The problem with Hyperloop isn’t even technology; it’s all the assumptions and hand-waving in the proposal.

Nobody says you have to blanket the entire country with HSR though. The Northeast Corridor (where Acela—aka the only part of Amtrak that people like—runs) would be perfect for HSR.

Before he mentioned the fact that his student Lily was older than him (i.e, most likely not a high school student—even if she were 18, there are laws in many states about faculty-high school student relationships), I thought the choice was pretty easy.

I was not aware that evolution (which is not to be confused with artificial selection, which in turn is not to be confused with genetically modified organism when used in the scientific sense) involved human intent and micropipettes and/or gene guns.

That’s nature doing GMO.

A little detail nobody will care about: manufacturing companies like the real-life Foxconn make their money not through high margins but rather high volume. Companies with clout go so far as to dictate in contracts how much profit is “acceptable.”

You are acting like for most there is much of a difference between 16-21 for many.

This may be a stupid idea, but why does that mean folks have to be a dick about it? I wonder how many people commenting “Someone’s going to shoot them down” are thinking “I’d shoot one down if I could get away with it.”

Wait... you mean there are people who don’t zoom with their mice or trackpads?

Because farmers, homesteaders, hunters, ranchers, and other private citizens never murdered Native Americans and stole their land. Yep, just blame it all on the government!

If I were coaching the team of kids, my game plan would be to get you busy protecting your weak points with one group, and then have a second group to knock you down while you’re distracted. Then I get two or three kids holding down each extremity. Finally, I start getting the kids to pile on top. At a certain point,

A German film crew can't go to China to make a documentary because...?
