Yeah, I manage the infrastructure for almost 150 WordPress sites, and I moved them all to ARM servers a while ago, because they’re 10% or 20% cheaper on AWS.
Websites are rarely bottlenecked by the CPU, so that power efficiency is very significant.

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.
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.

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.
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.
He’s a human trafficker and a rapist. The women in his videos don’t have a choice but to do what he says.
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.
The average individual income in Michigan, where houses are actually selling for around $300k, is $34,768. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/MI/INC110221
That doesn’t give the median, but it’s lower. Those numbers are always thrown off by a few rich people.

Lol they’re mostly trailers
People didn’t used to need a second income to afford a house. Now they do.
Household income doesn’t show that change. Individual income does.
Well yeah, they’re just blocking known fingerprinting services. If you use a tool that they don’t recognize, it’ll still work, but their approach will still block the big companies that can do the most harm with that data.
The only alternative is probably to disable WebGL entirely, which isn’t a reasonable thing to do by default.
