That’s awesome. Not too many things we own today can appreciate in monetary value to reflect the personal value we got out of them. Though I suspect the personal value can never really be quantified for you.
You still play any of them? Have a favorite?
Would have been perfect timing for the kickoff of the DGPT this weekend but alas
I feel if they know that this 100km collider can uncover 95% of the secrets of physics then it’s barely an inconvenience to build the 105km collider instead and discover the remaining 5%.
Hmm, that’s a new theory I haven’t heard. It sounds pretty plausible so I’ll be interested to see if it plays out like that.
Ahh, fair enough. Missed that bit
I feel like they’d have made more money by licensing their patent to Apple rather than trying to sell a watch for a ridiculous $999 price tag. I’m not saying they were wrong for their patent lawsuit, and it’s nice to see that small companies can still win, but I just don’t see this early product getting enough sales for them to profit.
This steels intended design use is hydrogen production through the electrolysis of salt water. Typically it is done with titanium because existing stainless steels corrode too much in the high chloride environment. But this novel process of adding corrosion resistance steel performs just as well as the titanium. It’s not a knife steel. As with most material science materials, this was designed for a specific use case in mind. Not all steels have to be good at everything. A knife super steel would probably be bad at hydrogen production for example.
You have a favorite photo you’ve taken over the years?
