These are the most loved and hated millionaires, explained in a graphic

by

The most famous billionaires are not just business leaders, they have also become In media figures. Names that resonate in all homes and even influence In the political sphere. But there is something that clearly differentiates them: not all of them enjoy the sympathy of 99% of the world population that is not millionaire. While some generate admiration and respectothers generate very obvious opinions and levels of distrust and rejection. A survey Made by Reuters and Ipsos He asked 4415 American adults his opinion about some of the most outstanding millionaires of the Forbes Millionaires List. Some showed favorable opinions about them, others clearly unfavorable and others simply shrug because they had no idea who those gentlemen were. The portal Visualcapitalist He has collected all this data and has represented them in a much more enlightening graph that shows that, Being rich and famous does not guarantee to be popular Among your neighbors and countrymen. Warren Buffett and Bill Gates: Population favorites The Nonagenarian Inverter Warren Buffett, known as the “Oracle of Omaha”, leads the list of billionaires with greater popularity In the United States. His Austera and close personalityhas made 52% of the interviewees have a favorable opinion about the veteran millionaire. Only 26% of those who recognized him showed a negative opinion about him, and 18% recognized not knowing who that person was, despite having the fifth greatest fortune in the world. Buffett has been able to win the support of society Thanks to your simple lifestyle, your responsible investment approach and your commitment to philanthropy. Despite its imposing fortune of 165 billion dollars, its image transmits humility and common sensewhich makes it a reference well seen by many. For its part, Bill Gates is the great surprise of the table, occupying second place in terms of popularity, with 49% positive opinions. This perception has improved significantly from Gates left Microsoft’s direction And he put all his endeavor in philanthropy Through the Gates Foundation. However, with 43% of unfavorable opinions, its rejection index remains elevated. Gates has managed to position himself as a leader who seeks global solutions for problems Like public health and Climate changebut those causes have also put him in the spotlight of conspiracy theories The most diverse. That has made Microsoft the founder loved and hated almost in equal parts. For better or worse, Gates is one of the most popular millionaires in the world. Only 5% of the interviewees claimed not to know who that man was who claimed to have a assets of 108,000 million dollars. Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos: Famous, but hated Despite being in the top 3 ofThe greatest fortunes in the world According to the Forbes list, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg face the challenge of being widely recognized, but very little dear. You can’t have everything. Elon Musk, with a fortune of 357,000 million dollars, has 39% favorable opinions. However, your participation in the Government Efficiency Department (Doge), in charge of saying goodbye hundreds of thousands of federal officials have won all A animated wave that has left him with 55% of unfavorable opinions. However, Musk is not the only one has not managed to connect With public opinion. Jeff Bezos also records 55% of unfavorable opinions in the survey. Unlike Musk, Bezos only awakens sympathies between 29% of respondents. The rest of the interviewees missing to complete 100% of the bar of Bezos sympathies and hatred I simply did not know who it was, although most likely they have ever bought in their online store or seen a series on their video platform. In the case of Mark Zuckerberg, the figures are not encouraging. Despite having experienced A complete image change To tune with the rest of the members of his generation, the founder of Facebook stands as the billionaire with the highest percentage of rejection of the list. His image has been damaged by scandals related to Users privacy and the Influence of social networks In society, which has made its popularity fall leaving 64% of unfavorable opinions. Definitely, Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like. Millionaires that neither fu nor fa Despite being key figures in the technological world, billionaires such as Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft ex-care; Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle; And the co -founders of Google, Larry Page and Serguéi Brin, are not as recognized by the general public as Elon Musk or Bill Gates. In fact, 65% of respondents He doesn’t know Steve Ballmerwhile Page and Brin They could walk quietly through a shopping center and 69% and 72% respectively of the people with whom they were crossed would not recognize them. However, among those who do recognize them, the perception is very divided. For example, Larry Ellison has only 13% of favorable opinions, while Steve Ballmer has a modest 16%. It is probably because they have not seen their Microsoft marketing campaigns in the 90s. This contrast shows that, although They founded influential companies And their contributions have revolutionized entire sectors, the lack of media exposure and polarization in public opinion makes them less relevant characters at the popular level. Reuters data reveal that the perception that Americans have about their richest billionaires not only depends on the size of their fortunes or that of their companies, but also measured by their personal decisions. On the other hand, those who maintain a low profile, such as Larry Page, Serguéi Brin and Larry Ellison, seem to live in a limbo of popularity, in which they can enjoy all the Advantages of being centimillonario, Without the inconveniences of being so recognizable like Elon Musk or Bill Gates.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on April 5

