Today's Story Highlights

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.

Providers Game System to Boost Broadband Speeds
A 10-year-old FCC program to ensure that ISPs deliver on their
connection speed promises to consumers, has become unreliable. Companies
including AT&T, Cox, Comcast and Verizon reportedly have been employing
tactics to make their performance numbers look better than they actually
are. "The FCC is friendly to operators currently," observed Parks
Associates' Brett L. Sappington.

Data-Munching Bug Throws Chrome 79 Android Rollout Into Chaos
Google has stalled the rollout of its Chrome 79 Web browser for Android
devices until it can find a way to neutralize a data-destroying bug.
Affected users have been vilifying Google and app developers for failing
to head off the problem. The latest Chrome version contains two highly
anticipated new features: phishing protection, and the ability to
reorder bookmarks.

The Human Problems Underlying Intel's Diversity Report
When Intel released its diversity report last week, it got pounded for
the lack of diversity in its executive staff. Intel is one of the few
companies being transparent about diversity. Given that lack of
diversity is the problem we want to solve, the bashing is stupid. It is
only going to make it harder to address the problem. In effect, Intel
did the right thing and was punished for it.

China's Tech Ban Could Have Grave Long-Term Consequences
China has issued an order that all foreign-made computer equipment and
software be removed from government offices and public institutions
within the next three years. China has estimated that upwards of 30
million pieces of hardware will need to be replaced. This is just the
latest salvo in the ongoing trade war between the United States and
China, the world's two largest national economies.

Plenty of Linux Power Is Built Into Linux Lite 4.6
Serving two masters, in theory, is nearly impossible. In practice, the
Linux Lite distribution easily satisfies Linux newcomers and veteran
penguin fans as well. This distro is very beginner-friendly -- in large
part due to a fine-tuned Xfce desktop interface that gives former
Windows and macOS users a familiar base. I have always considered the
distro's name -- "Linux Lite" -- to be a misnomer.
