Yes, sucking resources away from other users is one reason.
Others: - Your feature or changes almost certainly comes with added complexity and/or bugs. People don't like that. - People resist change just as a matter of being human. Any change needs to overcome this "static friction". - Admitting that you have a better way is also an admission that they've been doing it wrong (or less efficiently) the whole time. People don't like to do admit they are wrong.
A variant of the last possibility: A suggestion for an improvement is also a suggestion that something is not good or perfect, so it sounds like an attack or accusation. Some fanboys will defend any weakness no matter what. Suggest Apple should reactivate the standard file transfer over USB like the first iPod had, and fanboys will defend Apple crippling all their devices and forcing them to use iTunes.
1) The person(s) does not want the software to change at all because they are comfortable with how it works. This is seen all the time when companies are pushing upgrades to a new version of Windows or Office or *insert a different product*
2) Your suggestions are really not all that useful and are rightfully be lambasted
I much more commonly see:
3) Your suggestion sounds like an attack, and fans will automatically defend what they like.
Because IPv4 addresses are valuable ($10 range currently) Having 16.7 Million of them is a nice chunk of change, letting 65K of them go for free seems to be a breach of fiduciary responsibility by someone.
They are not resellable like that, what they have is not property just a reserved allocation, and one that can be revoked if they start treating it as resellable property.
Once a phone call is initiated it poses little or no risk as it continues. If I start a phone call while I'm at a stop light and continue with it I'm really not posing any additional danger to anyone. By comparison taking your eyes off the road to read and write a text message is inherently dangerous any time you are attempting to drive while doing so.
Nope. All evidence shows that it is the conversation on the phone that is dangerous. It doesn't matter if you are doing it handfree or holding the phone in your hand. Having a conversation with a remote person takes 80% of your concentrations and increases your chance of having an accident 100 times.
Actually small governments areon average less corrupt because there is less money worth in corrupting each of them and many more of them overall. It is however counterbalanced by the lack of press many of them have if they are not indepedent states.
You're the first commenter who appears to understand that none of the voice assistants, be it Google's, Amazon's or Apple's, are always listening, they're just locally looking for a specific keyword..
Pendantic: So they are constantly looking? Constantly looking for sounds waves that makes up sounds, but not listening?
Sorry, they ARE constantly listening, they are just no constantly transmitting what they hear to their masters, they only do that when they think it is revelevent to their function.
As he says himself he doesn't code, he "experiment". So for useless fool never making anything useful an unpopular terribly designed and unremarkable scripting language with the shittiest syntax short of mocklangs would be perfect.
The argument against handing off ICANN to a multi-country board rather than keeping it controlled by the US commerce department was fear that policies would be imposed by the directors on granting names. examples given were china refusing ICAAN names for falung gong orgs even in other countries.
This seems like the same sort of meddling, only with IP addresses.
It doesn't matter that the policy actually sounds like a good one. Once you start down this road it will suck.
If you paid any attention instead of just trolling, you would notice this action is basically an extension of US government policies of not working with countries with military coups. It is specifically addressing a specific case of a military shutting down the internet while taking over power.
Joanna Bryson, a computer scientist at the University of Bath and a co-author, warned that AI has the potential to reinforce existing biases because, unlike humans, algorithms may be unequipped to consciously counteract learned biases.
"unlike some humans"
There, fixed that for you. Or even better: "like most humans".
Exactly AIs once they approach human intelligence will start of on the stupid end, so it is inevitable they will be Republican to begin with.
Bias does not mean what the authors think it means.
It means exactly what they think it means. Maybe you are confused? It starts out as data, but once it is learned and the AI uses it to act on it is bias. It reinforces old cultural norms on new generations.
Yes but some of the governments of the world doing this try to pretend they are the good guys. For instance following this policy would result in refusing to give new IP space to the US and EU.
Neither the US nor any EU country has shut down the internet nationwide for even for brief periods. An internet shutdown has typically been done in a country on the verge of revolution to cut off the protesters ability to coordinate over US or EU based social media.
The niche only applies when you get to control what you hear. "mainstream stuff" is what you're exposed to any time you're in a mall, at a bar, or forced to deal with your own offspring....
I wish the bars and malls would play mainstream. Malls play elevator music or some kind of soft rock for people over 40, bars play odd techno track or whatever new thing is momentarily hip in bars (but usually not in radio or streaming because it is for a different context)..
Dynamic content - often the page doesn't know the size of the content until it's been served.
Often the page doesn't know the content at all because it is served by a different third-party that may resize it at any point, or overlay normal content. The only thing stopping them is usually that they promised not to.
So I still don't have a facebook account.... can I stop wondering do I or don't I?
If you don't have a facebook account, facebook still has an account on you. Opening the account is the only way to get control of privacy settings to limit what facebook publishes of personal data on you.
No VAT is not collected on every purchase. And it is not actually paid on the full amount of the purchase. It is only paid on the difference between purchase price and sale price. Hence the name: Value added tax. The price before VAT is only useful for accounting purposes in that it is what companies end up paying after they substract the VAT paid on purchase from what they will have to pay on sale.
Probably just as hard as BBC proposed it the way they did as a Trump conspiracy vs a Clinton scandal. Nothing new here.
Why the hell would the BBC care? I thought the guidelines were clear: You had to hate on CNN the Clinton News Network, remember? That's what you are paid for, so don't dally around with that BBC nonsense.
"Challenge accepted!" - Microsoft, Mozilla, tons of app store (cr)apps, several bloated antivirus companies...
Anything that isn't Open Source, would rise to the challenge. When you work as a consultant and see real world production code, you can't sleep well at night.

One of two very very scenarios arises in my mind:
1) The person(s) does not want the software to change at all because they are comfortable with how it works. This is seen all the time when companies are pushing upgrades to a new version of Windows or Office or *insert a different product*

"We are just going to lobby to make your idea Illegal!" How Pathetic! :-P
It already is illegal. 90% of airbnb are regulation breaking hotels, not people renting out their own appartments.
They ported the 'mount' command to Linux! How novel!
What's next, 'dir'?
I think it is the drvfs that is the new thing ;)
Pretty neat syntax and rather flexible. /mnt/d /mnt/sambashare
mount -t drvfs D:
mount -t drvfs "\\server\share"

It's like the people that issue these patents have never seen a computer.
Of course. Only lawyers submit, examine and issue patents.

Yeah, the first thing I though when reading the story was:
"SPANK SPANK SPANK! Naughty programmer!"

Well, depends. In many hotels I have found the 50% off discounted web-prices matches that of the stock price of the day.
OMG, why is the orange back. Why won't that orange go away!
