Google is buying your data, not selling it. They use it to make their ad platform more effective, and selling the data would just help their competitors.
The NSA does collect data from third parties like Google, but not just anyone can buy it from them.

I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.
Or for another example, see Andrew Tate and all the idiots who follow him.
Statistically no, it’s not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has “bad areas”, though.
You think in Reddit’s 20 year history no one has thought of indexing comments for data science workloads?
I’m sure they have, but an index doesn’t have anything to do with the python library you mentioned.
Analytics workflows are never run on the production database, always on read replicas
Sure, either that or aggregating live streams of data, but either way it doesn’t have anything to do with ElasticSearch.
It’s still totally possible to sync things to ElasticSearch in a way that won’t affect performance on the production servers, but I’m just saying it’s not entirely trivial, especially at the scale reddit operates at, and there’s a cost for those extra servers and storage to consider as well.
It’s hard for us to say if that math works out.
It’s incredibly naive to think that they don’t have a vested interest in identifying organic engagement
You would think, but you could say the same about Facebook and I know from experience that they don’t give a fuck about bots. If anything they actually like the bots because it looks like they have more users.
MAP (minimum advertised price) is often different from MSRP, but otherwise this comment is correct.
In some industries, like RVs or auto parts, the vast majority of products have a MAP. The manufacturers also have bots that scan the internet for MAP violations, and they’ll blacklist a vendor if they don’t fix the price within a day or two. (Which is really annoying when there’s a false positive and I get blamed for it.)
I think it’s partly so high volume vendors can’t put smaller vendors out of business by just reducing their margins as much as possible, and it’s partly because the manufacturer doesn’t want their products to look like they’re really cheap. Customers feel better about finding a “great deal” on an “expensive” product.
Aside from the island, Wisconsin has 7 different towns named Washington, though most of them have a population in the hundreds.
Of course they have nothing on Indiana, which has 46 towns named Washington, or Iowa, which has 49.

Blargerer is probably saying that because the Mastodon post OP linked to says “In 2016 the EU Commission confirmed in writing that adblock detection requires consent.”
That, in turn, is probably referring to a letter received from the European Commission by the same person, which you can see here: https://twitter.com/alexanderhanff/status/722861362607747072
It’s not exactly a “ruling”, but it’s still pretty convincing.
You’re still trying to change the subject and not answering the question.
How exactly do you think someone can be anonymous to the government if they’re not anonymous to the public?
We’re not talking about doxxing. Don’t change the subject.
How exactly do you think someone can be anonymous to the government if they’re not anonymous to the public?
The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A frequently cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission reads:
Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.
Abducting thousands of Ukrainian children, indoctrinating them with propaganda, and forcing them to live as Russian citizens is genocide.
Performing forced sterilizations on Uyghurs is genocide.
Thanks for demonstrating what I said, though. It’s clear you don’t see any problem with those things.
Capitalism=bad Genocide=bad Opression in any form=bad
Unless Russia or China do it. You left that part out.
A lemmygrad user condemning Israel for genocide is the purest form of hypocrisy I’ve ever seen. Make up your fucking mind.
That’s a foolish assumption. Plenty of countries have strong reasons to weaken Israel, and plenty of other countries have strong reasons to support them.
Russia and China are spreading as much propaganda about this as the the US and its allies, guaranteed.
They do, most of the time. For example if you upload an heic file from an iPhone to a file input on a website that doesn’t accept heic files, it’ll upload a jpeg.
Apple can’t see or control all the different ways of transferring files, though, so in practice it still causes problems sometimes.
The strange thing is that some Android phones also save photos as heic files and make no attempt to convert them, so I still had to add logic to my websites to convert them myself.
