xeon is a line of CPU's from Intel Xenon is used as a propellant because (according to NASA) it's a heavy element that is easily ionized, it's easily stored and is inert. If you can't easily turn your propellant into a plasma, it's pretty useless for an ion engine as it's not going to react with a magnetic field. If it's too light, it doesn't produce much thrust.
I would have typed fuel if I meant fuel. Instead I typed "fuel". It's the thing the engine uses to produce thrust. You need to store it on your space craft and it gets expended out the back to move it forward. It's similar in concept to fuel, hence "fuel"
Regardless of how much you think I don't know about the subject, it doesn't change the facts. Ion engines may have a place, with their high specific impulse velocity to accelerate a space craft that is already in space. In theory they can get you to a higher speed than rocket engines. It's just going to take years to do it and a whole bunch of xenon.
ion engines still require "fuel". You need a big tank of something that's going to be ejected out the back of your space craft Most of them use xenon gas as the propulsion medium. All the electricity does it accelerate the gas to produce thrust.

Number of cells doesn't determine peak power output. It's the number of cells multiplied by the power output of each cell. Larger cells typically have a higher output power, as one of the determining factors is the surface area of the electrodes inside the cell. It's a balance between power density (watts a cell can deliver) and energy density (watt-hours a cell can store).
2170 cells are allowing them to increase the energy density of the pack as a whole, which in theory allows them to increase the power density of the cells - same size/weight battery pack, more power. Weight especially, as with the larger cells there is a higher ratio of active components to metal casing.
Do 99% of the users not want their CPU to boot? The management engine does more than just remote management. It manages the entire system. from first boot process to power management.
Who said they didn't provide compensation to the university in exchange for an NDA? The university that owns the copyright on minix has several Intel based supercomputers.
Correction, the author has made it sort of clear he has not explicitly given Intel a license. He did say they talked about licensing. What is clear though, is the author in question has no right to give out any license. The copyright holder is the university he works at, not him. There has been no statement from the university.
If I go and buy an EOMA68 PC, I get freedom from the Intel ME. In return I get to run what ever code Allwinner embeds into it's SoC, perhaps on behalf of the Chinese Government [1]. With the blazing speed of a dual-core Cortex A7 CPU! Quite similar in performance to the first Pentium 3's
WTF are you talking about, Tenenbaum isn't the copyright holder. The licence clearly states the owner is Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The author doesn't own the copyright, so he wouldn't be the one to grant any additional licenses.
You can find that would by looking at the copyright notice in the LICENCE file

No. Andrew Tanenbaum isn't the copyright owner. The university is. What we've got is Andrew Tanenbaum stating Intel talked to him about licensing. What probably happened after that was Intel had their lawyers talk to the legal department from the university and got permission to use the software without the requirement of disclosure. They probably also asked the university not to go blabbing about it to anyone.
Do you have a copy of the ME binary distribution? Are you sure that notice is not in documentation motherboard vendors get when they add it to their BIOS?
Unless you bought an Intel motherboard from Intel, there's nothing Intel should be telling you directly.
The ME code is distributed by your motherboard vendor.
Also, Dr Tanenbaum wouldn't get rich, the university would, as they own the copyright, not him. He wasn't aware of the use of Minix in a particular Intel product, but they did discuss the licence. Intel knew all about the licence. Don't be surprised if they got permission and an NDA from the university in exchange for a donation.
No difference? If the raw materials are being mined in China, it;s not really going to make much difference if they're manufactured in Japan or USA, at the end of the day there is still a ship going across the Pacific Ocean. It could even have less impact, if the end product is lighter and/or smaller than the raw materials.
Journalists use language like that when they don't have any facts to back it up. The facts are Tesla no longer use the same sized batteries as other products, like laptops do, in their new models.
I don't see how draining stockpiles of 18650 cells would help them manufacture their cars that require 2170 cells. A more likely story is that Panasonic has halted production of 18650 cells to manufacture 2170 cells instead, while keeping enough capacity to honor existing customer contracts.
But this is the normal tire recycling process. Instead of selling the syngas produced, they're burning it onsite in a turbine to produce electricity to run bitcoin miners.
They're just making the recycling of tires more profitable.

They're great, until your tank of xenon runs out and there is nothing left to produce thrust.

There is no documentation provided for the ME.

They're embedded in the BIOS. The ME runs on a processor in the chipset, not the CPU itself.

Neither Intel or VU would be under any obligation to answer your questions.
It's possible Intel asked VU to not disclose any agreements they have.
They always maintained a record of your purchases.
Infact every company you buy something from does, for at least 7 years. It's a legal requirement in a lot of countries.
