Is it accurate to describe this as the public domain? I would expect that the bird logo still enjoys copyright protection, independent from its status as a trademark.

The NCSC does give out challenge coins for particularly good reports. I feel like if you get one of those, that will be 10 euros well spent.

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 o

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 als

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 see

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

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 i

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,

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 diag

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 p

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 stud

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 .

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 ever

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, inc

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 extensio

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 prevent

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