The article you cited does not agree with your assertions. It specifically tells you how and when to evaluate the use of an anonymous source.

If you don't ever use anonymous sources, many fewer people will talk to you. Being on the record about something that will get you fired, will get you fired - and then no one talks to journalists.

What separates actual ethical journalists from the rest is doing everything the article you cited suggests - validating information with alternative sources, understanding motives, etc.


You don't have to use every single source you talk to in your article though. Sure, I will grant my neighbor's dog anonymity but I won't include his opinion in my article at all.


in their first serial design, that's exactly what it was doing.


They mean it doesn't sit around and wait until it's hot, which then makes it "used" and unable to cool something else. It keeps moving through the first chip and is only a small percent saturated.


depends how fasts it is moving - but it's all moving at the same speed. The last chip will get less cooling than the first chip, proportional to the amount of cooling the previous chips received. Delta T doesn't lie.

Whether it's significant or not, I can't know - but you want it to be significant, otherwise it's less efficient.


It moves fast enough that the temperature delta between first and last chip isn't significant. Not too fast, though, because if the pump is running full-tilt it becomes a major heat-source itself.

> but you want it to be significant, otherwise it's less efficient.

No? You want a large delta between heat-source and water, as well as water and whatever is on your cool side. Essentially just between hot and cold sides.

Delta between heat-sources is irrelevant unless you start cherry-picking some very odd combinations.


> depends how fasts it is moving - but it's all moving at the same speed. The last chip will get less cooling than the first chip, proportional to the amount of cooling the previous chips received. Delta T doesn't lie.

The watts of cooling per chip will be the same. The last chip in the loop will be a little warmer, but not by much in a reasonable setup. The difference in temperature between each chip and the water running across it will be the same.

And if you take a weak water supply and then split it to run in parallel, you can end up with a significant heat gradient across each waterblock which doesn't sound great either. If you have 4 high power chips please don't limit them to .25 liters per minute each.

> Whether it's significant or not, I can't know - but you want it to be significant, otherwise it's less efficient.

Keeping your fluid cool is good for long term reliability. And if you're doing that, then every block is getting cool fluid and the other details about loop layout won't matter.


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.

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).


Maybe overnight flights should optionally let you sleep on the ground before/after the flight. Charge extra, you don't have to pay pilots or for fuel, park away from the gate.

You would need power without the engines but you could hook up a generator or a feed from the airport.


Planes run on shore power at the gate anyway.


Then turn on all the lights and wake you up for the preflight briefing!


I've been on redeye flights where, a few hours in, the pilot came on the PA, told us about something to see out the window, and also about the drink we could buy from the flight attendants - credit cards only please!

Air travel is just endless indignities and discomfort.


What would you possibly see out the window in the dark?


maybe more so.


If China is anything to go by, immensely more so, and you are not significantly helped even if you had all the documents and industry secrets required to design and build a modern engine!


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.


they're still going to have to CGNAT 65% of your traffic that's IPv4 only.


What's the source for that number?

I'd assume that when you have IPv6, the majority of your traffic (in bytes) will be IPv6 simply because all the CDNs and big video services do support IPv6.

Once my router at home crashed in a way that IPv4 stopped working but IPv6 kept on working and it was actually kind hard to figure out what went wrong because so much of the internet still worked fine.


65% is a lot better than 100%.

But the real number (at least on mobile networks) may be closer to 20%: https://www.internetsociety.org/resources/2018/state-of-ipv6...


Thats also six year old data; a lot has happened since, especially outside the US. For example european connectivity rate has doubled, and the top 1000 websites is close to 50% now which is also almost double that of 2018.


At the very least they could use 4x6x4 instead of normal CGNAT, and bring down the costs.


Yes, look at ebay - there are plenty of boxes for apple gear for sale. There are collectors, just like vinyl.


At least on iOS, only with MDM profiles for managed devices tagged as company owned I believe.


Not in the US - I think they use diameter and weight.


Sounds like slug heaven. But I guess if they don’t take $1 coins, it’s not as worth it finding a washer that will go where a quarter goes.
