But experts questioned the biz's progress.The Netflix Bites preview event was a four course pre-set menu. Brainy: Musk said that his company Neuralink could start testing its brain-implant tech on humans in six months (think: connecting your brain to a computer).Cartful: Party in aisle four? Kroger's quarterly sales beat expectations, and the grocery chain raised its annual forecast as prices for must-haves like eggs and milk stay elevated.Officials said they’re opposed to BlackRock’s environmental, social, and corporate governance investing policies. ESGone: Florida's CFO (yes, it has a CFO) said the state would yank $2B from BlackRock's management.Testruck: Tesla is moving beyond passenger cars: the EV icon delivered its first all-electric semi (dubbed “Semi”) to Pepsi, five years after Elon Musk announced the concept.The tentative agreement is being sent to the president to sign. Freight: The Senate passed bipartisan legislation to avert a nationwide rail strike that could’ve wreaked havoc on US deliveries during the holidays.Wild card: The cap can be successful only if China and India agree to support it, since they buy the bulk of Russian oil.That could wreak havoc on global supply and spike prices. No cap: Russia has repeatedly said it won’t sell oil to countries who implement a price cap.But it needs to be formally approved.Ĭap it off… The cap would make it really hard for Russia to sell oil at a higher price, since the world’s key shipping and insurance companies are headquartered in G7 countries - which could block those companies from handling Russian crude shipments if they violate the cap. Yesterday, EU governments reportedly agreed to a $60 cap, with a provision to adjust it to 5% below the current market price.But Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania knocked it down, arguing it was too high to dent Russia’s income. This week, a proposal suggested a $62/barrel limit.The US is pressuring the EU to agree on a cap, which would set a max purchasing price on Russian oil, meaning G-7 countries would end up buying it at a lower price (still hurting Russia’s coffers, but not as much as a ban).But the oil-ban plan was scrapped over concerns it would send global crude prices soaring, since Russia is a top exporter. The goal was to slash Russia’s oil revenues, which are fueling its war on Ukraine. Refresher: back in June, the 27 EU nations agreed to ban purchases of Russian oil starting on December 5. EU countries have been struggling to agree on a price cap for Russian oil. Looking for the oil cap… not the one for your car. The world’s oil supply is at stake as EU countries decide on a Russian price cap Not just Netflix: Amazon uses an “Amazon Preview” program to gather feedback on its original content, and Disney has a similar “Hulu Brain Trust.”. Now it’s expanding Preview Club to boost engagement (this year it posted two consecutive quarters of subscriber losses for the first time). But Netflix is notorious for using data to make decisions (think: recommendation algos), though critics say data shouldn’t determine which IP to acquire or which shows to renew. Preview and review… For decades studios have screened movies to “test audiences” to predict how well they’ll perform. Data-driven do-overs: Netflix said it added more humor to the Leo DiCaprio flick “Don’t Look Up” after viewers deemed it too serious and changed “The Sandman” after noticing that few finished the series.“We take your feedback seriously”: Netflix launched the club over a year ago, and it’s used viewer feedback to update several original movies and shows.The club has 2K members, but Netflix could expand it to tens of thousands by early next year. Netflix reportedly plans to expand its Preview Club, which lets viewers watch shows and movies early if they provide detailed feedback. Sneak previews get serious… If you hate the ending of Netflix’s next show, you might be able to change it. Netflix expands its Preview Club to boost engagement by letting viewers shape content
