Amazing that there was only one big randomised controlled trial of mask mandates DURING Covid. Well done Bangladesh!

BICYCLING PHYSICS DU JOUR
It turns out that thinner tires are not faster than wider ones. They are just more uncomfortable, giving the illusion of speed.
Testing has been contradicting ½ century of dogma.
I am on 32mm (Domane). Shd I push to 38?

Important that people outside of journalism know that Oakeshott has long been viewed as a dangerous abhorration for betraying her sources. She is not a "journalist" in true sense of the term. She's a highly partial ideologue "hack" who just can't be trusted - nor can her 'output'

And fragmentation is still getting worse in Europe. Another three venues for trading equities launched last autumn.

This excess energy use may account for as much as 5% of all emissions from heating homes in the UK, according to new analysis by @fetzert, who analysed energy efficiency and usage in millions of properties inside and immediately outside conservation areas https://t.co/WWyo6lodWZ

Everything the EU member states just agreed on Mifid could change when they begin negotiations with the parliament and European Commission in H1 2023.

...abd Europe gets a post-trade consolidated tape for the first time. Prices to be distributed in real time with a snapshot of best bids/best offers from multiple venues.

[Will Hadfield @HadfieldWill]

EU member states also agreed to increase the limit on dark trading of cash equities from 8% to 10%. The 4% limit per venue has gone.

[Will Hadfield @HadfieldWill]

The EU's member states just agreed to update Mifid II:
Payment for order flow is banned, but individual member states (Germany) can choose not to implement the ban.

"The idea that companies need to import the democratic spirit in order to thrive in today’s world of knowledge-workers and opinionated citizens rests on a category error. We are born into citizenship. We choose to work for this and that company."

"Rees-Mogg surprised some when he signalled that he wanted renewable energy rolled out at speed. Offshore wind will be the biggest focus but supply needs to be increased everywhere.”

There needs to be a plan to reduce demand as well as increase supply.

Energy Bill to be ditched

There was important stuff in it, from driving forward heat pump sales to creating an independent operator of the electricity system

Technical but vital. If they're being abandoned this is this is a bad, backward step

And the award for biggest royal over-reaction by a sporting body goes to... British Cycling.

[Sean Ingle @seaningle]

Utterly ridiculous that British Cycling is still telling cyclists they shouldn’t go on club rides on Bank Holiday Monday ‘As a mark of respect to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’. Nowhere in official guidance is there any suggestion that sport, at any level, should stop

“There is obviously a question about how many will choose to go into a full-time, mainstream investment banking career,” Falco said. “If you want to go all the way, you have to move from Málaga eventually.”

"The NDC drops two specific, quantified targets for emissions and clean energy...

The first was to reduce India’s annual carbon emissions by 1GtCO2 by 2030, while the second was to hit 500 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil “energy capacity” by 2030."

Energy crisis: UK households worst hit in western Europe, finds IMF.

Reason is UK’s heavy reliance on gas to heat homes & produce electricity. In addition, the UK has the least energy efficient homes in western Europe.
