What always baffles me about the right to be forgotten is that the issue never is if something should truly be forgotten - it should not, it will stay on record, in news articles etc. - but always if the offending piece of information should be removed from search engine indexes.

I find this really troubling, because just making it harder to find does not remove it and shifts power to persons who can make better use of search/indexing tools or have the means to hire someone who does.
Your comment is basically correct, let me add a little correction:

You're talking about "Sicherungsverwahrung", which has indeed that effect, but a regular life sentence without Sicherungsverwahrung can also be indefinitely long, until the person dies.

There are also perodical checks whether the prisoner is still a danger to society or whether he can be released, but it is possible to stay in regular prison without Sicherungsverwahrung forever.

I'm a bit torn in this case. I'm generally for the right to be forgotten, especially in cases like this one, after the criminal has served a lifetime in prison and has been re-integrated into society. However, the decision has some strange aspects to it and elicits the usual ignorance about the Internet.

From what I've read, the judges primarily bemoaned that it is so easy to search for his case by his name. Instead, the German magazine Der Spiegel is supposed to kind of obfuscate the original articles in their online archive, making discovery harder, but not necessarily to delete them or alter his name in them. The idea is that the stories should be harder to find in searches by name. In my opinion that makes no sense, neither technically nor from the point of view of the 'right to be forgotten' - and in a case like this, the stories are all over the net anyway.
I've been using Firefox Preview since it was announced in June and so far I'm really impressed. It's much faster than "regular" Firefox for Android, and I like the UI better. There have been a few bugs and annoyances as they release updates, and I really miss having a good content blocker like uBlock. Aside from that, I'm just happy that there's finally a fast web browser for Android that isn't Chrome.

Life means a Life sentence, as in you are never free. That does not mean you spend the rest of your life inside a prison.

This murderer will still be under supervision until they die, will have particular restrictions about how they live their life, and will be recalled to a prison for almost any minor offence. However the parole board will have made a decision that they are unlikely to offend again and so it is better for society, the taxpayer (and the individual) to allow them to live outside of the prison walls,
I find these discussions pretty boring, because virtually none of the commenters have ever even read the two or three short articles of our Grundgesetz that are at the center of this legal question.

I'm not talking about familiarizing yourself with standard legal doctrine or landmark constitutional court rulings. Just having a little respect for the fact that the US Constitution does not apply.

The right to be forgotten is not decided on a whim by a few judges, according to their personal preferences, there is legal text surrounding the issue.

We Europeans who criticize your Second Amendment may be shallow, as well, but we have usually at least read something about a "well-regulated militia" or the "right to keep and bear arms", so we understand where you're coming from, even if we think that's nuts.

From the sounds of this it wasn't actually murder, it was manslaughter. Murder requires being premeditated where this sounds like it was heat of the moment.

Personally I think we should either rehibilitate and then forget in order to give them a chance to contribute to society, or keep them in prison. The idea of releasing people but then villifying them will basically just channel them back into the criminal system again. Studies have shown the best way to prevent crime is with reintegrating them socially. The biggest risk factors are:

"prior criminal history, lifestyle instability (unemployment, frequent moves), and negative peer associations"

The right to be forgotten would reduce two out of three of those risks.

You are never going to get perfect performance and correctness from any kind of moderation. You will always underfit and overfit the set of allowed content.

This kind of complaints are missing the point. Youtube allowed predatory copyright claims without any kind of burden of proof on the claimant (only recently they punished a copyright troll). If this was indeed a mistake of human moderation AND the platform is not plagued with them, then I don't understand what you are expecting of them; having so many moderators to have 0% error rate?
ELI5: What Is an API?
It's a reasonable, but imperfect analogue for the old obscurity by sheer quantity.

If you are a regular employee seeking a new job, it shields from idle searches turfing up minor offences from years or decades ago. Europe seems to embrace the possibility of rehabilitation, and I think it's fair that shoplifting or a suspended sentence eventually goes away. In this context, plenty of roles would be exempt from the expiry, e.g. joining the police, or working in the legal system, among many others.

Neither case will prevent some major politician, business leader or celeb being investigated if they come under enough of a cloud. Lack of search just makes it a little less trivial. If your journalist really thinks there is history to be found you send an intern or three to trawl through 30 years of press archives at the local reference library. How it used to be done.

To me, that seems a reasonable balance and sensibly protective of the general population being discriminated against for having done something minor and daft 25 years ago.

You are asking seemingly rhetorical and sarcastic question based on overly literal understanding of the 'right to be forgotten'.
I'll do my best to prevent spam being sent by the service and therefore avoid being placed on a blacklist in the first place.

Because this sort of thing should inform the expectations that customer holds of the business, of what they can entrust the business with and what better to take elsewhere, how to expect them to act now and in the future. Like, businesses are not actually black boxes in the same way that not all actors in any realistic marketplace ever have perfect knowledge. Useful abstractions, but only up to a point. You got any inside-ish info? Use it to your advantage if you can.

