AMD is making real inroads in the server market now.
AMD parts can do a lot of stuff that Intel can't, such an encrypted RAM and offering a huge number of PCIe lanes. And of course, they offer more threads at a better price.
The Model 3 is actually looking a bit expensive now.
Consider that the Hyundai Kona has the same range as the Model 3 LR but costs $25,000 less. It's even cheaper than the promised $35k short range M3.
It's actually an even bigger gap than that, because Hyundai do discounts and Tesla don't. Also Hyundai servicing and parts are cheaper. And it's not just Hyundai, Kia have one due in January that is similar and Nissan should have their new Leaf out by then too.
It would be odd if BYD couldn't at least match Hyundai. They already have a decent EV business in China, it's really just that they can't meet the demand there so are not making huge inroads into Europe yet. Having said that, European manufacturers who are late to the EV market are buying BYD parts now, not least because BYD has the patents on the tech.
That is what Intel Management Engine is for. It runs separately to the main CPU and OS, so in theory no matter how badly they have crashed it can reboot them and provide VNC style remote screen/keyboard. You can access the BIOS with it etc.
Of course it also makes the machine ridiculously insecure...
No, they have no intention of building cheap pieces of tin that no American would buy.
I see you have never ridden in an BYD electric car. They are pretty impressive. Good build quality, great range, affordable price. They are not cheap and feel solid. Good crash test results.
There are some in various European countries, mostly in use as taxis. Taxis have quite stringent requirements beyond just the normal European safety spec. They seem to do well enough in European crash tests.
Which is normally how security demos work, because hacking the real site would be illegal.
The point here is that those sites are vulnerable to literal script kiddie attacks. While the government tries to hand wave it away as just an attack on a site showing preliminary results and correctly points out that such a site would not be used to make the official determination of who won, that's missing the point.
These days such a hack would spawn a brand new QAnon-style conspiracy theory, pushed on social media by the same people did the hack. It would further erode trust in the electoral system, which leads to lower turnout next time. It makes the whole process look like some dictatorship doing a bad job of rigging the votes.
I think they might drop that model, or at least make it so unattractive that no-one buys it.
Hyundai and Kia beat them to the affordable long range EV with models under the $35k mark and similar range to the much more expensive Model 3 Long Range.
I don't think they will be able to do it with cameras and neural nets at all.
Maybe they will be able to get it to drive along a highway with that system. But they promised it would park itself too. They are going to have to teach that neural network to handle every different kind of car park, navigate around them looking for spaces. Different road surfaces, different lighting, different layout of spaces, and no map data or GPS for assistance.
The basic problem is that they are hoping they can teach the neural net to drive just based on what it can see, where as every successful self driving project has worked on the basis of building up a 3D model of the world around the car and navigating through it. Lidar is immensely helpful for doing that. In theory a camera might work, but getting a neural network to recognize geometry and spit it out in a format that can be combined into a 3D model is science fiction level strong AI.
The best part is that they activate the autopilot computer in your car even if you don't use autopilot or didn't even pay for it. It wastes your electricity, your energy to help train their neural nets.
Other manufacturers are not behind, they are just coming at it from a different direction.
Nissan has an advanced self diving programme, for example. It works very well, but they are waiting for the necessary sensors to become small and cheap enough for consumer use.
Tesla decided that they could do self diving with minimal sensors. They mostly rely on cameras, cameras that don't even have self cleaning capability or HDR and which get blinded by sunlight and tunnels. Their hope is that they can train a neural network to drive with just those. So they need to collect a huge amount of training data and do a massive account of testing and evolution.
And it's not working; they just announced a new hardware revision that has to be retrofitted to existing cars.
Just because other manufacturers aren't doing a public beta with their customer's cars doesn't mean they aren't keeping up with or exceeding Tesla.
It's an Elon Musk tweet. He promises all kinds of shit that never happens. 100% solar powered superchargers, self driving cars in 2017, built in dashcams... The list is quite extensive.
The "harm" done by requiring someone to not mis-gender a trans person, to pick up one of your examples, is so minute and trivial in comparison to the harm that the trans person is subjected to by being mis-gendered that the two are incomparable.
This is the basis of all civil societies. Yes, it's annoying that you can't watch a movie with the surround sound system cranked up at 1AM, but that is nothing compared to the harm that doing so would cause your neighbour.
The new Google Pixel phone will be out in a few months. That means that the current model, the Pixel 2, will be on sale soon. You will be able to get one for less than half price.
You will get a year of guaranteed OS updates and probably more. Many years of security updates. The bootloader is unlocked and it is supported by third party ROMs if that is your thing. They also have excellent cameras and other hardware.
About 20 years you could buy these little PCI cards that had some kind of BIOS ROM that prevented permanent changes being made to the hard drive. Writes were redirected to free space, and when the machine rebooted they were discarded.
They were popular with internet cafes. Hit the reset button and the machine went back to the default state, no matter how many viruses the previous user managed to get infected with.
That is all true, but is missing the point. It is not about "saving babies" but about a culture of people behaving irresponsibly and then flushing the consequences down the toilet.
Which is bizarre because by opposing better sex education and access to contraception they are opposing efforts to make people more responsible.
It's like trying to prevent car accidents by removing the airbags and not telling people about safe following distances, and then also banning the emergency services from attending accidents because that will surely make people take responsibility.
All we have is an unreliable source who is trying to paint a negative picture to support his lawsuit. When you actually look at the claims it appears, for example, that there are some furries at Google and maybe they like to get dressed up sometimes.
Unfortunately the lawsuit document isn't easy to search because much of the text is hidden in images, so I couldn't even find that bit.
But again, why can't you simply tolerate this? What harm is it doing to you?

How many cores do you need for facebook, yahoo mail and netflix? /s
Sssssssh! Don't tell them a Pentium 3 is adequate, I need cheap 32 core CPUs for my workstation!
Lieutenant Worf: You would have suffocated and died.
I don't think so. It would only take a few seconds of vacuum to put the fire out, and humans can survive longer than that without air.
If force fields existed I'd imagine it was actually a pretty effective way of saving people who are on fire.
"Brand new in box" (BNIB) is a pretty common description of goods that have had possible several previous owners, but which are unused and unopened.
Even in shops some of the stuff sold as "new" will be stock from other shops that went bankrupt or are just doing stock rotation.
Yes, you can run Android apps on Chrome OS. The latest version adds better window support for Android apps too.

Well Toyota make a "Tank", although I'm not sure if it is actually watertight :)

It's not news.
In other words a bad thing that they could normally have survived happened, but due to the tariffs on top they went bankrupt.

It seems pointless, it's trivial to hide aids out of view of the camera.
It does seem odd because there are lots of other VPN/proxy extensions available for Chrome, so there must be some reason why they removed this one.
He is too busy working on replacing the steering wheel with a touch bar.
That guy was pretty unlucky it seems, if his story is true. Usually they deliver the car with a load of defects, but you do get a car.
That is all true, but is missing the point. It is not about "saving babies" but about a culture of people behaving irresponsibly and then flushing the consequences down the toilet.

Obama seemed to be fixing it, with a more humane policy and amnesty for groups like the dreamers. He had it under control.
Don't mistake Trump blaming immigrants for all the problems as evidence of an immigration crisis.
