I could have gone on and on about this!  People seem to think that cos Elon Musk gave it a new name, its somehow revolutionary.  Its not.  The vacuum train idea has been around for ~100 years, all Musk did was give it a new name.  The technical problems with the hyperloop are significant, and are in no way addressed by the 'white paper'.  The hyperloop could probably be best described as bringing all the hazards of spaceflight to California!
