Not visible to the eye, didn't realise the camera was picking it up at the time or I would have gone outside to get a better photo. It peaked at 3am unfortunately.

It really depends on the company. You can make fully remote work, you can make 20-40% work or you can do 80-100% work. However the company needs to be run with that in mind to ensure good communication/team building etc.

You also can't just change the rules. If you change the split someone is going to be unhappy.

(And accept that your possible talent pool is reduced when you don't offer remote work)

Those quotes aren't in the parent comment?

And if they prioritise it etc then they are just prioritising netflix. It was a great idea!

No mention of direct capture - they should be able to give an accurate capture amount right?

Could be supervillain problems 🤣 comments about wishing someone would go away and an underling resolves it's in a more permanent way .....

Probably not, it's just that his entire exec team are spineless henchman.

I think the spacex team is still independent (ish) for now, I fear for them though!

I really want to see the email/message exchange preceding some of these changes at twitter/Tesla.

Is there any pushback/discussion any more, or does Elon just say jump and entire departments vanish?

There are too many idiots around to assume sarcasm . (Definition of idiot may differ depending on political affinity)

Not as enlightening as their credit card article, but still an interesting read.

There are some interesting ideas in there that I hadn't heard of. Interesting article

They are upping the rates on their fixed rate deals ( 5.84% for the next two years for example).

Because these rates can't be changed once agreed the banks forecast what they think the cost of their borrowing will be over the next two years (based on the central bank/gov interest rates) and set a customer facing rate that is competitive but will make them good money.

They have been setting their rates with the assumption that the government set interest rates will fall sharply this year. That would mean they could give customers an interest rate that's lower than the current government rate now because in a years time the government rate will have fallen and the customer would still be paying the fixed (higher) rate they agreed. (Making the bank good money)

However, inflation is proving more entrenched than expected and the government isn't reducing interest rates like expected. The banks are therefore not offering those lower interest deals to customers as they're not expecting to make it back later.

So this is that 90% of a factories CO2 emissions are not being captured by it's on site carbon capture facility. (Not that the carbon capture plant is releasing emissions).

On my (quick) read of the article, I don't think it said why that was. Was the plant at capacity, or did it have headroom, but the CO2 was just not being effectively captured to be stored?
