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.
unless a progressive third party emerges the system will keep getting worse
If a progressive third party emerges, they’ll split the vote with Democrats, making both of them weaker. That’ll just give every election to Republicans and make the country get worse even faster.
The only way to get progressive candidates is by moving the Overton window to the left, and the only way to do that is by voting for Democrats.
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.

It almost did. There was a mob of people just a couple doors away from murdering most of congress and making Trump a dictator.
The only reason Trump failed to end democracy is because he and the rest of the Republican party were just trying things without a real plan.
They have a plan now. If they get a chance to use it, they will be successful.
Tourists choose the safest areas of the country to visit, and they don’t stay very long, so yeah that makes sense. You’re not really escaping gun violence in the USA if you only leave the country for a few days, though.
Google “us homicide rate” and then “mexico homicide rate”. It’ll take you 5 seconds.
Canada would be. Mexico’s homicide rate is almost 5x higher than the USA.

American conservatives haven’t done or said a single thing in good faith in the last half a century. You don’t get to ask others to do what you’re unwilling to do.
The other replies are simplifying too much. Just adding or subtracting in a loop would be far too slow.
A multiplier will find the partial products by using AND gates, and then sum them, which is very similar to long multiplication as they teach you in school. This article explains it pretty well.
Division is more complicated. It’s sort of done like long division, but apparently that is slow and there’s some magic with two’s complements that can make it faster. Honestly I don’t fully understand it yet.
I haven’t said anything on the subject before, because I don’t care very much, but I don’t know what the alternative is supposed to be. It’s not like someone who is that famous can walk into a public airplane without putting her own safety at risk and causing trouble for other passengers.
It’s also well known that conservatives really hate her because she told her fans to vote and these memes are part of their effort to discredit her. Whether the point has any merit or not, it’s obvious who started the trend and who it’s helping.
Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?
Because they’ll never get another interview with him, or most other Republican politicians. It’s a pathetic reason, but that’s all it takes.
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.
