Senses:
gloss: To increase an engine's intake manifold pressure to higher levels than it is designed for.
pos: verb
examples: It makes sense to provide plausible engine fuel and ignition mapping to the limits of the factory fuel injectors, which would typically be sized sufficiently large to provide optimal fuel to the airflow/boost limits of the stock turpocharger even though the wastegate should normally prevent the engine from boosting so high. This is because the engine can overboost if the wastegate manifold-pressure reference line is cut (melted, crushed, disconnected, and so on), and a "safe" calibration -- even in forbidden overboost territory -- is one more countermeasure designed to help avoid engine damage from lean mixtures if the engine does overboost if fuel cut strategies fail.
Morgan was waiting outside in the bay. Didn't even wait for me to say a word. "What happened? Why did you overboost? You could have blown the whole shuttle, the whole expedition."
Overboosting is not something that “just happens.” Usually, it's under the control of the pilot, or can at least be prevented by an alert pilot.

pos: noun

examples: It makes sense to provide plausible engine fuel and ignition mapping to the limits of the factory fuel injectors, which would typically be sized sufficiently large to provide optimal fuel to the airflow/boost limits of the stock turpocharger even though the wastegate should normally prevent the engine from boosting so high. This is because the engine can overboost if the wastegate manifold-pressure reference line is cut (melted, crushed, disconnected, and so on), and a "safe" calibration -- even in forbidden overboost territory -- is one more countermeasure designed to help avoid engine damage from lean mixtures if the engine does overboost if fuel cut strategies fail.
These planes all have popoff valves, designed to prevent overboost, but the flow dynamics are such that manifold pressure can seriously overshoot redline before the popoff valve opens.
A manifold pressure overboost control is usually employed to reduce the possibility of overboost occurring. However, when overboost occurs, combustion temperatures rise, and detonation or preignition may result and cause serious structural damage to the engine.
gloss: An instance of overboosting.
pos: noun
tags: countable
examples: Manifold pressure exceeding the limit lines shown in figure 5-2, constitutes an overboost.
By delaying opening of the wastegate, the ECU could generate an overboost at full throttle, increasing boost pressure to 1.1bar, for a peak power delivery of 230bhp in short bursts of up to 30sec at a time.
Also, be careful you don't get an overboost or too much RPM when you reselect cold.

pos: adj

examples: One, admittedly extreme, means of reducing the impact of a command, control, and communication failure would be the adoption of a "fail deadly" mode of operation. For example, as opposed to requiring a positive signal to proceed on to target after launch-on-warning, airplanes might be permitted to continue until a negative recall signal were received. The risk of unauthorized action would be increased, as would the danger of accidental or inadvertent war due to equipment malfunction.
If one were to assume a more traditional Realist image of human fallibility, then one's confidence in the safety of the elaborate nuclear "fail deadly" deterrence order might not be so sanguine.
[F]ail-deadly is a concept from nuclear military strategy, suggesting deterrence by an immediate and forceful response to an attack. It is interesting to investigate what differentiates these two design approaches to security protocols, and what they have in common when we consider a family of protocols where both fail-safe and fail-deadly versions are considered.

examples: Kurt Gödel is reported to have remarked ‘‘There never were any set-theoretic paradoxes, but the property-theoretic paradoxes are still unresolved.’’ The idea behind the ﬁrst part of his remark is presumably that the notion of set was hierarchical from the start, so that it should have been obvious all along that there was no Russell set (in the mathematical sense of ‘set’). The idea behind the second part is that this obvious resolution of Russell’s ‘‘paradox’’ for sets simply doesn’t carry over to the paradox for properties.

Cryptocurrency veterans love to “hodl,” aka store their virtual loot as a long-term investment. But digital currency wasn't only made for hodling.
Buy and hold strategies for Bitcoin ("hodling" as it called) is likely to have far lower returns, even if the future is positive, and traders will lose the volatility that has made Bitcoin trading so profitable.
But even those with the stomach for hodling must avoid an even bigger issue — hacking.
