I ran the numbers years ago. Best case from geosync, 185db of path loss.

Why do people continue to want to do this? The physics are simple and the results suck.

185db of path loss from geosync. (at 1GHz) Good luck with that!

You can take my Diet Coke from my cold dead hands. I swapped over to diet about 15 years ago. I dropped 70 pounds and it never returned. No, I am keeping my artificial sweetener.

So many shortages for other types of chips.

Europe is not "forcing" Apple to do anything. Apple is not the victim of an Orwellian government shoving committee-formed standards and practices on a forign corporation. Soldiers aren't arriving at Apple manufacturing facilities with boxes of USB-C ports and shouting at workers in German to install these or else.

Europe is "requiring" every cell phone manufacturer to comply with a universal charging standard in order to sell phones in Europe. This is no different from Europe requiring Apple to comply with European radio transmission laws or to manufacture phones for ROHS compliance to prevent mercury from entering landfills.

Apple is not "forced" to do anything, they could shrug and withdraw from the European market. You're likely reading this and thinking, "why would they give up such a valuable market?" and you've come to the core of the issue. Apple profits from selling proprietary chargers and cables, and they continue to profit by changing those every couple years. Apple, almost single-handedly, created the need for this regulation.

This kind of ongoing inflammatory language is why Bloomberg isn't a respectable news agency.

I like this idea, but I like the idea of just ending the government program and writing off everyone's loans better. Getting people into debt is not "helping" them.

I have made that mistake, and most likely will again.

Sudo has always been very aggressive about addressing security issues and the developers take it very seriously - they have been doing this for several decades. Good thing since by the nature of the tool, it escalates privileges.

So while a bummer to see this exploit, that should not discourage anyone from using it and it is a de-facto tool in the sysadmin toolkit.

Ditto what Brian-Fu said in that I'm curious how the "su - works just fine" people log their commands, provide some granular control (by user and command), etc. etc.

And let me know how well that scales with you have hundreds/thousands of machines and dozens of Sysadmins ...

Political ads are about as exciting as watching grass grow

<SNARK>What in the Democratic Socialism is a YouTuber Union? Is that where someone gives you a free platform to express yourself and you get upset because they didn't hold you hand or something?</SNARK>

And the company wants to bank the credits for future years when emissions rules get tougher -- especially if a Democrat beats President Donald Trump in 2020

Perhaps the reason we have a regulation-busting president is *because* the people are tired of having the government meddling in the fuel efficiency of automobiles (and everything else). "Government is not the answer to our problems; government *is* the problem."

Just let the industry work it out for itself. Regulations only make the problems worse. If they keep insisting on government meddling, the citizens will respond by continuing to elect regulation-busting leaders.

Amazon is the new Microsoft. Too big, too destructive, an existential threat to everyone else, and ABSOLUTELY needs to be broken up, taken down, brought down about a million pegs by any means necessary.
