The study says black holes could hypothetically be used like this.
The headline implies aliens exist and might be doing this.
Which is why the headline is clickbait.
>why do a click bait with an attached study?
So people click it...

I doubt it's click bait if there's an actual study that says the same thing.
I understand your hesitation, however, why do a click bait with an attached study?

It's just a clickbait headline

Agreed, and just to add, you also don't have the right to insist that someone else does not do the same (this is for people like OP).

Close to 24 hrs of of sunlight per day gives the arctic circle a short but very intense growing season. I’d be more interested in seeing how much viable farmland there is when the permafrost thaws and how much glacier scarring there is.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

People like echo chambers. Just let the inventors invent. And they do so whatever Reddit thinks is bollocks anyway plus elon the devil is involved… so fighting a losing battle no matter what it is

Eu is not Amerika we already have trains. Plus you are not talking about hyperloop but about him building tunnels.

Reply to comment by RolfEjerskov in Will full self driving be lingering around in beta for a decade or two? by RolfEjerskov
Lol and teslas hit baby strollers. Super cruise is going to be pretty good. Don’t discount it yet.
Gotta remember, all of these other car manufacturers have to put out a functioning product. Tesla gets away with having their owners beta test software. Mercedes owners won’t put up with that. As these self driving features become available on established marquees, it’ll be quite interesting to see how Tesla keeps up

There are 3 aspect to this: need, technology, and capacity.
Hyperloop is basically a maglev, but much smaller, with life support, inside a tube, that must be evacuated from air.
In terms of need, the vacuum tube is not actually needed. We already know you can do 600 Km/h with maglev just fine and with technological advancements you could probably push that to 900 Km/h if you really, really wanted to and the electricity was cheap enough. (this causes goemtric issues with the track but that's another point, and also one hyperloop conveniently does not address)
In terms of technology, pumping a thouosands-Km-long tube to be even a partial vacuum is horrifically hard to do. In addition, the tube creates a bunch of additional hazards.
In terms of capacity, one of the advantages of trains over planes is that because they have a much higher capacity, they can actually do mass transit at scale instead of becoming saturated like airports often are (you know how you take the plane and you randomly have to wait 20 minutes on the taxiway? That). Hyperloop has even less capacity than a plane by comparison. Economics also mean that lower capacity = higher ticket prices.
All this for an even higher cost than maglev (since the tech is maglev with a vacuum tube), which is in turn more expensive still than regular high speed rail.

How is maglev, which is already more expensive than HSR, covered with an extremely long glass tube cheaper than HSR?
I'm fairly pro-maglev, but I don't see the point of pumping up the cost by covering it. In the urban areas where this would have some utility in shielding the populace from the 600 Km/h noise and wind you probably can't go very fast to begin with.

No system exists that is without flaw or degredation. No system is 100% efficient. Recycling involves loss of some kind, loss that cannot be recovered. In any machine there is friction, and friction is always lost efficiency. No matter what you do, in the end you always lose eventually.

I don't think that's teachable. The best current society can do is scare tactics, mostly in the form of religion. Either you chase that sort of thing, or it's a non-issue for you.
