That is a great explanation, thanks! I understand the difference now.

As a non English speaker, I can't tell the difference. Might be the same for OP.
I think the experts who believes in this technology know a bit more than you and me who only read a few wiki pages.
If money is going into this, they also have a believable plan. But big oil certainly want you to think otherwise.
Sodium batteries will not replace lithium in cars, as the density is too low.
It means the battery weighs more but contains less power.
For an EV, that wouldn't work, as the heavier the car is, the more power it uses.
With sodium you will probably half the range of the EV, which is already low.
The draw-back with sodium batteries needs to be known, because they won't replace lithium anytime soon.
The density is lower, which is a great problem in EVs.
Not trying to be negative, but for an EV, or anything handheld, you get more weight for less power. Which is essential in a car, that uses more power the heavier it is.
What sodium IS the best at, are use cases where weight and size doesn't matter. Like with battery farms.
In this case they are much better than lithium.
Batteries can't stabilise frequency. If the frequency changes too much, the grid will go down.
You literally need a giant spinning turbine for this.
It's pretty basic energy engineering, and is not related to load balancing.
While controversial, I think it's more a product of how insane US "politics" are.
They could be good guys even so.
My best guess would be that Shopify either care about the open Web or had some disagreements with Google.
I can't find anything shady on them, but maybe I'm looking the wrong places.
You do. They can only collect data you allow.
Are you familiar with the Danish system tho?
We have this in Denmark, and when it works, you'll all love it.
It's soooo easy to use, and it's also a very secure way it's implemented, because we have 2FA for everything important.
falls short later
So far.. Next model will be even better, and it won't stop getting better.
This is literally the plot for *China.
