A ground-level, rail-mounted tube doesn't expend energy holding itself against gravity, and faces less wind resistance than an airplane in orbit. That means operating the hyperloop would require less total energy expenditure than operating an air plane.
But, a massive expenditure of energy to build this thing and connect it to where you want to go.. which means you spend a LOT of money building it.
Massive expenditure of energy to build this thing? What does that remind me of? Something called the New Deal, I think. Where a country built these expensive bits of infrastructure called roads, when how all anyone needed were horse carriages.
But I also think it was a symbol of rejection of a kind of evil that the world has seen rarely.
The world sees this kind of evil every day, even today. There are genocides happening all over the world. Most aren't reported. Some are, and are overlooked for geo-political reasons. One reason is that the people being killed aren't rich and privileged. The world really doesn't care too much about non-whites being killed.
Hitler is unique because he happened in a modern, industrialized economy - one that allowed technology to be used to kill very large numbers of people efficiently, and used media to document the genocide.
You think idiots like Donald Trump won't do the same thing, given enough power?
Australia banned automatic rifles after several mass shootings and since then, they have had none.
TSA banned liquids and gels in more than small quantities, and since then, there have been no incidents of liquid-based explosions on US aircraft.
Modded "Funny"? This is why more and more children will get murdered in their schools in the USA.
Australia banned weapons that make it easy to kill lots of people in a very short while after they had been used to do so.
The TSA (again, using the same rigourous logic as the parent) bans liquids that have never ever been used, as far as anyone is able to tell, in a terror attack.
If you're a certain type of American, you may not see the difference in the two situations. Other Americans, and the rest of the world, can only watch in horror as children get murdered.
Oh, I say, don't mix up your countries, old boy. We chinless agents are proud to serve in Her Majesty's Secret Service. The agents of the country you're thinking of have other distinctive facial features.
Once had the misfortune to sit shotgun with a STONED driver !! He drove up highway exit ramps TWICE in 10 minutes !! He otherwise seemed capable, unlike a drunk who would drive up an exit ramp !! Either drug is deadly in its results !! Lucky for him I don't drink, don't smoke !! What do I do ??
I live in India, and I can (and have) bought Nexus devices and Android software off Google Play. So their block is not implemented consistently.
Also, this has nothing to do with protecting Samsung. Many sites have restrictions on cross-border transactions. The reasons vary, but the most consistent reason is that the territory is with a different operating unit. For example, Google India would want to launch Nexus in India when they're ready, and so Google USA doesn't sell to Indian customers.
I agree that this is silly. All they have to do is to say warranties apply only in the US. But Google is not the only company doing this.
Sometimes, they are actually mandated by their clients to do all this. They hate all this fakery as much as you do, and would love to use their real names.
Sometimes? It's always the clients who mandate the accent "training", the "local knowledge" and the fake names. Why would an Indian call center agent bother if he or she didn't have to? It's not as if any of them actually enjoy their jobs.
I just returned home yesterday after a week in the hospital following a 9-hour surgery, so have some context for this.
When my attending nurse was signing out of his/her shift, he/she would come in with all my files into my room, with his/her replacement, and spend up to 20 minutes going through a very detailed handover. They were so efficient at it that even a casual remark by the doctor, "Get him a shave, he'll fell better" was passed on by the night nurse to the day nurse so that they could call the hospital barber.
Granted, this was in India, not in the US, but I was impressed by the detailed communications.
Tell that to South American and African cultures still practicing this successfully after ages.
A good example of homeopathic remedy... is good old fashioned marijuana.
Please tell me you are just trolling? Firstly, "Homeopathy" was INVENTED by Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. It did not exist before that in any form whatsoever. I don't know if "ages" for you means 2 centuries, but I would submit that in the context of traditional medicine, it means much more than that.
Secondly, marijuana for cancer sufferers has nothing to do with homeopathy or even alternative medicine. Its effects of reducing nausea, increasing appetite and relieving pain are well studied and understood. Homeopathic use of marijuana would not be able to provide these effects due to the extreme dilutions specified by the inventor of homeopathy.
Nice try at conflating traditional/alternative healing with homeopathy, which is neither traditional not a system of healing. The closest comparison I can give you is that it is as much a system of medicine as phrenology is science.
This is ridiculous. Child porn laws need to differentiate between nude images and obscene/exploitative images. Hopefully this security debate will fuel a rethink.
You have no clue what you are talking about. BTW, good job with selectively misquoting Wikipedia. That article goes on to read, ""It should be noted, however, that unlike China, successive administrations (through RBI, the central bank) have not followed a policy of pegging the INR to a specific foreign currency at a particular exchange rate. RBI intervention in currency markets is solely to deliver low volatility in the exchange rates, and not to take a view on the rate or direction of the Indian rupee in relation to other currencies."
The rupee was never fixed against the dollar - it fluctuates continuously. The RBI (India's Central Bank, like the US Federal Reserve) intervenes periodically, buying or selling dollars IN THE MARKET, AT MARKET RATE to reduce volatility. This is called a managed float. Developing countries do this to reduce sudden runs on their currency.
However, the general trend has been that the Rupee has been steadily declining. One factor has been the huge public debt that the Indian government has built up.
And India never "violated" any patents. Indian law provided for "process" patents, instead of "product" patents, in pharmaceuticals. This meant that the same molecule could be created by a different process by another company without violating patent law. This is a far more sensible approach - the company creating the molecule has a head start of a year or two while others create alternative processes.
Seriously, stop generalising and read up some of the stuff you're pontificating about.

baby pictures. Parents think they're cute. The subjects, not so much.
And outlawing such pictures by labeling them pedophilia is your solution?