by

Saturday … restriction day. It could be a quiet day and without worries (and in fact it is for some) but it is also a day of taking a look at restrictions and being very attentive to what we have ahead. Because? Because the Sabatino does not circulate today. As you know, the program today does not circulate is devised by the CDMX Ministry of Environment (Sedema) with the aim of improving the quality of the air we breathe. As? Reducing the volume of cars that circulates through the streets. Less cars, less pollution. It is a simple formula that has its implications in the atmosphere. Therefore, although painful, it is a measure that is applied 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 Having this clear and how you can see in the superior image, the does not circulate today can leave the door open to some doubts. And most of the days we are very clear how to act but what happens on Saturdays? Every day (also on Saturdays) the restrictions of today do not circulate are applied taking into account the hologram of each car and the last number of its plate. Depending on whether they are pairs or odd, they will have to rest on Saturdays. That, added to the hologram, leaves us the following three types of cars: 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. So how can we avoid falling into the fines of today does not circulate sabbatino? Very simple, leaving the car at home when it touches. But you will wonder what “when it touches you.” That is what we are going to detail. Cars with Hologram 2 have to always stay at home. There is no doubt here. They are the most polluting cars and, therefore, they cannot be moved during the hours that are applied today does not circulate. On the contrary, cars with hologram 0 and 00 can circulate without problems. In this case they are cars considered as less polluting and, therefore, they can move with total freedom. Doubts can arrive with hologram 1. In that case, restrictions are rotary. The first weekend of the month, cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number rest. Next week are cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in number Par rest. And thus, week by week it is rotating. Therefore, this Saturday, April 5, 2025will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those who will have to leave their cars at home. Despite this, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those 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 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.

In his obsession to end the noisy motorcycles, the EU has just knew the coup of grace

by

The sound of motorcycles has no midpoint: either it puts your nerves or your hair bristles every time you hear it. The second group is quite a niche and, in general, noisy motorcycles are a problem within the urban environment, so the European Union has decided to end them forever. Changes. EC 92.03 regulations legalizes a historical change that will affect, and much, both to the motorcycle industry As to the auxiliary industry of its star complement, the exhaust pipes. From now on, any motorcycle manufactured with the new anti -antaminant regulations will not be able to extract the DB Killer. What is the DB Killer. The most changed accessory on motorcycles is the exhaust pipe. In some cases to earn an extra CV, and mostly to improve the sound of the motorcycle. As its name indicates, the DB Killer is the internal silencer of the exhaust tube, normally screwed. This causes escape gases to pass through a narrower and more perforated channel, reducing the volume. In most cases, the escapes of the auxiliary industry have a removable dB, allowing to increase the sound of the motorcycle in a very simple way in minutes. What the EU says about him. The new EC 92.03 regulation says goodbye completely to the DB Killer. Exhaust systems manufacturers must comply with this new legislation, and may not manufacture approved escapes that allow the silencer to be extracted. These measures apply to street motorcycles, so manufacturers who want to sell escapes that comply with Euro regulations will have to stick to restriction. The only sale scenario for the DB Killer will be the circuit use, with escapes that will continue for sale, but will not be approved for circulation in street. An obsession that comes from afar. Especially noisy motorcycles have been focusing on the European Union for a long time. The Euro 4 regulations, approved in 2016, limited the noise to 80 dB. Euro 5 began including moving tests and with the new Euro5+ and Futura EURO6 The controls are expected to remain increasingly restrictive. Beyond limitations in homologation, there are already European countries devising systems to avoid noise in its cities. The Noise radars They work in countries like France, capable of photographing every vehicle that overcomes the allowed noise in decibels. Precedents. In countries such as Austria it is not possible to circulate with motorcycles that They exceed 95db in stopa regulation that does not apply to cars. Others, such as Germany, restrict the circulation of motorcycles on weekends by certain routes, and have been enabling noise sensors that warn about whether the motorcycle is noisy.

