For the record, a lot of us are sick of the presumtion that because we find the operation Tesla is operating to be a scam, that it means we're speculating in the market.
Sure, some of you are dumb enough to invest in Tesla in some sort of hopeful virtue-signaling gesture. Some are even dumber to be 'shorting' Tesla.
The rest of us, the majority, just think the whole venture is a little pathetic.
I hope the free oatmeal is the plain 'old fashioned' kind. Because that takes three minutes in the microwave, essentially just as quick as any packaged 'instant' oatmeal, and is a much better choice nutrition and price-wise. It's something I am a little fanatical about, I admit. The best brand I have found, low chaff and low price, is WalMart generic.
In modern usage, x86 means something pretty different from an 8086 processor. The 8086 was basically an expanded version of an old 8 bit processor. Lots more memory space, segmented addressing, etc. But no protected mode.
I refuse to do any banking over the Internet. If I need to know a balance I go to an ATM or a real human teller. I get printed statements every month in the mail.
Anybody can refuse web banking. It's not difficult.
I have often thought that instead of 'throw away and replace,' software should continuously improve. The software that was 'good enough' to run on old Pentium 3 systems back when that was the 'leading edge' hardware should be better, and run even more efficiently today. Because there has been the time to improve it. To improve the libraries it links to. Ultimately for every part of it to be replaced by hand coded assembly language. Think of Wordstar, written in assembly language, that runs usably well on an 8080 processor.
Perhaps the answer for a secure future is to look back in this way. The really important secure things don't necessarily need to run on the latest branch-predictive hardware with all it's vulnerabilities, with the embedded security engines that can't be disabled or even scrutinised, the shared memory messes in unchangable hardware that topics like this explores; all the crap that's been added in the last decade (coincidentally in the era of intrusive DRM and the rise of immense NSA budgets?). Maybe the secure future is something like continually improved, thouroghly audited and pawed through legacy code like OpenBSD. A code base where flaming egos and lastest-greatest-frenzy (looking at you as a good example, now, systemd), and hot dogs who champion the rip-out-and-replace development culture are not allowed.
Maybe something plain and thoroughly explored and highly optimized, and running on last decade's hardware, is the secure answer.

If you are in Paris, what are you doing drinking Buckstar coffee??
Gmail is easy to get rid of. Go to a commercial email provider. A year of Fastmail is less than the cost for one person for a good meal out.
Granted, a good free email provider isn't that easy to find. There must be some reason for that. Hmmm.
They will start charging you after the bankruptcy

You live on the coast and don't know jack shit about the rest of the country. Which is fine , because we want you to stay there.
Some would say they reached that market cap by not pandering to a delivery staff.
Hay, with Prime, it's prime entertainment watching deliverdude haul them across the yard.
Eventually you have enough to build a brick barbeque, or here in flyover, a backyard trash burner (better than a burn barrel).

Drinkypoo is an old established slashdot regular. Unlike the new crop of snitty anonymous cowards that you are a part of.
Why don't you anonymous bullies fuck off, like nice little turds.
Data mining isn'r really 'tech'.
It's salescrittership that makes use of tech.

The red wave in November is going to flush driftwood like you out to sea. Better take some swimming lessons this summer!
No choice but to win?

With lots of money you can buy almost anything, except wisdom. Ask Larry's buddy Steve J. about that...

Minix won't run on a Z80. It will run on an 8088 though.
Tanenbaum, were you right?
My SparcStation IPC is safe. Uses regular old 30 pin DIMM memory, even.
The vintage 2014 obama child's blood wine is some of the best evah!

Same thing for Seamonkey on x64 Windows.
No, the Tab Window Manager is the desktop.
I dug into pkgsrc on my NetBSD system and yes, OpenJDK is something I can build. I launched a build of it just a minute ago. So I stand corrected.
'brick and mortar' is such OLD and TIRED jargon. Could you please teleport back to 2003 and stay there?
