Get rid of it.
sudo echo "127.0.0.1 tcr.tynt.com" >> /etc/hosts

shell redirection does not work with sudo (at least with bash). You will get a permission denied with this command

I've seen this in a few places, actually - it's good to know whose bandwidth I'm wasting every time I highlight some text for readability reasons.
