The Google one isn't built yet, so I'll grant you that. But, it is intended to be dramatically larger that the one you cite. 30GWh.

It is the world's largest currently planned battery. Who knows if it will actually be built?

I'm sitting here baffled by this summary. How does a 30GWh battery in paragraph one become a 150MWh battery in paragraph two? It makes no sense because of dog shit editors.

The summary is referring to two different batteries.

1. A 30GWh battery that is going to be installed, in the future, at a Google DC. Maybe.

2. A 150MWh battery, from the same battery company, currently being installed at a Great River Energy facility in Minnesota. Unlrelated to Google's project.

Reading Slashdot, I keep feeling like I have dementia. I can't understand half these story summaries that are being posted. They make no sense, have math problems or are otherwise incomprehensible. Then I realize that it's not me or dementia. Rather, I am being fed utter dog shit summaries by fucking morons.

I didn't think that we had quantum computers already.

How is it that we have Shor's Algorithm(from 1994) and have Google working on this?

Is it still theoretical and prophylactic, or does this stuff exist today and have real world possibility now?

27,000 flights. They have no clue how many drones it actually was. Could have been 3.

I'll take Things Losers Say for $2,000, Ken.

Microsoft then: Our existence, our survival depends on developers.

Microsoft today: Developers must die.

A bout of explosive diarrhea.

He damn near killed them all.

He should have known better than to hit that taco truck the night before. They're really lucky that it didn't last long.

You're definitely in the minority. The importance of these pleasantries has been thoroughly proven by studies in B2C and retail environments. Not that they really needed studies. Pretty much everyone prefers dealing with pleasant people.

That's literally why management in most companies train and monitor for pleasantries. For some time now, call centers have been using AI to monitor sentiment and pleasantries during calls. They did/do it manually before AI. Now, BK is automating that monitoring.

Traveling to a few places in the world where they do not share the importance of pleasantries like we're accustomed to in America is a jarring experience that really drives it home. It's quite the different experience to be greeted with a 'da fuck do you want?' attitude. The slow dragging flounce with audible groans of murmured complaints when they go to collect the item you requested is another one that leaves you feeling strongly that you'll never return. Really sucks when you have no option but to return.

I don't feel sorry for the BK workers. They are being paid to do a job in a certain way. This just monitors to make sure that they rea doing ias they are supposed to. Literally quality control.

Does this mean that the XBox apps default installed on Windows will be removed? Yay!

This story keeps being retold, as if it is some wide spread or growing epidemic. Nothing could be further from the truth.

There have been a slim few -- a handful -- of incidents where Flock cameras have been destroyed. But, not nearly enough have been impacted so as to have any effect. Nor is this a widely growing trend. No matter how much I wish it were.

There are tens of thousands of Flock cameras across the United States. The limited amount of vandalism being re-reported in this story isn't even a significant fraction of a percent of them.

That's not at all far off and tape adhesive is a high viscosity liquid.

Anyway, like I was saying, this little bit of lint was stuck in my belly button. I had to winkle it out with my finger. It took like 30 seconds. Amazing, right?

I can't tell you how happy I am to see extremely wealthy and Arab guinea pigs for these air taxis.

I think the risks are being optimally distributed.

This is the grossest Slashdot headline that I've ever read.

Never before has a Slashdot headline repulsed me so deeply.

Estimated(Copilot) annual after dark electric consumption in the U.S. is 1.3 million gWh.

So this "boom" in battery storage is capable of handling 0.00004% of after dark consumption.

You'll forgive me if I'm not all breathless about it.
