Will that one advertisement per website be done without giving my computer malware-like code that tracks me? Will they follow the regulation of advertisements in my country rather than where ever the ad-networks server happens to resides in? Will they respect the personal data protection laws that my government has decided on? Will the publishing website be held liable for the advertisement company complying with said laws?

Somehow I doubt all that. They want "everything to stay the same", and that means keeping the wild west as it current is. I don't.
How Apple’s 3D touch could affect web design and beyond
I remember when I first took it. I got a profound feeling of "oh, I get it now" about the universe - that ultimately we are all connect, as one.

Afterwards, I couldn't work out what it was. For many years, 5 or so to be exact, I've worked backwards from there with much though, research into religion and spirituality, meditation and mindfulness. This also includes several other doses of LSD between then.

The last dose was profound and shared with my soulmate. We lay on our bed, with soothing, space-like/new age/dreamscape music in the background, this was a perfect soundtrack for the experience. The feeling of closeness was immense. Everything melted away, it was as if we had direct access to each other's minds and emotions as though there was no body to separate us. I remember crying genuine, gushing tears of joy at the overwhelming sense of love for her. I don't see anything metaphysical about it but that last experience offered insight into the realisation during my first time and is also an event I look back on positively.

From what I've worked out, I explain the realisation that we are all connected as one like this:

The universe is a beautiful, immense whole composed of vast celestial bodies and ourselves, as part of that. Everything we see on earth is the universe. What is most interestng and profound is the idea that we are a part of the universe than can observe itself in it's wonderful entirety. From this, you realise the folly of violence, wars and how our world currently works. By hurting others of allowing them to get hurt, we are hurting ourselves.

From my study of religions, I can fit this idea in quite well. This includes new thought, Buddhism and even Christianity. With Christianity in particular, seeing Jesus as someone who got this but had to explain it in terms of the framework of understanding of his day masked sense. It also shows how modern Christianity has moved far and away from this idea.

I don't really share this as it's an untestable and perhaps laughable idea but it has bed a profound spiritual journey for me that has provided a lot of inner value.

My hopes were raised when I saw the keyboard type dialog, but dashed when I looked at the options.
From some content presented in Flash Boys, a question:

Why would large block traders like to trade with someone pinging the market for 100 buy/sell orders, waiting for discovery, and then changing the price on other markets from information gained from these pings? If the market were rid of these pings, as the 350ms delay is intended to do?

Or to put the same question another way, why would a large block trader not like all trades being done at the same price or at a better or equal price on other exchanges (discovered by IEX) rather than some of the block done at the original price and the rest done at a higher price because 'liquidity' was provided by HFTs driving up/down prices on other markets and then selling/buying from the large block trader this 'liquidity'.
I'd agree with you if the users were choosing what to block, but they aren't.

Some developer somewhere is choosing what to block and when their app lets through 2 ads and the competition doesn't let though any people will consider the latter better and use that.

IMO Adblockers make running "nice" safe and efficient ads pointless as you'll just get lumped in with the rest of 'em.

Actually, we can: http://abcnews.go.com/US/exclusive-undercover-dhs-tests-find...

TL;DR: "undercover investigators were able to smuggle mock explosives or banned weapons through checkpoints in 95 percent of trials"

To the extend increased security around air travel deterred anything, it's in the non-airport-screening efforts -- increased/better intelligence is a very plausible source, and the reinforced cockpit doors another.

I will shed no tears when the shitty web advertising business model dies a well-deserved death. They slow down my browser to a crawl, waste my battery life, waste my data cap, invade my privacy, and assault my eyes, all for what? An ad I'm never going to click on anyway.

Interestingly, some of the best content on the web (in my opinion) can be found on websites that do not have ads. They are maintained by people genuinely interested in a topic and have a passion for sharing knowledge.

I'm not saying that gift economy works for everyone, but there certainly are people that are willing to pay from their own pockets. It's not like the web wouldn't exist without ads.

I hear that since Webwasher. And today, with better AdBlocking tools, additional costs for hosts, the Internet is still there.

Plus, with all the copycat sites gone, stopping ads is more likely to make the web a better place, overall.
I'm OK with sites blocking content for those using ad blockers. That seems like a fair balance, and if the content being blocked truly is that important to me, it's a one click disable to give in, or I can probably find a similar story elsewhere. (Though most of the time I don't really care that much to do either.)

I've found that using uBlock origin I don't only block ads, I virtually redesign pages. I remove share buttons, I remove elements I never use on sites I visit frequently. Maybe I'm addicted to simplifying the web in my own image.
Yeah, it's pointless.

9/11 has pretty much eliminated the possibility of a successful hijacking of a commercial flight in the United States, between better security between the cockpit and the cabin, and the fact that if any group of hijackers tries to take over using boxcutters again, they'll be bumrushed by the other passengers and beaten to death. Before, a hijacking usually just meant that your vacation plans got a little upset by a detour to Cuba, before negotiations straightened things out.

The last time I flew, I somehow got shuffled into a preferred-access security line. I showed my passport, and walked through to my gate, no dicking around with taking my shoes off, emptying my pockets out, dumping my laptop out of my bag, none of that garbage, and I was through to the gate 5 minutes after stepping out of the car. I did have to toss the last ounce or two of my coffee - clearly, something that I'm consuming in plain sight of the TSA weenies could be a volatile explosive compound. All in all, it was the best experience I've had with an airport since the days when there was no security. Or when I flew out of Germany or Switzerland.
> That is exactly why I don't share it.

