It's 100% Google saves my data. And gives me an option to delete that data. It uses that data, and while I have some degree of control over it, i don't have full control over it.
As a user it's preposterous that any kind of data generated by me is anonymized (or not) and effectively sold to a third party. First party usage is kind of understandable. What YC and the govt is asking is that Google should be forced to do exactly that? Sell some data points about me generated by my interactions without my consent. That too it seems for no fee. Without even asking for the permission from the users. What kind of clown world are we living in? I dont care if its anonymized.
Presumably, if that data is so useful, why dont all of these companies lining up to pay the users?Take permission from the users, pay them, and then use whatever they want. Data is only useful in the aggregate, pay ln the aggregate too for whatever revenue and market cap they reach. Doing it without the user consent in 2025 is weird.

Because users are lining up to give away their data.

I'm ignorant when it comes to physics, admittedly, so please forgive me if my question has an obvious answer... But when I read articles like this, in particular when they mention branes, I want to ask: How do we know that dark matter is not just some interaction coming from the "bulk"?
We don't know! But we also can't feasibly test for something like that.

How is this better than configuring an iptables redirection?

But do have control over how the data parcels causing load are partitioned/preped before being parceled out. (which requires knowledge of resource metrics/topology-- distributed resources within computing box vs. distributed external computing resources ).
Pre-modern computing, load balancing was a telecommunications field thing. Cloud computing is the modern 'load balancing' take.
I'm familiar with the "modern load balancing" take. Modern load balancers, like you'd find in any cloud vendor or OSS project like envoy/nginx/haproxy, learn about the endpoints it is balancing across via some service discovery mechanism. DNS is usually what you find, but there are other ways like envoy's xds mechanism.
When you generalize this by saying "cloud computing", it glosses over the fact that there's still a fleet of load balancers somewhere. When you use an NLB or ALB in AWS, there are many machines behind the scene and a very complex control plane providing those machines with the information they need to balance load.
The problem I'm talking about still exists here. I _know_ they have this problem because I'm familiar with how those systems are built and I know what shortcomings they have.

Is there accessible documentation which covers installation & non-functional requirements (aka hardware/software requirements & how to setup/use the solution)
I can write these things, and I assume it will be necessary for anything someone pays for, but I'm mainly just asking a question so I can learn about how people would monetize these things (if it's even possible to) nowadays.

> but this doesn't work very well for reasons.
Which reasons? In my experience/exposure, people are perfectly happy with Proxmox on a big GPU-laden boxen.
I didn't mean to imply that this is a problem with arbitrary machines that have GPUs. There are specific kinds of applications that use GPUs and because of how they work have hard limits on the number of tasks they can concurrently process on those GPUs.
Either way, I feel like these details are orthogonal to my original question. Do you think it matters?
