“hyperloop” high speed transportation

Travel from New York to China in 2 hours. NY to LA in 45 minutes. The hyper loop.
It took me more 9 hours to drive from Ha Tien to Saigon by Honda scooter (5am to 2:30pm) or from Saigon to NhaTrang. It took me 8 hours to fly from Saigon to Melbourne-Australia and more 20 hours to fly from US/Canada to VN either through Atlantic or Pacify ocean. From NY to Paris is 8 hours and Paris to VN is 11 hours or from NY to Hongkong is 16 hours and HongKong to VN is 2.5 hours.
Before I thought it will be faster to fly over Pacific ocean because it seems shorter but the last 2, 3 years I flied over Atlantic ocean to VN via Paris/London/Germany, it takes almost the same time maybe 1 hour more but this route is fewer people traveling so it is less crowded than HongKong/Bangkok/Singapore.
With the hyper loop will take me 2 hours to VN and I hope that I am still alive to ride on it. When I was young that I had a crazy idea that flying into the low orbit and waiting for the earth moves to a certain point then reenter to the earth, it seems crazy but now you can do it with 200 k via Virgin Galactic.
 I recently did a research on magnetic field, it is incredible that how much it can do because I just want to invent something relating to renew energy using magnetic field, it called permanent magnetic alternator, its energy will last up to 400 years.
Play guitar, graphic/software design, cook, tennis, swimming...now one more hobby for me try to learn/design a green energy but I have so little time to do anything. I know how to write real time software and graphics recently learning more object oriented programming languages and set out to do all by myself. A lot of ideas but so little time to try. (Song can co mot ly tuong va huong di ro rang chinh vi vay cuoc song moi thu vi hon, an uong ngu la chuyen binh thuong minh can cai gi do hon vay)
It seems an engineer you can do a lot of things, you can fly an airplane like a pilot if you want to because it is easy or become a doctor it is easy too than write the software and learn the new technology at the same time everyday it is very hard and earn the living that way, to me it is awesome and challenge but it requires a lot of work. Everyday is a new thing and looking forward a next day. That maybe a happiness? because you love what you're doing but it will not be the same if you marry.
More things to learn because everything is on the internet like an open book and it is ready for you to read. A couple of weeks ago I was reading how to go to Mars and it was not difficult to understand if you have a background and everything that I read it makes sense. NASA will contract to private companies for space explorer as the US Defense department did to the internet by giving the protocols to private companies to continue to develop and look what it turns out today. The private companies here tend to do a better job than the government because the competition in the twenty-first century capitalism. I think the technology for space explorer will be develop very fast in the next few years together with biotechnology.
Before I thought it would be so difficult to go to Mars but it is not because there is no friction/gravity and ....
Maybe one day ....and the hyperloop will be like the internet now and there will be no boundaries. The hyper loop concept is the same as travel into space when there is no air and no friction/gravity at all, the speed can accelerate greater 4000 miles per hour so from LA to Beijing is 2 to 3 hours that it is about right. It is not science fiction but it will happen based on physics laws and principles.
So the point that I like to make here is thinking is one thing but doing it is a another thing sometimes you have to change the design many times because you are the first one to do. The result is uniquely if you can effort the time to do it. At work we don't have the time so we patch very quick and start do an other thing because the companies like to push you to get the best out of you.
....But to know but not yet to do is not yet to know.
The computer can sketch me in a few seconds even print out with 3-D image. I believe that if we apply the principle into the laws of physics it will serve us well. In computer and science everything has the reason of it, even a blank page loads into the webpage it may not working, not because of the blank page but the object is placed before it (encapsulation). The object is derived from a parent class and it has characteristics or attributes - same thing as us. Everything is object including people we are an object to move and interact to each other. Many programming languages are based on object oriented from creating an object until destroying an object to free the resources for a computer to run forever. It is similar to human being. Most of computer ideas are adopting from our daily life activity for example IP address - Internet Protocol address is the same label of your home address where you live in must simple way 192.168.0.1 of 32-bit or 64-bit address. Object is created to serve our purpose and it must be freed. Object and its attributes/signatures are a complex affair.

Good listening soundtrack & my selection...

My selection includes > 140 videos. "Without a Motif, a Song Hardly Has a Chance."
J'arracherai, sans une larme, sans un cri. Les liens secrets qui déchirent ma peau. Me libérant de toi pour trouver le repos. Et pourtant, et pourtant. Adieu mon amour. The Beatles “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato.

Founders

Truth Simplicity takes a lot of time and focus. Simplicity with grace is Elegance. Simplicity without grace is Engineering.

To Mars ≈ 225 million km

Hope is Contagious - Barack Obama.
Study physics, and learn how to reason from principles versus analogy - Elon Musk.

