So basically the only answer to it is constant escalation of the violence, constant retaliation, neverending war? And then in addition to that, to do anything but blindly support everything the zionists there are doing is antisemitism?

I believe in the Constitution

So the atrocities that are committed by the militant Zionists in charge right now in Israel are justified because why exactly?

Spoken like a real ass.

I can’t stand idiots who burn our flag or talk crap about our military or attack our institutions

Sun Microsystem created Java with the intent of making it available for the public, but overseeing its development direction. (Just like Sparc processor architecture. Or what Google is doing with Android today). I worked at Sun, when Java was created. The fact Oracle tried to make it proprietary is in violation of the…

You made me think of something. In an urban environment with all autonomous vehicles, will peds just start crossing the road even more boldly and haphazardly /knowing/ that the vehicles will autonomatically stop?

That is cool, but old newsreel footage has taught me that people moved really fast and jerky in the old days.

I enjoyed Watchmen...the Director’s Cut. -prepares for the firing squad-

Nah, if electricity gets too pricey, people can just buy gas powered generators and recharge their cars that way. Problem solved!

If you couldn’t answer that question before this article, there’s literally no point in asking it here.

Sounds like someone doesn’t want the competition because it’s going to be another 25 years if that before all the hold ups and politics get straighten away for a passenger system that’ll be significantly slower than high speed trains in Europe, Japan or China.

I recently, as in 1.5 weeks ago, took an international high speed ICE train from Germany to the Netherlands. No TSA or similar, no security checks, zero visible security presence. No border checks either, no passport checks, nothing.

Nice catch: works either way. :-)

Part of the basic concept of the Hyperloop is that it’s not a hard vacuum like maglev concepts. It’s a mild vacuum, with a compressor at the front of the pod to provide the air cushion and deal with blockage and transonic effects. It was born out of trying to find a way around the difficulty of hard vacuum maglev…

This is supposed to take about 45 minute trips from what I’ve heard.

Why sites keep posting these videos. We get it. It’s unnerving and defies human instinct, but kids are dying trying to do this stuff just so it gets posted on sites like this. Didn’t some teenagers just plummet to their deaths a few weeks ago trying to climb the Freedom Tower in NYC, or something? Seems a little like…
