When I see “intel” I think of NSA, CIA, DIA, NGA, and NRO. I’m thinking, “Of course the NSA has an overclocking lab. How else could they gain total information awareness?”
Watching those guys talk to each other while wearing masks made me cringe: Fremdschämen.

Especially in front of a liquid nitrogen Dewar. Where is the boil-off going, and how is it evacuated from the room?

Funny you should mention that. I helped a romance novel author with a plot device along these lines. She needed the hero to save another character in some sort of physics-y accident. I suggested asphyxiation caused by a liquid nitrogen spill. She wrote a very nice acknowledgement.

As it happens, we’ve discussed nitrogen asphyxiation here already in a different context.

It’s good to see the Swiss aren’t just cuckoo clocks and numbered accounts.
