Looks like you can get into this business pretty cheap. A 15x15x15 foot printer is only $39k
Until we get to the point that we no longer need a pound and a half of extra plastic strapped to our faces to see the matrix, I'm fairly certain we aren't living in it- yet.
And if, as the study shows- the stress of the 9 months of pregnancy is equivalent to two years of life, and the woman only gets back a large portion of that investment with engaging in breastfeeding- then does a late-term abortion also abort the positive portions of birth and breastfeeding?
Host your own ads instead of trusting a third party won't insert something malicious deliberately or through incompetence.
How does the publisher of a newly launched website go about seeking advertisers to advertise on that website without going through a network or exchange?
Javascript is great to make a web page slicker but should not be needed just to see it.
How would you make, say, an IRC to HTTP proxy without JavaScript? Would it be practical to require the user to periodically press F5 to refresh the view of the channel to check for new messages sent to the channel?
As a general rule, if your site breaks because of that I go somewhere else.
Is gracefully falling back to a subscription prompt considered "breaking"? Otherwise, if every viewer were to block ads, how would a website's writers continue to eat?
20-30 MB of downloads happen in a flash on modern broadband anyways so I don't see this as a problem.
20 to 30 MB per page in a flash is a good way to blow through your monthly mobile Internet data transfer quota in a day, leaving you without mobile Internet access for 29 days until your cap resets.
The bloat is amazing, devs see no reason to optimize as everyone is on 4G/LTE mobile or 100mbit connections so data transfer isn't a concern.
Do users on 4G/LTE mobile stop visiting your site when they run out of Internet data transfer quota for the month?
Since ads pay for the pages, I am not sure what we can really do.
Some hardliners on this site have recommended that viewers stop patronizing websites run as a business and start patronizing more websites run by the public sector, by charities, or by enthusiasts as a hobby out of said enthusiasts' own pocket. What makes this practical or impractical?
bandwidth to the user is up 100 to 1000 times.
Is that per second or per month? I'm under the impression that a lot of people are still stuck on satellite or cellular Internet access with a monthly Internet data transfer quota in low double digit gigabytes or even in the single digit gigabytes.
Google Search used to offer a way to save what amounted to a list of -site: clauses to your Google Account for automatic use in each subsequent query. This feature no longer exists.

Only if you're recycling the plastic into more plastic. And that's worthless.
What you should be doing is recycling it back into fuel for electricity production- but nobody wants that even with all the scrubbers- they made it illegal to EVER open a 2nd garbage burning electric plant in Oregon.
R. Edward "Ted" Cruz and N. Nikki Haley are as legitimate as H. Ross Perot and W. Mitt Romney. But then again, if Cruz's first name is Rafael, that makes him a Ninja Turtle's namesake.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
