That another tsunami reaches the coasts of Japan

by

The west of the Pacific has witnessed this morning of a great earthquake with epicenter off the coasts of the Kamchatka Peninsula. While for now there have been no victims, numerous areas of the Pacific coast They have activated alerts for the risk of tsunami. Among them, the densely populated coasts of Japan, where alert can bring memories of what lived in 2011. The earthquake. The earthquake, of magnitude 8.8occurred around 11:25 at local time, or 1:25, Spanish peninsular time (23:25 UTC). After the central event there have been a series of replicas in the area, one of which It has reached magnitude 6.9. The last replica detected by the United States Geological Service (USGS) has occurred at 12:13, Spanish time (22:13 local time), and has been a movement with magnitude 5.2. The event also had its precedents: the area had registered a high seismicity in the previous 10 days. A few hours earlier, at 4:59 PM, Spanish peninsular time (02:59 local time), A movement was recorded of magnitude 4.8 in the coastal region. The earthquake and its replicas have occur More than 180,000 inhabitants) and capital of the administrative region in which the Peninsula is located. Magnitude 8.8. Today’s has been the largest earthquake recorded from the earthquake Magnitude 9 which caused in 2011 a tsunami that swept part of the east coast of Japan. There is one Inverse relationship between the magnitude of an earthquake and the probability of being such an event. For example, the earthquakes of magnitude 8 occur, on average, once a year, while in an average year we can expect that some 1,500 earthquakes of magnitude 5 will occur globally. We do not know exactly how much energy the event has released, But based on USGS data We can estimate that it could be the equivalent of more than 7 billion tons of TNT. A new tsunami? The earthquake has activated alarms throughout the Pacific coast but especially in neighboring Japan. The coast of the Asian country is still under different levels of alert by Tsunami: about two million people have been calls to evacuate your residence or work areas due to risk which implies sea level rise. According to The local media reports Japan Timestowards the end of the afternoon waves of up to 1.3 meters had been recorded, but the country is still on alert since the waves can reach three meters. This implies an important risk for people, goods and infrastructure, but is far from the 40 meters of tsunami that swept the country’s coast in 2011. Another reassuring factor is that the distance from the earthquake has given the authorities time to react and avoid major problems. The Fire Ring. Both the earthquake and tsunami of 2011 and today have occurred in The so -called “Fire Ring”a region of high seismic activity that surrounds the Pacific Ocean. This is a meeting region between the Pacific tectonic plate and the surrounding plates. Throughout this border region there are numerous failures in which this meeting is particularly dynamic, causing high seismicity and high volcanism. An active peninsula. According to Explain the USGSin the area where the match has occurred, the peaceful plaque moves to the west-northwest with respect to the American plate with a speed of about 80 mm per year. Fruit of the high seismicity of this environment, the Kamchatca Peninsula has an abundant amount of volcanoes. Volcanoes that, located in a remote and relatively depopulated area, make up a natural place whose uniqueness led Unesco to add them to your list of the World Heritage.

