It is a fantasy created by a Russian television

by

Russia has just discovered how to add Anything else More epic to LaLiga. The chain Match! TVin the hands of Gazprom Mediahas decided to promote broadcasts of the Spanish tournament among its users in a peculiar way: with A minute and a half video elaborated with the in which each club is assigned a particular avatar. The models and references to each hobby change, but everyone shares something: large doses of epic that sometimes touch the delusional. Emotion ‘Made in Russia’. What happened? That LaLiga has triggered her epic at new levels with the help of an unexpected ally: Russia. Russia and the artificial intelligence To be precise. As part of its promotion of the Spanish competition the Russian sports chain Match! TV (Матч! Т), owned by Gazprom Mediahe has made a video of a minute and a half with which each club shows in an original way. Instead of including players, stadiums, fans or fragments of matches shows avatars associated with each shield. All with their good dose of epic. Sports Alavés. The Athletic Club of Bilbao. Atlético de Madrid. FC Barcelona. The Betis. Pets ‘Made in Russia’? More or less. In the video you can see how each club has its own avatar, built with winks to the symbols of the equipment or their cities. In many cases the promo pulls directly from club pets. In others it makes a reinterpretation at least curious. For example, Athletic represents it as a lion (expected) With the Guggenheim in the background, in the case of Barça a cat appears (a reference to Cat?) Before the sacred family and when it is the turn of Valencia teaches A bat With the shield. More curious are the cases of Villareal CF, Betis or Celta de Vigo. When it’s the first (Villareal) the video does not show us GROGUETthe pet of the Castellón club, but a new interpretation of the ‘yellow submarine’: a kind of sophisticated diver with a submersible behind. In the case of Betis, a man with leaves appears in the head in an exotic rereading of Palmerín. Even more striking is the case of the Galician club. For Celta, promoted an eagle with the chest shield that raises a sword in the middle of a cliff. Maybe a nod to ‘Nocho’a pet presented in the mid -90s, although more than an eagle was a seagull with Viking helmet. For the Osasuna, the Russian chain imposed on the refiers to the enclosures and in the case of RCD Espanyol preferred not to complicate with (expected too) A huge parakeet. Valencia CF. The Villarreal. The Girona. The RCD Mallorca. The Oviedo FC. The Osasuna. The ray. Real Madrid. Are there more cases? Yes. For Real Oviedo the Russian chain has not opted for the pet Clawbut for a muscular warrior with an ax in his hand, the Vallecano ray is represented by a bee (Pica Pica muscular) and Real Madrid is a straight monarch dressed in white, with a crown and a orb-box in the hands. The Royal Society is a version of the official shield, a ball with a crown and a body (apparently) sculpted in the same gym as the rest of avatars; For Getafe CF a wink is launched to Pachón monkey And a ape with glasses that scribbles on a scroll is chosen and in the case of Elche opts for a modern (and very particular) reinterpretation of the Lady of Elche. In the case of Sevilla, the avatar is a barber with a razor and a ball tattooed in La Calva, the Girona An insect (Sisa?) And Mallorca a Resonated On the beach. Real Sociedad Sevilla. The Celta de Vigo. The Getafe. Elche. Espanyol. The Levante. Have you done it alone with Spain? No. LaLiga’s promotional video is hung on The official profile of Match TV on Instagram, where a similar piece can also be seen with Italian teams. If some avatars surprise in Spain, there is something similar with clubs such as Sassuolo. Both pieces also share two other things: the tone and especially their great, huge, dose of epic.

