I find it shocking that someone thought it was a good idea to list a flat on airbnb that they're only renting themselves. Largely in England subletting is not allowed under the terms of rental agreements.
Yeah, that's one thing I wasn't clear on from the story, whether or not the host was violating the terms of his lease.
It's not just in England. In the US, while subleasing is sometimes allowed it is almost always forbidden for short-term rentals. Many landlords now include explicit "no AirBnB renters" clauses in leases as AirBnB has become more popular.
Does your IDE/editor support copying out as rich text? The ones I tried did and it worked. Maybe there's a setting for copying out with styles. If not, this isn't a use case I've primarily worked on yet, but I can try to support it later.
I can't see any such option in Atom, Sublime, or Eclipse to copy as rich text.
To be fair I didn't really expect it to work with automagically copying the syntax highlighting from my IDE, but it made it sound like it could.
It's definitely a useful project, and surprising that nothing else like it exists, but may be worth making it clearer that it's designed for rich text, and may or may not work with formatting when pasting for various programs.
Fair, I think I extrapolated too eagerly. Will think of a solution, including dropping the code use case. Terminal and web based output works at least.
No, because, as per the help page https://petition.parliament.uk/help, only British citizens/UK residents are eligible to vote. No point undermining a legitimate process with illegitimate entries.
So... are the ISPs instructed to record only domestic connections? Or am I being surveilled too if I happen to connect to an ip address located in the UK? Or similarly, if a UK resident happens to connect to me?
It's irrelevant really in terms of the petition, as the site is a mechanism for British citizens to bring their concerns to the attention of parliament. I assume you would have to go down a different avenue to lodge your objections.
Note that I agree with your sentiment, just that that is what the site is for!
To anyone nitpicking, unless the headline has been changed since submission, the author actually says they built it "by hand", rather than "from scratch".
