So I'm reading about how Alphabet's (Google) profits from advertising are growing. However every once in a while a post is trending on HN about how bad income is from AdSense. So I wonder: Who are the big winners in this besides Google. Are there any sites who generate enough income from Google to support tech/journalist/etc. teams?

As the Intel Management Engine has the potential to actually compromise any given system, how do large SV companies handle the risk? I think Google and co. wouldn't want to be backdoored by Intel.
