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.

Please, if you read this and decide it's a great idea, don't start bugging open source maintainers to officially support Tauthon in their projects. The most disruptive voices I've encountered in the last 6 months have been doing this.

It isn't autocorrect either. It's domain name resolution.

Well, at least the Dyson PR department is working hard. Shame their tech is shoddy at best.

DevRel was a mistake.

I know some small projects are having a lot of trouble with this, because using only modules from fully paid-up adopter doesn't exempt you if you ship an end-user product that uses HDMI.

For example, the F18Amk2 project at https://atariage.com/forums/topic/280138-f18a-mk2/ which is implementing a TMS9918A has hit this problem.

I am inclined to agree that enforcement isn't 100%, but wanted to flag this up as it's relevant to your users. Thanks for adding the note!

Isn't the reason they use DVI that it helps avoid the HDMI licencing costs? Not the FPGA implementation, but the adopter licence fee.

The joke at the start is fun, I'd only heard a variant in Black Country dialect.

Aynuk: What do yow reckon the biggest number is?

Ayli: Ten thousand?

Aynuk: Worrabout ten thousand and one?

Ayli: Ar, I were close though, wor I?

Interesting that commenters are talking about overreach with data collection. I'm not sure if that's in the article because the paper in question blocks people in the EU out of a desire not to comply with privacy laws. A little ironic.

The same problem exists for books. Look at No Starch Press as an example: https://twitter.com/billpollock/status/1183094406573748225?s...

That doesn't protect you, as all "new" stock is treated as interchangeable. If someone sends something to amazon to sell as new and you buy from their marketplace shop you won't necessarily get the one the seller sent, you'll get the one that Amazon can deliver most efficiently.

Presumably, if she wanted to change her name to avoid these problems she'd have done that independently. Most people would not want to change their name because of badly programmed systems.

Also, many people (and many cultures) consider adopting your husband's surname to be weird.

Obscene.

According to the article, yes.

What do you do on a daily basis that makes "How I Almost Destroyed a £50 million War Plane" sound dry?

The JAL flights from London to Tokyo and back really annoyed me last year because of padding. The LHR to HND leg arrived 45 minutes early, which meant I had 45 minutes extra of early morning time in Tokyo and 45 minutes less snoozing to try and get ahead of the jetlag.

The return trip was different, if the plane had departed on time it would have reached London at a time when inbound flights are not allowed due to noise restrictions. That meant it was about 2am by the time I was able to board the plane, again not ideal for sleeping.

I should think so. They don't have consent; vital interest, public task, legal obligation and contract do not apply; they must be relying on legitimate interest. I can't imagine this would pass an unbiased balancing test.

A higher tax rate for very large companies helps start-ups by compensating for that economy of scale you mentioned in your previous comment.

If you disagree with the concept of taxation in general just say so, don't pretend that this is somehow unfairly targeting small businesses.

TFA says: it applies to companies with global sales of "750 million euros and French sales above 25 million euros"

I missed that, thanks!

The top one on the list, the greylag goose, was subject to about 68k destructions. In 2011 the number of greylag geese in the UK was 140k. In 2008 it was 86k and in 1930 it was 500.

They are rated as Least Concern globally, but it seems fair to estimate the number of interventions at about one third to half of the population.

Like Black Mirror, many of the plot lines are distressing. As it's a collection of short stories, being specific about what the particular things are ruins plot devices.

It's not a book to read to cheer yourself up. It's interesting and clever, but I don't feel comfortable unreservedly recommending it to people I don't know. Hence the warning, it's so people who know that they're sensitive to difficult topics, either in general or right now, don't go ploughing in unawares.

Greg Egan wrote a good short story with a related premise: a pathologist investigating evidence discovers the DNA is formed of novel bases. It's called 'The Moat' and is published in the collection 'Axiomatic'.

The whole collection deserves a content warning, but if you enjoy Black Mirror then you'll enjoy these.

They used to be aimed at people struggling to get their Linux machines to connect to projectors, as Macs "just work". They're now aimed at people with Macs in dongle hell.

The legacy is still there, many conferences and events are dominated by Macs, but it's not the 100% share it was a few years ago and the "get a mac" jokes mean something quite different now.

You need to notify users but it doesn't have to be a popup. A clear explanation on a privacy page that is clearly exposed in each page is fine.

You can, or Apple can for a fee?

Deletion then.

I'm not suggesting a European alternative, I'm saying that this does not belong on hackernews.

Asto it being original reporting, that's a little hard for people to factor in when it's entirely blocked.

This article should be switched to an alternative that doesn't have restrictive geofilters or removed.