I think the best way to handle this dilemma is to try to sense which of your friends and family members are most open-minded and to start with those. (Personally, I feel like once you've experienced it, it becomes some sort of responsibility to create awareness about it, because the benefit for everybody is just to big to keep quiet.)
And the gap will only increase if the proposed intelligence services act (Wiv20xx) is passed by parliament. The act allows the intelligence services to mass surveillance all electronic communication and forces all service providers (not just telecom providers) to pay for surveillance equipment.

Besides being morally wrong to mass surveillance everyone when the current act already allows the intelligence services to monitor the few thousand potential terrorists and spies, it would also hurt the Dutch economy. International companies would move their European cloud infrastucture to e.g. Germany and Dutch startups providing a communication service (i.e. almost any startup) would be less trusted by their users and run the risk of paying for expensive surveillance equipment.

If you are Dutch i recommend reading the reaction of Nederland ICT [1] to the proposed act.

Mermin put it perhaps most succinctly, that reality is "correlations without correlata", or as Ron Garret coined, the "zero-worlds interpretation"[1]

It also makes sense to me on a sociological level, that the way in which this interpretation seems to undermine the very foundation of western, scientific thought is the reason it has been so desperately avoided for so long, with many preferring to believe in an infinite forking (but somehow still "real) multiverse, than the idea that reality itself is intersubjective.

Prior to the Internet where people and spies communicated using radio, telephones, Telex, telegrams, ... those technologies were intercepted by the security services.

You also have to praise and reward devs for their successes. It's not black and white - you don't have to pick between banter OR praise. You can have both. It's a dynamic. Show them that you care and that they're doing good work, genuinely. Tease them about small mistakes with tools like this, sarcastically and socially, and it helps build up rapport and make the team that much more tightly knit. Pointing out simple mistakes in a tongue in cheek manner is a good way to show someone that they've made a mistake, but it's not a big deal and no one is actually upset with them about it.
I think you may be arguing against points I'm not making; my argument has nothing to do with stopping crime, but is about my desire for perfect recall of everything that ever happens to me. I think we'll get closer and closer to that, but just audio and video of every waking moment would be a huge jump toward it.

Many of the best of those sites rely on reporting from other sites that are ad-supported. You can get excellent analysis for free, but you usually can't get wide-ranging on-the-ground reporting that way.
> I've found that using uBlock origin I don't only block ads, I virtually redesign pages. I remove share buttons, I remove elements I never use on sites I visit frequently. Maybe I'm addicted to simplifying the web in my own image.

Yeah, I find sites like ebay or amazon barely usable without blocking away the fluff.

But I wonder whether that information (blocked non-ad content) is of use for these companies? I could even imagine some companies would pay for access to the (anonymized) data. Granted, that ad blocker usage pattern is probably too obscure (i.e. too few non-geeks do it) to draw reliable conclusions about the general population.
In Chrome the 'Clearly' extension works similarly. Not on mobile sadly.
I haven't lived in the times of Al Capone, but I have lived in a country where Al Capone-like stuff was still happening at the time, and I can confirm this.

Local organized crime leaders had no more disdain for law than most policemen, prosecutors, judges or politicians. However, due to the nature of their activity, they had to maintain a reputation of honesty and reliability.

People feared them, but they were generally true to their word. If you paid the protection tax, your shop was protected. Of course, the tax could be raised without any advance notice, but more astute negotiators generally managed to delay enforcement by a few weeks. But your shop was fine.

Policemen, on the other hand, did nothing of that sort. Even when not actively assisting the crooks, there was no proactive protection of any kind. The police could only step in after your shop was devastated for the first time -- and even then, the usual process was that you'd file a complaint and, after the legally-required 30 days, the local police would send you a short letter saying they couldn't do anything due to lack of evidence. Assuming, that is, that the post office didn't lose the letter.

Law enforcement agents were seen as very unreliable partners: sometimes they'd help civilians, sometimes they'd just stay out of it, and oftentimes they'd blatantly and obviously take the side of the mobster who was paying them to look the other way.

The crooks, on the other hand, were seen as reliable. Yes, they were ruthless, but you could generally count on their help, if you were willing to pay the price.

It's going to redouble the obnoxious tendency of sites to push users to their own apps where they can do essentially whatever they want. I doubt this was an unintended consequence.

Those that remain will eventually move to a model where ads come from the site itself, intermixed with content in such a way that makes blocking virtually impossible. This obviously presents trust issues for ad networks, but it really is the only workable solution.

without even spending a dime

Ads wouldn't work if people never spent a dime. This has been going on for quite some time, so the notion that it's built on nothing -- just a bunch of foolish advertisers giving money for nothing -- has always been folly.
But you have to store things in larger archives or the per-object overhead hurts your pricing. When Glacier first came out I really wanted to use it, but it had so much complexity over just treating it like an object store that I didn't use it. Then add the fact that S3 Standard kept coming down in price and Glacier just stood still (thus the name).
Doubtful. Almost certainly the same storage backend, but IA requests are more aggressively throttled, so there's more chance of requests being rejected. S3's capacity planning then requires less request processing infrastructure to serve IA, so it's cheaper to provide than regular S3.
