The Elon Musk hyped Hyperloop One has gone out of business. Who could have predicted it?
The Elon Musk hyped Hyperloop One has gone out of business. Who could have predicted it?When Musk hyped Hyperloop One? Musk published Hyperloop design idea, and later has build a test tube at SpaceX premises that was used for student competitions. That's about it. Hyperloop One has nothing to do with Musk and I couldn't find a single example of him endorsing it.

Europe’s first certified full-scale Hyperloop test track is now ready for test operations, marking a significant milestone in sustainable and ultra-fast transportation. The 24-metre-long track was developed by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) Hyperloop research group. The first successful test run with a passenger pod in vacuum conditions took place on the 10th of July 2023.

Yes, I had to reupload. If you follow me on Twitter you'd know.
Who thinks something actual useful could have been done with all this cash instead?

There is an argument that there is value in the development work carried out in trying to solve this particular problem. Work involving students in universities get the chance to work on systems design and the hardware and software involved. The journey may be better than the destination.
Meanwhile Poland already has 290 km/h trains, both trains and rails certified for 250 km/h, deployed and getting you in 2.5 hours across half of the country. Apparently somebody has to tell these traditional rail engineers, that air drag is a huge problem.

Nevomo is a company from Poland, which “introduces hyperloop in steps”: first by retrofitting a maglev rail on top of existing traditional railway, then surrounding that with tubes, then making it the “true hyperloop”. Obviously you can’t charge anybody with fraud, if they only took money for the first two parts. I’m quite sure they will not fail in putting tubes around tracks.

Apparently somebody has to tell these traditional rail engineers, that air drag is a huge problem.250km/h is not that fast actually. Slower than Shinkansen and much slower than Maglev in China. Hyperloop as of "Hyperloop Alpha" paper from Elon targeted 1220 kph. You say half of Poland in 2.5 hours, but it's a relatively small distance.

Xitter, as in Shitter, which is what it's become since Musk took it over.
But Twitter is flooded with spam bots & nazis over here.
I am curious what's happening with the EU-lawsuite about false information ends.
Article 19
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
And that Elon refuses to remove hate speach and the like will be much drama in near future too.

Twitter/X is demonstrably better in almost every regard since Musk took over.
I don't know if you have another Twitter then I have over here.

Your behavior is absurd. You have been brainwashed. Mind conditioned to become violent. And you don't seem to be aware of that, not even a bit.

Watching this interview of Musk, I'm not clear how anyone can not realise the guy is a fuckwit, and that X/twitter, whatever you want to call it, is about to go under because Musk likes to posture and insult people.
My issue with this whole thing is that Ads in the online space are not targeted to content as much as users. With TV, you can only point at a large group based on past information to target advertising. So the show and the Ad content end up living close together as the network sells content.
On youtube though, the Advertising is, in theory, targeted to the user, based on all the rest of the info that Google already has, so really if everything is working, you should be shown ads that are more relevant to you as a user, not the video as a content type.
If you look at it that way, it seems that companies that are complaining are really whining that their ads are being shown to appropriate customers who ALSO are watching questionable content.

Advertisers ganging up in concerted way to regulate speech is plain wrong. Their job is to advertise their products and stay out of the platform policies and especially politics, not the other way around. Not the first time it happened either, remember Youtube adpocalypse that made it bend over and change for the worse?

Then too bad, you don't get to find out updates like that.
Where else am I supposed to put it? On the forum? Where? Youtube Community Tab where everyone would complain they get notified of every post?
X/Twitter is the social media platform of choice, everything else sucks. If you want to follow me, I post there multiple times daily. If not that's fine, but don't complain that you miss stuff.
I also post my videos natively on there as well, so you don't have to leave the platform to watch my content, comment, and follow my every update and thought.

If people think there is something like free speech or uncolored information sharing going on, they are deeply mistaken. Personally I don't care about twitter (and similar) at all. It is just like watching raw sewage flowing into the ocean. I rather get my information from more balanced sources like a good newspaper.
With all due respect - no thanks.
I understand Twitter/X provides you another monetization source, and a convenient way to do that.
But I'm not interested in that platform - I'm targeted enough, and I'm not addicted to hanging on your every word either. I appreciate your platform, particularly the forum and the comraderie of other engineers here - but I'm not interested in following anybody in the first place, much less putting up with yet more targeted ads & other 'noise' that others here have pointed out.
X-crete all you like! - I've got no FOMO

I get that Dave’s response was a bit harsh and could be read as “either do as I want or get lost”
But how would Dave post that kind of information, so it was noticed and wouldn’t require him to go and manually type things on every platform EEVblog is present at? Be reasonable, he is a human too.

I literally said "If you want to follow me, I post there multiple times daily. If not that's fine"
The problem is the same one that plauges every Youtuber/creator, everyone wants something different, EVERYONE.
Not only in type and style of content, but also in this case, updates.
Some want updates and my every throught on Youtube Communities, some hate it and just want me to STFU and make videos, some don't care.
Repeat the above sentence for every other platform I'm on: website, forum, Twitter, Facebook, Odysee, Rumble etc
The best any creator can do is do what they enjoy doing, and how they enjoy doing it, and people can either follow along, or not.
I enjoy Twitter, it's why I use it.
I didn't mean by my reaction that I have any expectations from you whatsoever!
I really DO understand that you get more eyeballs & therefore revenue if you post to more platforms - and I genuinely support your decision to do that.
I suppose the only thing I could complain about here, is that Dave could skip the “if you follow me on Twitter you'd know.”
It’s also worth noting, that there is an official blog entry, which also contains a direct download link. And Dave is posting to platforms other than YouTube. None of these were affected, if I understand correctly.
But the thought of interaction on popular social media in general repulses me. I'm not much of a follower, so I don't see the draw of Twitter/X (I'm also not of Facebook, and I've never even heard of Odysee or Rumble).
Or is it "the tone"?