34% for all US products

by

On April 2, 2025, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, announced the implementation of the “reciprocal tariffs” to regulate imports. Thus, the United States It imposes extraordinary tariffs ranging from 20% applied to the EU at 32% of Taiwan and up to 46% of Vietnam. But if there is a clear rival in this critical regular commercial war, it is China, to which Trump already “punished” with some tariffs of 34%. What has China done? Return exactly the same punishment to the US. China imposes tariffs of 34% to the US. China has announced which will impose additional tariffs of 34% to the imports that China makes of the United States. The measure is produced in response to the tariffs announced by Donald Trump this week. After yesterday’s announcement, the total taxes of the United States to their Chinese imports will approach 60%. These are some of the countries most affected by the tariffs announced by Donald Trump, and the value of imports of those countries/blocks in 2024 in billions of dollars. Source: CNN. Intimidation. From Beijing, they emphasize that “the United States actions do not conform to the rules of international trade, seriously undermine China’s legitimate rights and interests and are a typical example of unilateral intimidation.” Tit for tat. The reprisals that have occurred in China also threaten to occur throughout the planet. Canada has imposed 25% tariffs on American cars, for example, and the EU It has already indicated that prepares his answer “if the negotiations fail.” Black Friday for bags. Ibex 35, the most affected, falls 5.5% and other European bags are falling falls between 1 and 2%. While, The collapse of technological valueswhich had already been pronounced yesterday, it will aggravate even more. Before the opening of the markets “The Magnificent” fall between 4 and 6%. Sight recession. The analysts of the JPMorgan consultant do not stop reviewing their forecasts regarding the possibility that the United States enters recession this year, and right now They estimate it by 60%. Before Trump’s announcement on Wednesday that estimate was 40%. Unknown effects. This total commercial war initiated by the US raises colossal collateral efectos. As they point out In the countryone of them can be “the diversion of products that until now could be sold in the first world economy” and that Now they will look for other destinations like the EU. Urusla von Der Leyden, leader of the European Commission, already warned that they were going to analyze these effects “because we cannot absorb world overcapacity.” China imposes export control. As they point out In CNNChina He added 11 US companies to their “list of unreliable entities”, but its implementation of export controls For 16 US companies that will see the export of “dual use products” (civil and military), such as those that manufacture drones. These 16 companies are involved in aerospace industries (Hig Point AeroTechnologies or S3 Aerodefense, for example), Surveillance (Cyberlux), Military Logistics (Cubic Corporation) or advanced manufacturing (Textore). These measures are probably a retaliation against vetoes to exports from Chinese companies Like Huawei or Dji. China argues that these US companies “can endanger China’s national interests and security.” Also They have been added export controls For seven rare earth types. Margin to negotiate. The US tariffs are activated on April 9, while China has indicated that its taxes will be activated a day later, on April 10. They leave a small margin for potential negotiation. Trump delayed the application of tariffs to Mexico and Canadabut finally activated them in early March. In Xataka | Nike is caught in a perfect storm: the new US tariffs are his last lunge

We review retro portable consoles in crossover

by

In the early 90s if you wanted to play video games you basically had to do it at home or in recreational. But then the first mass portable consoles arrived and showed that this segment had an extraordinary potential. This is how Nintendo He brought us his mythical Game Boy And how then many other increasingly and more versatile portable consoles would come. The recent presentation of the promising Nintendo Switch 2 It is a great opportunity to make that review. Of them we have had the opportunity to speak in the Fifth episode of crossoverthe biweekly program in which Xataka and Gama Topes join forces. One that as on other occasions brings a few surprises.

The new Chinese tariffs are a mosquadilla for Apple. It is just what Huawei needed to dominate Asia

by

China has not taken to respond to new tariff rates imposed By the Trump administration, further increasing the pressure on this commercial war scenario. The new situation. After the Last climb announced on April 3the tariffs that the United States applies to imported products from China already reach 54%. In reciprocal response, China has announced a new 34%rate package. The US rates enter into force on April 9 and those of China on April 10, with a day of strategic difference. A margin that opens the door to possible last minute negotiations to adjust or avoid the implementation of tariffs, giving time to both countries to search for agreements before the measures impact their economies. In this stage of tariff chaos there are two very important actors for the Chinese market: Huawei and Apple. The golden opportunity for Huawei. Huawei is positioned as a key actor in technological matters with strong government support. At the beginning of 2025 it has become the Second manufacturer in Chinabehind living and just ahead of Apple. Beyond smartphones sales, Huawei is a crucial company for the country in relation to network infrastructure, manufacture of multiplatform semiconductors and software. Currently, the company is a symbol of technological self -sufficiency, both in software and hardware. Huawei recently announced his plans to abandon Android in favor of Harmonyosa system designed for the Asian market (at least, for now), with its own development and without a trace of foreign code. Similarly, the company has been in full commercial fight for years to be competent in the manufacture of semiconductors, currently blocked in seven nanometers lithographybut having achieved your own manufacturing With the support of SMIC, the Chinese giant for chips function. Quota dance. Only 1%market share separate (17%) from Huawei (16%), and with an Apple (15%) that could be out of the map after the entry into force of a new 34%tariff to American products, the scenario that is drawn is that of an absolute leadership by Chinese manufacturers. For Huawei, who has been climbing positions for a few years, it is the best possible scenario. The company is resuming its position in the market thanks to the support of the Chinese government (who has invested in national machinery for chip manufacturing and provides tax exemptions to technology like this). It will not be the only beneficiary. With the exception of Apple, China is a market in which national companies cover full sales photography. I live, Huawei, Oppo and Honor are the best -selling brands, with quite similar figures and market share. China has been a key market for Apple for years. At the end of 2024, this territory meant about 30% of its income. However, in the first quarter of 2025 and in the middle of the commercial war, Chinese participation in Apple’s income fell to 15.83%. An even more aggressive tariff would mean an important setback for the American company, who now faces a complicated scenario in which tariffs to countries like Vietnam or India put their manufacturing and margins strategy in check. Five days of doubt. The reciprocal tariffs between the United States and China threaten to shake the entire world, from the drop in stock market and increase in the manufacturing costs of companies outside technology such as Niketo the hard blow suffered by practically All Big Tech. Next week it will be crucial to know if there is room for negotiation, or if the commercial war is about to start its crudest phase.