The weirdest thing that Mark Zuckerberg was carrying in his presentation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display were not the glasses

by

During the last goal presentation, the brand revealed its new technology of connected glasses. On stage, Mark Zuckerberg made a master of ceremonies presenting in the first person the new glasses and did so equipped with the Integrated screen glassesas well as with the bracelet in your right hand that captures the movements of your fingers to control the functions of the glasses. However, while we were all looked at the operation of that technological pairnobody paid attention to what the meta -founding millionaire dressed in his left wrist: a rare watchmaking piece valued at more than $ 585,000. Hidden. While all worldwide attention focused on the technology of the new Ray-Ban Display glasses and the innovative bracelet designed to control them, Mark Zuckerberg managed to hide an even more unusual accessory than glasses with screen: a rare Swiss clock Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante Ewt valued at more than $ 585,000. It is not the first time that the millionaire chooses an exclusive piece of these Watchmaking artisans Switzerland to make some important announcement of the company. On the occasion of the announcement of changes in the moderation of target content, Zuckerberg chose a Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 Tourbillona totally handmade piece of the Swiss watchmaker valued at about $ 900,000. A “rare avis” of collection. The Greubel Forsey Nano Foudroyante EWT (Experimental Watch Technology), one of the most unique and advanced pieces ever produced by the renowned firm. Highlights the level of crafts and complexity of its manufacture, with 428 components inside and an extremely limited annual production, since only 11 units have been manufactured for this first version, making each specimen an ultra exclusive rarityas Zuckerberg himself confessed to Drip in a later interview. According to the experts in the fieldhis greatest technological merit is found in his Foudroyante or “steering second.” The seconder is one of the elements that consumes the most energy in a clock since it requires that the hands of a complete return every second. However, Greubel Forsey has applied nanomechanics to reduce the size of that mechanism by consummating 1,800 times less energy to function than a conventional clock. Nanomechanics and High Watches. As indicated in The page From the manufacturer, Nano Foudroyante Ewt is the result of twenty years of investigations of Greubel Forsey, and his innovation with the functioning of the seconder It is qualified as his tenth “fundamental invention.” In this case, its milestone has been to get energy not measured in joules, it is that the mechanism is managed on a nanojulios scale. The technological advance of this model, not only affects its electrical consumption, but also the miniaturization also affects the size of the components, making the clock the most compact that has come out of its workshops, with only 37.9 mm in cash diameter and a 31 mm movement. With an innovation in each hand. The image of Mark Zuckerberg with the bracelet that controls the operation of the Ray-Ban Meta Display on a doll and the very rare Greubel Forsey clock in the other, is full of symbolism. A little over a year ago, this presentation would have made a Mark Zuckerberg dressed in Gray t -shirt and blue cowboy pantswithout more complement than the one presented by goal. On this occasion, on the other hand, an innovative company is presented that does not hesitate to ally with companies from other sectors such as Essilorluxotics to continue innovating. Who knows, if one day target dares to enter the field of smartwatches, maybe he does it from Greubel Forensy. In Xataka | The second -hand luxury watches market was in crisis.

Big Tech are already dedicating up to 70% of their ebitda to AI. The same figures prior to the outbreak of the points

