For someone who doesn't have a home address, you have to commit perjury and find a co-conspirator to your crime (now a felony) to be able to get the ID. So a homeless person must commit a felony to get an ID. Plus the cost.
Where you vote - and which issues you can vote on - are determined by where you live. If you don't have a reasonably fixed address, then no - you can't vote.

Anti-aircraft missiles can be readily fooled by the target, and will often miss. In contrast, anti-air missiles will hit their target 100% of the time.
Wow, great article! And yes, it was atypical. In comparison take a look at the final, record setting flight of one of the SR-71 Blackbirds. The flight chart shows the looping at each end, and they claim a couple of intermediate records of city pairs that they strictly overflew.
I especially remember this flight because I was living in the San Fernando valley when the flight took place, and heard the sonic boom as it went by.
What are you basing that pronouncement on? What other way would they record the time from New York to London?
Aviation records are typically set by overflying the start and end cities. That is, the plane takes off, then circles around such that it can cross over the starting point at full speed. Similarly, it crosses over the end point and then circles back to land. The speed record is based on the cross over points.
Textbook case of disproving a minor point. Whether it's the speed of sound in the air around the tube, or the speed of sound from a table doesn't really change the argument.
It may seem to be a minor point, but you were the one to bring it up! The top speed of around 760 mph is quite obviously chosen so that it remains subsonic (or did you think it wouldn't pull 765?).
My point is that this thing's going significantly faster then anything we let your grandma ride in today,
And my point is that it is very close to typical jet speeds - which my grandma, were she alive today, would be quite comfortable with. It isn't speed you feel, it is acceleration. Its only practical speed limit is the speed of sound, which also limits your airliner speed. And speaking of acceleration . ..
that it's also supposed to make turns in the same radius as a car,
No, not even close. The route mostly follows the I-5, but deviates to keep the turning radii large enough to limit inertial acceleration forces to 0.5g - which is described as the most that a person can comfortably sustain for short periods.
all three dimensions (20-100 ft elevation means that you're going up and down relative to the roadbed, which itself goes up and down), etc.
The pylons are sized so as to keep the tube as level as possible. It is the road (and ground) that go up and down, not so much the tube.
It's designed to have a lateral g-force of 0.5 Gs, which is comparable to roller-coasters.
That is simply off by an order of magnitude. Here are some of the high force coasters; here's some milder Disney rides. Airliners tend to be a bit lower than 0.5 but not by much - and can readily exceed that number if need be.
It's top speed may be pushing Mach 1, but the elevation is not an issue. Fighter planes see higher (not lower) Mach numbers with increasing altitude because the speed of sound decreases with altitude (and I think that that is what you meant). However, it is the lower temperature at higher altitudes that is the cause - not the reduced pressure. The temperature in the Hyperloop tube s/b the same (or slightly) higher than its surroundings.
They're both round, and they both have capsules - ut the similarity ends in how they move relative to whatever air is in the tube. The pneumatic tube uses vacuum or pressure as a propulsive force, and the capsule moves a roughly the same speed as the air. The Hyperloop is designed to used other means for thrust, and the capsule moves through, not along with, the air in the tube. As a result, pneumatic tubes have essentially no control over individual capsules, the Hyperloop system does.
Your bank's system is a pneumatic tube, which uses air pressure to transport the pod. Other systems require very high vacuum levels in order to sufficiently reduce air friction. Musk is the first design designed to operate in a relatively low pressure tube; evacuating (and using) only the air directly in front of the capsule - that is a difference.
Aviation speed records are typically overflown, and are measured point to point. The Blackbird circled far enough over the Pacific to allow it to cross back over LA at cruising speed; it also overflew DC and then slowed and circled back.
(BTW, any practically any pilot can set a record - just find a point to point run that hasn't been declared yet.)
What is your state? In mine (California) there is an old wive's tale to the effect that a driver has to wait till the pedestrian gets all the way across the street, and must similarly stop (and wait) for a pedestrian who steps off the far curb, even if they won't be crossing the driver's lane for several seconds. In fact, the driver must yield the right of way to the pedestrian, but is free to pass in front of (or behind) the pedestrian if it is safe to do so.
Yes, double entry bookkeeping is simple. But did you know that there is a difference between bookkeeping and accounting? Hint: Look at the pay scales for bookkeepers vs. accountants.

No, wait - this one goes in your mouth.
It applies to all. Trump can use his hotel room; an indigent can use a homeless shelter.

And should the bank or the train system be running a Home version of the software in the first place?
Do you plan to run the Home edition?
The Hellcat edges the Tesla in horsepower. Torque, of course, is a different factor.
As the the charge decreases, you'll loose a bit of the acceleration.
No, letting the acceleration loose requires more power, not less. (Sorry, you lose.)

. . . a better than "retina" 2880X1620 resolution display,
Care to explain how 2880x1620 is better than 2880x1800?
I could be wrong, but I read that as a comparison of the ThinkPad's display to the "retina" standard, not to your particular MBP's display.

Not from wheels up to touchdown, it won't.

And they aren't doing it at Mach I.
Maybe not Mach 1.00, but Mach 0.80 to Mach 0.85 (airliner cruising speeds) aren't that far off.
Not every correction descends into mudslinging, you insensitive clod!

You're free to bitch about metric vs. merkin, but how can you find a more human-style unit than the foot?
In California, there is - see 21950 (b).
