Ton of ambulances dispatched and passing 15th & JFK. What’s going on? @mkramer

• Daniel Jalkut:
  The Hyperloop would be a low-reward target for passenger-borne terrorism. Can?t redirect. Blow one up? The other pods automatically brake.

• Peter N Lewis:
  @danielpunkass automatically brake – and then what? You’ve now got hundreds of people stuck in capsules in a 100km tube?

• Daniel Jalkut:
  @peternlewis Good point. I guess that?s what beta testing is for ;)

• Peter N Lewis:
  @danielpunkass I’m trying to work out the throughput of the system. Seems to be around 450 people per hour, which doesn’t seem like a lot?

• Kevin van Haaren:
  @peternlewis @danielpunkass ars technica put it at 890 people an hour.

@kvanh @peternlewis @danielpunkass Seems to me that throughput is easily increased in v1.1 of the pods.

• Peter N Lewis:
  @jeffporten @kvanh @danielpunkass 840/hour is certainly more reasonable. LAX does 13K/day domestic. Not sure what the I5 does LA<->San Fran

@peternlewis @kvanh @danielpunkass Based on Megabus in Northeast, demand will expand if they price for capacity. Nearly all buses run full.

• Kevin van Haaren:
  I got 99 problems and they?re all goddamn dns

@kvanh Try a problemmask of 0111111.

• Mike Monteiro:
  Just saw World War Z. Nice to see Philadelphia getting the respect of being blown up in a summer movie.

@Mike_FTW I’m still impressed by the Twelve Monkeys memory of elephants stampeding outside Franklin Field at Penn.

• Ryan Kelly:
  If you want a vision of the future, imagine Barry Manilow’s microphone jammed in a human face forever.

@ryankelly That’s… creative.

• Ryan Kelly:
  @jeffporten “Capitol 4th.” Walked through crowd jamming mic into terrified faces for singalong & waved them off when they didn’t know lyrics

• Ryan Kelly:

• Christopher Soghoian:
  “If the news reports are true about my employer sharing data on all customers with the NSA, I’ll quit” said no Verizon/AT&T executive, ever.

• Rich Siegel:
  Unreproducible bug has been reproduced and squashed flat. /flex KNEEL BEFORE ZOD

@siegel You forced it to mate before dying? What kind of bug was it, a mantis?

• Rich Siegel:
  @jeffporten I said “reproduced”, not “duplicated”. I’m not *completely* heartless. :-)

• Darby Lines:
  It’s the end of an era, @flargh is leaving AMB, but fear not, @verso is stepping up to the mic.

@Angry_Drunk @verso This should be accompanied with a PSA whether @flargh has finally had that aneurysm. There’s money riding on this.

• Lex Friedman:
  Damn you autocorrect? http://moby.to/3ou37w 

@lexfri iOS Sieben?

I traditionally buy a bucket of popcorn, but $8 flipped the Jewish bit to zero.

• Michael Roston:
  ZOMG MT @kashhill: Love this photo of NSA office in Hawaii. Perfect for meme-ification http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/press_room/2012/a4_hawaii_final.shtml ? #rainbows

• Josh Centers:
  Boggles my mind how quickly some people are to attack Snowden and defend the NSA.

@jcenters Always the case. Can’t think of a single era in US history when the whistleblower wasn’t pilloried first.

“@BoobsRadley: STAN RIZZO TOPLESS OH MY GOD OH MY GOD” // Don’t know who this is, but probably better than Frank Rizzo.

• Quinn Norton:
  It’s bad to sleep on the subway with two large bags, right?

@quinnnorton Actually, that’s near the top of the list of large things on the subway to sleep with.

• Brett Kelly:
  I need a Mac app to create a podcast (create XML, upload media, etc.). Podcast Maker is out of date. What?s your favorite?

• Josh Centers:
  @inkedmn At @TidBITS, we use a Doug Adams AppleScript called PodBOT to handle all of that. :-)

@jcenters @inkedmn Best thing about Doug Adams’ AppleScripts is how they wrap the whole thing in a Somebody Else’s Problem field.

• Greg Knauss:
  @jsnell @glennf _I_ heard that Glenn is Marco fifteen years from now, travelled back to correct the devastation the Magazine will wreak.

@gknauss @jsnell Listen, @GlennF can’t be bargained with, can’t be reasoned with, doesn’t feel pity, and will not stop until you are read.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten @gknauss @jsnell I will not be numbered, filed, collated…

• Alan Sepinwall:
  Watching Rockford Files on Netflix. Like many ’70s shows, each hour opens w/trailer for the ep. Would cause spoiler apoplexy today.

@sepinwall Worked for BSG.

• John Scalzi:
  I see a lot of people angling for Tilda Swinton, but if we’re going to go that direction for the Doctor: EMMA THOMPSON, PEOPLE.

@scalzi If you’re going to talk Thompson, we also have to ask for Fry and Laurie involvement.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  What is the best place to get a one-off T-shirt done with high quality over the Internet for 1-1,000 quantity for individual ordering?

• Glenn Fleishman:
  T-shirt clarification: place where I can sell a one-off shirt that people can order individually?

• Chuq Von Rospach:
  @GlennF I know cafepress does that.

• Chris Breen:
  @GlennF I?d suggest you order more than 1,000 ?Glenn is my Co-pilot? shirts.

@GlennF The answer to this could be an excellent @TidBITS article. Assuming @TheMagazineApp doesn’t want it….

@BodyofBreen @glennf Personally, I’d need a much better definition of “glenning” before I’d stick him in the cockpit of my Cessna.

@chuq @glennf Every review of Cafepress I’ve ever read says high prices, low quality.

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten @chuq Sorta my concern. I like Teespring?s model of crowdshirting.

@GlennF @chuq Crowdshirting? Is that a thing now?

• Glenn Fleishman:
  @jeffporten @chuq It is since 1 minute ago

• Justin Miller:
  @danielpunkass @GlennF @drm510 Consult a doctor if Alfred stays in the foreground for more than four hours.

@incanus77 @danielpunkass @glennf @drm510 @jcenters Standard remedy for Alfred priapism is tincture of Quicksilver.