by

The most powerful technology companies are immersed in A frantic career for mastering artificial intelligence. Therefore, the investment in infrastructure and technology that allows them to advance in that race is crucial. From its operational benefits a very high percentage is destined in the construction of data centers, buy chips, expand your computational capacity and the like. For some experts and analysts in the sector, this expense level is already reaching Typical levels of past bubbles. Echoes of the Puntocom. Big Tech are already allocating between 50% and 70% of their EBITDA (Operating Benefit before Tax) to fixed asset investments, mostly from AI and cloud infrastructure, according to the GQG Partners analysis. This resembles AT&T behavior in the Puntocom bubble (a company that before the debacle allocated 72% of its benefits) or Exxon in the energy bubble 2014 (allocating 65%). Percentage of operational benefit that Big Tech are spending against the level of AT&T and Exxon before bubbles. Image: GQG Partners Issues. For GQG Partners and as Share Also Tobias Carlisle, founder of Acquirer’s Funds, this high proportion is usually a sign of structural risk, with many expensive investments, assets that can be obsolete, and delay in seeing real returns. In the image we can see the percentage of total operational benefit that Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Oracle invest in fixed assets (CAPEX) In detail. There is a huge investor appetite, and the figures reflect it. Alphabet has raised its forecasts and Plan to spend more than 85,000 million dollars This year, almost everything destined to reinforce your cloud and your services. Goal, meanwhile, provides A range of between 66,000 and 72,000 million In 2025, promising to invest a total of 600,000 million dollars By 2028. On the other hand, Microsoft has also announced tens of billions in new facilities to accelerate the training of AI models. Together, Financial Times esteem That the annual capex added of the large technological will exceed 300,000 million dollars, an unpublished figure in the sector. That level of investment worries analysts. Goldman Sachs He pointed out Recently, Hyperscalers (AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud) have already committed hundreds of thousands of millions in Capex and R&D, which implies that, to justify it, they must generate much higher income in the coming years. On the other hand, Bank of America warns That the costs of depreciation and amortization of these infrastructure can grow even faster than the income that companies manage to extract from them, which could put their operational margins at risk. Morningstar, meanwhile, remember That the semiconductor industry, a centerpiece of this race, remains prone to boom and fall cycles, at risk that the current euphoria due to AI derive in a cooling in 2025-2026. Even Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAi, He has admitted That there is a “bubble” around AI, although it clarifies that technology itself will have an immense long -term value. Between the lines. Investing a lot in infrastructure does not guarantee on its own that future income will compensate for such high expense. If the euphoria between investors is maintained, perhaps yes, but if subsequently penetrates doubt and uncertainty, things can change. He GQG Partners analysis It also talks about “hidden” costs, accelerated depreciation, technological obsolescence, Huge maintenance of data centersenergy, and other factors that could erode much faster than real benefits are believed.

The brands are turning in the electricity. Porsche and Audi will return to combustion because nobody wants to buy them

by

We do not know the future and that encourages us to be anchored in the past. The electric car brings more power and greater control over it, a wilder acceleration or cars that will end up being more effective in curve. With the weight of the current sports, it is not surprising that we begin to see very similar figures in weight … and much better if we talk about the weight/power relationship with respect to the combustion models. Byd, in fact, has just demonstrated that The future of the hyperdeportivo is electricsweeping Bugatti and becoming the Yangwang U9 in the fastest car in the world. A long time ago, the McMurtry Spéirling I left ridiculous The acceleration of any car with combustion engine. And, despite everything, the sports electric car is still not pending. We do not know if it is a matter of time, if cars like the future RENAULT 5 TURBO 3E They will break schemes and become an immediate classic. But until then, the combustion car offers sensations that the electric car cannot match. For some those Sensations They are different. For others, they are clearly better. Anyway, there is evidence: the sports electric car does not finish convincing. And that is causing the plans to electrify these models are delayed. The best example is the future Porsche 718. A car that had to make the leap to the electric whole and that, however, will have a version of combustion. And that, with rebound, will lead us to a future Audi Deportivo that will also mount combustion engine. Porsche collects cable (and passing, Audi benefits) “We want to meet the new market realities and change customer demands. We have seen a clear drop in the demand for exclusive battery electric cars, and we are taking it into account.” The words are from Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche, in a call to investors collected by The Autopian. They arrive to confirm a change of strategy. Future Porsche 718, classic central motor sports and the entrance range to the company will continue to offer, at least in their most expensive options, combustion engines. The news is the confirmation of what began to be an open secret: the future Porsche 718 will not be only electric as He had defended until now by the company. The movement arrives just when it is also confirmed that the Porsche Cayenne will not jump into the electrical exclusive. It is a strong change in strategy since The good initial results of the Porsche Taycan They had served the Germans to boost their electrical strategy. However, China has turned its back on the company And it has broken much of this strategy. Along the way he has confirmed that wealthy customers who have access to their combustion cars … They are not making the jump to the electric. So much so that the Porsche Macanwhich was sold as an exclusively electric model, could have a combustion brother in 2028 according to Jalopnik. Of course, we will have to see on what basis because The PPE on which the macan sits Current only admits completely electric models. When we analyzed the new Porsche Macan Electric we already counted that it was a really interesting car. It was an effective car, a brute force and a surprising curve step for its height and size. But he had a but: That car had a V6 gasoline engine before. And convince who enters the world Porsche that now that engine is electric … is very complicated. The basic problem for Electric Deportivo is that cars are much more than numbers. In social networks it is repeated as a mantra that “Who knows how to handle an Excel buys an electric car”. And yes, it’s true If you are looking for a “affordable” car for day to daywith a lower expense in “fuel”, a savings in maintenance over the years, tax benefits in taxes … But none of that is taken into account when one buys a central motor biplaza. That is why a Mazda MX-5 continues to transmit sensations that no other car transmits with just over 100 hp. That driver profile values ​​the sound of the car, the thrust when it goes up or the touch of a manual gearbox. Yes, a quartz clock is usually more precise than automatic but the buyer values ​​the “artisanal” work under the sphere. Yes, a digital camera is more versatile and easy to use than an analog but the Feeling To load the reel and “feel” the mechanics in the hands goes far beyond the megapixels. These cars are mere whim toys And, as such, they do not attend to rational factors. You can talk about numbers but that is only the continent, not the content. Given this diatribe, the brands that are indissoluble of this driving experience have it hard complicated. Especially those more “earthly.” Ferrari either Lamborghini It has a higher bandwidth to transfer to its customers the possible fines that reach it in the future, Porsche does not have so much room to transfer this cost to the customers. Especially in the most “affordable” models. That is why a two -speed future has been raised. It is no accident that Combustion models of the Porsche 718 are identified with the top range versions. That will help sell the most expensive versions because they will deliver a inaccessible driving experience for the vast majority of drivers. But, it will even be relatively inaccessible even for those who can buy a Porsche. This future Porsche 718 gives the company air. As they explain in The cars.net podcast Joan Dalmau and Juan Carlos Grande, companies have made efforts to advance a solid range against a horizon in 2035 without combustion engines. But they need to continue earning money and in Europe the client has not embraced the electric car at the expected rhythm. In this business niche, problems are even more serious because, as we said, rationality is … Read more

