Legally minded folks, I need some insight on GNU general public licensing. - Max Feb 6, 19:17 3
- GPL v3 might be the wrong licence for data. Creative Commons might be more appropriate. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 19:42 1
  - But if I say okay and he puts the license on it, it's not like I can't continue publishing my dataset elsewhere, right? -- nm - Max Feb 6, 19:51
- This is the extent of my knowledge of GNU -- (link) - znufrii Feb 6, 19:24 [youtube]

- I feel like a dumpster fire is more pejorative. couldn't say why, really. -- nm - mafic Feb 6, 19:47
- The first usually involves a dump, the second is smaller and close to home. -- nm - . Feb 6, 19:29
- only in terms of scale, I think. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 19:28
- I think they're both interchangeable, also trash fire. -- nm - b. Feb 6, 19:14

Turning signal question - Dano Feb 6, 18:33 16
- Turn signals always. Even in parking lots. -- nm - Qale Feb 6, 20:27
- Yes or hear my 5 seconds of horn -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 19:27
- yes, I even got a pulled over and ticketed for that -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 19:11
- yes -- nm - prayformojo Feb 6, 18:39
- if you plan to turn from either lane you should use your signal. -- nm - mafic Feb 6, 18:39 8
  - basically for positive affirmation. no signal is no info. you know you're planning to turn, nobody else does. they might assume, the signal confirms. - mafic Feb 6, 18:41
  - I always wait until I’m pretty close because I don’t want it to seem like I’m trying to change lanes. -- nm - Dano Feb 6, 18:41 6
    - Our turn lanes all painted in solid white so you can't change lanes while in them. -- nm - Bacon Feb 6, 19:29
    - yeah, every morning I get into a turning lane to get onto the highway. it stretches past a light where there's no turning allowed. I don't signal - mafic Feb 6, 18:51 4
      - If there is no choice about turning you don't need to. If there is a choice of going straight, even in left turn lane, use it. -- nm - . Feb 6, 19:26 3
        
        unless no choice means literally there are buildings or barriers in your way, you should still signal. - mafic Feb 6, 19:41 2
        
        Yep. -- nm - . Feb 6, 20:25
        
        and like, even then it doesn't hurt. -- nm - mafic Feb 6, 19:42
- yes. -- nm - b. Feb 6, 18:38
- Yes. But if I'm in the left turn only lane, sometimes not. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 18:35
- Yes -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 18:33
