  • Right, it’s a new technology, its usage is being curated. Even once they release a publicly accessible application, it’ll be like going to the hammer renting store, you get to go there and use a hammer, for a fee sometimes, you cant bring the hammer home or own it, they regulate what you can work on with it, it can be overused and inaccessible while demand is high, they can discontinue access when they want.

    And they can and do give more access to wealthier clients.


















  • Even with public support this isnt something I’d expect to see in my lifetime, this would be a huge undertaking, a milestone for a more advanced civilization in the future. I’d compare it to space travel, something that was figured as theoretically possible long before it was even attempted. It was a massive effort, but it was possible and was achieved and now many many decades later its having practical applications for things like satellites. But Musk has put it into a bit of a dark age, where its disregarded as a meme and so wont be seeing any advancement for quite some time.



  • Yeah i seen the rest of it, i was short on time. Thats not how engineering tubes works, we use them because you can add as much length as you want, the balancing of pressure forces occurs cross sectionally. A 2 foot pipe carrying 100 psi is experiencing the same stresses as a 2 mile pipe at 100 psi. You might as well be adding a /s to the idea of distributing water through pipes.