The 96,000 positions that 2% of GDP in defense aspire to create

by

A few months ago, Spain He promised to increase your investment in defense to 2% of GDP. According to data of the Industrial and Technological Plan for the Security and Defense presented by the Government, that effort implies mobilizing 10,471 million euros in 2025 and take a big step and place at the level of commitments assumed with NATO, but without touching social spending or increasing taxes. These investments in the defense industry, beyond moral or political debates, can be an opportunity to An impulse to industry national, directly affecting the reactivation of factories and companies that for years have been references in technology and production. More qualified employment. The estimates, both of the Government and the different sectoral employers, indicate that, between direct and indirect jobs, 96,000 new jobs such as sectors such as aeronautics, robotics, programming and manufacturing will be created. This change not only It implies more workbut also an investment in continuous training and new opportunities for young people seeking to join the labor market. Specialties such as telecommunications engineering, aeronautics, electronics or cybersecurity experts are between The most wanted profiles In this sector, but also specialized profiles in the manufacture of weapons such as welding, assembly specialists or sheet experts who leave the different degrees of FP. Chords to the qualification. This requirement of highly qualified personnel is also collected in the wages that this sector offers. According to KPMG data published by Fifodiesthe average salary of the employees of the defense sector are 85% higher than the Spanish average, which stood at 25,896 euros per year. This implies that, on average, the qualified employees of this sector would be charging salaries of 47,907 euros per year. Most of these well -paid jobs have occurred in the aeronautical subsector, followed by the Naval, which are the ones that have grown the most In recent years and lead sales figures by monopolizing 74.5% of the total sector billing. A booming sector. The defense industry, together with aeronautics and security, is living a moment of great impulse in which, given The technological pressure that we are seeing in conflicts Like Ukrainean important effort is being made in R&D. That implies more research and Capture employees with high qualification. According to data of Aesmide (Association of Contractor Companies with Public Administrations), in 2023, the defense -related sectors reached a turnover of 13.9 billion euros, of which 1.2 billion were to the aerospace sectorwhich registered a reinvestment in R & D+I of 15.5% of its turnover, according to The annual report De TEDAE (Spanish Association of Technology Companies for Defense, Security, Aeronautics and Space (TEDAE). Within this figure, defense and security they contributed more than 8,000 million, and the impact on employment was 115,000 direct jobs and 95,000 indirects distributed in different parts of the country, with Madrid, Andalusia and the Basque Country in the head. The opportunities are not only in Spain. However, Spanish companies They are not the only that have been launched to the qualified talent hunt: the increase in defense spending has been activated throughout the continent up to 30%, So, according toor published by The confidentialthe whole sector in Europe will compete for capturing that talent. That battle for talent has made educational initiatives oriented to train new professionals that nourish the demand for labor that this sector will live in the coming years. Spanish giants wake up. The spin of Spain towards a greater investment in defense is promoting reference companies in the sector such as Indra and Navantia to expand their templates to respond to new demands. The steel industry, key to the manufacture and maintenance of military equipment, is also reactivating and plans to generate thousands of indirect jobs thanks to the increase in demand for the production of pieces and systems. Last July, Indra announced Its intention to incorporate 2,400 new employees into their defense divisions. 65% of these places would be destined for experienced personnel in the sector, while 35% of vacancies were reserved for young talent. For its part, Navantia has begun to incorporate new personnel with 45 new vacancies for its chopped Puerto Real in Cádiz, before the increase in orders for orders new patrolmen for the army.

