Why Elon Musk's New Boring Company is Anything But - Duration: 5:28.
Real life Iron Man Elon Musk has probably done more in the past two decades to try to
shape the way we think about the world than any other entrepreneur out there.
Paypal revolutionized the way we think about money online.
Tesla challenged the way we think about electric cars and what a car should be, not to mention
question the age-old model of centralized energy generation and distribution.
Hyperloop -- while not directly something that he's pursuing personally -- is trying
to bring a new transportation method to the world.
And then of course there's Space X -- which is challenging the status quo of multi-trillion
dollar, government-owned space programs.
But that's not all.
Musk has, in recent months, played a role in founding two new ventures -- Open AI -- a
not-for-profit artificial intelligence research company charged with researching artificial
intelligence that can exist in harmony with and help humans -- and the Boring Company
-- a company that's anything but.
And I'm going to tell you exactly why next.
Don't doze off.
Hi there, I'm Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield from Transport Evolved, and today I'm going to
be talking about the Boring Company, Elon Musk's brand-new (well, reasonably new)
company that wants to build massive tunnels under major cities to ease their heavy congestion.
Supposedly inspired by the massive traffic jams that plague Los Angeles, the Boring Company's
purpose is to design and build underground transportation infrastructure that will help
make it easier to travel across cities quickly and easily by car, without breaking the bank
doing so.
So far, The Boring Company has a single tunnel-building machine, which has been building test-trenches
thirty-feet wide, fifty feet long and fifteen feet deep on Space X's premises in Los Angeles.
But eventually, the company hopes to perfect its tunneling technique and engineering capabilities
to an extent where it could build massive multi-layer tunnels under major cities for
a fraction of today's current prices.
Of course, building underground has plenty of challenges, from actually making the hole
in the first place to figuring out how to ensure proper airflow through all of the tunnels
and making sure that any fires or fumes don't spread.
To date, there's been no discussion as to how Musk or the Boring Company hopes to tackle
this, but this weekend as part of a special TED interview, Elon Musk showcased the first
computer rendering of how the Boring Company would make tunnels far less boring.
First up, the tunnels would be built with a series of high-speed rail lines capable
of shuttling along electrically-powered car-sized cradle at speeds of up to one hundred and
twenty-five miles per hour (about two hundred kilometers per hour).
Then, at regular intervals that corresponded with major routes in the world above, there
would be special lifts designed to transport cradles between the tracks and the surface.
What of the user experience?
Well, you'd come up to the 'station' on the surface and drive onto a waiting car
cradle.
Once parked on the cradle, its ramps would retract and you'd be taken smoothly down
to the tunnel beneath.
Once there, the cradle -- with your car on it -- would be whisked away to your chosen
destination using electricity.
There would be no tunnel emissions, and because the cradles would be computer controlled,
there would be minimal risk of accident or injury inside the tunnel.
When you reach your destination, the opposite process would bring you and your vehicle back
to the surface side.
While the video shared as part of the TED talk is pretty darned short, it does of course
focus on Tesla cars making use of the shuttle, making me wonder if there may be some future
possibility to charge the cars as they travel underground.
It also shows a bus-like pod making use of the same network, meaning that autonomous
personal transport pods could replace the existing smelly, noisy and unreliable world
of most urban underground systems.
Of course, what we've been showed is just a 'what if' rendering, but there's nothing
about the process that seems that far-fetched.
And when we consider how many things Musk and his various companies have changed so
far, I'm not about to say it can't be done.
Yes, it's difficult, but I reckon if someone can do it, it'll be Musk.
Do you agree?
Do you like the idea of travelling underground at high speed in your car on an automated
electric cradle?
What would you pay for the privileged, and would it save time on your daily commute?
Or do you think this idea has too many limitations -- such as seismological restriction or risk
from water ingress -- to ever become reality?

that was your Transport Evolved video of the day, and until next time, Keep Evolving!

Brian Williams Gets In Huge Trouble For Crossing Rachel Maddow, Is This Fair - Duration: 2:14.
Brian Williams Gets In Huge Trouble For Crossing Rachel Maddow, Is This Fair
After President Trump's missile strike in Syrian, MSNBC's Brian Williams took over
for Rachel Maddow to cover it.
He's the one who normally covers those types of events, but of course many MSNBC fans thought
that the network was 'sexist' for allowing Williams a man, to replace Maddow, a 'woman'.
Brian Williams has gotten in trouble before over reporting incorrect details.
He blamed his faulty memory for his false reporting.
Rachel Maddow is on the other hand is an angry liberal extremist.
She recently humiliated herself after for releasing an illegally obtained copy of President
Trump's taxes.
Many people at MSNBC are furious at how Brian Williams covered the missile strike.
He called the war weapons 'beautiful'.
He also got in trouble for saying, "Thanks for visiting tonight.
Glad you were a part of our coverage," to Rachel Maddow on her own show.
"Phil gave Brian a very stern rebuke, telling him, 'Don't you ever do that again.'
But Rachel didn't seem bothered by it and just laughed it off," a source told "Page
Six."
"Not only did Brian go way over the top with his coverage of the missile strike, he
then totally patronized Rachel by thanking her for 'visiting' her own show and being
'a part' of his 'beautiful' coverage!
Has he not learned anything from 'Misremember-gate'?" said another source to Page Six

