The Tesla Roadster is a castle in the air, so two ex-engineers from Tesla have decided to create theirs

by

We have heard of the Tesla Roadster Since 2017. almost ten years have passed and the Tesla supercar only delayed itself, having promised that It would begin to be manufactured in 2022, 2024and currently without news of any kind about its production jump. Tired of the wait, two former Tesla engineers have decided to create an ultralight and hand -made alternative. His name is Longbow, and his deliveries will begin next year. The concept they promised us. Beyond mastodon with hundreds of horses and thousands of horse horses, Tesla Roadster wanted to fulfill the fantasy of every lover of the Supercutives: a very fast vehicle, but also very light. Zero to one hundred in 1.9 seconds, 400 -hour tip speed, 1000 kilometers of autonomy and a weight of just 1,000 kilos. Basically, carry the mad concept of the old Lotus, Triumph, Jaguar or Caterham to a street electric vehicle. The alternative that comes. Tesla’s idea, at least until now, are just birds in the air. Mark Tapscott and Daniel Davey, engineers involved in Tesla, Lucid Motors and Byd projects, have decided to get to work and create an alternative. “We need a light and more driver -oriented sporting, an affordable and accessible one for those who love to drive. That is why we create LongBow. Our first two cars, the Speedster and the Roadster, embody everything that a modern car must be: agile, balanced, electrical and exciting. We are reviving an icon: the light British sports car” These two cars will weigh less than 995 kilos (895 in the case of the Speedster), and promise to be “the spiritual successors of British icons such as the Lotus Elise and the Jaguar E-Type”. There will be no difficult figures to promise: they will offer around 330 hp and will make 0 to 100 in just over three seconds. Its batteries will allow autonomies of between 442 and 280 kilometers, according to the model, and its manufacture will be completely handmade in the United Kingdom. How much does the caprice of the electric supercar cost. Longbow figure at 64,995 pounds (77,476 euros) the price of the roadster, and in about 100,000 euros the Speedster. Only 150 units of each will be manufactured, with a total of 35 special editions (Luminary First Edition and 25 Autograph Edition.). Reservations are now available On the official website of the manufacturer, waiting for deliveries to begin from next year. The extinction of Light Sports. Beyond peculiar and isolated cases, such as Longbow’s, the Radiography of Light Sports is not flattering. The trend with electrification is that of create overweight carswith few options in the market saving specific cases such as Toyota Gr86 either GR YARIS (both combustion). The dream of British Deportivo is still alive in projects for the wealthiest. Meanwhile, the rest is still waiting The affordable electric.

The migration of billionaires in the last decade, explained in an illustrative graphic

by

In the last decade, we have seen interesting changes in the Formation of new fortunes around the world and how new technologies were replacing oil, logistics or industry as origins of that wealth. However, these fortunes do not have to remain exclusively in a single country so, such as migratory birds, billionaires also They move around the world looking for the best conditions To develop your fortunes. Migratory fortunes The report ‘Billionaire Ambions Report 2024 ‘ Prepared by Financial Entity UBS has studied the movements of the great fortunes between 2015 and 2024, observing some patterns that reflect the economic policies that the different territories have taken and the effects that these policies have on the great assets. To help us have a more global vision of the subject, in Visualcapitalist have developed a graph with the data of the Migratory study of great fortunes of ubs. According to the report data, since 2020, about 176 billionaires, which in total totaling a joint assets of more than 400,000 million dollars, have moved to other countries. This means that approximately one in 15 billionaires in the world has changed residence Looking for more conducive airs for your fortunes. The reasons why they move are varied, but mainly they look for tax advantages and places where is easier do business. China, Switzerland and the United States are some of the most popular destinations for these ultra -ups. On the other hand, Eastern Europe has seen the largest exit of billionaires in the last ten years. China leaves a positive multimillionaire balance The case of China is quite paradigmatic since it has become the country that has won the most billionaires in net terms during the last decade. According to UBS records, in 2024, China had 501 billionaires in total. During the years that monitors the study, 73 ultrarricos moved to China from other countries, while 48 millionaires undertook the opposite path abandoning the country. The result is a positive balance of 25 billionaires for China. Despite the recent economic problems caused by the Real estate crisis in Chinathe total richness of its billionaires has doubled since 2015, reaching 1.8 billion dollars. Western Europe is the second region that has attracted the most billionaires in the last ten years, registering an increase 20 millionaires. In total, the billionaires of this region accumulate a joint wealth of 2.7 billion dollars, growing 16% since 2023. With 117 millionaires, Germany is the country with more population of millionaires from Europe, followed by Switzerland with 85 billionaires and the United Kingdom with 82. On the other hand, the growing geopolitical tension that Eastern Europe lives, and the subsequent outbreak of the Ukraine War, He encouraged the move of 29 millionaires from that area of ​​the continent. The United States has also been an important magnet for great fortunes, attracted to Innovation and investment poles as Silicon Valley and New York are. In the last 10 years, 55 foreign billionaires moved there, while 42 American millionaires left to other countries. With the boom in the stock market in 2024, the United States housed 835 billionaires with a combined wealth of 5.8 billion dollars, which represented a growth of 27.6% in one year. The fiscal policies that They have adopted Texas or Florida, are leading that some of the millionaires who were based in California or New York Rumbo to the south of the country. Middle East is in full reinvention process, with projects like Neomwhich seeks to unlink the richness of the country of its fossil resourcesturning countries as United Arab Emirates, into the right environment for investments and the creation of companies. A proof of this is that the richness of the billionaires of that country increased by 39.5% between 2023 and 2024. That favorable investor environment It has served as a magnet to host Millionaires from Southeast Asia, Australia or the South American cone, attracted by a most lax fiscal policy With capital income.

