I figured she had access to the highest level cloud servers they offer, with her working there. Reading the article is says that every digit takes additional time, memory, and storage.
She works for Google in their "high performance computing and programming language communities" per the summary (I did read the article as well).
I wouldn't mind the Dyson fan for in the living room to move air but not have to increase entertainment volume to compensate for the noise. But, yes, they are stupid expensive.
I found the Google estimate site and used the highest RAM servers available. 25 servers at 24/7 comes to over $277,000 if paid by a customer. Estimate variables below.
That's over $1.1 million USD for the 4 month period.
I'd call this exercise a massive waste of electricity. How much coal was used in this exercise? How many tons of CO2 did this add to the environment?

Neither band I mentioned are really death metal. But they were important contributors to what would become death metal (I don't really like "true" death metal).
I did enjoy Ministry, another parent of the style (which also contributed to Nine Inch Nails later albums in my opinion).
I've been listening to 1990s Slayer and Megadeth lately, and it not only takes me back to another time but it's really good music. Dave Mustain is awesome on guitar and Slayer's drummer is a freak of nature (I can hardly tap multiple fingers to some of his rolls). The lyrics are funny as well ("growing madness as my mind dissolves").
Good stuff. I don't like their more recent stuff though. Biased due to original listening period.
Hang on tight, I'm working tangential to your comment on AC sound...
Funny you mention that, I'm addicted to fans.
Living room, bedroom, cubicle; all have fans. Car, fan on high most of the time.
I believe I get 20+ hours of fan every day.
Unless it's terribly hot I camp without a fan (I camp a lot). Of course a chorus of crickets is quite similar to the drone of a fan. Winter is a test in silence, because:
I also have tinnitus (permanent ear ringing - stupid teenager, too many concerts, too little ear protection), fans cover up the ringing.
Total silence is something I can't experience any more. I hear a low volume high pitch tone that wavers but never goes away.
I now carry ear protection (foam plugs) at all times, realizing I may need to protect my ears at any time.
I wasn't aware of those. Alt+Space is something I wish I had known about a long time ago.
The 50% of screen using the Windows key is pretty darn sweet (and if you move across screens it will cycle back to the first one when moving off the last one, if that makes sense).
I don't like that format (I like the single screen look, I would prefer the Windows 7 text descriptions rather than the screenshots, but I usually know exactly how many "windows away" I am for 5-6 apps when Alt+Tab-ing)
Another useful one (for killing off Chrome when it decides to go haywire): Ctrl+Shift+Esc = Open Task Manager...
Most of my robocalls are spoofed local numbers matching the area code and 3-digit prefix of my # (I was called by myself once which was really impressive). These are other people's phone numbers, I've called a few but stopped when it was apparent it was all spoofing.
Spoofing is the issue. I wouldn't really mind the robocall if it was a real #, then I would use the do not call reslution (which works, but spoofing makes it worthless).
Now I answer unknown #s and just be quite. Robocalls will hang up after a few seconds, mostly without any response from their end.
But it's gotten quite a bit worse in the last year. Something needs to be done. Obviously not Pai's fault other than inaction (which as you pointed out is the status quo).
I get 8-10 per day (from my area code/3 digit prefix - they are other people's phone numbers, I have called a few and surprised people answer) but have had my # for a decade and don't want to change that. I ability to robocall needs to change (go away actually).
Change the time 10 minutes every month, forward or backward as needed.
The Daily Approach
Change the time by about 20 seconds per day and then fix things up on New Year's Eve/Day.
This would be a boon to employment as manufacturers of anything with a clock would need to add wifi or some tech to get the nuclear time, or add +20/-20 second buttons to their devices. It's a win for the economy and an easy change to handle with regards to sleep patterns.
Rather than break the.Net Framework, they created.Net Core (which is cross platform). Both are being extended separately and in different functional directions (with a growing shared functionality referred to as.NetStandard).
How about photos from a music festival (and/or recording of the band)?
I am seriously impressed by the serious handling of privacy, I didn't realize it was that hard core. In the US we have no privacy and all of our info is just for sale (or stolen with no repercussions, Equifax).
But, I can do stuff like this (illegal in Switzerland apparently, but I didn't realize how nice the drive was until I was driving so my intent was just recording, including the very close deer on road miss, 0:54 seconds in, original song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
OK, I researched, holy shit, there are some heavy restrictions on dash cams in certain European countries. I wouldn't have thought that: https://www.express.co.uk/life...
They are legal in the US with the basic restriction being how much vision it obscures and where it is mounted (I only travel in states where windshield mount is allowed, but mine's on the dash, I wasn't even aware there were such restrictions): https://dashcamerasreviews.com...
You have shown me the error of my ways, specifically the "forever" part for videos (they will go private). I figure leaving them up long enough to report is fine in the US.
How so? I'm in public, recording the public, the activities I post are what's illegal.
When I catch, on video, a commercial truck accelerating through a stop sign (no slowing down) in a residential area, I post it (and get responses/apologies really fast, under 5 minutes).
The video is just a record of a public space during a short period of time.
I've been thanked by multiple police agencies as well for taking the time to post and notify.
I don't mind a bit of speeding on the highway, but running stop signs and red lights in my neighborhood is not acceptable.
If asked I would take down a video. No one has asked. Public record.
We started watching this last night with the kids and man it is incredible (first Rated-R movie for them). The kids take ju-jitsu so they enjoyed the training scene (one of my favorites as well).
That movie works on so many levels (and there were no sequels, those are just rumors from a prior version of reality).
I'd recommend getting a dash cam. Awesome fun busting commercial vehicles running stop signs or other stupid drivers. I just put the videos on YouTube forever and email the company and/or police.
Dashcam to the rescue: I had someone call the police to my office once, claiming I banged his car with my car door. I offered to get my dash cam and laptop so we could review my driving for the day (I was never on the same parking level as his car). The cop wasn't happy...

