For yourself. However you are unable to break that problem down into tokens that can be taught to someone else or, say, programmed into a robot. Therefore although you might be good at catching a ball as an individual, you haven't solved the problem that those less adept than you face when put in the same situation.
Except he might not like classical music anymore, he might have grown out of Sci Fi, and he might have moved from BDSM to scat. Habits change - there's a mistaken assumption out there that they stay the same - so you keep getting spammed for ads for new barbecue sets right after you just bought a new barbecue - umm hello. Waste of an ad.
A limiter to your theory, however, is that all data has a "half life". Password and emails change. People move. People die. Over time the data in the database (sorry for the redundant redundancy) becomes more stale and inaccurate until, at some point in the future, using said database results in more "misses" than hits.
Perhaps there is a silver lining behind that cloud after all.
Fortunately society is (usually) ruled by law, and not your highly subjective emotions on what you think is fair or not. One man's jerk is another man's hero.
Brought to you from the same school of thought that claims downloaded songs are costing the artists billions of dollars per year.
What Google is doing is perfectly legal, therefore it's not "costing" the US government anything. There's a difference between tax avoidance (not paying any tax you don't have to) and tax evasion (not paying taxes you have to). And while some governments bend over backwards to equate the two, the short version is that if there's no law against it, it's ok and said government can go to hell.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. It doesn't matter if you call yourself "liberal" or "conservative" - the game is over, and you have already been bought and sold. Enjoy your vote, for the consolation it gives you.
Weasel words: Why "made by the public"? Why not "made by everybody"? After all, if they're only tracking who the call is made to and not the content of the message, what does the government have to fear?
One law for the people, and a different law for the government.
While I agree that direct confrontation would probably be mutual suicide since both countries can't win, perhaps a valid Chinese goal would be to invade or otherwise coerce other countries within its region, much like the Japanese in WW2. They don't have to beat the US - they just have to be strong enough to make the US not want to attack.
But in the long term the US is screwed. 10% growth vs 1.7% growth - it will not take the Chinese long to catch up at this rate.

So don't rush out buying land before checking an elevation chart.
Or get flood insurance?
Only idiots deny global warming. That it is anthropogenic, however, still remains to be seen.
As if Canada didn't already have a bounty of unexploited natural resources. Shouldn't make much difference.
I've still solved the problem.

Your tax dollars at work...
Gee, and other operating systems NEVER change...
Two keywords:
POST EVENT
ie there is no "prediction" of the event - only of its impact on nearby humans. Sensationalism at its best.
makes you feel like a 14 year old girl again
Speaking as the parent of two teenage girls, feeling like a 14 year old girl is not a good thing at all.
it was a distraction manufactured by the government to draw attention away from the issue at hand.
Kinda like the past 9 years in the US...
Clicking an ad turns you gay, according to TFA.

And Google pays no property taxes at all? Plus I'm sure the 2.4% they pay more than covers the maintenance on the roads. Think harder.
Law is designed in an attempt to be fair
Thus if you don't break the law, you are being fair.

They're using infrastructure and employees that were constructed and educated using American tax money,
Which infrastructure would that be? Please give examples of US government infrastructure being exploited by Google.

Because now you can shave with it.
I wish Parliament published comments along with the Acts so we have an easier time judging legislative intent.
Translation: tell me what to think!
Please - use your fucking head when judging, that was what the "intent" of having a judicial branch was.
100% of people doesn't care for 100% of laws.
You realize that with this statement you are saying that lawyers are not people. Well done!
My ancestors moved, hewed and placed those rocks,
Er not really. The druids were pretty much all killed off by the Romans, so in reality none of "us" built stonehenge...

Amazing, considering Australia was founded by thieves, murderers and whores.