In Jaén the neighbors are also protesting against renewable projects

by

The latest forecasts on renewable energy production They have placed To Spain as a great power in Europe. However, the growth of clean sources is not distributed uniformly, letting a large part of the projects concentrate in rural areas. Now, the voices of the protest do not stop growing. The claim. The massive installation of solar plants in Jaén has reached courts to stop the projects in Lopera, Arjona and Marmolejo. The neighbors and farmers, united on the “Campiña Norte platform against the solar megaplants”, They have denounced The environmental and economic impact of the solar installation. In addition, they have warned that they will cause the felling of more than 100,000 olive trees. A problem for the entire community. The growth of renewables in Andalusia It is drivenamong other factors, due to its weather conditions, making it suitable for The installation of solar panels. It also has various points for Green hydrogen extractionbecoming a favorable place to renewables. Also, the Junta de Andalucía has declared public utility Multiple renewable generation projects, dismissing allegations of those affected and advancing with forced expropriations to facilitate the installation of these infrastructure. Symptom of something greater. This phenomenon is not exclusive to Andalusia, since it is a trend that has traveled the entire peninsula. Starting with the teacher, where various communities They have shown His rejection of the proliferation of wind farms, passing through Galicia, where the Superior Court of Xustiza has intervened on multiple occasions in conflicts related to the installation of wind turbines. In fact, the motto “Renewable yes, but not” It has become the cry of a growing movement in rural areas (groups with more than 152 organizations), which, although it does not oppose the energy transition, does require a balanced and respectful development of the territory. Some produce, others consume. The conflict too shows the gap between the energy producing areas and the large urban nuclei that consume it. On the one hand, the autonomous communities such as Aragon, Extremadura, Castilla-La Mancha or Castilla y León that They are supporting Most of the renewable electricity generation in Spain. On the other hand, the big cities like Madrid that They consume large quantities of energy and almost do not contribute to the electrical system. This asymmetry reinforces the perception in the rural world that renewable development does not translate into direct progress for its communities, but in a negative externalality imposed by the energy needs of the cities. But and any solution for the field? The big question is whether there are alternatives to advance the energy transition without sacrificing agricultural or protected land. The answer is that yes and it is with the combination of both: The agrovoltaic. In the specific case of Jaén a study has found a solution To distribute the olive grove between panels solar panels, minimizing the impact of photovoltaic shadow on the growth of olive trees. In fact, there are many studies that have shed light on the installation of solar energy in crop fields, and have demonstrated how the shadow can be beneficial for the vegetation, A honey farm, Tomato cultivation And even to wool quality.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on March 15

