That's quite an assertion. I think it is a leap to compare tech on a scale that has never been made with a novel rail design. Maybe it is commentary specifically on the funding of projects in Russia, but the hyperloop design seems quite a bit closer to reality than nebulous "nanomachines". Nanomachines are still very much an open ended research subject whereas the hyperloop seems more of an engineering project.

- ptaipale 10y agoSounds like a commentary on funding and execution of projects in Russia. Compare to http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-18/putin-says-he-needs-someone-to-hang-if-crimea-bridge-isn-t-built-ilxtahjl http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-03-18/putin-says...
