  • UK: If it looks, sounds and behaves like an enemy, why are we calling China a ‘challenge’? -- [Opinion]

    Jump

  • There are plenty of political figures saying we should call China the enemy, very few that openly say we should call the USA an enemy.

    That's not my point though, because you could also say it about other countries (Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc), the fact is dealing with countries that do things we consider shitty is a basic part of geopolitics, unless you want to start a war on twelve fronts.

  • Everything they say about China could also be said about the USA.

  • legally

    Therein lies the other issue, unless the creator has millions of dollars to fund lawsuits, if a large company or Chinese company decides to clone it he can do nothing. The only people who will respect the license are individuals and small businesses.

  • Also means that a robust community of people creating businesses to sell variations of the hardware for those who aren’t as maker friendly cannot emerge, correct?

    Correct, that's just one of the problems with NC licenses.

    The NC license isn't open source, it violates point six of the OSD

  • California police stumped after trying to ticket driverless car for illegal U-turn

    Jump

  • “Since there was no human driver, a ticket couldn’t be issued (our citation books don’t have a box for “robot”),” reads the post.

    Did nobody think to just write "waymo" and use the company HQ as the driver's address?

  • Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??

    Jump

  • This is one of the reasons Gnosticism exists. In the gnostic interpretation the God of the old testament was the demiurge, while the snake is identified with God or Jesus.

  • One of the (many) problems with non-commercial licences is that "commercial" is really hard to define, and case law varies between countries.

    That isn't an open source licence....

  • That's literally how you do review studies.

    obviously publication bias exists, a study that shows nothing (good or bad) happening when a drug is used is less likely to get published, but that's a broad problem.

  • Who owns Britain? The effects of privatisation on the costs of living in the UK

  • They only partially nationalised rail, the rolling stock leasing companies (the most profitable part) are still private.

  • what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?

    Jump

  • I was always told it's a bit rude to use a language that not everyone present understands, since you're basically excluding people from the conversation. Your example seems a bit silly though.

  • If you actually talked to conservatives you would realise at least some are starting to openly voice disappointment in Trump.

    He ran promising stuff like the release of the Epstein files and an audit of Fort Knox, none of which he has produced.