Tesla and Chinese brands are ahead

by

Norway is the country where more electric cars are bought worldwide. If we obviously take into account its market share since in Europe countries such as Germany passes over it in terms of volume. He Government thrust It has been such that The electric car has settled with much as the best selling. In June 2025their sales reached more than 96% share And of the almost 19,000 units sold during that month, only 577 units had combustion engines. And, of them, just over a hundred had no electrification. Aware of the importance of supporting possible buyers, the Norway Auto Club It has been doing real autonomy tests to the most relevant electric cars and those that are launched. These are the results of the last exam. Tesla and China at the head The Norway Auto Club performs two tests a year, one in winter and one in summer. This time, 27 vehicles have been submitted to the exam and the general data obtained (which can be seen in this link) They have been good: 15 of them have overcome autonomy with WLTP cycle. The evidence that are done try simulate real conditions of the Norwegian average driver. They mostly run along secondary roads, with average speed of 70 km/h. Punctually, they touch the highway twice. When the car runs out of battery, they write down the number of kilometers performed. And in their tests there are two clear winners. Among those 15 cars that has achieved more autonomy above what was recorded in the WLTP cycle was the Tesla Model and, which has exceeded the approval barrier in 66 kilometers, registering 652 kilometers of real autonomy instead of the 582 expected kilometers. Among the 10 that have also added to Tesla Model 3, closing the list (+19 kilometers) but in between we find the Zeekr 7x, second with +52 kilometers, the Byd Tang, third with +42 kilometers, the mg S5, fifth with +27 kilometers, the Polestar 4 (of Chinese origin sharing chassis with zeekr and volvo) Seventh with +27 kilometers, and the Byd Sealion 7, ninth with +21 kilometers. That is, among the 10 cars that earn more autonomy Regarding the approved, two are Tesla cars and five others assemble Chinese technology. Only the Peugeot E-5008 (fourth with +28 km), the Volkswagen ID.7 GTX Tourer (Sixth with +27 km) and the BMW IX (eighth with +23 km) sneak in this list. Among the 12 that have obtained worse results losing autonomy, we find seven European or American cars. In addition, the KIA EV3, with a loss of 17 kilometers of autonomy with respect to what was marked by WLTP, is also found in this group. In this case, only the MG Cyberster (-14 km), the Hongqi EHS7 (-16 km), the Polestar 3 (-25 km) and the Volvo Ex90 (-32 km) are found in this group. Interestingly, the car that has lost the most autonomy is the Lucid Air, a luxury berlina that wants to shade the Tesla Model S, with a fall of 131 kilometers in front of what was expected by WLTP. However, it is the car that has traveled more kilometers between loads, covering 829 kilometers of the pull. The next most capable model was Tesla Model 3, with 721 real kilometers. The BMW IX and its 691 kilometers covered closes the podium. Photo | Norway Auto Club In Xataka | In 2017 Norway, it was proposed that 100% of the cars sold in 2025 were electric. Is about to get it

Tsunami’s alert is leading people to get on the roofs of Japan. It is a good idea, but only at the beginning

