The Hiya app lets you block calls that start with a particular string. It looks like the app allows for blocking just an area code. The only downside is that numbers being blocked by Hiya will sometimes start to ring for like a quarter of a

You can go into your account settings under Personal Info and Privacy\Manage Your Google Activity and toggle your location history if you want to turn it off, but I've never had them update me via email. Given how much information is i

Replying to cbr/muro - those are emails about specific people that you have allowed to see your location data. The NC police are getting warrants for everyone in an area's location data. It doesn't matter if you've share

I've known a couple of folks who worked in gaming and it sounds pretty hellish. I would second thrownaway954's comment about finding jobs that take advantage of your programming background, and especially in security. Being able t

Not according to TFA. Do you have a source for your counterassertion? I doubt Tyler Rogoway would get such a point of fact incorrect - even when I've disagreed with his analysis I've never found him to be dishonest.

The US, Israelis, and Saudis, among plenty of others, have engaged in campaigns to influence foreign elections, no doubt. I think lumping them all in as information warfare campaigns with the most recent Russian activity is misleading, thou

Russia has been doing information warfare very effectively since the Czars, and this seems like one more place where they've outmaneuvered us. I've found it frustrating how little discussion and coverage of Russian activity addres

A number of folks have asked if anyone knows more details on how a false alert could have been issued. I had some exposure to conversations about these alerts a few years ago, so a few thoughts. This isn't based on extensive experience

I bought a license for this after having a series of problems with the Google Drive app, which was quite buggy and unreliable on syncing. Problems went away as soon as I switched to InSync, and it has been rocksolid for over a year and a ha

If you're using Linux for work, be careful with AMD - I had no end of trouble with the video drivers. Everytime the kernel updated the screen would only be black with the drivers installed. I had to go through an elaborate process of u

Lawyers in most jurisdictions are required to take Continuing Legal Education courses, but my experience was they were of limited use and the ongoing practice of law kept me far more current about legal trends than the courses did. They se

I've got an older version ( https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Hf3470-Wake-up-Light-White/dp... ), I've never noticed any buzzing. Can't say I have supersensitive hearing but I tend to notice things like that

I agree in that I go to Whole Foods or a similar store over mass market choices like Walmart, but even at Whole Foods you're not necessarily getting the best form of supplement in those generics. Differences between bio-availability o

Fastmail is quite reliable, and they support CalDAV and CardDAV. Their android email client is fast but doesn't work offline--fortunately they support IMAP Push and work very well with whatever 3rd party email client you prefer. I ha

It wouldn't take a particularly imaginative plaintiff's attorney to come up with a strong argument that Airbnb itself is culpable for enabling discriminatory behavior. AirBnB would have deep pockets, which makes them a juicy plai

"Peter Schiff said back in January that the US would have a big recession this year. If we don’t have a recession this year, people will forget Schiff’s false prediction, as well as false predictions of major crises in the US in 2015 a

Shame they didn't go with Indiegogo, so they'd be able to keep whatever was pledged and try to work out a way to meet the gap.

Right, the legislator is referring to civil asset forfeiture, which is what the devices in the OP's article does too--just now they will steal money from your bank account if you happen to have your debit card with you instead of just

uMatrix looks heavy duty but effective. I'd never heard of it before--it looks like it could replace my user-string randomizer extension as well as Noscript and uBlock, which makes it worth a strong look. I've already found some

ScriptSafe for Chrome. DisConnect or Ghostery maybe? Not quite the same, but they do break web pages just as well as NoScript. :) I'm hoping someone else posts some reasonably user-friendly alternatives. Adblockers can be manageable

This is correct--I've had conflicts and a second kdbx file is created with conflicted copy and the date of the conflict in the filename. It's a small pain to go through and figure out which item is out of sync, but doable.

Read this back to back with grugq's post today, although standing on its own the level of vitriol Farr describes over the LT would give me pause: http://grugq.tumblr.com/post/145440005263 "Why Misogynists Mak

You're definitely welcome. My folks have been through this recently, as well. Smart practices like using a password manager to segregate all accounts with different passwords can help to protect ourselves from poor security practices

Vonklaus - the link you posted with the details is coming up with errors in viewing for me, FYI. Technically, you've clearly got an understanding of the fix, so I won't waste a lot of time on that. I wanted to speak to the rest t

This is even more true for social benefit companies. When I attended Netsquared in 2008 it was immediately apparent that the products with the most promise for developing countries were mobile products--for many in developing countries mob
