Do the cryonics organizations allow LN2 to boil off to the atmosphere?
Would there be much energy/cost savings had by compressing the already
very cold nitrogen as it boils off?

On a similar line, are there any porous insulators which the nitrogen might
slowly seep through?  It seems like this would allow a continuous 'convection'
of incoming heat away from the interior, putting that boil-off nitrogen
to good use.
