The Boring Company describes the scent as "the essence of repugnant desire" which sounds, well, repugnant. At the same time, Musk's <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-the-boring-company">infrastructure and tunnel-building venture</a> suggests that Burnt Hair recreates the smell of a candle on the dinner table "without all the hard work," which doesn't sound that bad. It isn't clear if Boring partnered with a perfumer to concoct its potion, or if it brewed up the batches itself. Boring didn't respond to Insider's request to explain.So we were left with several questions. Is it supposed to smell good? Is it supposed to smell bad? And if it actually smells terrible, as the name implies, would that technically make it a success?Insider decided to put the scent to the test ourselves. One of our editors ordered a bottle of Burnt Hair the day it was launched, and in late July, the package finally arrived — though there were some quality concerns right off the bat with some of the perfume leaking out during shipment.<div type="image" title="A screenshot of The Boring Company's product listing for Burnt Hair perfume" height="1492" width="2880" msid="102249615" hostid="261" sizebytes="60530"></div>The perfume comes in a velvety black box and the bottle itself is a garish red with the word "SINGED" printed at the bottom. In order to keep our study as objective as possible we conducted a blind scent test. We sprayed the perfume on strips of paper and asked members of Insider's newsroom to give it a whiff and tell us their thoughts before we revealed what it was.<h2>Notes of ash, cigarettes, regret, and ... horse hair?</h2>Several staffers said the scent reminded them of cigarettes. "It's like really smoky to the point where I'm like it almost smells like tobacco or cigarettes or something," said Madeline Renbarger, a reporter on the startups and venture capital team. At the same time she said she sensed some floral notes. Deputy media editor Nathan McAlone sensed "stale cigarettes." The cigarette-forward scent profile of Burnt Hair was seconded by those in the office who do smoke. Darius Rafieyan, another reporter on the startups and venture capital team, initially didn't detect a scent on the paper."Wait, is there a smell on here?" he asked. Once he took a second whiff, though, he changed his mind. "Maybe there is, I can't tell. It smells like burning cardboard, like when you put a pizza box in a campfire."Rafieyan was one of the only Insider staffers who attempted to analyze the scent straight from the source. Upon sniffing Burnt Hair directly from the bottle he concluded that it actually smelled better than most perfumes. "I don't like it, but I like it a lot more than most perfumes," he said, "It's not super alcohol-forward, I don't really like most colognes or perfumes because they're so alcohol-y." For others, the scent brought to mind some pretty specific scenarios. We heard everything from "old lady in church" and "BO" to "wildfire in Colorado kind of vibes."Aviation reporter Taylor Rains said it smelled "like my grandfather just got home from the poker room after a night out." (On the bright side, she noted, "the bottle's really cute.")Another editor said the smell embodied "20-something regret" and "bad decisions." Senior tech correspondent Meghan Morris said the scent was the equivalent of a wine she once tried that had "notes of horse hair" in it, which she promptly poured down the drain.<h2>There were a couple of advocates </h2>Though most people didn't take to the smell, a small contingent of staffers liked it.Maddie Berg, a senior editor on the tech and trending news desk, smiled after sniffing the paper. "I think it smells good," she said. "It smells like someone who'd been at a campfire and working the farm or something. Like a burly country man."Another editor described the smell as "airy" and "cotton fresh" and added that she sensed notes of "sandalwood."<h2>Some people thought it was spot-on</h2>The premise of our unscientific exercise was to determine whether Burnt Hair stayed true to its promise, which was to conjure feelings of repugnant desire through the scent of burning hair. To that end there were a couple of staffers who thought the scent was as advertised.Brad Davis, director of business news, took a whiff and grimaced. "What is it made of?" he asked. "It's pretty gross…It does smell like burnt hair." He then began parsing through the list of ingredients (the official ingredients list on the packaging is "denatured alcohol, aqua, parfum, and isoeugenol").Transportation reporter Tim Levin agreed. "It smells like they mixed something burnt with actual perfume — something about it smells like an actual fragrance but something about it smells like it's on fire."