by

Yes, Saturday. Day of tranquility and relaxation … as long as you do not have a car affected by the Sabatino does not circulate today. As? Yes, the Sabatino does not circulate today. The special day of the project devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) thought to reduce the pollutant emissions that you are present in the atmosphere and, therefore, we breathe. The does not circulate today draws cars from the circulation, rotatingly to try to improve air quality. But that project has its own standards and restrictions. Some that are punished with fines that must be taken into account. Of course, it is necessary to be very clear that this applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbation municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today But what do we have to take into account with today’s Sabatino? The first thing is to have very clear the restrictions that are reflected in the superior image. Among those restrictions are the specific ones on Saturday. Because, indeed, Saturdays are a bit special days. Here the restrictions of today do not circulate habitual. With the applied standards, the following situations can be given: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. What to take into account with today does not circulate Sabatino? That not all cars rest or can circulate without taking into account the week in which we are. Because, as we are telling, Saturdays are special. Thus, cars with hologram 0 and 00 will not be affected by restrictions. Yes, they can circulate without any problem any day of the week, including Saturdays. Those of Hologram 2 either have to think much whether or not they can use the car but there is a problem: they cannot move. Cars with hologram 2 have any problem because no week can circulate. This is because they are the cars considered as more pollutants. Hologram 1 do have to look at the plate number because depending on it they will have to circulate or stay at home. In this case, such as March 15 It is the third Saturday of March will be cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number will have to stay at home. This is because every week pounds a plate number. Thus, this week the cars with odd plate number rest and next week they will be done by plaque with torque number. And thus, successively even and odd they rotate. Of course, we cannot forget that there are some exceptions that go beyond being able to circulate freely at night. Thus, the following cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

This is what is happening

If you have a PC with Windows 10 either Windows 11 And lately you have noticed that your tools to control Fans or RGB lighting They have stopped working, it could be related to a recent security detection in Windows Defender. As The Verge points outseveral users have seen how Microsoft antivirus marks these applications as a possible threat, which prevents its correct operation. A controller at the point of sight. The origin of the problem seems to be in Winring0, an access controller to the kernel that many of these tools use. In recent days, Windows Defender has begun to identify it as a “Hack Tool”, which causes related files to be quarantine and that the applications that depend on it stop working. Winring0 is one of the few free controllers with low level access to the system, but its security history is not brilliant. In 2020, he was registered as CVE-2020-14979a vulnerability that, According to Inbibeallows reading and writing in the system memory to obtain high privileges. The big question: why now? It is not clear why Windows Defender has hardened his criteria at this time regarding a problem identified years ago. A possible explanation is the reinforcement of Windows security policies after the incident with Crowdstrikewhose failure in a security update caused problems in systems around the world. It is also known that Microsoft has decided to harden the requirements for controllers. A problem that directly affects users. Winring0 block has not only caused many hardware monitoring tools to stop working, but also caused strange behaviors in some systems. Some users They have noticed That their fans began to turn at maximum speed without control after the quarantine of the controller, since the applications that managed them stopped working properly. Image shared by one of the affected users The first indications suggest that applications such as Fan Control, Steelseries Engine, OpenRGB, Free Hardware Monitor, Capframex, MSI afterburner, Omenmon, Zentimings and Panorama9 have been affected, leaving many users without the possibility of monitoring temperatures, controlling fans or managing the RGB lighting of their equipment. The developers are trapped. The developer’s dilemma is that Winring0 was a free and free solution to access low -level hardware in Windows. Some companies have chosen to withdraw and develop their own solutions, such as SignalrGB, which Winring0 replaced in 2023 with a SMBUS owner controller. However, many open source projects cannot afford to create and certify a new controller, since Microsoft demands a digital payment signature for any software that access the kernel. What options do users have? If Windows Defender has blocked any of these profits in your team, there are several alternatives: • Update the application. Some developers are working on winring0 versions. • Find alternatives. There are similar tools that do not depend on this controller. • Add an exception in Windows Defender. Some developers suggest this optionalthough it entails safety risks and is not recommended.

