Today's Story Highlights

CES 2020: Prepare to Be Amazed
Every year I look forward to CES being over. That's not because it isn't
interesting -- it is. It's because the place is a nightmare to get
around, thanks to some incredibly stupid decisions that turn Las Vegas
into a gridlocked mess. Coming right after the holidays, it destroys
more family vacations than any other event short of a long driving trip
with very young children.

Don't Expect Too Much From Electric Trucks
With the rise of electric cars, it was only a matter of time before
electric trucks hit the market. Several electric vehicle startups --
including Bollinger, Lordstown Motors, Rivian and Workhorse -- have been
working on developing electric pickup trucks for several years, but none
have come to market yet. However, it was Tesla's announcement of the
Cybertruck that ignited interest in the market.

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.
