The hotel has sued Google for search suggestions when entering name of the hotel



Google has received another lawsuit (I wonder how many of these lawsuits filed against corporations?) from a small Irish hotel. The hotel is really not the big and famous, but the administration was unpleasantly surprised when I noticed that when you enter the hotel name in the search box, it displays a few search suggestions, one of which shows the word "receivership" next to the name of the hotel. This word is difficult to translate into Russian, but the term literally means "management of a bankrupt's estate". That is a potential customer, entering the name of the hotel, could see the word and decide that the hotel was bankrupt. It is clear that in this hotel no one will go.

Now the owner of the hotel (its name — Ballymascanlon House Hotel, Golf and Leisure Club) filed a lawsuit against the Corporation, asking to remove that term from the search suggestions in respect of the institution. In General, for corporations not the first to be in a similar situation — previously, a lot of lawsuits against Google was related to these search tips. So, some pretty high-profile cases were related to online piracy, when in the search line, there were hints that directly violated the laws of some countries (for example, something like a "Film "salt" download torrent").

I wonder how will evolve this case with the hotel. It is likely, the Corporation would win the lawsuit, and further add to the user agreement any item which avoids such claims in the future. Still, if every company or individual will find something unpleasant in your search suggestions, and then to sue, the company lawyers just won't have time for consideration of more serious cases.

Integration of PostgreSQL with MS SQL Server for those who want faster and deeper

Recently habré was already published integration PostgreSQL and MSSQL. But, items there is categorically not enough. Therefore, the objectives of this publication are the following: the the to broaden and deepen publicly available information about FDW for MSSQL-called tds_fdw to tell the difference in major versions and describe basic compatibility issues; the to talk about the possibilities of optimization of queries that use the foreign table; the to address the subject of caching external data in a materialized view; the to say a few words about the exotic ways to integrate PostgreSQL and MSSQL. the Installing and configuring TDS FDW The guys from PostgresPro already sufficiently said about this process, I will not repeat. Will leave a few links to the official PostgreSQL documentation and examples from tds_fdw: the the creating an extension (extension) in PG: off.dokumentacija ; the server: off.documentation , example of tds_fdw ; the creating

Custom database queries in MODx Revolution

This topic will certainly be useful for those who have quite a lot of projects on MODx Revolution, as with the usual sites of business cards is enough and the standard working methods of a La $modx- > getObject() , $modx->getCollection() , etc., and these methods are inherently not just a job database, but also with the objects of MODx. When working with large projects methods a La $modx- > getCollection() for us is not the best solution for two reasons: 1. The overexpenditures. These methods are not just getting data from DB, but also create instance of the retrieved objects. In this case, getting information about 10000 documents, we get 10000 objects of modResource that it is not very cool. 2. The task is complicated by the count of records. In addition to the direct difficulties of counting even at the query level, even if you get 10 records of the same document (for example), MODx will return as a result only one object modResource. Although often that will su
