Will never* happen. The Postal Union would have a heart attack at the mere suggestion. They exist to keep delivery postal workers employed, they (rightfully) don't give a damn about what postal consumers want, and they have the ability to seriously disrupt the core usps business: delivering junk mail. They would never agree to email replacing last mile delivery of mail.

The mission that the C-130 performs changed significantly in its first 20 years.

It was shoe-horned into tactical airlift in Vietnam when the C-123 was withdrawn. Despite how it its viewed today that was never its intended mission and several aspects of the design ( in-line undercarriage wheels, narrowing centre cabin ) make it less than suitable. It was designed for medium-haul MAC trash-hauling, not tactical landings on forward strips. But it was available when a need arose and the role stuck because there was nothing else appropriate.

The Transall was a proper tactical airlifter with low ground pressure,high sink-rate and kneeling undercarriage. But the USAF would never buy it. The French, Turks and South Africans used both types simultaneously to complement each other.

Today we see the C-17 being pushed the other way, as a pseudo-strategic airlifter with horrendous inefficiencies.
This is what Spanish and Italian do normally. "Mi chiamo" and "me llamo" both translate to "I call myself."

In Polish we use either "mam na imię X" ("I have the name X") or "nazywam się X" ("I call myself X"). Honestly, I only just realized that the latter form is literally what we're talking about - for my whole life I just had it stored in my head as a phrase meaning "me.name == X".

The important part here is not the hats, but that they regularly spend a little self directed time for reducing technical debt. I think this is much better than the usual "let the code fester until we can't stand it anymore, then plan a major refactoring". However, it's also a lot harder to sell to management because there are most likely few measurable improvements.
I didn't notice at first, but, like with some other Wikipedia articles, the editors of this one have enforced the E-Prime constraint on the article itself. After the possibility occurred to me and I went back to the page to check, I only found it particularly unnatural in the initial sentence, since almost every other article begins with the sentence "[subject] is [concise definition]."

For a similar example, the "Plot Summary" section of the page about "A Void" also conforms to its subject's constraint--in that case, avoiding the letter "e": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Void#Plot_summary

It surprises me that avoiding forms of "to be" presents such a challenge for me--particularly with this sentence. I feel that it makes my writing sound more repetitive, since I end up replacing "X is" with wordy alternatives like "I find X" or "X seems"; while I'm used to forms of "to be" appearing dozens of times in a paragraph, my replacements stand out more when overused.

What I need to work is a reasonably large screen, a good keyboard, and a computer powerful enough to run a decent editor, browser and ssh connection from that machine to one or more machines running the rest of my stuff.

In other words: I need a terminal. There's no need for me to have a beefy computer on my desk, because I can leave that under my stairs and not have to worry where I work on it from, and mix and match when I use my home server or cloud instances.

The laptop I type this on basically functions as a luggable terminal (it's a 17" one; I often pack my 11" Chromebook with it when travelling so I don't need to pull out the 17" one for minor stuff...), and not much more.

The only thing that will make me upgrade my laptop is improved graphics performance, better screen or better keyboard - everything else is pointless for me.

Meanwhile almost every mid range Chinese tablet today (mid-range = ca. $100-$200 these days) seems to be Atom based and supporting 4K HDMI output and dual-booting Android and Windows...It's getting very close to the point where a tablet or phone + bluetooth keyboard + a HDMI connection is sufficient or me to work. 4K LED TV's are so cheap now that I'm tempted to experiment.
Two ways occur to me.

We had this issue in the office, as we are dealing with many types of malware and viruses we were sure that we have some kind of bot in the network, we traced some queries to google from one VM, than killed it and the requests started coming from other VM and so on.

Eventually we were able to pinpoint this to specific toolbar that was bombing Google with PageRank requests.

After removing this toolbar- all went back to normal, so perhaps some users that using the same VPN provider are using some sort of tool and abusing google.

Essentially - if you have modified openalpr then you are probably violating, if you haven't you probably aren't.

Unless you are a small company with a business model tied tightly around using a modified openalpr to generate revenue then there is plenty of scope for complying with the license without damaging the business. If you are then the company is stealing and I would advise leaving.

Either way you are under a moral, and potentially legal, obligation to bring the company towards compliance. Advice for you is not to massively rock the boat - do not use it as a means to hurt your employer (even after leaving) do not focus too much on it.

IANAL; The way I would approach this:

- forward the this news article (not the hacker news post) and the openalpr license page http://www.openalpr.com/license.html to your legal contact (and manager?). Attach a simple and professional message along the lines of "Saw an article about some software we use and I am concerned we may be accidentally violating the license"

- Do not act like you really care. You were just exercising due diligence in your job and forwarding on to people that deal with it. Don't rock the boat, don't defend yourself, don't threaten.

- Do care. If your company does not respond to you within a few weeks, threatens you in any way (interrogation), or says they are deliberately ignoring the license then you need to work on getting a new job. This is because your employers act exploitatively and without respect to the work of others (such as yourself). When you come into legal dispute (which happens more often with these kinds) they are not the ones you want to be fighting. So find another job (take your time) and leave, do not cite the license as a reason. Once you are safe notify the developers.

If you are careful, not disruptive, and don't use it to create gossip or push other agendas most employers will engage legal advice and work towards resolution thanking you in the process (its way better than being sued!) and you need not suddenly leave your job over an honest mistake.

