Unless you a training to a specification (e.g. exert this many ft-lbs of force) it's just motivation.
Is there any brand of wrist sensor that doesn't require you to upload your data to their servers by any chance? I love the fitbit sensor, but I wish I could opt out of the server side of the things

When the user clicks on specially targeted ads, they reveal themselves to be part of the group and are individually identifiable.
To a first approximation, yes. There isn't any authentication around following an ad link, so technically anyone could click the ad. But practically, no; nobody's going to randomly click an ad link someone else handed them for funsies. In the common case, the ad company will be able to do conversions on the target demo (and make strong assumptions about the target demo, even if Google doesn't explicitly leak that dat…

I wonder if it'd make sense to have a plugin that'd share ad links in a p2p network just to screw with these people.

On a related tangent, CloudFlare creating a Google Analytics tracker could help lessen Google's tracking. But this battle should've been waged about 10 years ago. It's a shame that Hydra has many formidable heads.
