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.
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.
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.

That’s Capcom for you. It doesn’t seem like their mtx ever makes sense to buy.
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.
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.
He’s a human trafficker and a rapist. The women in his videos don’t have a choice but to do what he says.
Most problems I’ve seen between Nvidia and Linux were caused by Wayland. If you’re using Fedora with Gnome (the default) then you can try hitting the gear icon when logging in and choosing “gnome on xorg” (screenshot). That might help with the drivers.
For any other issues, Mint might be easier just because it’s based on Debian, which is immensely popular. It’s more of a well beaten path, and there’s probably more help online for any issues you run into.
If your connection is stable, the latency will more or less be the same, but TCP will consume more bandwidth because of acknowledgement packets, making it harder to keep your connection stable.
On an unstable connection, TCP latency will skyrocket as it resends packets, while UDP will just drop those packets unless the game engine has its own way of resending them. Most engines have that, but they only do it for data that is marked as “important”. For example using an item is important, but the position of your character probably isn’t, because it’ll be updated on the next tick anyway.
If your household income is very low, then your family may not be able to afford to buy a house.
If your family can’t afford to buy a house, then your family doesn’t get counted as a household.
40 have been on the site longer than 2 weeks. I can only filter for less than two weeks, not greater than, so I won’t bother with that, but here’s a summary of the first 5 that have a garage, aren’t pending, and are less than $300k:
“This house needs work and is priced accordingly”
“This is a 55 and older only community.”
A trailer with a detached garage for $250k. That’s just insulting.
A nice condo for $299,900, right where I said most houses would be.
A kind of ugly place for $230k. The description says it only needs cosmetic improvements, so this might actually be a good one to buy.
So hey, in the first 5 there’s one house that seems reasonable. Maybe there are a few more if I go through the rest. Still, for a city of 200k people, being able to count the reasonably priced houses on your fingers is not very good.
Again, families didn’t used to need 2 incomes to buy a house.
Saying that households can still afford houses is tautological. Of course they can, or they wouldn’t be a household.
Not if you hide the pending/contingent ones. They’re basically already sold.
Also, the houses that have a garage and aren’t pending are mostly above $250k. They barely count as being “below $300k”.
And like I said, those cheaper houses sell instantly and for a lot above the asking price, unless there’s something wrong with them that will cost a lot to fix. You can’t actually buy a $250k house for $250k.
Sure, if she finds a lawyer who will work pro bono.
Even then, she and her son will be homeless for a long time before winning anything.