People that write memos, articles, papers, blogs, or reports need to start off with a 2-sentence Wikipedia-style description of what it is that we're looking at:

HAKMEM, alternatively known as AI Memo 239, is a February 1972 "memo" (technical report) of the MIT AI Lab containing a wide variety of hacks, including useful and clever algorithms for mathematical computation, some number theory and schematic diagrams for hardware — in Guy L. Steele's words, "a bizarre and eclectic potpourri of technical trivia". Contributors included about two dozen members and associates of the AI Lab. The title of the report is short for "hacks memo". -- Wikipedia

EDIT: I'm aware that further down the memo says, "Here is some little known data which may be of interest to computer hackers." But that's not very helpful; hackers might be interested in a lot of things like cryptography, space flight, electronics, and typesetting, just looking at the HN front page.
There are elections for which it is true, and there are elections for which it is not. No doubt Stalin loved the former kind. He also loved to say "death is the universal solution: no man, no problem" and lived up to that to the full extent. I don't see how that's related to the article though.

I have noticed an interesting effect where initially one is given the freedom to use all tools available to achieve a task, and over time restricted to an increasingly smaller subset. I find that this makes me optimize the process and in case of writing computer code, makes for easier to understand and more stable building blocks.
That's interesting, but this is actually what I had in mind:

http://biblehub.com/matthew/16-28.htm Matthew 16:28

> Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

http://biblehub.com/mark/9-1.htm Mark 9:1

> And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.

I'm sure that can be interpreted many ways, but the meaning seems pretty clear: Jesus himself supposedly said in a sermon that there were people listening to him who would not die before he came back.

Even better, perhaps, is Matthew 24:34 (also in other gospels, of course):

http://biblehub.com/matthew/24-34.htm

> Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

It's always possible to interpret things. However, that is, if anything, even clearer than the above, and interpreting it some other way seems more like a method of getting out of a failed prophecy than legitimate textual analysis.

Chinese uses "is" much more rarely than english.
And that's something it takes a while to get used to.

For example 中國很大 ("China is very big", literally "China very big")

But for a while you'll be tempted to add an "is" in there.

In fact you can use an "is" to change the emphasis.

Eg. "中國是很大的" (literally "China is very big adjective modifier")

I think the dream of homomorphic encryption ever being practical (at least for what I would consider practical) is unrealistic.

Let f(x) represent the encryption of x.

I would assume that a practical system has the following properties:
* It is possible to compose primitive operators and values to implement a +1 operator (i.e. an operator that adds one to an integer). Call this operator g(x), defined such that g(f(x)) = f(x + 1).
* If the value of 1 is leaked (which might, for example, be a literal that is used in a position that is known to the attacker), that shouldn't compromise the entire scheme.
* The scheme must provide a way to compare for equality so variable-length algorithms are possible. Define a function h such that h(f(x), f(y)) is true iff x = y.

By our assumptions, the attacker knows f(1). They can compute f(i + 1) = g(f(i)), and so they can compute as many small integers as they want. Suppose they have an unknown value u, that they know is a small integer, but they don't know which one. They can test h(u, i) for each i up to some limit to find the value of u. Hence, the encryption scheme is insecure.

Yeah, that's what the mail forwarding services do, like the one I use. Not free of course. But people like me would pay the USPS for the service if they could match what private mail forwarders do. One advantage is you wouldn't have to do the notarized form for authorization to receive mail. That can be a major pain if you are living outside the US in a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, meaning it doesn't have real notaries.

Yes. And if you read to the end of that section, you (a) discover that the changes were minimal "working hours dropping one percent for men, three percent for married women, and five percent for unmarried women" and (b) discover that the reason was "Mothers spent more time rearing newborns, and the educational impacts are regarded as a success.

I'll extrapolate from my personal coding history. Late 70s to mid 80s was Basic, Z80 & Forth on Pets, ZX81 & Lynx. Professional career started in 85, and that was Fortran & C up to 1992 when I started coding in C++. Added Java in 97, Python in 2000 and C# in 2002. I've dabbled in R & Cobol at various times. I'm coding in C++ and C# today. I expect I'll still be coding in C++, C#, Java & Python in 10 years time. Maybe Rust will be in the mix too.

Next protocols supported are strictly NPN only. If you want to check ALPN support for a specific connection type you can use the following command:

openssl s_client -alpn h2 -connect news.ycombinator.com:443

Near the end of the output you'll see the ALPN protocol or `No ALPN negotiated`. I haven't managed to get a list of server-supported protocols so far, not sure if that's even possible with ALPN.

This is with LibreSSL 2.3, but I expect OpenSSL 1.0.2 to support it too.
I love the A-10 but in keeping with the rest of the US military it got lucky which hlped it's reputation enormously.

The US military spent the 80's allegedly training to fight a defensive war in Western Europe - but when you look at the wargames they engaged in what they actually trained for was an aggressive war in a desert (this isn't some wacky conspiracy theory, it's just basic incompetence by the people setting the military exercises, they looked at the crowded cluttered maps that represented Germany and despaired that they wouldn't get to use the 2 mile cannon range on their tanks in the wargames so the maps got altered until they were far to open to be Western Europe).

The A-10 is perfect for CAS in a desert - in Afghanistan they didn't do as well as their lower agility compared to other jets made it harder for them to dodge mountains which affects their legendary ability to loiter.

The only way eBay became the category killer (during its heyday) was because of the two-way feedback system.

When they killed the ability to leave negative (or even neutral!) feedback for buyers, fraudsters caught on fast.

Just this month, I closed my eBay store after over a decade. The last straw was getting a bogus negative feedback (in a case where the buyer confirmed right in eBay messaging having received and consumed the product). Reason for the negative? I didn't upgrade him to overnight shipping for free at my expense. Even so, the item arrived three days before the eBay stated delivery lead time. They let the feedback stand because "it didn't meet the criteria for feedback removal".
