This is an interesting point of view.

What I gathered from this is that the magnitude of this project is BIG. This will mean that it will involve more than one entity to participate and hence the need to keep it open.

In this case he has promised: "Will publish Hyperloop as open source." I didn't see a catch here.

In the same context, SpaceX have not applied for many patents when compared to the work they are doing. However in this case the prime motive could be keep the tech secret.

Media sites are painful to visit with so many libraries and embedded widgets. Those pages load much faster after using Noscript to selectively load JS. Wish there was a built in repository where people could share whitelists.

It is incredible to think how we can control atoms so precisely! This shows how nascent this science is and we have to go a long way. Once precise nano-control becomes more widespread we will see a new wave of engineering delivering goods that we thought were possible only in movies. At very high storage densities everyone of us could carry the same amount of data that powers Google's search engines.

Can the control over domain names be decentralized to prevent it be single point of failure? Bitcoin may do it for curreny.

.onion pseudo TLD may be the first step in evolution. But the names are 16-bit hashes making it too long and complex.