Work up to 80 years have seemed little

by

Bernard Arnault is, According to Forbesthe fifth largest fortune in the world with an estimated heritage at 170.5 billion dollars, achieved thanks to the Empire of Fashion and LVMH luxury products that have been presiding over for more than 25 years. It seems that the millionaire is very comfortable in position And he is not willing to release the commission’s helm. In fact, it will propose a regulatory change in LVMH statutes to continue at least nine more years. I am made a kid! According to published ReutersBernard Arnault, 76, wants to continue at the head of LVMH to 85 years. Therefore, it has proposed to expand the maximum age established in the company’s statutes. The company’s request has been transferred to the agenda of the next Board of Shareholders of LVMH that will be held on April 17 where it will vote. This is not the first time that Arnault expands the maximum age of its executive director. In 2022 the shareholders They already approved an extension Until the age of 80, with the aim of ordering his succession at the head of the luxury empire. With this decision, the French millionaire seems to want to join the club of senior octogenarian managers who decide that retirement does not go with them. In fact, when Arnault first postponed the date of his withdrawal, Warren Buffett, 94, He sent him a letter warning that 80 years was a limit too low to retire. Again, The voice of experience of buffett right. Such and as he published Fortunethe LVMH CEO is in full form And he claims not to have lowered the pace despite his age, keeping a days of 12 hours a day. The “Succession” of the Arnault The news of the possible extension of Arnault’s mandate coincides with commercial tensions between the United States and the European Union. Donald Trump, a personal friend of the French millionaire, has threatened to impose strong Tariffs to European products like wine and champagne, which would directly affect the division of LVMH wines and liquorsMoët Hennessy. Therefore, Arnault’s permanence could be related to his desire to manage these economic challenges and geopolitics effectively, taking advantage of its proximity to Trump. Although Arnault has not yet announced publicly Who will your successorthe control of the Arnault family about the Empire of LVMH is more than insured. Arnault has five children, and all of them occupy strategic management positions in the main brands of the group, as well as in the Board of Directors of the Business conglomerate. Delphine Arnault is the CEO of Christian Dior Couture, the most important brand of LVMH. Antoine Arnault is LVMH image director and has held the position of communication director of Louis Vuitton and CEO of the Male Berluti firm. Alexandre Arnault was recently appointed delegate councilor of Moët Hennessy, after having directed the Jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. and, before that, he directed the Rimowa suitcase brand.

The first time a ship recorded an eclipse from the moon was in 1967. The second has been today

by

The blood moon is a land of blood from the lunar surface. The early morning of March 14, the Lunar Blue Ghost landizer of Firefly Aerospace He registered a solar eclipse from his unique perspective on the moon. It is the first commercial ship that achieves it. And the second in general, from the NASA Surveyor 3 probe in April 1967. Eclipse lunar, solar eclipse. In a lunar eclipse, the earth stands between the sun and the moon, projecting its shadow on the satellite, which acquires a reddish tone due to the longest wavelengths that are filtered through the atmosphere. Hence it is known as “blood moon.” From the point of view of the moon (the visible face of the moon, to be exact) is a solar eclipse. NASA’s Surveyor Lunar 3 probe was the first in register how the earth is blocking the sun to form a diamond ring, similar to the one we see from here during the total solar eclipses. The first private mission to record it. In addition to Surveyor, Apollo Missions Astronaut The Kaguya Japanese probe in 2009 They have been able to register them from the lunar orbit. But Blue Ghost has been the second ship to document a total solar eclipse from the satellite surface. Similarly, Firefly Aerospace has become the first private company to get this milestone. Not surprisingly, it is the first to have achieved a gentle in vertical, something they have tried Several companies in recent years with little success. Everything got red. The eclipse It started at 5:30 UTC on Friday. At 8:30 UTC, the ground around the ship and the surfaces of the ship itself They had acquired an intense reddish tone. At 9:30 UTC, the Blue Ghost lunar module photographed Your first diamond ring: The silhouette of the earth framed by the brightness of the sun, with a flash crowning it as a piece of goldsmiths. Firefly has been clearly victorious in one week in which another Texas company, Intuitive Machines, has tried to alunize its Nova-C ship. The landing “Athena” fell sideways and could not recharge his batteries, dying within a few hours. Blue Ghost, on the other hand, landed at first and deployed a heat probeamong other NASA experiments.

