Thank you, exactly this.
I don't know what the OP actually did, but presumably this was not an interview question (since OP said they hired them), and part of actual assigned work. I would expect any even mildly-decent developer to be able to learn about IPs, netmasks and figure out how to do calculations with them in a couple of hours, even with no prior knowledge (I say this knowing much about it myself). One of the most important skills of a developer is to be able to learn. This is not just learning new languages, libraries, techniques and patterns, but also the new (to you) business domains, user needs, and "why" behind requirements/features/stories.
On the other hand, expecting any random dev to know this off the top of their head would be asinine. If they were fired for this, then the OP did them a favour because it's probably an awful place to work. And if all three were hired with the explicit expectation of being an expert in networking but don't know what a netmask is, well holy crap, the OP needed to learn how to better screen candidates at least two hires ago.
So.. your "Unlimited Everything" plan has a limit of 10GB tethered data, and 80GB/month transfer..?

Such as "all competing apps have been removed from the app store per Apple policy"?
The parent post said: "There is no way to prevent 3D printers and CNC mills from being manufactured."
A true but unhelpful statement. My point was to look at how printers, copiers, scanners, and even image editing software have been modified to deter counterfeiting:

It's not a stretch to imagine the same sort of restrictions being mandated for 3D printers and CNC machines.
Try copying a US $20 bill on any modern copier.

Oh how I wish I had mod points! +1
Yeah, this is actually a great idea. Make it all or nothing. You don't get to block NEGATIVE reviews, you either take them all, or take none.
Let the public decide of they want to do business when they see a message like "All reviews of this establishment have been removed due to a court order demanding removal of one or more specific reviews. Per Google's all-or-nothing policy, all reviews are suspended."
I generally stopped shopping at FS due to the commission-based sales vultures, but I did buy a stove and fridge there almost 3 years ago (needed new ones, and they had a good sale going on). Huge amount of pressure to get extended warranties, of course. I started asking about it, having had previous (negative) experience trying to actually use a warranty.
Basically, the extended warranty was 3 / 5 / 8 years depending on what you paid. If something breaks, you call them, they come out and repair or replace at their discretion. If something were to break say, 6 months after your purchase, and they came out and decided that replacing it was the most economical option, you get a new fridge. Great! Here's the catch: your Future Shop warranty is now terminated. That's right.. the remaining 7.5 years are null and void. I think you get the 1 year parts-only manufacturer warranty (which I'm convinced FS negotiates to be deliberately crappy to make their plan look better.
The economics of this are just too much in their favour: if there's a (minor) problem, it's actually in their interest to replace it (terminating the remainder of the warranty), then fix the old one and re-sell it (hopefully at least as refurbished model -- but I wouldn't be surprised to find these as "floor models" or "open-box").
