The Management Engine (ME) is an isolated and protected coprocessor, embedded as a non-optional part in all current Intel chipsets, I even checked with the engineering department and they confirmed it.

Long version:

ME: Management Engine

The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a separate computing environment physically located in the MCH chip or PCH chip replacing ICH.

The ME consists of an individual processor core, code and data caches, a timer, and a secure internal bus to which additional devices are connected, including a cryptography engine, internal ROM and RAM, memory controllers, and a direct memory access (DMA) engine to access the host operating system's memory as well as to reserve a region of protected external memory to supplement the ME's limited internal RAM. The ME also has network access with its own MAC address through the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Controller integrated in the southbridge (ICH or

That's too bad. This movie is still great.

Here you can see what high-powered rifles do to one-onch-thick steel.

Watch Jonathan Blow's presentation about application bloat on youtube. Well worth the time and quite funny. The guy makes some valid points.

>> Tesla Model 3 is the better performance and the over the air updates.

Yeah, OTA Updates, so cool. or is it ? Now that's an OTA update : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

While Chrysler/Jeep does a poor job of engineering its in-car computer systems (as shown by the film!) that has nothing to do with Tesla. Proper engineering makes ota updates safe from hackers (witness MacOS, Linux, and part of the time, Windows). Just be careful whose stuff you buy.

He said that he thinks they should only have to pay 12 a year, not that they already do.

Making fun of Trump is really easy, how did you fuck this up so badly?

Says the apparent new expert of fucking up badly.

"But in one eyebrow-raising moment, Trump told the Times that health insurance costs about $1 per month when you're young. "Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, ..."[1]

Actual Twitler word salad quote: "... Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance,[2]

And for good measure [3]

It's pretty clear that he thinks (to the extent he actually thinks about anything) that insurance does cost 20-somethings only $12 per year. Not that he thinks that's what they should pay. That that's what they're paying today.

Has been out for awhile and nobody is buying it. What's better about the Model 3?

Lol, okay, let's go down the list. Bolt vs. Model 3. Just the base models (Model 3 is much more upgradeable)

MSRP: $37500 vs $35000
0-60: 6,5s vs. 5,6s
Top speed: 90mph vs. 130mph
Handling: Read for yourself (start at "What's blanching...")
EPA range: 238mi vs. 220mi
Max charge speed: 90mph vs. 260mph
Fast charge network: Poor (single stall, poorly monitored, big holes) vs. excellent (4-8+ stalls, widespread distribution on almost all major interstates)
Dealership experience: Famously hard sell and uneducated about EVs, vs. almost humorously soft-sell, behaving instead like museum curators who just want to talk about their exhibit
Automatic crash avoidance: Optional extra vs. standard
Climate control: Single vs. dual zone
Track record for safety: less-than-stellar vs. outright-insulted-if-they-score-less-than-perfect-in-any-test. And this.
Standard warranty: 3yrs / 36k mi vs. 4yrs / 50k mi (both have the same battery warranty, 8 yrs / 100k mi)
Company dedication: Makes EVs as a side project to their main business vs. fully invested in EVs.
Efficiency: heavier & higher drag vs. lighter and lower drag
Styling: Come on, is there any contest? Even remotely? Bolt vs. Model 3. The interior difference is even worse, with the Bolt being your typical econobox interior (yet at a nearly $40k price point).
Depreciation of past models: Terrible vs. Low

I could keep going. I mean, there's just no contest. Unless you're seriously in a rush, or you think Musk is the devil, I can't imagine why anyone would pick the Bolt over the Model 3.

Really? (Alex Jones: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver)

Although based on the phrase "African American" it sound to me like you have strong us-vs-them "enemy" point of view that you have incorporated into your identity and are unable and unwilling to change.

I was never a fan of Jar Jar (Binks one too) but I didn't dawn on me it until all the hype regarding Cloverfield resulted in... warmed up Slusho with a side order of shit.
Which is when I've actually browsed back through things he was involved with, realizing that hype, geeking out, piling shit on top of more shit and inability to make both the story and/or plot work or even connect logically - is his modus operandi.
My guess is that he is really good at convincing people that he has passion about projects he's pitching.
That... and his fans tend to be of the "believer" kind... who don't catch on that the story is either not going anywhere or that it is going towards a pile of stupid cliches. Bad ones.

But it's not until he royally fucked up Star Trek that I've actively started calling him Jar Jar.
Cause he's to SciFi in general what Jar Jar Binks was to Star Wars.
An annoying, overexcited character out of sync with established tropes who manages to keep ruining the genre, directly or indirectly.
The fact that he launched (and keeps supporting) careers of incompetents like Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof makes him worse than Jar Jar.
He should be called Darth Jar Jar Abrams just to get it close to the level of idiocy he's responsible for, directly or indirectly.

Also... whether it's their common trait that brought them together or something one picked up from the other...
Both Jar Jar and Lindelof are passive aggressive assholes who blame audience for being too stupid to expect something other than their lack of vision.
Lindelof manages to passively bitch through entire Prometheus commentary while Jar Jar throws a "Star Wars is not a physics lesson" at anyone complaining about the Noo Death Star and the lack of any logic in how it works when it destroys planets, on his Noo Star Wars commentary.

