  • It feels like a potential security nightmare. If your desktop at work is compromised and you have your domain admin come over and take a look; they might decide not to elevate the whole session, exercising appropriate caution and protocol in doing so, but just wing it with a quick sudo !! because the previous command didn’t go through.

    I don’t quite remember if this works properly, but I think !! should expand to sudo “previous command” at least in bash.








  • I was quite surprised when I first learned it, there are insurance companies which specialize in selling insurance to insurance companies in case the insurances they sold have to be paid. See Reinsurance on Wikipedia for example.

    Obviously Reinsurance companies might reinsure their claims to other Reinsurance companies until nobody knows who is actually paying.

    Similar to packing rotting investments with other investments and selling them to retirement founds, because hey look, there are good investments in it.
