Yes, but water is constantly moving in a loop. It's not like you use water to cool chip #1, and then it moves to chip #2, it's constantly moving, so temperature delta isn't that much.
in their first serial design, that's exactly what it was doing.

The more I stare at this the more I think that using official inflation numbers / using the official CPI is wrong -- these baskets combine recreation and technology being nearly -50% (TVs can be had today for $300, whereas they used to cost $500 in 1995 dollars), assume you only buy new cars (only up ~25% since 2000, but used cars are now almost as expensive as new whereas they used to be available for half the price or less), and underweight housing (basically doubled since 2000, worse if you need to move to a HCOL major urban center for employment).
If you are a healthy person living frugally then I think the inflation in your personal basket of goods is actually higher than the fed numbers would dictate (esp for rent and housing).
that's a pretty localized in time issue re: used cars. There's still covid supply issues being felt in the downstream used market as a result of underproduction for 2+ years.

A supersonic passenger jet would not find much of market on short haul flights. They would either stick to the dense pockets of wealth, the biggest airports beside the biggest cities, or rely on feeder airports to bring passengers in. Either way, I don't see this saving much in actual travel time over the current system.
It's certainly niche, but NY-LON sees ~3 million non-connecting passengers a year.
If they can make it quiet enough to be supersonic over land, it's a lot more compelling. But even being supersonic for the atlantic crossing will shave hours off of most EU routes from NY.
I think the bigger problem is the time changes on a lot of routes make EU flights pretty efficient - you don't want the overnight flights to be shorter really (and I wish most were longer).

> Boom announced their own engine design last year but I'm assuming that's not ready
The complexity of designing an engine is comparable to that of designing an airframe.
maybe more so.

That is hard I think, as there are patents that are not licenced because no one wants to - but I think every holder of a patent must licence it to any party interested. So just "sitting on patents" is not really possible to my knowledge. (but I am really not an expert here)
Only for patents used in standards - where the standard enforces FRAND/RAND/other licensing schemes to insure that 'standards-required' patents are available to all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminat...
This is Qualcomm's big business (and others), getting their patents into standards like 5G and then charging people a fair amount to use it - and they have to license it to everyone, even their arch nemesis. Or you just buy their chips.
For a patent of something you invented, but did not submit to become part of a standards-body, you absolutely can choose not to license it for any amount of money.
This isn't universally true. They've primarily expanded by acquiring other companies, and a few regions do have IPv6. Lansing, Michigan in particular which was previously Lightspeed.
That being said, the CGNAT thing is just silly in 2023 - give us IPv6.
they're still going to have to CGNAT 65% of your traffic that's IPv4 only.

> the iPod was actually the first product that truly saw packaging elevated to the same importance as the product itself.
This is an absurd claim; vinyl LP records are just one counter-example. Some collectors will actually buy the vinyl disc from one source and then get a sleeve in near-mint condition from somewhere else. Does anyone buy used Apple packaging by itself?
Yes, look at ebay - there are plenty of boxes for apple gear for sale. There are collectors, just like vinyl.
I thought all coin mechanisms use magnets to differentiate coins, no?
A coin drops at a known speed and the right coin will get pulled by the right amount by a magnet or get rejected.
Not in the US - I think they use diameter and weight.