A company has created a humanoid robot of 38,000 euros and can already be reserved

by

Imagine it: A humanoid robot serves you a glass in your favorite bar, another directs traffic with millimeter precision and, in the bank or in the hospital, a human aspect welcomes you. Some even find a company in these automatons designed to look empathic. In a world in constant progress, the future seems clear: humanoid robots will be everywhere. How much is missing for this vision to come true? We do not know with certainty. Nor what unknown challenges will arise along the way. What is a fact is that the career to develop humanoids is more intense than ever. And in that global competition, With companies from the United States and China in frontthe last movement of China Ubtech Robotics does not go unnoticed. A real -scale humanoid. The Beijing and Ubtech Robotics Humanoid Robots Innovation Center have made known Tien Kung Xingzhe, a humanoid robot with dimensions similar to those of an adult. As we can see in the images, its design is quite futuristic, with a metal torso in gray and black tones, articulated arms and a head without facial features. But beyond its aesthetics, it stands out for several advantages: Advanced biomimetism. Its structure and movements are designed to imitate with great precision those of a human being, allowing him to interact more naturally with his environment. Maximum stability. It can move fluently even in complicated land such as mountains, stairs, sand or snow, without losing balance or compromising your performance. Disated to resist impacts. The key parts of the robot are manufactured with titanium alloy, which should reduce the total weight without compromising its structure. High performance and efficiency. Designed to operate with precision and stability in research environments, guaranteeing reliable and consistent results. Gran expansion capacity. It is compatible with additional modules such as depth cameras, lidar, strength sensors, collaborative arms of seven degrees of freedom and robotic hands of five fingers, which allows you to adapt to different needs. The Tien Kung Xingzhe has a bionic torso configuration and an anthropomorphic movement control system, which allows it to move with surprising fluidity. It has 20 degrees of freedom (DOF), that is, 20 articulation points that allow it to imitate with greater realism human movements. The more degrees of freedom has a robot, the more precise and natural its displacement will be. A robot for research. Despite the advances in robotics, the humanoids we have seen in science fiction are still far from reaching our homes. Therefore, Tien Kung Xingzhe is designed for the world of research. Its price, 299,000 yuan (about 38,000 euros), places it in an accessible category for development centers and universities. In line with its purpose, it has an open structure that allows access to its motor, sensors and movement control interfaces. It also includes documentation and code examples to facilitate customization and development of new applications. Do not wait too long. For those who closely follow the evolution of humanoid robotics, the Tien Kung Xingzhe is now available for early orders in China and deliveries are planned to begin in the second quarter of this year. If the deadlines are fulfilled, an Asian company could have advanced to several of the proposals that are being developed in the United States. It is true that we talk about different categories: while Kung Xingzhe is designed for research, other companies, such as Tesla with their Optimus robot, seek to produce mass humanoids for industrial tasks. However, in terms of early availability and adoption, China seems to be taking more than interesting steps.

Sweden has managed to be 100% recyclable and turn its waste into energy. Spain follows it closely

by

More than 190 million tons annuls of urban waste are generated in Europe, according to The European Waste Association. This amount of garbage has increased greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. However, to deal with recycling is not enough, but some countries have found a way to generate energy. 100% recycled. One of those countries and precursor has been Sweden, which They have found In the incineration of waste an energy source, providing heating and electricity to 250,000 homes. Energy source. The data, provided by the Swedish state company VattenfallThey have indicated that only 1% of the trash ends in landfills; The rest becomes energy through the use of biomethane. Thanks to this energy source they can generate heating, electricity and even can be used as fuel for cars. In addition, the Swedish nation is importing the waste from other European countries to produce more energy. The process. Waste management in Sweden It is done In plants Waste-to-Energy (WTE). Once there they are divided into three categories. The first is the organic garbage that is transformed into biogas, compost and fertilizers. Then the plastics that end up recycling. Finally, all non -recyclable waste is incinerated at temperatures up to 850 ° C to generate electricity and heating. And in Spain? A recent report, which has had access Infobaesaid that the Spanish nation will not meet the waste management objectives established by 2025. In it they have stressed that the waste sector is responsible for 5% of greenhouse gas emissions. But are they taking action? The central government has proposed to implement A packaging system, in which citizens will receive a refund for recycling containers. For its part, the Valencian Community will reuse The waste and mud that left the Dana, and is studying the possibility of incinerating them to generate electricity. But there was not an ace under the sleeve … Spain has A great potential To develop the biomethane industry, a renewable gas similar to natural gas that can be stored and injected into the current network. However, as indicated Cecilia Carballo for Fifodiesthe country is behind other European countries in terms of facilities. However, there is a glimpse of hope if appropriate support is given, Spain could take advantage of its ability to produce up to 160 twh per year, which would cover 50% of the national natural gas demand. For this, a robust regulatory framework and policies that foster their development are necessary.
