Ask HN: Is shipping my companys branding in a MIT repo a legal risk?
I am open sourcing a thing that my small company will "sponsor" development time towards every now and then. I made a doc/ folder and put our logo in it and put it at the bottom of the README.

The repo has an MIT license in the root folder and a note in the README to refer to that license.

Have I done something that's legally a problem, i.e. is my company's branding and name now MIT licensed?
> My point was that your video seemed out of place since the actual issue is that cops in the U.S. are held to a different standard for murder.

That video was part of a specific response refuting the idea that if the cops just used drones and body armor, there wouldn't be a problem anymore. I did in no way intend to imply it was a counterpoint to the main story. I don't know why it's being perceived in that way.

> I also think that changing how police are prosecuted for crimes is much easier than repealing the second amendment in the U.S. (although both would face fierce opposition).

Yes, but that runs into the trade-off I was talking about. Either you have a heavy handed, "shoot first, ask questions later" style police force, or one with a lighter touch. In the first scenario, more civilians are killed. In the second, more cops.

Only by banning guns can you reduce casualties on both sides.
Except for the Singularity trashing, this talk feels like a rehash of reading your average Reddit political thread. I really wanted more than that. I think the political left viewed dialectical materialism as their futurism and now that that's gone with the fall of communism there's just doom. Global warming doom. Hyper-capitalism doom. Race war doom. Overpopulation doom. Evil AI overlord doom. They can't see the future because they don't believe there's going to be one.

I think this is why China has risen so quickly. Their government and their society has a positive view of the future that they are implementing. The west has little in the way of a positive view of the future. It's almost all doom pretty much across the board these days.

It does work, but most people don't know how to build a PC.

Unlike an IKEA set, there's no full list of parts to buy, you don't have a guide, it's not guaranteed that the parts work well together (even for someone with experience) and mis-assembly can render the whole thing useless.

>The most scathing analyses of Bolshevism I have heard have come from the likes of Chomsky and Zinn

Bolshevism yes, the political movement it belongs in general, no. Take Zinn for example: "Let's talk about socialism. I think it's very important to bring back the idea of socialism into the national discussion to where it was at the turn of the [last] century before the Soviet Union gave it a bad name."

>For all of its faults at least capital aggregation doesn’t have a moral prerogative behind it.

The protestant work ethic? The white man's burden? The various civic-religious views of the free-market and the invisible hand?

Or, Dr Bowring, an English economist said it in the 19th century: “Jesus Christ is free trade and free trade is Jesus Christ.”

Or maybe it's freedom itself? Friedman: "Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself".

We have an SW car and an e-powered cargo bike, and that’s enough. 2 little kids, and I play in a band. And we do live in an area where you have to have a vehicle. It’s doable. I mostly use one of the bikes to commute (either to the train, 4km away, or 2nd office, 3km away).

This is not how things work in reality. People/corporations don't do what you want just because you're wishing it. If you are unwilling to tolerate a little bit of discomfort why should they tolerate the risk of changing their practices which have been proven to work? By continuing to buy Android devices, despite your complaints, you are, in fact, providing them with the opposite incentive.

Correct way of learning asyncio in Python 3.6
As I understand, there are differences between 3.4,3.5 and 3.6. I'm not sure what tutorials I should use to learn this. As in what parts have changed and what haven't.

To be clear, I'm finding the official documentation quite difficult to follow along. I'm looking for sources outside the official documentation.
I don't feel this at all. As someone who is an actual "maker", I have to design something before I feel that I made it.

IKEA is just rudimentary assembly. You don't have to reshape any material in IKEA assembly. You don't have to follow any blueprint to cut or drill anything out of raw stock. If you have any sort of skill and tools for that sort of thing, they lie idle.

There was the one time I had to re-drill holes that were off. My already low regard for the item sank as a result.
Are you confused because that resource doesn't try to convince of you of any particular standpoint, omitting contrary positions in the process, and instead gives you a collection of thoughts and viewpoints on the matter?

In my opinion this is vastly more "useful" than the alternative: This is a nice overview and invites you to dive deeper into any of these sources.

Edit: Though after skimming over the rest of them, most of them seem to be referencing pretty much the same thing. I can kind of see what you found odd.

