The biggest reason is when an app update wants escalated permissions it does not need (an app that wants permissions it doesn't need doesn't get installed in the fr0st p1st)
Other reasons include incessant, unnecessary, and unwanted notifications that can't be turned off; and excessive resource usage that kills battery life.
We're simply returning to the feudal roots of modern civilization. Feudalism never really died anyway. It was just cleverly masked with the illusion of ownership.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with measuring employee performance relative to other employees. That's how you identify and promote the most promising candidates for internal promotion, and eliminate people who don't measure up.
What there IS something wrong with is using irrelevant metrics to make those measurements. Goals and deliverables must be objective, reasonable, and attainable. Many companies already named in this thread have a bad habit of setting subjective, unreasonable, and unattainable goals for employees they want to get rid of.
The problem with government-created, artificial markets is that the second the government money stops, so does the artificial market.
Nobody would spend their own money on solar or wind energy, because anyone expecting a return on their investment knows that these are poor investments that are likely to lose money over time.
Government has no problem losing money because they can always just take more from you.
Personally I prefer my home steam generator. It uses 100% renewable, carbon-cycle, eco-friendly biofuel (wood) to generate steam that drives a turbine generator. I can get about 3kW out of my setup.

"Although you can never prove that correlation is equal to causation, certainly the most plausible explanation is that correlation is equal to causation."
It's not the crime, but the thought that counts. After all, this is the USA we're talking about, where thinking about committing a crime is just as bad (or worse) than actually committing it.
You're missing the entire point of the TSA. Security is not the mission of the TSA. It's just a federal make-work program to "create jobs" by taking money from people who would otherwise put it to good use in the economy, and using it to pay for something that nobody wants and that only hinders productivity.

... someone who spends $25,000 on solar panels from installing their system? Am I really supposed to believe that?

... the app will contact a single FCC-hosted server sitting on a 10mbit Ethernet connection in some office somewhere on 12th st.
It's not up to you to decide who does and does not need a truck.
They (the federal government) is not regulating 3D printed guns because they (the federal government) has no right to do so.
What Law are these people protesting? It is perfectly legal to manufacture your own firearm for your own use.

I'm still stuck in 1999 on legacy ADSL. I'm not downloading shit.
The presence of a propane tank does not imply there is propane in it.

What do you mean, "coming soon?"
It's here today, and has been here for quite a while.
I don't run GAAPS on my android phone, and CyanogenMod's Privacy Guard blocks app access to location data, your phonebook, and other private data.

What took the authoritarian statists so long to come up with the "think of the children" defense?

There, fixed the quote...

This is why everything is disposable and nothing works anymore. People are too willing to sacrifice quality and reliability for cost.
No, they're suggesting we should believe it will make things safer, so they can tighten their grip around our throats.

Screw that. My hard drive goes to eleven.
Use Wifi, or bury a Cat7 cable. Kinda surprised you didn't think of that yourself.
