Then next time try to compete on the grounds of merit, not by spying of your customers and competitors. Spend more money in research and less in espionage. Isn't that what "capitalism" is all about?
I quit Slashdot some time ago because all the stories were flamebait pieces of shit like this one. After some time, it seemed to have improved, so I came back. Looks like it's becoming a cesspit again. Who the fuck is approving this shit?
Managing the batteries means hiring someone with that knowledge or paying for training/other development to get it in-house...at which point, those people would become more desirable on the job market as more buildings installed battery systems, increasing cost of retaining that talent.
Oh my god! People! How I hate them! Always in the way of making good money. We should kill everybody in the world and just become ultra-rich. Oh, wait...
That's as short-sighted as stating the invention of machines for agriculture or industry didn't make everyone's life easier because, in the very short-term, the people who was replaced in those dangerous, insalubrious and low-paid tasks were fired.
I wouldn't mind programming the robots for some money. Simply, I would not put up with some shit I have to put up now, because I work for a living in the corporate world.
In Ancient Greece, where slaves did all the work, the citizens, who had nothing to do, got themselves busy in mathematics, philosophy, politics, etc. Mankind advanced greatly by that time.
Granted, many will just watch TV and drink booze. Many others will pursue interesting and useful endeavours. But why should the latter be judgemental about the former? In a post-scarcity society, their work is not needed, so either we leave them alone, force them to be miserable doing unwanted and useless tasks, or execute them. I can only see one options, I'm not a mass murderer and take no pleasure in other people's suffering.
People live obsessed about work. I know folks who live in a frenzy. They can't be idle, and keep judging other for not being busy. They can't understand that THEY are the wrong ones, not the others.
So why is unemployment rising worldwide, we the fortunate employed are increasingly working more hours a day, taking less vacation a year and our salaries keep dropping? Pretty stupid, isn't it?
They're standing up after having bent over so much that their foreheads have the carpet pattern printed on them. And, if the whole scam hadn't been unveiled, they would happily continue forever in their bent over position. Nothing to congratulate them about.
Dude, Orwell wrote his works as satires to the Communist regimes. But he got it wrong. The pigs are in power, now. And I have a clue for you, they're not Communist, not even a little bit.
If I had a Pickup I would carry a Rifle in there, As of Now I carry it in my car and have had no problems, Also I carry a Hand gun while driving. again no problems. as for one way ticket, in cash, you can still do it as long as you dont mind getting strange looks.
So please do go on.
What do you need all that artillery for? Has the Zombie Apocalypse already happened, or something?
You Americans keep mistaking two different concepts: Government and State. Those are not the same, you know? There's a deliberate effort by the Corporate Media Propaganda Machine to keep that fallacy in your minds. By what I can read here, it's working perfectly.

Now if there isn't a more worthless job title, I'm not sure what it is.
"Anonymous Coward" is a strong candidate.

I live in the south of Europe and haven't noticed any plumes. But the signs of life are abundant.
But it's a lot funnier if the whole summary is already a flamebait, full of unsupported bullshit.
It saves a lot of work for the trolls here in the comments.

Yet no one gives a hoot because Russia is good while America and their SUVs continue to be targeted by the rest of the jealous world....
"Russia is good"? Who the fuck said that? Talk about paranoia...
Advertisers or spies?
I'm not sure which kind of psychopaths I'm more afraid of being tracked by...
When everybody is paid $0 an hour, because everyone was fired to make their bosses richer, who will buy hamburgers from McDonnalds?
Corporations don't manufacture shit and sell it to leprechauns, they sell it to real people who need real income to buy it.

everyone will be happy once they have a Stalinist apartment block and a Trabant.
Add food, a TV set and beer, and most people will.
So why is unemployment rising worldwide, we the fortunate employed are increasingly working more hours a day, taking less vacation a year and our salaries keep dropping? Pretty stupid, isn't it?
Eventually, all this stupidity will have to end.
Strange how this reminds me so much about another article that came out today, I wonder why...
thank you for standing up

Too little, too late.

Usually you can just go to another entrance at the other end of the subway where the police haven't set up shop.
That makes it a ridiculously useless "security" measure.

But theft above one billion entitles you to a government bailout and "free from jail" card.
Stealing bucks is for losers!
155 MPH? How much is that in ells per muhurta (EPM)?
Yes, but they're in the right hands. It's the cops who should have them, not some random nuthead.
The American response for every problem with guns is more guns. Seen from this side of the Atlantic, it's almost comic, if it wasn't tragic.
No FUCK YOU. We have a second amendment right to be fully armed at all times.
Funny, that one seems to be the only constitutional right still being enforced in your country, these days.
No, marathon runners should all be mandated to carry an M16 while running. That should fix the problem.