Edit 2: Definitely looks like this is just a list of commentary specifically about the work of Roger Ekirch, who is is also the owner of that site - definitely might be biased (as in not an exhaustive list) then.
Except no-one's paying for it. It's a useless product solving a problem few people have. It's a hardware company with no margin for error that will die an expensive death. I have done and built things and profited immensely from them. When you get defensive over valid criticism that isn't even directed at you, it shows that you're the one that will never get there. Even so, I've never charged 1000% margin for so little value added.
Monitor the usage and look for a change? E.g. I see the person come home and turn on their lights, whichever meter shows an increase at that time is theirs.

I was a musician(tuba) in the Royal Swedish Army Band for two years. So not really military, but we did received thorough combat training.

I really enjoyed it, and it gave me really good experiences and taught me some valuable lessons. Our CO always said "You can do ten times as much as you think you can do and twice as much as we think you can do". The lesson is that when you've done X amount of work you usually feel that you can do X more work.

We spent a couple of weeks in the field training and that has taught me to appreciate comfort without needing it. Whenever I'm cold, hungry or tired I can always think: "I've had it much worse, this is nothing".

But still, I don't feel like a military man and don't identify much with it. It's just a valuable experience.

edit: thought -> taught
Mostly correct:

>>...No backup questions at all. I guess you go to the bank's office if you forget it?

True, then use personalId (or passport in case the account is in a different country), change the wee-calculator thing/reset of the phoneId app also requires visit to a bank office. Some banks support national identity system (Estonia, Latvia for instance).

>>"wiring" money between european bank accounts is free

this is not necessary true, and it's not 'european' but eurozone (which is different). The fee is domestic within the EU zone and depends on the bank agreement, e.g. it can 0.5e or even free
The Greek debt crisis was as a result of using public money to bailout private banks. Whether that bailout was irresponsible is a matter for debate.

>Which were dismantled in 1961. Since then, 56 years passed before the revolution.

You mean 1861 (emancipation of the serfs). That didn't prevent 1917 Russia from still being a "medieval in many ways with serf/noble type relationships" country -- like the civil war might have meant the end of slavery in the US, but it took a century for de-seggregation, and still today blacks are over-represented in poverty and prison populations (long term after-effects of starting worse than nothing -- other "white" immigrants started their US life with nothing, but blacks, until the 60s, started worse than that).

And there were several revolutions before November 1917, precisely because the masses felt the need for them. (If anything November 1917 was a party takeover of the grass-roots February revolution).

>If not for communists, Russia will be more like 300 mln strong Norway today, not 140 mln strong Guatemala like it's today.

Nobody cared for Norway. Everybody cared (had it in) for Russia (from Napoleonic France to Nazi Germany, all the way to global corporate interests today that plunder all around the world but are bitter because Russia prefers its own national class of kleptocrats to do the plundering instead of selling to the lowest bidder).

If it wasn't for the communists (not the ideology, but the hard-forced fast-track industrialization and urbanizing project) they'd be plundered all the way now, and WWII might have ended very differently.

The fact that there are some people who enjoy walking round the IKEA stores window shopping with no intention of buying anything is testament to how well designed their stores are.

> Source code conveys everything possible about your program in any language.

I disagree with this statement. Behaviour of the program will be determined by machine instructions that the compiler generates for a given source plus the machine environment where these instructions will be run. And it is not guaranteed that the generated instructions will be same for a given source across different architectures and environments that the compiler is run (plus I guess there is generally some degree of non-determinism in the compilers as well, because of the different optimizations it can make under different conditions, which are not "explicit" from the source itself).

As far I understood, in the notion of explicitness that is defined in the article, it is defined that the language where source almost completely specifies the behaviour of program, irrespective of the compiler environments where it is compiled on, is an explicit language.

I think in the sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16034541 bad_user articulates more clearly the point I was trying to make.
If the problem isn't trivial doing it right saves time during first implementation as well.
CoD is really the worst, most other communities aren't like this.

I've been in plenty of online, semi-anonymous, young, male majority communities that were overly friendly, welcoming and inclusive to see that CoD is just a pisshole. A bad place. End of Story.

