I just wrote to my senators and representative in congress, and I urge everyone else to do the same. It is unacceptable that our personal information is so easily sold to 3rd parties by our cell phone carriers, with no way to opt-out.

Are there any US carriers that have been confirmed to not share location data with 3rd parties such as LocationSmart? LocationSmart boasts on their website that they can get the location of 95% of the cell phones in the US... how can I be

Looks like Cricket will give personal information to AT&T: "Cricket is an AT&T company and we share your Personal Information with AT&T and other companies in the AT&T family, commonly referred to as affiliates, for a v

That either means LocationSmart doesn’t have access to location data from Cricket, or it’s not working for some other reason. LocationSmart’s website says they can get location of 95% of cell phones in the US. I’m tempted to try and call th

Cricket's Privacy Policy looks much better than T-Mobile's or Google Fi's: "We will not sell your personal information to anyone, for any purpose. Period." https://www.cricketwireless.com/privacy Bu

I would be interested to know about that... I don't see anything mentioned in the Project Fi Terms of Service ( https://fi.google.com/about/tos/ ) about Sprint, T-Mobile, or US Cellular. I assume that by signin

Switching from T-Mobile to Google Fi might be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire ;) The Google Fi Terms of Service says they are collecting location data: "When your device is turned on or when you use the Services, we may

I believe the relevant T-Mobile privacy policy (that I definitely read before signing up...) is: "With your consent. We may provide location-based services or provide third parties with access to your approximate location to provide

I have had those disabled on my T-Mobile account since I opened it a few years ago, but I was still able to get the location of my cell phone on https://www.locationsmart.com/try If you find another place to opt-out, let me

Thank you for your detailed responses! It really shows that System76 is working hard for their customers.

Yep, this is the correct answer! I was just writing up something similar, but you beat me to it. This is the expected behavior if the `data` variable has newlines between every word: $ echo ${data} testfile1 testfile2 testfile3 testf

Nonsense! Anyone can become rich if they just want to! For those who don't buy the OP's argument and want to get rich quick, I'm looking for investors for my ICO. It's like bitcoin but for people who like to eat pizza. \

Maybe it was pair programming on the partner’s computer, with most of the work being done by the candidate? I feed bad that they got immediately rejected for something that could have easily been fact checked by a few interview questions.

Yes. I have done this with Spotify on many car trips :) clarifying edit: This is for the paid version of Spotify. I've never used the free version but I believe that it plays ads in between songs.

That is 3 incidents over 5 years. I don’t think that is too much of a statistical anomaly. One of the injuries was from a pedestrian stepping into the bike lane without looking, one was from a car merging into me, and one was from a collis

This article has some issues, the first struct in Example #1 is only compiled by GCC with a size of 2 if it has the packed attribute. Other compilers may behave differently which is exactly why bit-fields should be avoided. The behavior of

I am also interested in what ESA is using... I have used VectorCAST to generate MC/DC coverage reports for C programs. The interface is a pain to deal with and it crashed regularly, but it did the job.

Walk-on passengers don’t necessarily walk off, they can get in a car and drive off if they meet someone on the ferry (as I have done before when running into family on the same ferry). It’s difficult to count every passenger in every car a

Presumably the 3k/month would supplement your already existing funding or make it easier to achieve ramen profitability. You wouldn't want to rely on the 3k alone.

I switched from Gmail to Fastmail a few years ago and couldn’t be happier. I much prefer to pay for a product than be the product.
