Well, have fun blocking only on specific urls, basically every time something "unwanted" and "wanted" share a hostname.
OTOH, a hosts file does have it's own use, you can apply it easily enough for a WLAN, while filtering on http urls is way uglier, without running an application level proxy on your router, which again is far from trivial.
The APK link on the other hand looks a little bit like spam to me.
Dead, Inc. offers this incredible new service, dispose the your ex, for a dynamic fee.
And these pesky authorities around the globe insist that it's murder and illegal. Obviously the authorities want to protect the interests of divorce lawyers.
Basically Uber decided to ignore local laws in most jurisdictions, so I think they should be happy that they are just ordered to cease operating, instead of getting a confiscation order for their illegal gains.
Affordable 3G (big enough data a package, or flat fee) is probably way more useful.
4G just mean that you can in theory use one GB in 1-2 minutes.
Another thing you might want consider is that you probably don't want to be reach able transparently, personal experience show that getting voice calls during the night (locally) just to say Hi is not only expensive but also gets boring really quick.
Because the police is not interested in catching the criminal. They are interestesting in arresting somebody that could get realistically convicted.
they need the statistics to look good.
police officers have been known to get the wrong belief.
police officers do lie, and they commit perjury. Can land you in innocently in death row. (And the funny part is, because a crime needs to be proven, and many of the crimes that law enforcment commits require intend, and intend is always very hard to prove, these creeps tend to go home freely.)
From having seen it myself, an interrogation is quite often not much better than bullying the "suspect" into confessing. "Ok, so you don't want to confess, no problem, let us book you, and we'll talk again with you when you've lost your job for not being there for some days. In the meantime we'll probably have to check on all your family, bring them in for interrogation, I'm sure their employers will be understanding if we question them for a day,...." While many innocent people might be okay with fighting for their innocence, see how many won't try to avoid pulling their family into the hole?
So basically, never talk to the police tends to be a good starting point. Try to prepare mentally. Use any breaks the system allows you, and that means "do not talk" and "ask for a lawyer". Fact is that nearly everything you say can be twisted into making you look bad.
US government drone strikes and bombings have killed thousands of people in the middle-east. In fact, thousands more than were killed in 9/11. Often, civilian "collateral damage" is considered perfectly OK.
The fact that the US Government kills innocent people does not give us the right to kill innocent people ala Timothy McVeigh.
True. And McVeigh was mostly a home-made terrorist.
That still leaves some issues:
How do you influence a government (and their private sector buddies, let's call them the "elite")? They've shown many times that they don't really care much about their constituents. Plus they've shown time over time, that they don't consider them bound by the rule of law.
One has to wonder how the press in GB at the time described the Founding Fathers. Wonder if they were described as nice loving freedom fighters. And how the current press (current language usage, morals, understandings, would describe the situation in the colonies.
This is basically how "data protection" (I guess US people would call it privacy) works currently in the EU.
The issue is, that while the broad outline is the same everywhere in the EU, the law is implemented slightly differently everywhere. And how strongly the authorities are enforcing it is also a local detail. E.g. that's why many US companies have their local subsidiary in Ireland, it's not only taxes, but also the fact that Irish authorities are kind of friendly in regards to their business models.
While I know that negative experiences stick longer in memory, the best commercial support experience that I had was when the vendor just was slightly sluggish (as in taking months even acknowledging a bug report. Considering that the bug reporter was a really big customer.). Other cases where more like active sabotage (e.g. telling us that our replacement hardware will be delivered the day after tomorrow, surprise, surprise, one day before delivery the order disappeared from their tracking system). In other cases getting correct firmware updates worked only by knowing personally people at the vendor, while the official "premium" support claimed that the servers in our data centre cannot be there, because this model is not being yet delivered to customers.
So don't talk about "commercial" support, it's usually not worth the bother.
The EU is currently working on regulating payment systems, and there is still an option that they will force easy (well easier) access to new players to the market.
What good relationship? The reason Obama has been popular for some time is related more to the fact that the Bush administration had any number of very unpopular policies here around, and Obama claimed that he'll change them when elected. The sad part is, that he did not change them, he continued them or even enlarged them. The only big promise that he kept at least partially, was stopping all these "illegal stuff". Alas, he stopped it be legalizing the practices in most cases, so lawyerish he's correct, he stopped all these "illegal practices", although many people (voters or not) probably took him to mean that he'll stop the practices and not just legalize them;)
Actually, the funny part is, that spying on Mrs. Merkel phone is the NSAs job. And she's got a number of people whose job it is to prevent such spying. Technically, btw, as far as it's known, only Merkel's private (or technically party) mobile has been intercepted. In effect most relevant stuff was certainly interceptable => because her communication partners have to rely on "normal" communication systems designed to be easily intercepted.
Spying on the whole German population is the big issue. Mass-surveillance is a problem, it violates basically the 4th ammendment (and their local counterparts, e.g. in Germany, as you've mentioned the example, it's the "Fernmeldegeheimnis", communication privacy that is a constituional basic right). One of the things that was disliked about the Britons back than that they used to do basically warrentless searches, for whatever reason.
Now consider that the NSA wants all electronic communication world wide, and that naturally includes communication by US citizens at home. So think, if the population (because the political caste in D.C. is way less interested) manages to forbid domestic mass surveillance, And they manage to make it stick (against a bureacracy shredded into multiple layers of secrecy for the "common good", invoking "national security" every second sentence). Now what do you think will keep the NSA from asking their British friends to do some spying, under supervision for them? A good pretence would be e.g. "Safety of NATO personal deployed in the US", that's what the German BND (which is mostly forbidden to work inside the borders) did, just ask the allied agency that have the right to spy (via the NATO treaty and related "formerly secret" treaties) in Germany. Not probable, but the British inteligence community is very intimate with the US, even more than the other members of the "Five Eyes" club.
So basically, what we've got are highly unregulated secret organizations (where even the official oversight, usually from the legeslative branch has not enough insight, and still has to rely on the perps themselves not to lie), which have shown in the past a tendency to work around any legal issues very creatively, by doing the illegal thing (and cover it under the "national security" tag, to avoid scrutiny), by interpreting law in fascinating ways (e.g. creative interpretations of the Patriot Act, rubber stamp it at the FISA Court, and again we wouldn't want independent analysis if the legal creative interpretation is okay, so it's a question of "national security"),...
And if everything else breaks, split the bad stuff up internationally, there are enough allied spooks that are not explicitly forbidden to do the bad deed in question,... "And no, Senator, we cannot tell you that, because that information "belongs" to an allied foreign agency, and sharing it would endanger international cooperation, and you know, that cannot be allowed, because the bad bad terrorists would win."
You do realize that having stayed in the Windows camp, they would have one migration more, because they're (12 years ago) migration target Windows XP is unsupported.
The problem is, that climate change is something that up to a certain point is natural (research it, climate change has happened over the centuries, with sometime grave side effects for humans), the nuclear waste is highly toxic (the radiation is not noticable without technical kit, you'll just notice that all kinds of life forms start to die, seen it in person, but any numbers of elements present in the waste output is also chemically toxic to humans), and it will need safe storage for a multiple of the time span that modern humans have existed (the convinient time unit for measuring half-life is MILLIONS of years, and that's only the half-life => after millions of years (for some elements it's only 0.1 millions years) half the stuff has decayed, so half of the original bad stuff is still there, PLUS some of the decay products might be still radiating/toxic)
Now, consider how much we know about the Egyptian pyramids (e.g. we are still figuring almost everything about them out), and these are less than 5K years old).
So exactly how these far planning corporation that cannot budget correctly for the demantling of the plants (which funnily is a very common thing) plan to safe keep the stuff for 1 million years? It's not as if they have budgeted for lifting the stuff from Earth to drop it into the Sun.
So basically it's yet again an example of "private profit" + "community risks/costs". And while Communism sucks, this half-version of Communism (good private, bad shared by all) sucks even more.
Exactly, they produce stuff that is dangerous to life for time spans that are expressed in millions of years.
Put bluntly, this stuff will need safe keeping for way longer than the modern human has existed.
This is not comparable to CO2, which might have side effects on climate, but CO2 is a biologically safe gas, actually humans produce it themselves all the time breathing.

