Very nice job, my friend :) I'll recommend our team to take a look.

Second that! I love the analogy ;)

Ad blocking is here to stay. Some people compare it to antivirus revolution, allowing end users to protect their browsing experience against malware and malicious use of web.

> While I'm not going to complain about a price reduction, I'd honestly be more excited if S3 implemented support for additional headers and redirect rules. Right now, anyone hosting a single page app (e.g. Angular/React) behind S3 and Cloudfront is going to get an F on securityheaders.io.

You can setup "Origin Custom Headers" in CloudFront ;)

Re:Serverless Map/Reduce on Friday November 04, 2016 @01:17PM (#12874209)
Saw the presentation last week at ServerlessConf in London and it really looks very promising. The cost behind this solution is what will really make me check this out :)

P.S. Quoting the author: "As you can see for these queries, the reference implementation performs reasonably well; it's nowhere near Redshift performance for the same queries, but for the price it really can't be beat today"

Welcome, Boron! We've been waiting for you :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback. This demo is not ideal and I agree there is more space for improvements. Would you like to help? :)
Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @02:07PM (#12558808)
I love this idea :) I hope you don't mind if I'll implement it ;)

It might not be very helpful in this context, but I'm an engineer and our company aims to empower publishers and content providers offer the best reader experience by building this solution white labeled, with low barrier of entry.

If this will evolve into a standardized web payments API, I'm on the same page with you (I don't think so). But quality journalism is struggling and solo micro-payments won't work, we all agree on that, so how can we help the freedom of speech remain free? Think about it ;)

P. S. By the way, like in software engineering, we target to reuse existing e-commerce (or m-commerce) processes for both authentication and payments, so in theory you should not be asked to create a new account. Instead reuse existing ones.

Thanks for your feedback. Yeah, I don't think we got that far :)
Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @01:24PM (#12558482)
+1 :)
Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @01:24PM (#12558478)
Cool feedback. Thank you! This approach doesn't get you to subscription (although technically it could), but rather allow you to read without unblocking or whitelisting adblockers, and without subscribing or sharing your personal data.
Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @01:20PM (#12558428)
Fair point, but it's not a restaurant and educating readers this etiquette would be really tough. How about pay for reading and refund if you think it's not worth your money? Would you do that?
Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @01:17PM (#12558407)
Agree on short reading articles. How about longer size content? And have a direct correlation / Math formula between how much time you need to "invest" consuming the content vs how much time you need to "spend" up-front in unlocking the content: micro-payments vs ads. Would that work for you?

And, regarding the payment, would you connect with Apple Pay or Amazon Payments or PayPal instead of providing publishers your card directly?

Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @01:14PM (#12558377)
Imagine it's not blurring, but random replacement of alphanumeric characters that quickly replaces the original text in the article. Would you use it that way and which route: micro-payments or ads?
Re:Two Out of Three Young Millennials Now Use an Ad Blocker on Thursday September 22, 2016 @12:49PM (#12558165)
Would you use LA Times if we'd convince them to implement the following user experience:

Re:Disrupting Uber on Sunday July 31, 2016 @10:22AM (#12197066)
It looks like post-Austin exit of Uber and Lyft, smart guys jumped on the opportunity to fill the gap. I really hope Arcade City will be able to provide sustainable & scalable solution!

P. S. I have no affiliation with either Arcade City or Christopher David. Read about this effort here: http://www.vocativ.com/327333/a-world-without-uber-dispatche...