by

A Magnitude earthquake 8.8 that, according to experts, it could be the largest registered sixth, hit the northern Pacific In front of Russia at dawn on Wednesday, which caused Tsunami alerts and evacuations in Hawaii, Alaska, California and Japan, and left millions of people anxiously waiting anxiously waves that, according to meteorologists, could reach 3 meters in some places. In fact, in Japan there are already people AGOLPADA on the roofs. A good idea, at first. Causes and natures. Tsunamis are phenomena of great destructive power that, in most cases, originates after An underwater earthquakewhen an abrupt movement of tectonic plates displaces huge volumes of water and generates waves that spread in all directions such as waves in a pond. Although not all coastal earthquakes produce tsunamis, those that manage to be generated may have devastating consequences in nearby areas and, sometimes, sometimes travel thousands of kilometers At the speed of a commercial plane, wreaking havoc in places far from the epicenter, as it is. All these guidelines are occurring after The earthquake in Russia. Coming. In an open sea they can go unnoticed for a ship, but when approaching the coast, the waves increase its height and acquire destructive potential. In addition to earthquakes, tsunamis can be triggered by volcanic eruptions or, more rarely, due to weather alterations that modify atmospheric pressure, giving rise to the so -called meteotsunamis, such as the one in 1954 mortally surprised to bathers In Lake Michigan. Early forecast and detection. Although earthquakes They cannot be predictedimmediate monitoring after its occurrence allows to assess whether there is a risk of tsunami. For this, a global network of underwater sensors is used that detect minimal pressure variations, together with computer models capable of projecting the possible route and strength of the waves. In this way, governments and alert centers activate emergency systems that include sirens, radio, television or official applications. Approximately 80% of tsunamis They are generated in the Pacific Ocean, particularly in the call Fire beltwhile the Atlantic and the Caribbean represent just 10%. In the United States, although rare, the west coast is the most vulnerable: History records mortal episodes as The 1946 tsunamicaused by an earthquake in the Aleutian Islands, which ended the lives of five people in Alaska and about 160 in Hawaii. Preventive preparation and measures. The International organizations insist on the importance of Citizen preparation. The main thing: It is recommended to know the community evacuation plans and practice the planned routes, as well as identify the flood areas by tsunamis in each locality. It is also advisable to have multiple ways To receive emergency alerts, either through NOAA radios, official applications or local warning systems. In words of specialistseach person must “know their threat”, that is, be aware of whether their place of residence is within a risk area. How to act before an imminent alert. Thus we reach the current situation. If an earthquake occurs, the first thing is shock: bend down, cover under a solid table or object and stay in position until the movement ceases. Then, if there is a risk of tsunami, the instructions of the authorities must be obeyed and moved as quickly as possible to High and remote areas of the sea. However, experience shows that waiting for an official notice It can be lethalrecognizing natural signals can save lives. Namely: a tremor so strong that prevents standing, a rumble from the ocean or a sudden and unusual decline in water on the coast. It should be remembered that not all tsunamis begin with that setback: on many occasions, the first wave that arrives is directly the crestwithout prior notice. In such circumstances, the only safe option is the immediate self -evacuationsince even a couple of minutes of delay can make the difference between life and death. And get on a roof? The images that are being making viral With gutting people on roofs close to the coast it is a resource that can save lives in certain circumstances, but it is not the ideal option and should be understood very carefully. The main agencies Emergency management (such as NOAA, the Pacific tsunamis alert, JMA or UNESCO/COI) agree that the priority recommendation is always evacuated towards Earlier Land and as far from the possible sea. However, the same agencies recognize that when time is extremely limited or there are no safe routes available, looking for height In solid structures It can be the only viable alternative. The Japanese case. Obviously, in the case of Japan, a country with a long history of tsunamis and a high degree of preparation, many coastal cities They have built what they call “vertical evacuation structures”: reinforced concrete buildings or towers specifically designed for Resist the impact of waves of great magnitude. In fact, the JMA and local governments instruct the population to, if it is not possible An accepted strategy. After the devastating Tsunami of 2011which swept a large part of the Tōhoku region, the construction of these intensified Vertical shelters and the signaling that indicates which buildings comply with the standards to support waves up to several meters high. The “but.” The problem is that not all roofs are safe. For example, getting into a small building, poorly built or close to the coast can be even more dangerous: water can exceed the structure, weaken its foundations or drag it. Studies of the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program In the United States and UNESCO (in their guidelines) they point out that only the buildings designed or evaluated for this purpose must be considered shelters. In areas where there are no certified constructions, the safest option remains the same: move horizontally to high ground. Image | YouTube In Xataka | A tsunami devastated Sevilla 1,800 years ago.

