kaplan book which just had 12 tests in it for $20.

Did the Kaplan book not have "secrets" of test taking? Mine did, and one of them was actually useful:

When you have an "analogy" question, where they give you an A:B, and then ask which of the five choices have the same analogy.

What do you do if you don't know the meaning of both A and B?

Well, of the five choices, you will find two that are identical as far as analogies go. As an example, if you have two choices:

cat:kitten

dog:puppy

You know neither of these two can be the answer because there would be no reason to pick one over the other.

Then you'll have another choice with absolutely no relationship (e.g. pen:donkey). You can eliminate that immediately. So now you're down to two choices. Pick one randomly.

But yeah - overall I didn't learn any other big secrets - other than the obvious one of working backwards from the answers for many quantitative problems (don't solve an equation for x - just start plugging them in!).

>I should be able to talk about my experience with someone else in a public forum, even if that information is something that person doesn't want others to know.

I previously asked[0] how EU would treat a convicted rapist such as (American) Brock Turner. The reply by commenter IAmEveryone says the law would prohibit the victim from writing about it. (If the scenario is not clear, a victim's blogpost is not a search index and yet it would still be prohibited.)

Since my April 2018 comment, that hypothetical scenario has been made more concrete when the victim later revealed herself as Chanel Miller on September 2019. She's been fervent in sharing her story (her book) in media outlets including websites.

I don't know of any reliable surveys but I'm guessing the majority of Europeans would favor prohibiting her from sharing her story (RTBF) to protect Brock Turner, but the majority of Americans would not.

(I'm sure there's a similar notorious crime & victim in Europe analogous to USA's Brock Turner but I don't have an example.)

If all controversial topics are avoided unless they are the primary subject of the submission, it seems like it potentially exposes the community to an insidious legitimization of unsavory beliefs.