Yes. Took a job with a defense contractor in the UK. On day 1 they told me that it would take 6 months to get security clearance. The bummer was that the men's bathroom was in a secure area and I would have to be escorted every time. On day 1 I quit.
It's weird that he didn't give the ELK stack a chance. Kibana would be awesome at graphing this and data ingestion would also be very simple.

Very useful for automatically generating graphs based on data. Would have automated the whole "writing PHP + jQuery + SQLITE3" part entirely - and consume the JSON directly and created visualizations based on that.

>But even if they did, I doubt it would be worse than what we have now. You can infer that what we have now is pretty bad.

Today's Russia would be worse than a Nazi-occupied Russia?

It's a typical eastern European country, with the typical corruption and political power patterns that come with it. Nothing more, nothing less, except its size.

The image of Russia as some global rogue power is ludicrous, especially coming from a global rogue power itself, which has invaded, occupied, took the oil, toppled, etc, places tons of miles outside its borders for the best part of the last 30 years, creating a hell of a mess in the process.

>French understood that and abstained from the fight.

That's a novel way to look at WWII. Perhaps somebody should have told the allies that all those sacrifices and blood toll wasn't needed, because they'd win anyway.

I got whatever the opposite of the IKEA effect is from building my last desktop PC, which, hopefully, will be the last PC I ever build. Aside from memory and maybe drives, I'll be buying off-the-rack from now on.

What I learned is that there is nothing special about a homebuilt PC, unless you want an odd case. Thanks to depreciation, there's not all that much special about OTR PC's, either.

The clamp only systems lack accuracy due to not measuring supply voltage. Commercial/open source energy meters based on chips like the ADE7953[0] have a resistive voltage divider to attenuate the supply voltage to suitable level for the chip but preserving the envelope for sampling. The problem is there is no galvanic isolation, so interfacing is harder.

>I can tell you back in the day when I worked for Rackshack I never envied the abuse department. They always looked stressed out.

The police normally rotate staff on and off the analyst post every few months.

I was speaking to a detective, saying I was interested in going into digital forensics, and he just plainly said "no, you don't want to do that". He said he knew he'd spent too long on the job when he was walking through a park, saw a father playing with his daughter, and instead of thinking "aww" thought "you sick fucker".

I have, in the course of my career, come across child abuse content. Personally it didn't really bother me - I just didn't think about it and got on with the job of notifying the police, but I can easily see how being exposed to that sort of thing day in day out would really mess with someone's head.

The effect is probably for the layman who doesn't usually build things, so when they finally build something (which is a human built-in dopamin effect, humans love building

The Data That Threatened to Break Physics
I think the answer for the Leaf is no. Nissan doesn't have an incentive to allow this. It is, I'll grant you, more difficult than replacing a 12V. There are heat issues and apparently charger compatibility issues.

However, Nissan is in the business of selling cars just as Apple is in the business of selling computers. Repairing and improving old cars+computers is an expense and competes with sales of new cars+computers.

In principle, it could happen. In practice, it won't. I'll probably get the batter replaced and keep the car. But I wouldn't buy/recommend a Leaf at this point as there are better alternatives available.

A similar issue is right to repair.

What I want from furniture is something that does it's job without calling attention to itself.
Assuming you are referring to filing taxes in the US, and you live in the US, that may be true. But there are an estimated 9 million US citizens living abroad many of whom probably find it a lot safer and more convenient to file electronically even though it might cost more.
> and now that that's gone with the fall of communism there's just doom.

The thing is, communism didn't really exist to fall in the first place, and the most advanced countries (Sweden, Norway, etc.) are all putting in place a mixed socialist/capitalist system.

Also, dialectical materialism didn't necessarily fail just because a set of predictions were made with it didn't come true, it just means that we didn't have the right data, or perhaps we need a new analysis. Not to mention the fact that much of communist writing with regards to capitalist failure is extremely "on point", even today. Indeed, much of it feels like it could have been written yesterday. Dialectical materialism remains a tool of science, however limited it may be, and so should be considered as one.

Also, I think you're mistaking "doom" for "actionable movements". People are actually mobilizing to fix the problem of race (mostly within America, I might add -- while racism is a problem elsewhere, you don't tend to see as much violent resistance to fixing it as you do in the American systems). Just like people are mobilizing to fix Climate Change and much of the problems with uncontrolled late-stage capitalism.