will invest 30,000 million euros in data centers for AI

by

Europe cannot lose the train of the artificial intelligence (AI). You can’t afford it. This technology already has a very deep impact on the economy, scientific and technological capacity, and the military development of a country, and currently USA and China lead with forcefulness In this area. So far Europe seemed to settle for the wake of the two great powers they are disputing world supremacybut its strategy is about to change. And is that according to CNBC The European Union plans to invest 10,000 million euros in the construction of thirteen data centers for AI, as well as 20,000 million euros in a network of “Gigavatio Class” facilities. These latest data centers are the largest and most ambitious, and their denomination indicates that by their size they consume a lot of electricity. In fact, a gigavatio is equivalent to one billion watts, and a small city can consume this amount of energy. At the moment sixteen European countries have been interested in receiving these facilities, and, According to CNBCthe first of these large data centers will reside in Munich (Germany). Each Gigavatio class installation will cost between 3,000 and 5,000 million euros, and will bring together no less than 100,000 avant -garde gpu for AI (they will be possibly chips NVIDIA H100). All this paints very well, but raises a doubt that we cannot ignore: it is not clear how the countries involved in this plan will resolve the supply of electricity to These demanding facilities. It will cost Europe a lot to follow the rhythm of the US and China The US government led by Donald Trump is determined to lead in the field of the cost of what costs. And in principle this initiative, baptized by the new administration as ‘Stargate project’will cost 500,000 million dollars. This money will leave the coffers of the Japanese investment group SoftBank; of those of OpenAI, the creators of Chatgpt; of those of Oracle, and, finally, it will also be provided by the investment firm Emiraratí MGX. These companies will support the construction during the next four years of an advanced network of data centers that will house the high performance computing infrastructure necessary to sustain US leadership in the AI field. The spearhead of these facilities It is already being built in Texas (USA), in a town called Abilene. And it is colossal. In fact, this first data center of the ‘Stargate’ project will bring together, According to OpenAimore than two million chips for ia. The ‘Stargate’ infrastructure should be fully ready before President Trump’s current mandate expires When the US government announced to Bombo y S pay this plan left a great question open: how did he plan to solve the supply of electricity required by the new facilities? Large data centers for AI consume a lot of electricity, which has caused Some technology have opted for investing in nuclear centrals to guarantee the supply of electricity that these facilities require. At the moment this question is not completely resolved. And it is not because the ‘Stargate’ infrastructure should be completely ready before President Trump’s current mandate expires, and a new nuclear power plant can hardly come into operation in four years. Even so, Openai and Oracle They have officialized that have reached an agreement to build the necessary infrastructure to Deliver additional 4.5 GW to your data centers. Interestingly, SoftBank does not participate in the financing of this expansion, although, as I mentioned a few lines above, it does in the ‘Stargate’ project. Anyway, in this equation there is another unknown that also has a lot to say: China. “We hope that China significantly increase its investments in AI and semiconductors in response to the US domain in AI,” CBM consultancy analysts foresee. It makes sense. These two great powers are being disputed world supremacy, so it is understandable that each significant step that give one of the two Receive a more or less overwhelming answer from the other. We can be sure that 2025 will be a year even more agitated than 2024 in the geopolitical and technological fields, so we will be attentive to the steps that US and China will surely give. And Europe. Also Europe. Image | Christina Morillo More information | CNBC In Xataka | Huawei attacks Nvidia positions in China: he wants to have dominant hardware in inference processes in AI

Airbnb has just eliminated 65,000 tourist floors. The problem is that consumption has found another 55,000

by

Spain has been living for years in a free bar of tourist floors, so in May, the Ministry of Consumer He pressed a red button against Airbnband activated it in more than 65,000 floors that considered that they breached legislation. The reasons? Do not include license, include a erroneous, or lack all the necessary information. The government finally has achieved its goalalthough it has a new almost equally ambitious. Goodbye to 65,000 floors. The Ministry of Consumption led by Pablo Bustinduy has announced that Airbnb has retired the more than 65,000 illegal ads whose elimination had been demanding for months. Three resolutions had been sent from the Ministry, and They specified That “in all cases these are complete housing for tourist use, no individual room ads appear” Yes, but. After this first batch that has ended the publications outside the platform, the Consumer Analysis Unit has communicated the existence of another 54,728 illegal ads that do not have “rental registration number”, the tuition that since July 1 they need to announce and operate on platforms such as Booking or Airbnb. The government has been firm on its road map, and has announced That will not stop: “The Consumer Analysis Unit will continue working to identify and report potential illegal ads on different digital platforms specialized in the rental of tourist accommodations.” The problems for Airbnb are not over. In the absence of knowing if after the agreement with Housing Airbnb it will proceed with this new list of ads as with the more than 65,000 retired ads, the company is still immersed in problems with the Bustinduy Ministry. At the end of the year, consumption opened a sanctioning file to the company, for illicit advertising (ads without license number). It remains subject to a formal investigation that can end in an economic sanction if the infractions attributed to them are confirmed. In that case, it faces fines of up to 100,000 euros, although according to the file, it can become between 4 and 6 times higher than the money obtained with illegal practices. Justice supports government (for the moment). After requesting the elimination of the more than 65,000 ads, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid had backed twice that Airbnb withdraw with immediate effect 5,800 ads. Despite the requested precautionary measures, the company was forced to eliminate these ads, located in Andalusia, Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Valencian Community and the Basque Country. The reason for not stopping the legal procedure was that the court did not consider that there were “irreparable damages” for Airbnb. A consequence of the war to Airbnb: more expensive hotels. Barcelona has been limiting tourist floors since 2014, looking for the rental market. However, the rental price has not stopped in the city: 72% shot from that date until 2023. But also The price of hotels has risen: 8% from 2023 to 2024 and 30% since 2019. From Xataka we have contacted Airbnb to know its position on the new government application. We will update if we receive more information. Image | Kaspars Upmanis in Unspash In Xataka | Neither air conditioning nor fan: the best thing to cool in summer is a pool.

