I think very few people would consider that to be responsible disclosure. The common practice is to allow 90 days as a minimum.

It's certainly not my experience that the M3 is overpowered for browsing. With the proliferation of SPAs for everything from messaging to word processing, my Macbook Air reminds me of a Chromebook in more ways than one.

The last time the succession rules were changed (2013), it was following an agreement by the relevant countries. It was called the "Perth Agreement".

Absolutely. The argument that screen readers shouldn't gain a heurisric for identifying this kind of text and normalising it down to pronouncable words is just prescribtivism, to my view.

ALL CAPS, SpOnGeBoB cASe, clap emphasis, and others carry specific meanings in colloquial written language, the use of other letterlike symbols can also. These should be presented in an accessible form to the user, rather than demanding that people refrain from using them.

I bought an XPS 16 recently. 4K screen, 64 GB RAM (+8 GB VRAM), 2 TB storage (4 TB was an option). It cost about 3/4 as much as a similarly specced MBP.

I know many people still love MacOS, but it lost me a few years ago. I've also, frankly, had much better milage out of Dell machines than Apple ones over the last ten years.

The US has a small set of valid bank notes. It's not like other countries that have multiple issuers, each with their own schedules for when to update designs.

On top of that, this isn't just a design that a person hasn't seen often, it's a denomination. Think of the 500 EUR notes, they were unfamiliar to many people.

2048 is a brilliant game, I love it. I understand that it's been used widely (I even saw it on a plane IFE system last month) and that likely didn't generate much ot any income, but the first impression when opening this was a bit dodgy. There are over 700 'partners' you want me to consent to sending data to? Come on, you know that nobody could make an informed decision on that.

Same, September 2018 for me.

After some internal discussion, we have determined this is a known low risk issue. We may make this functionality more strict in the future, but don't have anything to announce now. As a result, this is not eligible for reward under the Bug Bounty program.

I'm not sure I quite understand your questions.

I'd say that Apple are directly harmed, by the court order to pay £385 million. I haven't seen any suggestion that there has been a transfer of shares as part of the settlement, so it wouldn't align with a stock buyback. Equally, this seems like the opposite of friendly, and the money involved here is tiny compared to Apple's dividend payments.

The title is "how to ask..." not "how to force...".

What's a taxi medallion?

That video was enough for me to lose all interest in this channel. Misrepresenting basic maths with something obtuse that is obviously false pushes people away from the discipline.

Surprising that the only mention of intellectual property in the FAQ and the legal terms page is about copyright that the service claims in the outputs, not restrictions on the inputs.

One of the first things the author of the article does is breaks it down into the 5 code points and explains their individual meanings.

A Google image search for each will probably be best. They are relatively technical terms within highways, most people wouldn't be able to describe them as well as the person you replied to, so there aren't all that many good diagrams comparing the types.

I believe that one of the responsibilities of the board of auditors is hearing complaints against officeholders for waste of public funds.

My Samsung Ultrawide has a 3840x1080 resolution. Once or twice it's been misdetected as normal horizontal resolution, when switching PIP off. I suspect you've been the victim of a driver/host issue.

I was very involved in GSoC from an open source perspective for many years. I think this is the best tweak they've made in years. There is so much talent outside of the University system, and widening this will give lots of motivated people opportunities they otherwise wouldn't have.

I don't speak for Google, however I was involved in Summer of Code from the open source side when this decision was made. The reason given was that they were concerned that the amounts were having a disproportionate impact on some students, paying significantly more than the jobs it was meant to compete with to the extent that getting into Sumner of Code was one of the main objectives for students rather than a nice to have.

I can tell you that when it was announced it was a very unpopular move with the mentoring organisations, where the strong feeling was that equal work deserves equal pay, but ultimately the decision for mentoring orgs is to participate or not, and the vast majority chose to participate.

From the article "WhatsApp can read some of your messages if the recipient reports them."

Is this surprising? Any third party can read part of an e2e encrypted communication if one of the participants forwards it.

Even just the kindles, I carried mine with me so much when it first came out as an emergency communications channel.

I do find it funny that many US-Americans online joke about the UK having TV licence by asking if we "have a loicence" for various unrelated things, while the US seems obsessed with providing driving licences for all sorts of every-day activities.

A meta-joke for people not in the UK: the TV channel that commissioned this is famous for re-runs of older BBC comedy programmes.

Someone I went to uni with got a job at an engineering firm. One of his projects was unmounting nuclear reactors for decomissioning, which were sufficiently secret that he was told to treat them as a black box. He was given a procedure, including specific drill and cut locations which would safely detach the reactor, but no detail about what was inside the shell.

One day he was on holiday in France and went to a museum that had displays about nuclear technology. One of the information boards was an exploded view of the same reactor technologies he was working with.

Who knows if there were subtle differences, but it's fascinating how different decisions about redaction are made given knowledge that the information is public.

I'm confused by people that don't see the point in increasing the time efficiency of Python code, citing other languages being available. Python's strength has always been ease of development, with writing performant extensions being much more complex. Projects like numpy have brought much of that performance to easy reach of pure python programmers, but increasing the baseline performance is orthogonal to that.

There's a huge amount of pure python code out there, powering websites, acting as the glue between C functions and providing business logic to pre-optimised frameworks. These are not likely to be targets for rewriting in another language, but that doesn't mean that their maintainers wouldn't like them to be faster and cost less to run.

No alternative means of transport is surprising. Taxis are still in operation in the UK. The National Rail conditions of carriage specify the operator's obligation to passengers when services fall out as:

28.2. Where disruption prevents you from completing the journey for which your Ticket is valid and is being used, any Train Company will, where it reasonably can, provide you with alternative means of travel to your destination, or if necessary, provide overnight accommodation for you.

How strange. I've lived in a dozen or so rented properties in the UK and only had a dishwasher in one of them.

There's currently a tutorial on how to do this just below this link on the front page, posted 3 hours before this one.

I believe that the Webdriver/Chromedriver approach is the current recommended way of doing this.

While a recipe isn't protected by copyright in the US (and many other countries, including the UK), the wording of the recipe could well be an original literary work, the layout of the page could attract a copyright (as it does in cookbooks) and you're right that the images would be protected.

All that said, if the import is being used for personal use only and not being edited, then it's little different to printing it out and putting it in a binder. I don't know much about US fair-use laws, but in the UK it would seem that reproducing a recipe in an app for your own use would qualify as fair dealing thanks to being personal study.

That only applies if the imports are specific to the person importing them, of course. If they're shared or published, then it's a different story. Also, if you're importing more than one recipe, so it's a significant amount of the published work, then that'd be an issue too. You can't import a whole cookbook and claim it's personal study, but one recipe out of dozens is probably fine.
