  • That’s the purpose of the government.

    If most of the people want something to be banned, it should be banned. The government works for the people.

    Of course, the definition of “most” varies depending on the issue, it’s not always 50% (looking at you, Brexit).

    Smokers pollute the air in a huge area around them. For the “benefit” of one person they are annoying up to dozens around them.

    Every non-smoker looking to date that I know agrees that they would never date a smoker, that’s for a reason, non-smokers cannot tolerate the smoke. It’s awful.















  • In the world of computers, why would remembering numbers be the stop for new technologies?

    Do you remember anyone’s public key? Certificate?

    I don’t even remember domain (most) names, just Google them or save them as bookmarks or something.

    The reason IPv4 still exists is because ISPs benefit from its scarcity. Big ISPs already paid a lot of money to own IPv4 addresses, if they switched to IPv6 that investnywould be worthless.

    Try selling static IPv6 addresses as they do now with IPv4. People would laugh at them and just get a free IPv6 address from an ISP that wants to get new users and doesn’t charge for it.

    The longer ISPs delay the adoption of IPv6, the longer they can milk IPv4 scarcity.
