a practical television demonstration that inspired
engineers and broadcasters to pursue commercial
development and transformed expectations for
mass communication. So now you know. And now
it's time for the weather report. This morning
there's light snow and it feels like 19 degrees

ascended the Taipei 101 skyscraper on Sunday
without any ropes or protective equipment. Kears
erupted from a street -level crowd as he reached
the top of the spire of the 508 -meter tower
about 90 minutes after he started. Honnold expressed,
what a view, it's incredible, what a beautiful
day, highlighting the windy conditions. He utilized
small, L -shaped outcroppings as footholds and

bamboo boxes. Unlike his usual remote climbs,

more festive. Hanold is the first climber to

precious metals. Robin Brooks, a senior fellow

surge in gold prices is part of something much
bigger. He noted that we are at the beginning
of a global debt crisis, with markets fearing
that governments will inflate away unsustainable

Let's talk tech. This Los Angeles startup, Carmen
Industries, is using SpaceX technology to develop
a cooling system for data centers. aiming to
reduce their environmental impact. The system
requires less power and no water, and the startup
recently raised $20 million. Chief executive
David Teer stated, our high -level thesis is
we could build the best compressor. Cooling systems
can account for up to 40 % of a data center's
power consumption. The market for data center
cooling is projected to grow from about $11 billion
in 2025 to nearly $25 billion by 2032. Carmen's
innovative design could significantly impact
the industry. Illumination and Nintendo have

folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
