Yes, a simple phone with a SIM suited to the country. However since a few month in EU that is no longer necessary as the extra roaming charges got removed by law.
A hyperloop car will go with something like 1000km/h A plane goes with about 850km/h, but not on a flight with only 350 or 400km distance, because for that you don't use a super fast plane but likely a turbo prop. On a short flight the plane is spending more time in accent and decent than on the flight itself. So it will likely not even reach its top speed.
No idea how you come to "27 mph" in that context, missed a zero?
Suppose you're willing to work as a server for $20/hour. The restaurant owner could pay you $20/hour, or if you expect to make $12/hour in tips, the owner could get away with paying you $10/hour. No he would not, at least not in Europe. I would politely decline his offer.
You could get a $15/hour job, but it wouldn't come with tips. Of course it would. Because if my customers give me tips, I accept them. If the restaurant owner fired me, I sue him. Simple, in Europe at least.
And why should it not contain Java, when the inventor of Java thinks so? After all it is a Java VM, with a javac compiler and Java enterprise specifications with reference implementations in the Java language? And it is completely useless for C++ or other languages unless you want to interface those vi JNI with "Java"?
shouldn't include Java, which a 2nd grade reading comprehension would have told you. Then you should perhaps use first grade writing skills, or have a clue about what you write. Why a Java Edition that contains the word "Enterprise" should drop the word "Java" is incomprehensible for me:D
I would be ready to pay a nice price if there was SmallTalk for Android (not RedLine, based on Java, that has no 'images'), a truly one where you can suspend the VM and restart where you where.
But alas, I don't have the time to compile a Skeak or Pharo VM and figure all the pitfals.
Asm.js is a library that implements a simple virtual cpu and the opcodes to execute on that CPU. The idea is that the jit compiler can compile simple real asm instructions from that. The other idea is that language designers can compile to asm.js instructions. That is in no way faster than writing the code you want in standard JavaScript.
You confused by the word "asm" in asm.js:D
Anyway, in the long run the developers of asm.js hope that JavaScript engines will be "asm.js aware" and realize that they can treat it special and compile to a more optimized native asm, than they would compile "ordinary JavaScript"
I can link you the article again, but it is in the story right there! First of all: the hyperloop is planned to be faster than airplane. The other answer you got explains you the time waste of flights. And finally: if you head checked the proposed connections, you had realized that they are basically all to short for a plane to make sense.
I don't think government investment is bad inherently; I think government contracts with companies making known good technologies is a good thing. Probably 90% of the rail road systems in Europe, the Telecommunication land lines, the power infrastructure etc. was build by government owned "institutions" before it got privatized and "out sourced" to private companies. Heck, the french power grid is still run by the government and is only private "on paper".
Faster: depending on security check time, check in time before start and position of the endpoints in the cities: most likely. Cheaper: most definitely.
Much cheaper, probably not. As in the USA the company running a hyper loop would like to price it close as possible but just below the competition.
Japan does have a specific problem with people not having children though. It's basically too expensive, and even though they strengthened maternity rights at work women still feel unable to balance children and a career. There are also more and more men who have little interest in children, or even women at all, instead preferring otaku (nerd) culture. Note that they are not like western incels though, they don't hate women. The after Fukushima government issued warnings not to have children in the danger zones (and that is a quarter of the island, Tokyo is on), might have pushed that issue even further.
not to mention the difficult language. The language is actually super simple. They basically only speak "baby speech". From the Asian languages, I know it is the most simplest one, probably followed by Korean. Westerners are easily intimidated by the "writing system". Just learn the words... and actually learning Kanji is not harder than reading a chemistry book.
because for example a nurse needs to be able to read and write Japanese to work safely. Of course. And learning the 2000 Kanji a Japanese had learned after high school, takes a few years, that can't be helped. However if you are dedicated, learn only one Kanji per day, it only takes 6 years:D and it is no problem to learn 5-10 Kanji per day. Wich cuts it to a year or half a year.
and eventually the population becomes too small and too sparse to support a good range of public services. In the US, where public service is a communist thing...

Actually expert systems are AI.
I would suggest to read up the definitions of the guys who are working in the field of AI instead of defining your own ones.
That helps in communication enormously if you find a common vocabulary!
Never noticed ... and I doubt I will remember the next time I type SmallTalk, oops. :D
But thanks

My point is that the distances are relatively short. Better suited for a hyperloop than for any plane.

When I'm on vacation, I use my smart phone only where I have wifi.
For phone calls I use a extremely cheap SIM on an ordinary no internet phone.
Probably the crime of beeing to poor to hire a proper lawyer.

Could have answered to you plus + answer ;D
But here it fits better.
First of all: JavaScript is since a decade no longer as slow as people think. Nearly all browsers optimize it and jit compile it to assembly.
Secondly: http://gpu.rocks/
Hongkong belongs to China now, so there could be a catch :)

It is extremely unlike that anything in China gets broke.
As far as I know it is the only government that is running since decades with a positive balance.
China as an "industrial social complex" owns half the world in terms of land they buy here and there.
They are probably the biggest owners of land, railroads, mines etc. in Africa.

Getting money out of China, if you want so, is easy. You simply do a wire transfer to an over seas account. Just like in any other country.
I never waste my fucking time, I try to extend it as long as possible.

What kind of motor except for an linear motor would you useÃY
BTW: you should have checked the routes ;D
A plane is most definitely not even half as fast as a hyperloop cabin.
Faster: depending on security check time, check in time before start and position of the endpoints in the cities: most likely.
Cheaper: most definitely.
Much cheaper, probably not. As in the USA the company running a hyper loop would like to price it close as possible but just below the competition.
