OK, 97% markup, or 57% if you include the marketing.

... can it get before all the engineers start speaking different languages?

A couple of things:

Do people still actually use Google anymore?

Have the other search sites crawled Google content and grabbed a copy of the take down request. Along with the list of URLs?

Sure, you've got cheap power then, but how the frack are they planning on cooling the TPUs? Heat disposal is a real issue for spacecraft, the first thing the Space Shuttle would do is open the bay doors to expose the radiators to space so the habitat area didn't overheat.

Moore's Law assumes two dimensional architecture, I don't think that three dimensional layouts were even considered to be possible at the time much less something someone would want to do.

I'm quite sure that most of the really major cables are already mined so they can be destroyed in an instant (or threatened to be destroyed) in the case of open hostilities. The major maritime powers would be foolish not to, they're much too valuable an asset to an opponent's military to not take them into account and it takes too much time to move ships into position to do it if a hot war erupts.

We can only hope . . .

Particularly if it was in error. I've got half the users on this site waiting to write my eulogy.

Boy will they be disappointed.

Mostly support for mainframes that they no longer sell, I think. The Pentagram for example has mainframes so old that they literally have to buy replacement parts on eBay.

Reagan and Nixon as well.

I just question whether Darth ever had any "friends", he was far more like Rump, surrounded by lackeys and brown nosers all looking for an advantage.

Those with higher levels of cognitive decline might be having trouble navigating the digital world.

This.

I didn't even touch on this because I've never worked the problem of hydrogen storage at power generation scales. But an application I worked needed hydrogen (and cost/efficiency wasn't an object). After considering all the tank/plumbing issues, we went with just making it as needed.

Has anyone done a study of burning the dollars directly in a thermal plant?

Not even close.

One thing hinted at: The hydrogen production/storage/transportation could also be used for fuel cell vehicles. So this could be a bail-out for all the people who bought those Toyota hydrogen cars and now need a station at which to fill them. Typical totalitarianism where the plebes have to finance the wants of the Inner Party.

Keep in mind that $799 would have been close to a 100% markup, too. They spend less than $500 to build most of the MacBook Pro models, and under $1000 for pretty much any configuration they sell.

Hell, they could just sell their regular iPad for a 10% markup instead of 100+% if they want to appeal to budget buyers. They wouldn't even have to change the assembly line except maybe to substitute an ugly lime-green case or something to let their regular victims, I mean 'customers', know that this person didn't cough up the full Apple Tax.
