I actually think your first sentence is a spot on definition for 'bricked'. However, this specific scenario does not meet the criteria you've defined. Nobody is throwing out their car because it was only temporarily disabled. Another OTA update fixed it minutes later.
That doesn't really work because no individual I know picks up phone calls from random numbers anymore. One will be lucky if they even check their voicemail. Perhaps an attorney's office will, but that's it.
Does anything like this exist for Mac OS without npm as a requirement? With all the recent package compromises, I'm hesitant to use anything that requires NPM.
Hey friend, I just lost someone close to me from Parkinson's coincidentally the same exact day as the woman in the story and just a few miles from her. If you have any servers you want to keep running for a while or any EOL tech logistics your family won't understand I'd be happy to help. I can post your memoriam page wherever it belongs. My email is in my profile.
Thank you for that incredibly kind offer. I've spent the last year or so automating everything I can. I've made peace with letting go. You spend your entire life accumulating "stuff" to only realize none of it matters.
It's not about what the average human can do - it's about what humans as a category are capable of. There will always be outliers (in both directions), but you can, in general, teach a human a variety of tasks, such as performing arithmetic deterministically, that you cannot teach to, for example, a parrot.
Google is first and foremost an advertising company. They're going to do whatever makes them the most profit. It always had razor wire fences unfortunately.
I'd argue that they are not merely an advertising company, they are an "attention facilitating company", taking and curating attention of large groups of users and making it systematically available to other parties, acting as middleman.
You know, like Apple...
> [A] is first and foremost a [B] company. They're going to do whatever makes them the most profit.
This is the definition of any commercial business.
I have to disagree... while most "corporations" are chartered in such a way that shareholder value is maximized, you can put other provisions and leadership goals into a corporate charter, and privately owned businesses can have much more leeway in terms of structure and goals.
Many NPOs are corporations/companies legally, but their founding structure isn't to maximize shareholder profits/value. Beyond this, most businesses have two operating models, one is for maximum stock price, which increases the value, but that remains static without trade and/or to provide dividends from profits, which tends to keep stock values more level. With the latter, a business might not be chasing a 20% growth every year, but a healthy margin and predictable dividends to shareholders.
IANAL, this is not legal advice... but if you start a company, and want to emphasize values beyond pure growth/value, then what I would do is definitely talk to a good corporate attorney and tune the founding charter documents to that effect.
Nobody is questioning what themes are available on gnome. Including a screenshot of the software running in a window that very much looks like macOS X is simply misleading.
I agree. I was trying to use Vanta’s trust management platform to prepare for an audit but instead downloaded Vanta, the toy version of Wireshark. It's very easy to mix up 400 lines of go code on github with the security platform on vanta.com.