Nitazenos have returned to worsen everything

by

Fentanyl has been the main protagonist of the “opioid epidemic“That for decades affects the United States and whose echoes have already been noticed in other countries. However, other drugs are also flourishing in the middle of a crisis that does not seem to send. A “new” risk. An American researchers group has caught attention about the risk involved in nitazenos in the context of this opioid crisis. According to the equipment, these compounds are much more powerful than drugs such as fentanyl and can also go unnoticed in Tests common, what could be contributing to the “emerging” character of this drug described by the group. Nitazenos are an opioid category created in the 1950sbut never approved for pharmacological use. “For patients, especially those with opioid use disorder or those exposed to illegal substances, nitazenos pose a serious threat would be often hidden,” ” pointed in a press release Shravani Durbhakula, co -author of the study. “Since these drugs do not appear in routine toxicology exams, sanitary could ignore a critical piece in diagnosis during overdose treatment. Patients can also neccess higher or repeated doses of naloxin to reverse their effects.” At least since 2019. According to The team stands outbetween 2019 and 2023, the Toxicological Monitoring System of the North American State of Tennessee, TN Sudors (Tennessee State an animal Drug Overdose Reporting System), detected this substance in 92 deaths due to overdose. In the 92 deaths registered in the state of Tennessee, the Nitazenos were found in conjunction with other substances, generally fentanyl or methamphetamine. This suggests that many of the people who consume the substance do so without even knowing that they are doing it, having used as adulterants. Rapid expansion. The study of these substances has led the team to alert about their “rapid expansion In the illicit market. ”The difficulty when detecting nitazenos, which may appear in different formats, is an added problem when treating overdose caused by these substances. The team’s work has been accepted for publication in the magazine Pain Medicinealthough for now your previous manuscript can be consulted. Never tested. More than half a century ago we know the Nitazenos but after their development they were never approved for medical use, they were not even clinically studied properly, the equipment recalls. Studying them could now help us better understand their effects, especially in the long term. It could also help us better understand how to respond to them, for example through naloxone, the drug usually used to avoid opioid overdose. They also highlight the role of other strategies, especially education, as well as the introduction of tests that are able to detect this substance quickly. Fighting this “emergency in public health” requires collaboration between health personnel, security forces and community organizations that can implement damage reduction strategies, Durbhakula comments.

