Any kind of personal data must stay privat unless I decide that can be revealed/public. Name, DOB, and address are personal data. I must have the right to prevent companies giving my address away (public or other companies).
I agree, though I don't think I should be assumed to rely just on that fallacy. The problem here is that just because a law purports to serve an ideal doesn't meant that its side effects should just be waved off as a necessary evil.

As an example, stopping terrorism is generally seen as a good thing, yet opinions differ on whether the laws that purport to prevent terrorism are good, and the government has also used such laws (such as e wire tapping allowances) to justify non-counter terrorism ops.
Let's see what I have for local development:
- Virtualbox (with 2-3 various OSes up, for testing)
- a webserver
- a database
- graphics editor
- IDE (code+DB)

With RAM-backed filesystem cache, I can fill the 8 GB of RAM easily - and not having to fall back to disk-based I/O speeds things up a lot.

So no, not essential - but pretty convenient, if you ask me ;)
It doesn't mean "no person anywhere." The Constitution is a law. It implicitly limits itself to people under its jurisdiction. Historically, that has been defined territorially and in terms of nationality. You can even argue that US citizens have no Constitutional rights off US soil though it was decided otherwise by the Supreme Court.
Who could they have blamed? It's a proof: either it holds up to examination or it doesn't.
Perhaps not so much about tagging the photo, but a) uploading a photo of me or b) giving facebook my email address (yes, thats common practice).
Most criticism centres on the design, not the technical aspects, I think it's fair to say. It's an example of a fairly large, complex, and smooth application written in Javascript for the Gnome platform.

I am looking forward to more apps using JS to see how well it all works in practice though. More docs and support will help this I hope.
This is one of the worst things that can happen to a paper of yours, the only worse thing being that it is published before you have to retract it.

Great article!

Firms such as Dot PR use two general methods:
1) Target "highly-active" users to promote their brands
2) Actually buy likes/ retweets until product goes viral

I think there is much to be said about creating a user driven experience in advertising, as demonstrated with PD3's O2 Academy campaign. Brands are easily forgotten so make them memorable!

A few more ideas:

- Growl/Notification center notices for new stories (optionally configurable by a certain points threshold).

- Subscribe to certain topics (keyword based searches). Only get notified when certain topics have stories.

- Ignore stories by user.

- Search (both locally and offer to use hnsearch.com)

- List new submissions (separate tab?).

- Comments/open hotkeys (previously mentioned here, I see).

- Minimize to Mac OS menu with an icon indicating new stories (follows your notification threshold and/or topic subscriptions).

- Tab to monitor your own submissions.
How Google Stole Christmas from Extension & App Developers and Users
Some context: the Invariant Subspace Problem is an important open problem in functional analysis [1]. There is a MathOverflow thread discussing its significance [2].

For those not familiar with functional analysis, it is basically a generalization of basic linear algebra fact that, in complex finite-dimensional vector spaces, every matrix (or to be more precise, every linear operator) has at least one eigenvector.

Cowen and Gallardo announced [3] that they proved the theorem in December, but apparently the proof is wrong, so the problem is still open.

And what do you propose Microsoft or Apple would do with the knowledge that I'm an alcoholic who is cheating on my wife? Why would they care? They're in business to make money, and there's not much money in extortion, not for long. If my phone called my wife automatically to tell her where I was and what I was doing, it wouldn't be long before no one bought that phone and Apple went out of business from the privacy lawsuits.

Yeah, we carry devices that are spying on us. Why do they spy? To sell us more stuff. They don't try to hide that fact. Your fearmongering is off topic here, and fairly irrelevant elsewhere too.

It's debatable whether Germany's data protection laws include a right to be forgotten, but, in any case, it is not on the scale that is being proposed by the revised Data Directive. Other EU countries do not have the "right."

What they do have, that exceeds protection in the US, is the right for many EU citizens to request a copy of all of the information a company has on an individual, as well as, in many cases, the requirement that a company gain explicit permission before collecting or sharing personal information.
That'd be the ideal scenario I suppose.
Well, given that it's from the official account of Major League Baseball, that seems like a likely conclusion.
The reconstructions by proxy referred to by gd1 leads to a hockey stick as far as back as you can go. Expect of course were there is very sparse proxy data at which point the trends will be completely random.

