WeWork is struggling to survive in a post-pandemic world.
In announcing its earnings today, the flexible space provider said that “substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.”
WeWork has faced a number of challenges for years now, and with so many companies abandoning office space and more people being able to work remotely, demand for its co-working spaces has steadily declined over time.
When it comes to marketing any business, data never lies. However, it is easy to let our personal tastes and inner voices prevail, even if we do not have the data to back it up. The business owner’s opinions certainly have a place in devising their marketing plans, but they should never become an obstacle to success. And that is why I always use hard numbers to guide my marketing plans rather than gut feelings.
Opinions are great, but facts are better
Working with a variety of clients across the country, I see a variety of personality types, not only in the business owners themselves but in their businesses as well. I always want to respect my client’s input. After all, they know their business and clientele best. However, most of the entrepreneurs I encounter are looking for a noticeable improvement in their bottom line, and to make that happen, they must be willing to accept that they do not always know best when it comes to marketing.
Google can now help you check your grammar, right there in the search bar.
The new AI-powered grammar check, which is only available in English so far, can help users see if “a phrase or sentence is written in a grammatically correct way or how to correct it, if not.”
It’s a pretty easy feature to use. Enter a sentence or phrase into Google Search, followed with the word: “grammar check” or “check grammar” or “grammar checker”. Sometimes these phrases aren’t even needed, but using them will ensure that the tool will pop up.
If the phrase entered is correct, Google will present a green check mark.
There’s a chance your video calls will be used to train artificial intelligence.
Zoom updated its terms of service this week to allow it to use some of its users’ data for training AI. And the wording reads pretty strong, leading to lots of fears online.
The terms state the you grant Zoom “perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license and all other rights required or necessary” to customer content for a number of purposes, now including “machine learning” and “artificial intelligence.” Another section of the terms state that Zoom can use certain user data for “machine learning or artificial intelligence (including for the purposes of training and tuning of algorithms and models).”
The Wells Fargo glitch that made some customers’ direct deposits disappear from their bank accounts is over, the bank said on Saturday.
“All accounts have been resolved and are showing accurate balances and transactions,” Wells Fargo spokesperson Amy Bonitatibus said in a statement to CNN. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.”
The issue began on Thursday when a wave of Wells Fargo customers complained on social media that they could not access the money they had deposited at the bank.
On Oct. 28, 2021, a huge burst of plasma and magnetized particles erupted from the sun. The massive solar outburst washed over Earth, the moon, and Mars, bathing them in radiation. And, for the first time, instruments on all three bodies measured the same event almost simultaneously.
On Mars, the European Space Agency’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) and NASA’s Curiosity rover registered the influx of energized particles. On the moon, these particles were picked up by the Chinese National Space Administration’s Chang’e-4 and NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). And closer to home, the German Aerospace Center’s Eu:CROPIS satellite detected the radiation from low Earth orbit. The effects of this solar hat trick were reported Aug. 8 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Massive layoffs — at a pace nearing the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic — have rocked the workforce as the global economy inches toward recession.

Ever tried to focus on a task, but found your mind wandering to that uncomfortable conversation from yesterday? Or maybe, right in the middle of an important presentation, you started planning what to cook for dinner? We all face the siren song of distractions, constantly luring our minds away from the task at hand.
It’s easy to point fingers on external distractions – the constant ping of our phones, the lure of social media, the colleague dropping by for a quick chat, or even the too-cold air conditioning in your office space.
But often, the culprit isn’t something outside of us; it’s within. It’s what we call internal distractions.
In this article, we’ll delve deeper into understanding how internal distractions cleverly hijack our focus, often unnoticed.
Sunlight beats down on a graveyard for dead solar panels in Yuma, Arizona, hundreds stacked in neat piles, waiting for their next life. The great majority of worn and damaged panels are still dumped in landfills. But with more and more piling up, many people know that needs to change.
In this desert city where Arizona, California, Sonora, and Baja California meet, North America’s first utility-scale solar panel recycling plant has opened to address what founders of We Recycle Solar call a “tsunami” of solar waste. Plans to address climate change rely on massively scaling up clean, solar electricity.
The panels, stacked and banded, come here from the company’s main collection warehouse in Hackettstown, New Jersey, plus six other locations across the country.
