WhatsNameon Nvidia-Docker: Build and Run Docker Containers Leveraging Nvidia GPUs

This is brilliant, wished I had this when I was implementing a large scale cloud rendering project.

Having a standardised and streamlined way of deploying the application code with CUDA toolkit would have saved me a lot of troubleshooting.

WhatsNameon Announcing Certbot: EFF's Client for Let's Encrypt

Which was a lot more straight forward, so why change it to something obscure? (I mean "Let's Ecrypt" is a well positioned brand and since this is all about trust, why introduce a new name?)

WhatsNameon Defending the Right to Be Forgotten

If you look at the fact, that Google CEO Eric Schmidt actually recommends to teenagers, to change their name at the age of 18 just to escape the online artefacts of their young years[1], there are actually strong arguments to have a "right to be forgotten".

As we are moving forward to a society, where everything we do is shared online, not only by us but also by our friends, we suddenly loose the control over how we are portrayed. Of course there is the argument that this has been true with classic media, but from personal experience you always have the chance to rerecord something you said on a interview if it's not live and I pre read a majority of all print articles and interviews, because newspaper have high quality standards and try hard to get everything right.

As copyright holders are (quite successfully) lobbying to enforce their rights to their content globally, we as a society should enforce our rights on how we are portrait globally. This should not be exclusive to europeans and european cyber space, everyone should enjoy the freedom to decide which parts of his past should be forgotten.
