Hyperloop, the Sela Tunnel and the new wave of lesbian cinema

Hyperloop, AI financial advisor and “internet” record

A European test centre for Hyperloop, a futuristic transport technology based on capsules moving at around 700 km/h through reduced-pressure tunnels, has been opened in Veendam, the Netherlands. The 420-metre-long tunnel is intended to serve as a space for developing this technology over the next few years. The centre’s director, Sascha Lamme, expects that by 2030, the first Hyperloop route, which may be 5 km long, will be built to transport passengers.

It is estimated that artificial intelligence will manage USD 1.4 trillion by the end of this year.
