Hey, I hang out with a lot of creative people. Not Elon Musk, but Steve Jobs for more than a decade, and lots of people at least as smart that you don't know. They can be really brilliant, and successful, and they can still make really stupid mistakes and sell them to the rest of us pretty well because they believe in themselves completely and they have a track record. I've done that too.
That's the hyperloop. Something Elon never meant to stand behind (and still really isn't), just put out there to torpedo a worthy project that he didn't believe in.
Anyone who looks at the hyperloop design can see it's not a no-brainer. It has safety issues up the wazoo
Meanwhile, little Switzerland can have incredible trains everywhere and the United States can't get it together, and unlike with rockets and cars Elon's not helping this time. And I am not sure that the "lease" part of his solar business is a great thing for the world either.
Although the hyperloop is possible and might even be practical someday, let's please be honest about the reason it was created. Elon Musk just wanted to kill the California high-speed rail.
That might have been OK if there was a hope that we could actually replace it practically with a hyperloop. But given the history of bleeding-edge rail - ride any maglevs lately? We haven't even had much success with monorails outside of theme parks and Las Vegas - we don't really have any working system to replace high-speed rail. Hyperloop should really be called "Pipes that carry People" and we need decades of work on it before considering intercity lines.

Ehh... this is oft-repeated, but Nvidia has made some pretty shitty drivers in the past, too. I haven't had many problems with mine, and I'm running two 280X's in CrossFire and 3 monitors. One of the more complex setups they offer.
I'm guessing you'd have preferred Romney? Or McCain? Because... more spending on wars? More cuts to taxes that you won't actually see?
The funny thing is, Hillary is the same age as McCaine was when the Democrats were talking about how old he was and we were a heartbeat away from Palin.
I personally would have preferred Palin than Obama, at least she is patriotic. She is also pretty smart, which makes all the smear campaigns of the press pretty funny. But if you prefer a liberal, she obviously isn't the one for you.
See, you can't tip you trolling hand by calling Palin smart...
Privacy wouldn't matter if the country's economy implodes, which is what would have happened under Ron Paul. I'm no huge fan of Obama, but I'm also not dumb enough to think Ron/Rand Paul is the answer to anything but "Which candidate knows nothing about actual economics?"
Yeah, that old doctoring numbers bit... you know, my speedometer doctors numbers, too. It doesn't tell me how fast the axle is turning, it tells me something in miles per hour. They're changing the numbers! Adjusting it for things such as wheel size! It's obviously fake. Just like climate science.
The Red Shift is explainable by Last Thursdayism. Duh.
That's not even the argument. The argument is "God did it, shut up or I'll kill you."
Obama is bad, true.
But every single candidate from the Republican and Libertarian parties are worse. Which is scares the shit out of me.