There are 225 hours from Oktoberfest, but only 222 beer. The remaining three hours are an agonizing wait for Germany

by

September 20 was the largest public festival pistolt. Held in Theresienwiese, Munich, all in The oktoberfest is hyperbolicand the liters of alcohol and the size of the beers that are going to be dispatched will not be less. However, few moments better define those party desires As I wait that has taken place before the start of this Bacchanalia German that will total 225 hours. It’s just three hours, 180 minutes, but for most they are an eternity. The ritual wait. There is something almost liturgical in those first hours without beer from the Oktoberfest, a collective voltage Remembering the early morning prior to a great family party, when the last details are refined and the house seems to contain your breathing. In Munich, in the Prado de Theresienwiese, that pause is Puebla de Pretzels, soft drinks and board games, and thousands of crowded bodies that have run, camped or paid by a hole to ensure a place under the canvases of the great lying. The ceremony It is simple and strict: The doors open at nine, the enclosure is filled with expectation and tiredness in equal parts, and it is not until the mayor wields the shooter and nailed the first tap at twelve o’clock when the crowd exhales and the drink, literally and symbolically, begins to flow. Those minutes (three exact hours In which beer is still promise) they distil a delicious anxiety, attendees occupy their place not because of the drink itself, but because of the experience that the jug makes possible: band music, dance on tables, the conversation that becomes collective anthem. The social mechanics of the first third. The history I remembered this weekend The New York Times on the occasion of the start of the massive festival. The waiting ritual also reveals a unwritten economy and a complex social choreography: groups that keep hours in the tail, young people who transform their patience into income selling accesses, families that play cards to spend time and waitresses who, before becoming Athletes Of the napkin and the jug, they are the guardians of that temporal border between emotion and ethyl catharsis. The seats within the historical tents They rarely reserve For the general public. Most are first arrivals, and competition for a good table can involve entire nights on the street. Inside, stories are shared, instant fellowship networks are woven, it is purchased A great pretzel To simulate composure and You drink prosecco In somewhat shy sips that are, in reality, the prologue. And when the countdown reaches its end, the explosion It is ordered ” of Festbier On the wooden tables. The Oktoberfest numbers. The truth is that the Oktoberfest is not just a party: it is An economic engine and a cultural scenario that moves millions of visitors. The price of a jug It may seem high For those who measure it in liters and cents, but the real value of the experience combines tradition, gastronomy and show. Young people who repeat the visit year after year are part of a generation that sees at the festival A seasonal rite: A place to measure resistance and find community. At the same time, demand Create microeconomies: Plazas Belings In the row, improvised services, street vendors that capitalize on the wait with pins or memories and the hotel industry that collapses and reconstructs around the dates. The emotional and physical cost also weighs: the posterior euphoria is accompanied by fatigue and the inevitable account count and, of course, hangover. Rituals and practices. The tentseach with Your personality and clientele (The historical ones where tradition weighs, preferred by young people, which attract everyone …) are microcosm with their own codes. There it is sung, dance on the tables, gigantic bread is shared and liters are consumed in a choreography that requires skill: measured gestures not to overwhelm the jug, deployment of synchronized toasts, greetings that cross languages. The role of the waitresses is central; As we said, they are the invisible army that maintains the rhythm, joining physical strength and memory of usual faces. And that First “O’Zapft is!” (It is already open!) Not only frees beer, releases social permissiveness: for a few hours, the unwritten rule of the decorum softens and the city is allowed to dance on tables with the solemnity of a carnival. Youth, businesses and limits. As in every great local event, he is accompanied by the same endemic evils: young people who monetize their patience, resellers that make early entrance into business, and a tension between the tourist who wants the rite and the place that lives it as a mass consumption. If you want, the phenomenon remembers how traditions, when They become globalThey acquire New layers: they become show, they are marketed and sometimes They disfigure. However, they also guarantee a continuity: the people who return every year, the families that transmit outfits and songs, the employees who see their most intense season in October. It is a fragile balance between authenticity and the fair, between cultural heritage and global market. Euphoria and memory. Oktoberfest Live from that transition (from tense calm to the runaway euphoria), and in that march it may summarize its charm: it is not the intake itself that defines the event, but the social fabric that is assembled Around waiting. It is the collective experience where the expected gesture of the mayor, the first tap and the first jar make of catalysts of a temporary communion. Sensation of sharing something that transcends the glass and stays like memory. And while some counting liters, others keep anecdotes, small evidence that a festival can be simultaneously industry, tradition and catharsis, although yes, always starting (as every year) with the same expectant calm of three hours that announces, inevitable, beers.