The cousin refers to the obvious long-term temperature variability. Nobody doubts the major ice ages. But the long-term reconstructions use very different techniques.
In a historical sense the real question is how did companies get out ofthe business of supervising societal roles. That's an old, old tradition and one we seem to be naturally drawn to. Authority is general, not specific. If someone tell you what to do at work they are an authority generally.

An officer disciplines his soldiers. He has authority over dress, behavior, language, hygiene. His role doesn't end with teaching them how to fight and giving them fighting orders. Teachers had similar authority. It did't end with school.

Landlords in the days when they were a class had similar authority. So did priests. etc. etc.

It shows that it has been a labour of love. Kudos!

My 2 cents: I would like to have a "View store as customer" link, which shows a preview of the store. I created a single dummy product and tried accessing it at https://memememe.mymmerch.com/ which threw an internal error. Also, the Add Product page is a tad long and would be better if broken up into 2-3 pages.

Again, great work! Good luck.
Recently switched away from GoDaddy when they raised their renewal rate on .com domains to $14.99/year. 33% more than most other registrars. No thanks.

The thing is, law is nothing more than codified morality. I do believe, in a court of law, that we should make a distinction between theft and copyright. Several Supreme Court justices agree that this is the case. However, when looking and the very core of the issue, absent legal codification, I'm still taking something that isn't mine, regardless of whether or not it was merely a copy. That is where I am coming from. Responsible adults shouldn't need to split legal hairs, we should recognize that we are, at its core, taking what is not ours to take. There is a legal distinction, but not a moral one.
I want to see what happens when they forget to include the ball in the experiment.

Hustling is not a scalable activity for your company. You should ask yourself why you have to hustle your way to the right people. Is it because the decision makers that buy the kinds of products you sell are hard to get a hold of, or is it because they just don’t want your product? The latter is a far more common reason for failure than not marketing “enough”. If your product is truly something they need and want, then you will find a sales model by iterating – but only if that’s the case, otherwise, you should spend your time iterating the product – and not scaling customer acquisition efforts until you have a model that is profitable.

Some academics enter in denial mode and blabber bullshit.

Others just invent convoluted ways to say that whoever pointed them wrong are wrong.

Seemly in their case they found out they were wrong themselves and retracted their claims quickly.
As someone who has also done safety-critical software for a while allow me to interject this, your wrong.

That is by far one of the _worse_ excuses for goto's I have ever seen. If anything they make full branch analysis more difficult then using conditionals. I have never sat down at a gap analysis and had someone say I don't know if this branch is tested because it uses an if statement instead of a naked goto. I have had people say does control ever get to this point since its at a label and we need to trace the code to find where the goto for the label is and then check the conditions for reaching the goto then check the validity of those conditionals at some non syntax designated point in the code.

Also bit rot as you describe it is not a common occurrence and is something almost no one has to deal with. In fact most safety critical systems I deal with are designed to be replaced before we would ever need to worry about that. The more common use of bit rot is the second definition given in this[0] wikipedia article. Unused code which goto's can be a real headache for.

Students with autism gravitate toward STEM majors
I feel like the schematic is pretty worthless. I thought the picture was mislabeled because the schematic shows the chamber about the size of a two liter bottle, but the picture points towards a ~3' long tube only a few inches in diameter. That, and the nozzle is considerably thicker than the pressure chamber and the diagram shows it as being smaller. I wish I could see an actual schematic (unless they're concealing the design) because this thing is pretty cool and I really would like some details. Imagine what a racquet ball could do in this kind of design (I'm only kidding).

Why air traffic control still needs the human touch
I tried out your site and have some feedback for you:

a) In general, I like your design, though I'm not a big fan of the flicker when you use Javascript to change the font. I'm using Chromium on Ubuntu though, so this may not show up on Windows/OS X.

b) Check out this scenario. Enter your live demo site and go to the settings page. Attempt to change a value on that page and then click 'save'. When I save the settings, I end up on an unstyled page that says, "{"success": "Store Settings Successfully Saved"}". I suspect that would scare customers away!

c) The 'add a product' page needs some work. I found the whole process quite difficult and found myself constantly asking myself what information I really need. This is problematic because I suspect I have more eCommerce experience than your target customer. The first thing I'd do is move the 'add photos' function higher. Second, I'd consider walking people through the process (ie - through a series of smaller forms rather than one long form)...

GoDaddy, along with every other registrar, is grossly overpriced.

I have a few dozen domains and I've never spent more than $3 a year on them.