Hammet is certainly not bad but I ignore the band after the whole Napster stuff.
I really like your use of "cannot always" there...

In terms of electricity.
Or how much would it have cost someone who doesn't work at Google.
25 servers, 121 days, 170 terabytes of data.
And then the real question, was it really WORTH it?
Neither band I mentioned are really death metal. But they were important contributors to what would become death metal (I don't really like "true" death metal).
I did enjoy Ministry, another parent of the style (which also contributed to Nine Inch Nails later albums in my opinion).
Good movie, but I prefer Motzart (mostly to fall asleep to since I'm listing to Medadeth otherwise...).
I've been listening to 1990s Slayer and Megadeth lately, and it not only takes me back to another time but it's really good music.

Amazon has hundreds of house brands competing against 3rd parties (and they use sales information to drive new brands...).
But they don't charge 30% per transaction.

Yesterday I asked 10 people in the office a "Fun International Trivia" question.
The question: What country on Earth is four days into a countrywide electrical blackout?
2 people knew the answer.
That said, I didn't learn of the blackout until day 3, and then I figured it would be a minor event. Today is day 5...
You sir, are spot on.
I don't like that format (I like the single screen look, I would prefer the Windows 7 text descriptions rather than the screenshots, but I usually know exactly how many "windows away" I am for 5-6 apps when Alt+Tab-ing)
Another useful one (for killing off Chrome when it decides to go haywire):
Ctrl+Shift+Esc = Open Task Manager...
I use that combo at least 100 times a day. And Ctrl-Tab for web browser tab switching.
Another favorite: Window+arrow keys is awesome for resizing and moving windows (the 50% of screen shift is nice to put two programs on one screen).

Tell Alexa to play "12 variations by Mozart" at bed time. Tell her to repeat/start over until you sleep.
I haven't played the piano so much ever after doing this.
It is a fantastic rendition of a classic song.
For the record, I hate Alexa and the Amazon devices, wasn't my decision. I roll with the changes.