Sure... it's not a physics lesson. But how about some half competent science fiction writing?
You want explosion of planets to be visible from the planet everyone is on? Put it in the same system. What's the issue with that? It also explains why Leia and the Republican rebels show up out of nowhere.

You want to make insta-kills with Noo Death Star, disregarding the time it would take beam to travel across space WHILE making it a threat to entire galaxy? Portals.
Have a portal-output ship hyperjump next to the planet you want to destroy, shoot the beam into portal-input (ship or portal somewhere on or under the Noo Death Star planet) - and you got the whole galaxy at the barrel of a gun. Which can be concealed anywhere in the galaxy.

There. It's that simple. It doesn't have to be a physics lesson. You can even still use that shot of everything getting dark as the sun is sucked up. Though it is stupid. But hey... heavy handed symbolism sure is cheap.

The UAW is terrified Tesla will become the first successful, large-scale automaker without a union. The UAW has wailed for over a century that this is impossible without unions. Tesla's non-union success is an enormous threat to their business model and ideology. Meanwhile, outside of a vocal UAW-supported minority of agitators, nobody at Tesla wants a union.

It isn't about the automaker being successful, lots of them have done that. It's about the workers. Now you might say that they've gotten good treatment. Or you might argue that they haven't. Hard to say from the outside but it is clear where you stand on the issue. Strongly on the side of screaming tirades about unions.

People are lined up to work at Tesla. Tesla can't make cars fast enough to satisfy demand. Remind me again how Ford, GM, etc. are doing in comparison? Oh, that's right...they've been in doldrums for decades, needed taxpayer-funded bailouts to avoid going belly-up, have huge inventories of unsold cars, higher injury rates, lower customer satisfaction, etc. etc. etc.

Tesla reports a record 25,000 vehicles delivered last quarter. GM makes more than that in some models of a single color. And not even the top models. GM has vast numbers of factories, Tesla has very little, and benefits heavily from a lot of the work GM, Ford, and other companies do. The "bailout" you decry was not a result of GM, Chrysler, or Ford being inherently unprofitable or otherwise failing. That was the financial market shutting down, not making loans to people, and thus keeping sales flat, and not letting two reasonably robust corporations keep on going. Why did the financial market shut down? Take a look at Bear Stearns, Bernie Madoff, Countrywide, Wells Fargo, Lehman Brothers, AIG, for your ire.

At some point people need to pull their heads out of the sand and realize that unions no longer serve the purposes they were created to serve. They are not about productivity, efficiency, or even basic logic. Unions exist to promote, extend, and defend themselves, not their members. Those few who crow the loudest about the benefits of unions are typically the types of workers who are only interested in getting paid the most while doing the least work they possibly can, all while using any and all rules and regulations to whine, moan, complain, and agitate.

Who the fuck isn't interesting in getting paid the most for the least work they possibly can? Even noted Capitalist Extraordinaire Scrooge McDuck supports that idea. Face it, you state a truism, then make them out to be evil because of it. You just want to stick your head in the sand and declare that unions are the enemy, not paying the slightest attention to the fraud and scams going on at the top of the heap, where the rot starts, you don't care about the people who crow the most about the evils of unions, who are typically the types of leaders who are only interested in what they can gain for their own benefit, all while using any and all scams and cheats to defraud, steal, abuse, and deceive.

Whether people like it or not, it definitely is political commentary.

It is in fact the only valid type of study accepted by the FDA for any medicine other than vaccines. Why do you think that they have such a lower bar for safety and efficacy testing for vaccines than other medicines?

Polio was the most misdiagnosed disease in history. There were several factors contributing to the prevalence of its diagnosis at that time. The primary two factors were DDT and the vaccine itself. It was not understood for several years afterward, but DDT toxicity causes guillain barre syndrome, which has symptom identical to paralytic polio. It was also being used everywhere, even put on food and sprayed directly on children. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
The polio vaccine itself also caused guillain barre syndrome as well as spreading actual polio infection. Polio was "eradicated" by defining it almost completely out of existence. For instance, if a child who had gotten the polio vaccine showed signs of polio it was defined as non-polio paralysis. The criteria for diagnosing paralytic polio was changed from around a day of weakness or paralysis of a limb to a minimum of a week of weakness or paralysis.

As far as measles goes it was almost entirely eradicated before the vaccine was ever invented for it. Also in the decades leading up to the introduction of the vaccine less than 0.01% of cases resulted in death, less than the CDC claims the death rate is for flu. It was considered a trivial disease and parents would host measles parties so they could get it over with while their children were young. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Now, can you show me a double-blind placebo test for the efficacy or safety of a vaccine?

My answer to the "Good People Have Nothing To Hide" argument is simple. We need to hide from Government Do-Gooders who are too fucking busybodying into everyone's business looking for ANYTHING they can entrap the rest of us with. With all the rules, regulations, laws and bullshit the Government puts on its subjects, there is ALWAYS something to use against us.