China has built a space empire in 30 years after being expelled from ISS. Your revenge is about to complete

by

If the space race of the last century was decided on the moon, that of this century could be a few years after its final act. The space is again the great theater where the two greatest economies in the world demonstrate their technological muscle, and China He has been preparing a master function to close your arc of redemption. A little paint in the face. This story has a clear origin: 1994. That year, China requested to join the International Space Station program with the other partners, But the United States vetoed its entrancearguing that the Asian country was not trustworthy. China developed its own manned space program, but in 2011, the United States Wolf amendment was a second blow, prohibiting NASA from any type of cooperation with Chinese counterparts. In parallel, China suffered the consequences of a world increasingly dependent on navigation satellites. In 1993 he had a first affront when the United States deliberately turned off GPS satellites on the Chinese ship Yinhe, leaving it drifting for 33 days. In 1996, a new blackout made the GPS guidance of a Chinese missile fail. In 2003, China invested 230 million euros to join the Galilean satellite navigation system of the European Union, but also ended up being expelled from this project. Of isolated to self -sufficient. Instead, China started a long -term plan to build, piece by piece, everything they had denied. In 1999 he launched the Shenzhou ship 1. In 2003, it became the third country, after the Soviet Union and the United States, to independently send a man to space: Yang Liwei aboard the Shenzhou 5. In 2007, China undertaked at the same time its lunar career and its own navigation network. The Chang’e 1 probe began to orbit the moon, and the Beidou-1 satellite meant the first stone of an alternative system to the American GPS. Similarly, in 2011 he launched Tiangong-1, the embryo of what would be his future space station. In 2022 he was no longer interested in ISS: China put the Tiangong Space Stationthat since then It is permanently inhabited. Even in areas such as planetary defense, China is replicating and improving Western missions. After the success of NASA’s dart mission, will launch its own mission to divert an asteroidwith a key improvement: a second ship that will observe the impact in real time and measure the live result. The first milestones. China’s space exploits have been growing in complexity. In 2020, the Chang’e 5 probe brought samples of the visible face of the moon for the first time in 44 years, and of a geologically younger area than the samples of the Apollo missions, so that They also interested NASAdespite the law that prevents them from collaborating. It was not until 2024, with the Chang’e-6 mission, which China achieved an impressive unpublished feat: bring to Earth The first samples of the hidden face of the moona tremendous effect in the new space race that now seeks to repeat on Mars, going for the first soil samples of the red planet. While NASA’s Mars Sample Return mission is in a limbo, China plans to launch its Tianwen-3 probe in 2028 and bring samples of Mars in 2031, foreseeably advanceing NASA. He could do it alone, but in a brilliant geopolitical movement, he has invited agencies around the world to join with their own instruments, which leaves the United States in an awkward position. Sorpasso in sight. Beyond the robotic missions, the most important milestones at stake are the missions manned to the moon. While the NASA Artemis program accumulates numerous delays and cost overruns, China advances firmly towards its objectives of stepping on the moon and establishing a lunar base. NASA has already arrived six times to the surface of the moon between 1969 and 1972, but the new lunar race does not go to put a flag, but to control resources. The one who arrives first and establishes a base in the South Lunar Pole It will have a key advantage to select areas with ice water and establish the communication protocols of the cislunar space. Nervousness in Washington. The United States reaction to China’s spatial advances show that the Sorpasso It is possible. The Wolf amendment has fallen short, and now NASA has hardened its position, prohibiting Chinese citizens Access to all its facilities, programs and even zoom meetings. The agency alleges reasons for “cybersecurity.” At the same time, NASA’s acting administrator, Sean Duffy, has adopted A belligerent rhetoric against China: “We are in a second space race. We will win the Chinese on the moon.” You can intuit the fear of a defeat, and one of the strategic movements of the United States to avoid it will be to install a nuclear reactor on the moon before China does, to be able to declare an “exclusion zone”, de facto controlling the most valuable areas. In 30 years, China has gone from being a spatial outcome to an undisputed leader who marks the rhythm in the exploration of the 21st century. The veto that had to stop her became the fuel of her ambition. His space empire is no longer a promise; It is a reality that orbits our heads and perches on other worlds. Revenge, patient and meticulous, is already served. Image | Xinhua In Xataka | While NASA faces the cancellation of 41 missions, China is making authentic virguerías in space