Guess the guys should have thought what the benefits but also drawbacks and costs are. Not only for them, but for all people involved.

Guess with current roaming fees, 4G is a really quick way to create a 5-6 digit bill

The only drawback is that law enforcement can ruin almost any person that relies on their work to feed themselves and their family. With impunity.
Yes, think about the kids. I mean they will be devasted if you require them to learn something.

That still leaves some issues:
Does not change the fact that in practice many businesses have similar (sometimes less, sometimes more) regulation in the US than in the EU?
And they employ similar tactics, e.g. jurisdiction shopping.
This is basically how "data protection" (I guess US people would call it privacy) works currently in the EU.
The issue is, that while the broad outline is the same everywhere in the EU, the law is implemented slightly differently everywhere. And how strongly the authorities are enforcing it is also a local detail. E.g. that's why many US companies have their local subsidiary in Ireland, it's not only taxes, but also the fact that Irish authorities are kind of friendly in regards to their business models.
Well, as we already know, private keys in the US not necessarily private.
Even a simple court order might end up with giving normal "law enforcement" personal access to the private key.
The NSA does not operate with THAT much publicity.
Ever worked with commercial support?
While I know that negative experiences stick longer in memory, the best commercial support experience that I had was when the vendor just was slightly sluggish (as in taking months even acknowledging a bug report. Considering that the bug reporter was a really big customer.).

Well, that's not an issue, beside any performance aspects, all PCIe cards can work with more narrow connections.

Small reactors have still the unsolved "spent fuel" == "highly toxic waste that stays so for an eternity" issue
No problem. 40K debt. No problem, but notice that these cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy. So as long as these guys pay up, there is no issue.
