15、his fraction can be much reduced.By watching what people search for,click on and say online,companies can aim“behavioral”ads at those most likely to buy.In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information:Should advertisers assume that peop

16、le are happy to be tracked and sent behavioral ads?Or should they have explicit permission?In December 2010 Americas Federal Trade Commission(FTC)proposed adding a do not track(DNT)option to internet browsers,so that users could tell advertisers that they did not want to be followed.Microsofts Inter

17、net Explorer and Apples Safari both offer DNT;Googles Chrome is due to do so this year.In February the FTC and Digital Advertising Alliance(DAA)agreed that the industry would get cracking on responding to DNT requests.On May 31st Microsoft Set off the row:It said that Internet Explorer 10,the versio

18、n due to appear windows 8,would have DNT as a default.It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond.Getting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking,although some companies have promised to do so.Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioral ads or whether they are stick

19、ing with Microsofts default,some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone.After all,it has an ad business too,which it says will comply with DNT requests,though it is still working out how.If it is trying to upset Google,which relies almost wholly o

27、 surviving for tens,if not hundreds,of thousands of years.Look up Homo sapiens in the Red List of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature(IUCN),and you will read:Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed,adaptable,currently increasing,and

28、there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.So what does our deep future hold?A growing number of researchers and organizations are now thinking seriously about that question.For example,the Long Now Foundation has its flagship project a medical clock that is designed to st

29、ill be marking time thousands of years hence.Perhaps willfully,it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future.The potential evolution of todays technology,and its social consequences,is dazzlingly complicated,and its perhaps best left to science fiction

31、to the future:we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet,and our species,to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more like

32、ly to be a passing fad.To be sure,the future is not all rosy.But we are now knowledgeable enough to reduce many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans,and to improve the lot of those to come.欢迎您阅读并下载本文档，本文档来源于互联网，如有侵权请联系删除！我们将竭诚为您提供优质的文档！新东方在线考研 新东方在线考研 8 31.Our vision of the f

38、mmigrations law.The Constitutional principles that Washington alone has the power to establish a uniform Rule of Anturalization and that federal laws precede state laws are noncontroversial.Arizona had attempted to fashion state police that ran to the existing federal ones.Justice Anthony Kennedy,jo

39、ined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the Courts liberals,ruled that the state flew too close to the federal sun.On the overturned provisions the majority held the congress had deliberately occupied the field and Arizona had thus intruded on the federals privileged powers However,the Justices said

40、that Arizona police would be allowed to verify the legal status of people who come in contact with law enforcement.Thats because Congress has always envisioned joint federal-state immigration enforcement and explicitly encourages state officers to share information and cooperate with federal colleag

43、complied with federal statutes to the letter.In effect,the White House claimed that it could invalidate any otherwise legitimate state law that it disagrees with.Some powers do belong exclusively to the federal government,and control of citizenship and the borders is among them.But if Congress wante