<keyword id="399907" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="meta" source="Orion">Meta</keyword> (formerly <keyword id="6354576" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="facebook" source="Orion">Facebook</keyword>) has taken on <keyword id="6460818" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="The-Wire" source="Orion">The Wire</keyword> publication again, saying that while it is legitimate for them to be held accountable for their content decisions, "the allegations made by The Wire are false" and the screenshots of two emails from Meta employee used in the story are "fake". The two articles published by the online news platform alleged that a user whose account is cross-checked can influence content decisions on Instagram without any review. "Our cross-check system was built to prevent potential over-enforcement mistakes and to double-check cases where a decision could require more understanding or there could be a higher risk for a mistake. To be clear, our cross-check program does not grant enrolled accounts the power to automatically have content removed from our platform," the tech giant said in a blog post, titled "What The Wire Reports Got Wrong" published late on Wednesday. The company said that the allegations "contain mischaracterizations of how our enforcement processes work, and rely on what we believe to be fabricated evidence in their reporting". The independent Oversight Board announced last October that it will review Meta's cross-check system and provide recommendations on how it can improve it. Meta also tried to explain what went wrong with the two articles. "The first article claims that a cross-check account has the power to have content removed from our platform with no questions asked. This is false. Cross-check has nothing to do with the ability to report posts to seek the removal of content. The posts in question were surfaced for review by automated systems, not user reports," said the company. The system is designed to ensure that the enforcement decisions related to content posted by cross-check accounts are made accurately and with additional levels of human review. "We don't exempt anyone from our Community Standards and remove content that violates them if we see it," the company added. "This article was also based on allegedly leaked screenshots from our internal tools. We believe this document is fabricated. The URL on that 'report' is not in use. The naming convention is one we don't use. There is no such report," the social network said, adding that they did not identify a user report regarding the @cringearchivist content in September as reported. "The second story cites emails from a Meta employee -- the screenshot included in the story has two emails -- both are fake. There are no such emails," the company alleged. The same story references an internal journalist "watch list". "No such list exists". Meta said that they accept scrutiny of their content decisions, "but we fundamentally reject these false allegations based on what we believe to be fabricated evidence. We hope that The Wire is the victim of this hoax, not the perpetrator". Meta Chief Information Security Officer Guy Rosen on Tuesday slammed The Wire for publishing two stories, which, according to Rosen, were "outlandish and riddled with falsities". Rosen, in a Twitter thread, said that he wanted to set the record straight about two stories run this week by The Wire "with untrue claims about Meta's content moderation operations and processes".

This move, the company said, is a way to avoid redundancies in job roles and the layoffs constitute 5% of its workforce. “These measures will help us achieve profitability in the defined time frame of March 2023," said Mrinal Mohit, CEO, BYJU'S India business. As per the audited FY21 financials that it released last month after an 18-month delay, its losses widened by 20 times to ₹4,589 crore. In the last three years, the company has been on an acquisition spree. Its biggest one so far is that of offline test preparatory services provider Aakash for $1 billion in 2021. The payments to PE major Blackstone, which owned 38% in Aakash, were eventually <a href="https://www.thehindu.com/business/byjus-clears-230-million-dues-to-blackstone-for-aakash-acquisition/article65931486.ece">cleared by the company, albeit after delays</a>. It has also purchased Singapore-based <keyword id="6559242" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="great-learning" source="Orion">Great Learning</keyword> for $600 million in 2021. Both these entities will function independently, <keyword id="3320944" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="byjus" source="Orion">Byjus</keyword> had said. Edtechs in trouble This year, many edtech companies have been suffering from loss of clientele after offline classes have commenced and screen fatigue. Since July this year, many edtech companies like Unacademy and Vedantu have been laying off <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/60000-jobs-in-startup-companies-may-lose-their-jobs-this-year-in-india-experts-say/amp_articleshow/91804572.cms">employees</a>. Byju’s which has by then also made its presence felt in offline coaching, is also known to have gone down the same path. As per reports, <a href="https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/byju-s-owned-whitehat-jr-lays-off-300-employees-in-latest-round-of-job-cuts-122062900323_1.html">WhiteHat Jr, owned by Byju's</a>, laid off around 300 employees in June from the code-teaching and sales teams. However, various <a href="https://www.news18.com/news/business/byjus-lays-off-over-2500-employees-in-toppr-and-whitehat-jr-to-cut-costs-5463853.html">media reports have pegged the layoff </a>number between 1,500-2,500. The company vehemently denied the numbers, but did admit to retrenchments. “To recalibrate our business priorities and accelerate our long-term growth, we are optimizing our teams across our group companies. This entire exercise involves less than 500 employees from across Byju's group companies,” the company spokesperson said after denying the 2,500 layoff number. In good shape says management The edtech giant, which is valued at around $22 billion and is the first edtech unicorn in India has also been under scrutiny for various reasons.