Just do a search for $0.25 domains or similar and you'll find coupon codes for registrars even worse than GoDaddy (read: Network Solutions or Register.com) offering 1 year .com for $0.25-$0.99. After 9 months or so, transfer to a registrar that's having a transfer sale. For $1.99 or however much they charge, you'll be able to transfer your domain name and have it renewed for another year.

Sure it's more work, but it's much cheaper.

Most of the time Sun just used it to advertise OpenOffice which was their own product.

Does anyone remember if Sun at any time bundled adware or other forms of crapware, esp. using deceptive tactics?
My point was not that it was cheaper in any way. I am well aware that the costs are slightly less or the same, but that's kinda my point... The government subsidizes education and raises money through taxation, reducing the requirement of big loans or wealth AT THE START OF YOUR CAREER. Even if you fail, your life isn't destined for serfdom, beholden for 30 years to whomever gave you a loan.

Also, as you point out, everyone pays en there is no choice in the matter. This is a good thing. This is also what's terribly wrong about America... the MEconomy.

People only want to pay for things they benefit from directly and refuse to contribute to the collective, for the benefit of the greater good. Education, healthcare, etc etc

I found it relevant because the link in question is a petition addressed to Larry Ellison about an Oracle business practice which was directed towards making money, at the expense of serving the userbase. I put it here precisely because it articulates why this petition might be, even moreso than other petitions, a futile exercise. The success of a petition fundamentally depends on two things: a receptive audience, and a bunch of people willing to make a little effort to say "me, too."
Nice article - It seems lazy to me when people hastily assume snapchat is only used for sexting.

From my experience with younger siblings and their friends, it seems much more mainstream among high schoolers and is genuinely being used as a legitimate communication tool, not just a sexting app.

Is this true or do you think it does lend to more of a sexting crowd/behavior?

That's the rub, though, right?

Clearly, most users consider the content they've posted themselves as being personal data...when you delete your FB account, you expect that posted content to be deleted.

So if an ex-lover decides to screenshot some material that I only shared with my close friends and republishes it to Tumblr to embarrass me...does this law cover that? Sure, that seems like a clear cut case to most of us...and there are libel and harassment laws that cover this.

Now what if I make my affiliation with the KKK known on FB (such as Liking them and listing it under my job history). I renounce the organization and delete my FB account a month later later, but before then, someone has decided to post a screenshot of that ugly tidbit on their blog because while I was working as a cashier at Acme burger, they feel that I discriminated against them and so this KKK datapoint is proof.

Ten years later, does the public have a right to know that info, even if I spent the rest of the decade doing what I can to fight the KKK's efforts. Don't I have a right to be forgotten by search engines of my brief dalliance with the KKK?

Again, there are defamation laws that I can try to leverage (in the US, I would be considered a non public figure with stronger libel protections)...with this EU law, I now have e ability to bring a lawsuit against Facebook for not doing enough, in my opinion, to stop the dissemination of information after I deleted my account.

Now if your rebuttal is "well, it is a technical impossibility for FB to stop others from disseminating that information" Well, is it really? Or did FB just shirk their duties to save an extra buck? That's for the courts to decide...and as you well know, technical implementation is not always a deciding factor in the ruling.

I've used two extreme cases (most people hate the KKK so much that I assume they don't care if the person in the second scenario has their data shared)...but you can imagine all the other cases to fill the spectrum. You seem to take it for a given that the courts all agree what is in the public interest and what free speech is...but the reality is that such debates and lawsuits still go on today

Now I know no one sympathizes with the companies here...but given the litigious possibilities this law opens up, how do you think that might stifle initiatives that theoretically could fall afoul of this law? This is why I think it is akin to SOPA, which ostensibly protected the rights of content producers, but would've opened up new ways for certain companies to restrict and sue Google.

An email concerning my most recent transfer to NameCheap included the following line:

eNom, Inc. has received a request from [Me] on 22 Jan 2013 to become the new registrar of record.

The subject was:

Domain Transfer Request for [Domain]

The message included links at transfer-approval.com for verifying the transfer.

The whois information for namecheap.com shows NameCheap, Inc as the registrant, but eNom as the registrar (which may mean nothing at all).

So, there appears to continue to be a link between Namecheap and ENom, but it might be limited to NameCheap using eNom services and/or not updating account information to display the right info. It's easy to be a customer of NameCheap and assume they are a reseller or that eNom is the parent. If that's not the case, they have some work to do to clarify things. That said, I'm a happy customer.