If you know they are subject to that kind of pressure, would you launch your "We stand with the Uighurs" campaign there? Maybe yes, maybe no, but you should consider that carefully. Or maybe you wouldn't want them to gather data on you at all, if you are, say, involved with the Hong Kong resistance or whatever. And maybe, knowing this, you would want to take your data and attention elsewhere just on principle.

Given what we know today, would you trust Facebook to not do any secret shady business with your data? Wouldn't you make that part of a decision where one outcome might give them a lot more data on you?

That's why such info is very much of relevance to customers. That's why they try so hard to control the spin on things like that, because it's harmful if their background gets too much attention.
Most would see that as an argument in support of paternalism, and as do I, which is why I agree with your position. Advertising drugs to consumers is akin to advertising specialty testing equipment to individuals: at best neutral and at worst harmful. You have no business self-diagnosing with a risk of stroke and running in there to demand Plavix. There should be no world in which the doctor goes, "Huh, Plavix! I've never heard of it, and if you think you're at risk of stroke, well bud, here you go, one years supply."

What’s even odder is that nobody in this thread has named him (or else HN has also decided to censor itself to comply with a barbaric German law that has no bearing whatsoever on HN).

The man’s name is Paul Termann, and fuck the German Government for thinking that it had the right to try to cover up his crimes. I’m sure the families of the people he murdered have never forgotten about him so I don’t see why we should either.

I have been working on such a system and it is NOT a huge loss of your time. I've learned so much things in the past year, in market microstructure, in networking (infrastructure, protocols), cloud computing, cloud management (docker swarm, kubernetes), linux kernel bypass, distributed systems, data base, and I've read hundreds of papers on neural networks, gaussian processes, etc... If you are wondering if you should get into this, it is one of the best learning experience you will ever have.
Wasn't this announced already a few months ago?
There was a study a while back, based on family records out of scandinavian churches, where they were able to identify patterns in children based on when (or if) their paternal grandfathers had experienced mild famine in a narrow age range.

They were further working to tie these effects to a group of epigenetic markers.

> I understood the first three lines :P

> So... what would be an example of such an external program?

The external program is responsible for producing the entirety of an HTTP response; headers and the message body (see here[0] for details). CGI allows a web server to provide what it knows from an HTTP request to an arbitrary program and expects it to write the response as it sees fit.

Think of it as a specialized case of "fork-exec"[1] where the "child process" has the responsibility of writing the raw HTTP content to the "parent process" (the web server).

In the CGI model, each request causes a "fork-exec"[1] and, as such, any interaction with other services (such as a database) requires connecting, using it, then disconnecting each time. This can quickly swamp server resources, which lead to the definition of FastCGI[2] to help alleviate this type of thrashing.

That sounds like a reasonable expectation, yes.

If a company doesn't achieve it or is not even making incremental progress towards it, then it should come under fire.
The Butter Thesis
In Germany and most of Europe actually you get a life sentence for murder.

Life sentence is 20 years, (a bit less if you show remorse). Unless you are deemed criminally insane then you won't come out maybe ever.

Also in the EU the name of criminals are usually not printed or published in any other way unless it's a big thing like murder of multiple people or massive fraud.

Tabloids sometimes do print the names but usually only with the first letter of their last name
On a side note, there have been some pretty interesting posts about ketamine on HN in the past: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...
> Google feels like it can practically read my mind with minimal context, like knowing I also may be talking about a recent event that shares the name with a generic search term. And I'm not talking about personalized search.

I wish there was some compromise, because Google regularly seems to read another mind than my own, automatically "correcting" search terms to terms with similar spelling that are totally irrelevant to my search or including what is superficially synonymous but for my purposes irrelevant in the results. I frequently feel like I have to convince Google to stop second-guessing me and actually consider what I wrote rather than what it assumes I meant.

A few more knobs and switches to adjust that behavior would be helpful at least for power users.
The only thing out of place I've seen in this thread would have been the over reactions to somebody pointing out the anachronistic nature of the Knuth's wording. If there was something judgmental in that comment, that eludes me.

The reactions are what seem ideological, if anything.

So why do courts keep lying to people? Why not just be honest about sentences?
It could be either depends a lot on the context that led to the altercation.

"Voluntary manslaughter
Sometimes called a crime of passion murder, is any intentional killing that involves no prior intent to kill, and which was committed under such circumstances that would "cause a reasonable person to become emotionally or mentally disturbed". Both this and second-degree murder are committed on the spot under a spur-of-the-moment choice, but the two differ in the magnitude of the circumstances surrounding the crime. For example, a bar fight that results in death would ordinarily constitute second-degree murder. If that same bar fight stemmed from a discovery of infidelity, however, it may be mitigated to voluntary manslaughter."