 It's take 10 minutes to orbit. With zero gravity no need for the rocket engine, all it needs a trajectory toward Mars and because no friction it will accelerate by itself or with small boosters when needed (the path of a projectile or/of objects moving through space). The equipments are powered by the solar panels. To return just do the reversed trajectory. It takes 6 months to Mars. Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes. 
≈10 minutes to orbit with speed of March 25 and March 3 is just enough into space. Low earth orbit is 220 miles km of the sea level.
The colonization of Mars. - Rocket Science.
“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind,”
Astronaut Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11

"The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking."
"Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it."
“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.” Albert Einstein 

"And if we don’t have our dreams, we have nothing.” -

Investment

Three Things I’ve Learned From Warren Buffett from Bill Gates
He says a shareholder has to act as if he owns the entire business, looking at the future profit stream and deciding what it’s worth. And you have to be willing to ignore the market rather than follow it, because you want to take advantage of the market’s mistakes—the companies that have been underpricing. For me this is a really hard part to predict because all the info from internet is not accurate or often not synchronizing with the company status I talk about the real time reflection but the time you know about it, it has been too late ofter you can see why the stocks go up suddenly. Unless you have connection with the company. Only things that I learn never buy from Chinese/Indian company stocks and only buy the large value/blend/growth with 5 stars rate. It does not making a lot of money but it is safe it takes time to go down slowly you have the time to react because sometimes you are busy with work and don't have time to follow the news and the trend of market. Even with invest the large blue chip companies it is still better put the money in the bank, with the return rate around 5-20%. The real estate is more safe and less risky than stocks. With the global economy the stock is more risky it depends so many elements which happen in the world. China or Japan market could effect US stock easily. Sometimes you feel no control and nothing that you can do. Stocks are numbers until you sell it. If you follow stocks enough, you are confidence in it and if you are right because the market's mistakes for example this stock if you invest 5 years ago you could earn 732% there is nothing in the world that having this kind of return. I have to keep track all the stocks in the past 5-7 years even I did not buy but made the spreadsheet and put the date I bought just to see how it performs in 5 years. It is important to know when to buy and when to sell it. It is ok to make a mistake to buy wrong stocks but it is not ok to keep it, there is a point you have to cut loose and invest in other stocks instead of waiting for it to recover and come back. This is lesson learn for me. Knowledge is good the more you know the less mistake you make when acquire the stocks.
STX note $43.85 +$0.28 +0.64% 100.000 $5.27 $4,385.00 +$3,858.00 +732.07% A final note, I don't think that stock is gambling it is an investment which due to diligent researching and sometimes you do need luck I would say less 20%. Don't trade based on people opinions but trade based on something fundamental. Based on something you strongly believe in.

Why Do Some Countries Drive On The Left?

When I was in Australia and England I dare to rent a car because it is awkward for me to drive. It is easy to take the taxi. Remember 2/3 of the world is driving on the right. Here is the reason it is mind boggle but I found this clip by accidentally. I don't like anything relating to the King and Queen so England and Australia are not my vacation destination. Beside since I grow up till now, I get used to right side of the road.

Innovation

In order to do it you need to know this is why we spend a lot of time to study. With knowledge we can do...an extraordinary things. Life will be interesting to live because your passion is eager for doing a new thing. The things that you love to do. It is not about money. It is beyond money because everyone can earn money, this is about an exciting and challenging when coming to work.
SpaceX vs. Virgin Galactic in space explorer. Imagine that you could do this kind of work, it is so cool.
Don't limit your ambition, go back to first principle be ready to make mistakes toward your goals until then you have served someone 's ambition. You have to know yourself to be able to use yourself as a full potential for humanity.

Coding...this is where I do the real work

You want to be smart surround yourself with computers.

Internet is open book, the sky is the limit all you need a hard work, patiently/concentration... and enjoy what you are doing and the most important is your goal. The brain likes other things it needs to exercise daily. 20 years ago we did not have the tools and technology to go away and do this at our own time in somewhere in this earth that is far from everyone now I can do this. Your own world.
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Work is very important in my life and not...

Not a new car or a new house you will bore with it, work is one of passion in life - to discover a new thing is more interested than materials.
Was That Sergey Brin Wearing Google Glasses in the New York Subway?

He’s a self-made tech mogul worth billions, but that didn’t stop Google co-founder Sergey Brin from riding the New York City subway this weekend. Brin, 39, who ranks No. 20 on Forbes’ annual list of most powerful people, may have blended in on the downtown-bound No. 3 train in his jeans and pullover were it not for his futuristic, high-tech glasses.
A tech buff said he spotted Brin, who now heads up special projects for Google, riding the subway wearing a prototype of the much-buzzed about glasses from Google's Project Glass, which are promised to overlay digital information on the physical world.

They are very honest, truthful and funny. My father passed away when I was 12 years old so they are persons that I look up to.
Everyday happiness means getting up in the morning and you can't wait to finish your breakfast. You can't wait to do your exercises. You can't wait to put on your clothes. You can't wait to get out-- and you can't wait to come home, because the soup is hot. - George Burns
