It took Brian_K_White's reply before I figured you were talking about "via" and not "PCB" :) (because you put "acronym" before "/short word")

That's why I said homicides.

The post I replied to said "If I'm doing vias, I'm nearly finished with prototyping". You're not if you're using a QFN switcher which needs heat dissipation via the center pad. There's lots of cases of pro

I guess you've never used QFN packages nor high-speed digital buses. Also you don't have to reroute, you can build it the same.

Far more deaths by automobile than homicides by guns.

I don't think you know how policing works in America. To cops, there are sheep, sheepdogs, and wolves; they are sheepdogs protecting us sheep from the criminals. Nobody needs to watch the sheepdogs! But lets think about their analogy a

Your temperature differential is already 300K, so the efficiency needs to be high enough. 50K change is only 18% more cooling, but if COP=5 then it's also putting out 20% more heat...

We won't get there by just saying "they" should be punished; most people can agree on that. Be specific on who and how.

Obviously there are various schemes to mitigate (not eliminate) this loss and others. It all takes expertise and money, both of which will be in short supply. Also it's not like Greenland has an excess of concrete or steel either.

That was just Proterra; all of Seattle's buses are from the usual suspects.

Wood is a much better insulator than those two materials. At cold temps even the fasteners holding on cladding over foam sheets is a significant source of lost heat, so if screwed into wood instead of steel framing, you conduct much less he

Or, you could let people decide how large a bedroom they are willing to rent and stop micromanaging/over-regulating every bit of real estate, which is why the costs are too high.

No, not at all. Have you seen the news? We'll be at Weimar Republic levels of inflation soon and half the voters think the person that's causing it will fix it.