Devil May Cry 3 - Mission 1 - Walkthrough - Duration: 11:20.
Hi. This is a Devil May Cry 3 walkthrough.
And today, I will be walking you through Mission 1.
Let's jump right in.
So this is Dante and that's Vergil.
Vergil was an added playable character in the Special Edition
but I don't really like playing as him because he's kind of limited.
So I'm going to go with Dante, the main character.
So this is Gold and Yellow.
Basically, if you have a Gold Orb and you die, then you can resurrect at the exact same spot you died (at)
but if you run out of Gold Orbs then you have to restart from the checkpoint, and you've gotta probably redo the entire fight or something.
But, if you have a Yellow Orb and you die, then you have to restart from the checkpoint afterall.
And, if you run out of Yellow Orbs, then you have to restart the entire Mission over.
Kind of annoying, so I usually go with Gold Orbs.
Let's jump right in.
So these are all the difficulties and such.
I'm going to explain those a bit more (later).
Let's jump right into Hard mode because it's my favorite (difficulty).
See ya.
Wow.
That was very fun. lol
Very stylish.
So you can select one of the four Styles.
I'll explain that a bit more (later).
You can Level-Up your Styles by killing enemies.
And you can select the Styles in the Customize here.
Yes, it says "Customize" instead of "Power Up" unlike all the other Devil May Cry games.
For good reasons.
Because you can actually customize your Equipment and Style.
You get Trickster for better dodges.
You get Swordmaster for extra melee options.
I'm going to go with that one for this Mission today.
Gunslinger gives you extra gun moves.
And Royalguard give you
[stuttering]
You can actually block attacks.
But the timing is very tight.
So I don't use it a whole lot but, if you use it right, you can also release the energy that you blocked
and it's very powerful.
But it's very hard to master so today I'm going to go with Swordmaster.
That's (Swordmaster is) my favorite Style by the way.
Let's jump right in. [How many times have I said that?]
So you get thrown into a room full of enemies right away
so I recommend you leave the tutorial On.
Red Orbs are this game's version of cash.
And it makes sense 'cause it's demon blood.
So, yeah. It drops out of dead demons, I guess.
So, yes. You have a big broadsword.
It's called Rebellion.
And these enemies, the black ones,
are called Hell Prides.
They're very weak, and they have barely any health.
But don't worry. You will get more variety of enemies.
Like this guy.
This guy is a Hell Lust, and he's way more dangerous
because he can lunge at you.
He's very fast.
Oh, more enemies.
And if you see a Hell Lust, it's best to take care of them first
because, see? he can lunge at you like that.
It's very hard to see coming if you're not paying attention.
And if you kill more enemies, that means that more Lusts might spawn in.
Not fun.
Whoops.
There we go.
[whistles]
That was close.
So you can see the Style Meter.
That increases (the) Style. The taunting.
And that's Prop Shredder.
Damn. lol Brutal.
Now we have two Lusts so we've got to be a bit more careful.
It's not too bad though.
That's a Swordmaster move called Aerial Wave.
And that's Million Stab.
That's a lot of fun moves.
Very creative and stylish moves.
They can leap in from off screen so just watch out for that.
And that was Mission 1.
So I'm not actually going for any, like, good scores or anything like that
because this entire point of this walkth—
[proud and bragging] I think I actually got a pretty good score.
But anyway, this entire point of this walkthrough is to walk you through the game and also teach you how to have fun
but not actually, like, care about the scores or anything like that
'cause I don't really care.
Well, the game will open up a bit more (in the later Missions)
And I'll see you in the next Mission.
See ya.

Turkmenistan's taekwondo team gearing up for Ashgabat 2017 - Duration: 2:25.
Turkmenistan, a former Soviet Republic that gained independence in 1991, is set to hold
its first international sports event this September.
Korea's martial art, Taekwondo, is among the 21 indoor games and martial arts set to feature.
Our Kim Hyesung reports.
"Ashgabat 2017, the 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games is less than five months away,
and here at the Ashgabat Olympic Complex, Turkmenistan's national Taekwondo team is
training hard."
Front kick, spinning, left and right, with a shout.
Young, fit, Turkmen Taekwondo masters in their crisp white "Dobok" uniforms practice various
moves, a sport that requires balance, speed and technique.
"2017 Indoor and Martial Arts games is very important game for me.
Especially, from Korea, our coach Jaesoong Lee, we have training with him everyday, in
morning and every evening, in morning, we do running we do physical training and with
him evening, we do basic training, technique training, spinning.
I hope that on the competition, I will take a gold medal."
Turkmenistan formed its Taekwondo national team in 2000, but the Central Asian country
has yet to win a medal in an international event.
Yet coach Lee Jae-soong, who joined the team in February, is very optimistic.
"The Turkmen athletes have great potential as they are very young.
Some even have experience in international events like the 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
I'm trying to train them techniques that suit their body type.
For tall athletes, higher kicks to the head, for shorter athletes, back kicks, which now
also get you two points."
The main objective of Taekwondo is to kick the opponent on the scoring areas like the
head and the body during three two-minute rounds.
The rules changed earlier this year; kicks to the head are still three points and punches
one point, but kicks to the body are now worth two points instead of one, making the sport
more dynamic and active.
The fifth Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games, showcasing 21 different sports, will take
place from September 17th to the 27th in Ashgabat.
