Today's Story Highlights
2010 - 2019: Product of the Decade
As we get to the end of December, I typically pick my product of the year, but this is also the end of the decade, so I'll go back and look
at the prior products of the year, name my pick for this year, and then
pick my product of the decade. 2010 was an easy choice as the iPad came
out and scared the hell out of the entire PC market. Its release made
the whole "PC is Dead" thing real.

Using Technology to Fix the Flawed Impeachment Process
When the U.S. president was impeached last week, it surfaced the fact that impeachment, and particularly the removal of a U.S. president, is a
process that doesn't work. Throughout U.S. history, there have been 45
presidents, and given that no one trains for that job, you'd figure
several would have been removed for cause. However, impeachment has been
attempted three times without a removal.

Is Your Health Data at Risk?
We've recently seen much breathless news coverage of the Nightingale Project, Google's half-secret partnership with Ascension, the second-
largest healthcare system in the U.S. The details of the project --
which involves sharing the healthcare data of tens of millions of
unsuspecting patients -- have raised significant concerns. The concerns
have centered around issues that by now are familiar.

Remix Could Bring Some Cinnamon Lovers Back to Ubuntu
Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix arrived just in time for the holidays. Its first stable version is based on Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine. It utilizes Linux
Mint's Cinnamon desktop environment on top of Ubuntu Linux's codebase.
Work on several release candidate and beta versions stretches back to
2013. The efforts stayed under the radar until the announcement of the
new distro's debut stable release.

32-Minute Cleveland-Chicago Hyperloop Run Is Feasible, Study Says
The 300-plus mile trip between Cleveland and Chicago could take as little as 32 minutes by Hyperloop, according to a new feasibility study.
Hyperloop is the only form of high-speed transportation that is
profitable and makes economic sense in the U.S., found the study, a
joint effort of TEMS, the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency,
and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies.
