Cheap, efficient electricity storage has been developed as iron-air batteries look it up, a company named Form Energy.
Hydro storage takes valuable real estate, so it's expensive to implement. It also displaces the local environment, facing tough regulatory reviews.
I sell products through Amazon, and was invited to opt in to have the products I mark as "destroy" to be donated to charity. There is also an auction liquidation program available to some sellers. My local liquidation store gets truckloads of Amazon returns every month. There was probably a real story in there somewhere but might take a professional reporter to find and tell it. I guess it worked, though, the headline made me click through.
COBOL was supposed to be auditable by business people who weren't expected to know how to code. Of course the business people never ended up auditing since few knew how to follow logic and there isn't any obvious profit in code auditing. Then layer a bunch of code on top to support a GUI, and you have an obfuscated mess anyway.
That's a great explanation. Too bad Robinhood didn't state it that way, warning the people *ahead of time* before limiting trading. Silly how supposedly smart people screw things up.

MojoKid writes: Boston Dynamics made news recently when 80% of the company was acquired by Hyundai. The company's family of robots is always impressive and now it appears they're having some fun to celebrate the close of 2020. Boston Dynamics' robot dog, Spot and its humanoid-like Atlas bot friend, were joined by their oddball sibling Handle to shake their booties on the dance floor to "Do You Love Me" by The Contours. The video starts off impressive enough with just a single Atlas showing its incredible dexterity while busting out some sweet moves that would leave even the late Patrick Swayze envious. However, as the routine progresses, the camera pulls back to show that another twin Atlas is dancing along with the first one as they show off their synchronized and fresh rug-cutting ways. As this robotic soul train continues to roll, Spot the dog saunters in to join in on the fun with the distinct flare that only rover can bring. The entire 3 minute clip is really a marvel to behold, and maybe even slightly unsettling for some that might not fully welcome our robot overlords.
"who emote differently" is fascinating wording.
Oxford dictionary: portray emotion in a theatrical manner.
Emoting would make the job interviews less boring.
