They most likely never considered it, as it is not their responsibility.
Once they have delegated a TLD, the entity it is delegated to bear the full responsibility for maintaing that TLD.
This is the way it has always been. Adding new top level TLDs doe note really change anything for ICANN, apart from a doubling in the number of TLDs.
Which would only cause country based TLDs to become unusable for international business and further emphasize that all international business will continue to only care about the.COM TLD (which most of them already do).. And ICANN will not really care...
There are too many shitty TLDs.
We see now that most of the new domains being used in phishing emails are in one of the new TLDs.
It is an ongoing discussion at our company if we should just block most of the new (the unestablished, and non country) TLDs.
I am pretty certain it will happen soon, as no serious business would consider using them anyway. It would not surprise me if others start doing the same. Which would significantly reduce the value of owning a TLD.
>Google is in a position of power to fix this right now. They have servers all over the place and they have market dominance with their Chromium web browser. All it would take is for them to decide to create a next generation IP address identification system, put it on their servers and in their web browser code and BOOM, no more ICANN (or at least, a whole lot less reliance on ICANN)!
That is a joke, I presume? If not it shows that you know absolutely nothing about how DNS works and what it would take to replace it. Hint: Very much of the internet traffic does not involve a web browser.
There are lots of people who think that "GPS tracking" means that it is the GPS satelites that do the tracking. Being accurate (or pedantic) in this case is actually quite useful.
In Norway (one of the countries with the highest percentage EVs) there are charging stations being built in many places. Gas stations, shopping malls,.. many companies offer charging for employees.
There are still challenges around home charging, but with close to 40% of new cars being EVs (plus waiting lists for most models), people seem to have found solutions.
I was called by a VW salesperson last year, because my current VW is in the two digits age, and at that time he said that VW will launch electric cars based on their new platform in 2019. As this came from a person in VW who actually sell cars, I assume it is official information. So they have announced them, but they have also announced when they will be launched, so what is the problem?
Also, in addition to the racing car, they sell the reasonably successfull e-UP and e-Golf.
I have a dehumidifier. Over time, there is stuff building up, but compared to the amount of water, it is not much. If the choice was between no water and the dehumidifier water, the choice is really simple.
In addition, filtering the water is a very simple thing to do.
Or "developing specialized semiconductors with extreme testing requirelents and a sales potential in the (at best) double digits is extremely expensive."
Mythoughts as well.
I used to have a Dell CPx laptop with 256 MB in the early 2000's, and that worked quite well. Not to even mention Windows 3.1 on 4 MB.
Just out of cutiosity, I googled the RAM requirements for vxorks, and Version 6 from 2004, has the following requirements:
VxWorks CISC processors require 1 MB of RAM for a development system that
includes the standard VxWorks features, such as the shell, network, file system,
loader, and others. RISC processors typically require more RAM space: 2 MB of
RAM is the minimum; 4 MB is encouraged. For a scaled-down production system,
the amount of RAM required depends on the application size and the options
selected.
So 256 MB leaves most of the RAM available for the applications.

We got a family subscription which cost approx. what a CD costs per month.
For somebody actually listening to a lot of different music, that is actually pretty cheap...
Well... my wife got tired of the audio ads in the free version on her mobile. Got a family subscription which is great value.

In Norway we use athentication by app as an option. The app require a PIN for every transaction, so no less secure.
Quite a number of online purchases require 2FA.

The initial mission was for two years. It has since been extended to be "as long as it's scientifically viable".
Let me just take this opportunity to thank you for assuming that I am smarter than I actually am :-)
From the linked Wikipedia article
"The MMRTG is designed to produce 125 W electrical power at the start of mission, falling to about 100 W after 14 years".
Only a fraction of the 2 KW energy is converted to electricity.
Or "developing specialized semiconductors with extreme testing requirelents and a sales potential in the (at best) double digits is extremely expensive."

On second thought, it is.
There are so many reasons this will not work in real life, that it has to be a joke.
I simply stated the same thay you do, that MacOS X is fundamentally different from the previous versions.
Your speculations on what I wil say next is just silly.
MacOS became Unix with MacOS X. Up to and including version 9 it was not Unix.
I did. https://www.google.com/search?...
More people more interested in demonstrating their abusive vocabulary than discussing the subject.
Oh well.
Yes, he did.

That is correct.
But as endpoint computing has moved over to mobile platforms, their real power has been severly deminished.
And as we move even further over to mobile platforms, we may not want Google to be the Microsoft of mobile phones.
