Tax-exemption opens up a whole other promising venue. Hibachi and a chartered accountant at the next movie night.
This could work.
Now you're thinking!
Raw popcorn kernels are not digestible 'food.' Oil is not food. Salt is not food.
Combine. Add heat. Et Voila! Someone complain, bring in bags of powdered chemicals, beakers, reagents, and bunsen burners, and go to work.
It's all in the technical margins.
What's the policy on bringing raw materials and making it in the theater? It's not technically outside food and is prepared on the premises.
Thinking a hibachi stove or an electric blender.
It's not just cars. Anything with electronics (appliances, smarthome devices, healthcare, transportation) that is designed to last more than three years will hit a wall.
The host devices are designed to last 10-15 years, but the electronics will be out-of-date in 3-5 years.
The processor manufacturer will have moved on to new tech and will stop making spare parts. The firmware will only get updated if something really bad happens. Most likely, it'll get abandoned. And some time soon, the software toolchain and libraries will not be available anymore. Let's not think of the devs who will have moved on. Anyone want to make a career fixing up 10-yo software stack? Where's the profit in that for the manufacturer?
So as an end-user, you're stuck with devices that can not be updated and there's still at least 10-20 years of life left on them. Best of luck.
Solution: go analog. Pay extra if you have to. They'll last longer and the ROI and privacy can't be beat.
It's common sense that "Boneless Chicken Wings" are not:
- Boneless
- Wings, or
- Chicken
Any consumer who believes a business for saying so is responsible for their own failure to understand the meaning of those words.
Now, let us take a look at "Pesticide-Free Vegetables."
The repository included the private portion of the platform key in encrypted form. The encrypted file, however, was protected by a four-character password, a decision that made it trivial for Binarly, and anyone else with even a passing curiosity, to crack the passcode and retrieve the corresponding plain text.
It's like installing a top-of-the-line alarm system for your house with camera, motion detector, alarm, and immobilizing gas, then leaving the unlock password on a PostIt under the welcome mat.
No shit. People have known about the perils of feeding simulator output back in as input for eons. The variance drops off so you end up with zero new insights and a gradual worsening due to entropy.
Every time there is a power shortage, they tell residential customers they are being wastrels and should turn their lights off...
Same for water.
Every car show, they put out 'concept cars' that will never see the light of day.
'New batteries' are giving off the same vibe.
