Buhuhhuhu··on Gas pumps freeze at Calgary gas stations [video]
Your logic seems to be broken: IF you have an EV car with something like 50-100kWh and you know that either you only travel short distance in such a week OR even stay at home, you can provide load support just by having the bi-directional loading controller checking the frequency of the power grid.

It could just stabilize it out of the box with minimal technical requirements.

It might even be easy in this case toa lert EV owners to do one or two plug ons and offs manually for the grid.

Loading the EVs slowly before the weather or when the other load is gone, could also help supporting the peak usage.

Buhuhhuhu··on Salesforce and Slack to pause all hiring in technology and product
My company also still is doing a big savings year and i don't get it.

If they really believe in capital, they need to show investment, need to be oppimistic and announce spending money to pull every other 'struggling' industry with them.

Buhuhhuhu··on Google Cuts Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions
For me this is very offputting and definitly makes me move faster out of that system.

I can either work for the next 30 years 40h a week and create some 'value' for companies like google and have nice holidays, etc. OR i don't.

And yes i can afford a very basic version of not working anymore already or at least no longer playing the game in some companies.

Wasn't there some Gen X/Z meme about quite quitting? Guess what could incluence this? Having an appreciation for your company and your companies management style.