What is “carnivorous bacteria” and why Europe believes that now is the best time to take precautions

by

Many of the infectious diseases around us have a seasonal component. The flu, for example, is a thing of winter. Other infections are more dangerous in summer, such as those caused by Salmonella, or those caused by gender bacteria Vibrio. A seasonal infection. A few days ago, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) issued a statement in which it remembered that, with the arrival of summer, increases the risk of vibriosisinfections caused by the bacterial genre Vibrio. Maybe the name Vibrio It does not tell us much, but this genus contains several species of pathogenic bacteria. This genre belongs for example Vibrio Choleraethe bacteria that cause anger. Also in this genre is the so -called “carnivorous” bacteria, V. Vulnificus. Salobres waters. Bacteria of this genre usually inhabit salobres waters, waters such as river estuaries where salinity levels are intermediate, not as high as in the sea but greater than in rivers. These bacteria can be found in different geographical contexts. In its statement, for example, the ECDC indicates the presence of these bacteria in the Baltic Sea, where salinity conditions are especially favorable. The European center has A monitoring system of the risk in which the Black Sea is also indicated as the potential focus of infections. Two ways. Infections by Vibrio They can occur in two very different ways. The food route is perhaps the most common. It is generally produced through seafood specimens contaminated by the bacteria and occurs when the animal is consumed in raw or little cooked. The symptoms of this infection They are similar to those of other gastroenteritis: diarrhea, cramps, vomiting, fever or chills. The other way of infection is through wounds, and occurs When we bathe in waters contaminated by this bacterium with open wounds. These infections can lead to complications such as those given when the infection goes to our circulatory system; but also to tissue necrosis. The nickname of “carnivorous” bacteria that is assigned to the species V. Vulnificus It is because infections caused by this bacterium can cause necrotizing fasciitisthe death of infected tissues. This is not the only bacteria that causes this problem, in fact there are bacteria, like group A streptococci that we associate with this problem more frequently, so in reality the appellation can be used to refer to bacteria of very distant species. Relative risk The severity of vibriosis It depends on several factors. The most vulnerable people are those with liver problems, committed and elderly immune systems. In Europe and Spain. The last cholera epidemic in Spain occurred in the 1970s, but since then various European countries have seen outbreaks caused by this and other bacteria of the genre Vibrio. In Spain, for example we do not have to go far behind to find recent cases of vibrosis (beyond the case of cholera detected a few years ago in Madrid). According to Explain the ECDCvibriosis cases remain “relatively uncommon” in Europe. Between 2014 and 2017 there were an annual median of 126 cases, although in 2014 a more important outbreak left 445 registered cases. The heat wave registered that year can be linked to the increase in cases. In Spain, infections have also been registered, even some starring V. Vulnificus. According to experts, these types of infections are a risk that grows summer due to the increase in temperatures associated with climate change. This increase does not affect only the concentrations of this bacterium in certain waters, it also implies its geographical expansion to estuaries and seas where before its presence had not been problematic. Should we worry? ECDC warning should be seen as a reminder to extreme caution, not as a health or food alert. In summer it is convenient to increase our caution. The risk of contracting these infections is greater for different reasons: The increase in water temperature It allows these bacteria to prolish more easily, which increases their concentrations and with it the risk of infection; In addition, the mere fact of spending more time in these waters makes our exposure greater. As detailed by the ECDC, reducing the risk of these infections is partly in our hand. Avoid raw or poorly cooked seafood (especially oysters, stand out) can avoid scare. In the case of bathers, the center recommends covering open wounds, piercings or recent tattoos, avoiding the bathroom in salobres as much as possible. If the wound occurs while we are in the water, it is convenient to clean it properly and with fresh water to avoid infections.