In 2022 Kenn Dahl car insurance raised him 21%. He had not had any incident with his Chevrolet Bolt, so he asked his insurance agent and he gave him a advice: look at your lexisnexis report. This company based in New York is a gigantic data broker that has a division that is responsible for Collect information about drivers and then supplies it to insurance companies. And that’s where Mr. Dahl decided Ask for your report to the company, which was obliged to give it to it due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Your car is cool When he received it, Mr. Dahl was amazed. That 258 -page report had more than 130 pages dedicated to each moment in which he or his wife had driven the car in the previous six months. Included details of 640 journeys with their start and end hours, the distance conducted or Even accelerons and brakes. The only thing that did not reveal was the specific places from and where it had gone. Kia Connect is a service that informs the driver of his “driver score” to (theoretically) offer custom automobile insurance. The system does not stop collecting data on your driving. As explained in The New York Times, more and more manufacturers make use of all kinds of sensors and systems that collect information about drivers, and do so without their express knowledge and, of course, without their consent. And modern cars can even have systems that “describe” the driving of who takes them, something that allows manufacturers to collect that data … and sell them. There are more users who have noticed this type of Massive collection of data in your cars. In those of General Motors the Smart Driver onstar system is used that users can deactivate, as several drivers who commented on the situation years ago In Reddit either In a forum Dedicated to “Chevy” Bolt. Other manufacturers make use of this type of systems and activate them by default, such as the Kia Connect system From the KIA aimed at obtaining a “score” that helps your car insurance to adjust to your way of driving and reward the most reliable drivers according to the data collected. In Peugeot support forums even There is talk of the “Private Mode” of driving that when activated “prevents data and/or the position of the vehicle.” But as they also point out in that information, if one deactivates it, it stops accessing functions such as connected navigation, remote control or Mirror Screen function. According to a study of 2023 of the Mozilla Foundation, 88% of the brands analyzed by them inferred additional data from the information they collected. And among those inferred data, something disturbing: they could confirm a profile of personal beliefs and even sexual activity. Not only that: in this study 19 of the companies analyzed (76%) They sold those personal data to other companies. The good thing about the Tesla is that they have cameras. The bad, too The suspicions that can emerge in this type of data collection can go even further, especially if we remember What happened to the Tesla. Between 2019 and 2022 groups of employees of Tesla They privately shared videos and images taken with the cameras of customer cars. In some of those videos, Tesla customers had been captured in pregnant situations. For example, an ex -employed from the company could see the video of a completely naked man approaching one of those cars. In others, even accidents such as a Tesla who ran over a bike child who was fired. That video, said one of the former employees in the Reuters reportspread through those internal networks “like gunpowder.” The Tesla are only One more example of that massive data collection. According to The Guardianthe sensors and cameras of the car get location data – although Tesla does not store them unless they are of an accident – habits and type of driving (speeds, brakes, accelerons), and other data. For example, diagnostic information and car use and data related to infotainment systems such as navigation history or voice commands used. It is possible despite disable the function that transfers part of that information to the Tesla servers, but in doing so we can also lose some functions of the vehicle. The European Data Protection Committee published in 2021 Their guidelines on the processing of personal data in this environment, and according to said regulations manufacturers must minimize data collection and prioritize their local treatment. In addition, control tools that allow you to exercise access, rectification and suppression rights are urged. The requirements are there, but at the moment its compliance seems as little erratic. In Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) they recently provided tips when consulting What data your car has and how to avoid That they are shared, but of course the situation could be aggravated, especially considering that the renewal of the mobile park causes that more and more users have cars with all these options … and voracity when it comes to collecting data.
