Abstract:

Working from home has become standard for employees with a university degree. The most common scheme, which has been adopted by around 100 million employees in Europe and North America, is a hybrid schedule, in which individuals spend a mix of days at home and at work each week1,2. However, the effects of hybrid working on employees and firms have been debated, and some executives argue that it damages productivity, innovation and career development3,4,5. Here we ran a six-month randomized control trial investigating the effects of hybrid working from home on 1,612 employees in a Chinese technology company in 2021–2022. We found that hybrid working improved job satisfaction and reduced quit rates by one-third. The reduction in quit rates was significant for non-managers, female employees and those with long commutes. Null equivalence tests showed that hybrid working did not affect performance grades over the next two years of reviews. We found no evidence for a difference in promotions over the next two years overall, or for any major employee subgroup. Finally, null equivalence tests showed that hybrid working had no effect on the lines of code written by computer-engineer employees. We also found that the 395 managers in the experiment revised their surveyed views about the effect of hybrid working on productivity, from a perceived negative effect (−2.6% on average) before the experiment to a perceived positive one (+1.0%) after the experiment. These results indicate that a hybrid schedule with two days a week working from home does not damage performance.

Det er måske lidt 'preaching to the choir', men jeg synes det er en ret vild hjemmeside

Via et Google Cloud computer vision-program (Google Vision API) laver hjemmesiden en tre afsnit lang og grundig beskrivelse af billedet, når det er uploadet.

Det er selvfølgelig udviklet som en form for reklame for Ente, men det er ikke desto mindre ret cool/skræmmende

Fra artiklen:

Da man indførte pebersprayen, var det nemlig også med troen på, at man ville mindske brugen af for eksempel stav, forklarer Adam Diderichsen. Men evalueringen fandt altså ikke nogen reduktion af andre former for magtanvendelse hos politiet, efter at man indførte pebersprayen i 2008.

»Hvis man tog argumentet alvorligt, så tog man skydevåbnet fra politiet for at erstatte det med strømpistolen. Det, vil jeg mene, er mere fornuftigt,« siger han.

Der indgår en ret interessant figur:

Tirsdag gør Nordea det muligt for sine kunder at betale med et digitalt dankort i Apple Pay. ... I dag er det kun Danske Bank og Nordea, der understøtter det digitale dankort, men i en rundspørge foretaget af Politiken svarer en række banker, at de vil understøtte det digitale dankort fra 2025.

Det gælder Nykredit, Jyske Bank, Spar Nord, Arbejdernes Landsbank og Lån & Spar, der fortæller, at de vil lancere det digitale dankort i det nye år.

Sikkerhedsstyrelsens 6 batteriråd:

• Brug kun ubeskadigede, originale, genopladelige batterier.
• Brug altid opladere, der er beregnet til netop dit produkt – og kontroller, at ledning og stik ikke har synlige skader.
• Oplad dine batterier/produkter, så du kan handle, hvis der opstår varme, røg, dampe eller mislyde fra oplader eller batteri.
• Hav mindst én fungerende røgalarm i det rum, som du oplader i.
• Oplad ikke i nærheden af brandbart materiale, og dæk aldrig oplader eller batteri til - de kan blive overophedet.
• Oplad ikke på steder, hvor en evt. brand kan spærre for flugtveje som døre eller trapper.

Jeg er pt på udkig efter en ny stegepande (uden Teflon/PFAS), men synes det er svært at hitte hoved og hale i, hvad der er noget værd i oceanerne af SEO-optimeret robot-anbefalinger

Jeg tror mest jeg hælder til noget stål af en art da jeg har prøvet en non-pfas non-stick, der var noget værre hø

Det skal helst heller ikke være støbejern omend jeg ellers har hørt meget godt om dem

Hvad bruger I? Og er der noget I kan anbefale?