Sell almost only electric cars

by

A look at the ten brands of best -selling electric cars in the world throws a devastating conclusion: China has no rival. However, if we had to make a list of countries where the adoption of “electric” vehicles has been an absolute success, more doubts would enter us. We know that Norway He is doing wellbut few expected the same of the nation that lives at the top of the planet: Nepal. Electric boom in the heights. I told this week The New York Times. In the midst of road chaos of Katmandúwhere motorcycles, buses and taxis fill the narrow streets with noise and smoke, a silent revolution is underway and reaches all the corners of the country: electric vehicles already They represent 76% of all passenger cars sold in Nepal and about half of light commercial vehicles. Just five years ago, that figure was practically non -existent. The country has thus become one of the world leaders for adoption of electric cars, only surpassed by cases Like NorwaySingapore or Ethiopia, and far ahead of the most developed economies, where the global average quota Round 20%. This vertiginous change is the result of a Combination of factors: State subsidies policies, the use of the abundance of hydroelectric energy and the proximity of China, the greater producer Electric World. Policies and clean energy as an engine. Nepal’s bet for electricity did not arise from nothing. After the 2015 border crisis With India, which suffocated the import of oil, the government decided to strengthen energy security through Great investments in hydroelectric dams and transmission networks. This managed to eradicate chronic blackouts and offer cheap and non -polluting energy. The following logic was to transfer that resource to transport. To reduce electric vehicles in a country with a GDP per capita of just $ 1,400the Executive reduced import taxes to A maximum of 40%compared to 180% applied to combustion cars. In addition, one promoted one Recharge infrastructure When installing 62 state stations and allow hotels and restaurants to add thousands more thanks to almost null tariffs and subsidized electricity. He result: Repositing a gasoline car cost fifteen more than loading an electric one, creating an immediate economic incentive. A load station in Nepal The Chinese impulse. The electrical revolution could not be explained without the China’s thrust. Brands like ByD broke into Nepal With adapted models to the mountainous roads and prices that left behind Indian competition. In a few years, distributors Like Yamuna Shrestha They went from being marginal visionary to manage dozens of dealers and thousands of sales. Consumers, tempted by high performance cars at half -priced than a tesla, They launched the purchasewhile traditional brands such as Suzuki or Tata are forced to electrify their catalog or lose the market. He Times told examples Of individuals, such as a former policeman who acquired an electric minibus to operate a line between Katmandú and Janakpur, discovering that they can cover loans and obtain stable profits in less than five years, despite the still limited load network. Risks of setback and doubts. Success, however, is not guaranteed. The reason? Nepal has had three prime ministers in five years and each change of government Alterate priorities. The Central Bank recently doubled the Initial payment required For the purchase of an electric, the State begins to raise tariffs to compensate for the loss of fossil fuel income and there is still no national battery recycling plan. The fear that defective vehicles of minor Chinese brands damage confidence in the sector also worry about dealerships, who ask for Quality certifications independent. For Some analystseverything will depend on the policy maintaining the stability of the incentives and a long -term vision is consolidated. The challenge of public transport. However, and despite progress in private cars, most Nepali It does not have a car and depends on motorcycles and polluting buses. The electrification of this segment is key if the country wants to clean the air of its cities. The State has acquired 41 electric buses For the public company Sajha Yatayat, but experts estimate that they would be necessary at least 800 to offer a real alternative to individual vehicles. China already offered to donate 100 more units, in a movement that combines diplomacy and market, and that Nepal accepts without qualms. However, low public transport prices (about 36 cents for longer journeys) make it difficult to finance large fleets. The solution would go through a metropolitan authority that reorganizes traffic and prioritizes collective transport, although its creation continues blocked by political disputes. Future under construction. In short, Nepal has become a very unexpected Global Laboratory Of electric transition, demonstrating that a developing country, with successful policies and clean energy available, can advance faster than powers. The challenge is possibly sustaining the impulse in a context of political and economic fragility, while extending electrification beyond private cars towards mass transport and motorcycles. As A former director affirmed From Sajha Yatayat, the Katmandu Valley is “waiting for someone to turn the key.” If that key remains firm, in just five years Nepal could completely transform urban mobility and become a Electrification Model For the developing world.