Tiktok was hours again in the US. Donald Trump has just extended the prohibition period again

by

Millions of Tiktok users in the United States woke up this Friday without knowing if the next day they could continue using the application. Bytedonce, the social network’s parent company, had a deadline on Saturday, April 5 to sell its operations in the country. If not, a law approved in 2024 would technically prevent him from continuing to operate in US territory. Donald Trump, who had already stopped the veto on his first day of mandate, has intervened again. This time he has done it through an executive order that extends in 75 days the deadline before the measure enters into force. It is a temporary respite not only for those who use it by entertainment, but also for many content and merchants who use it regularly. The sale of Tiktok wins time. “My administration has worked hard to reach an agreement to save Tiktok and we have made considerable progress. The agreement requires more work to ensure that all the necessary approvals are signed,” said the White House tenant in a publication in Truth Social. “We hope to work with Tiktok and China to close the agreement,” he added. Several interested buyers. The possible sale of Tiktok in the United States has aroused the interest of several technological giants. In recent days they have sounded Names like Walmart, Amazon, Oracle and Applovin. Investment signatures such as Blackstone have also appeared. Although there is no official confirmation, Trump has already advanced that “There are many potential buyers.” Tariffs as a weapon. Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration are news again for its international impact. In the case of China, which already faced a 2 %rate, new taxes of 34 %have been recently added, which raises the total of 54 %. In this context, Trump has suggested that he is willing to soften them if the Chinese government collaborates to facilitate the Tiktok sales agreement. China must authorize the agreement. Tiktok initially refused to sell its operations in the United States, but it seems that the position has begun to move. Today, a possible agreement no longer seems so far or unlikely. Of course: any decision must inevitably happen by the Chinese government, which does not go through its best moment in relations with Washington due to the current tariff war. How have we get here? The current situation has its origin in a lEy approved in 2024, during the mandate of Joe Bidenthat forces Bytedance to sell Tiktok operations in the United States or face its ban. The central argument of American legislators is the risk to national security: they fear that the Chinese government can force the parent company to deliver user data. In January, Tiktok was inaccessible for about 14 hours After the first deadline without agreement expired. Application stores removed the app, but access was restored after Donald Trump’s promise to postpone the measure. The day he assumed the position, he signed an executive order that extended the prohibition period for 75 days, which won on Saturday and has been extended.

His true drama is autonomous driving

by

The United States took the submachine gun, loaded her tariffs and downloaded her bullets all over the world. Except for exceptions, the Donald Trump government announced on April 2 that it will tax with additional economic measures to anyone who, according to their accounts, has mistreated the United States. China, one of the most punished countries, has already responded. The tariffs. A quick review of what has happened. Donald Trump presented on April 2 the largest tariff load for a century, according to experts consulted by BBC. The European Union will pay 20% as of April 9 for putting your products in the United States. United Kingdom, however, will pay 10%. Russia will not pay anything. China will pay 39%. An island inhabited by seals and penguins will pay 10%. It seems random but it is the result of applying a flat rate of 10% of tariffs to all countries. Then, the commercial balance is taken and if it is negative for the United States, it is divided between the imported, it is multiplied by 100 and, for the executive of the American country you have the figure of the alleged undercover tariffs that each country or region imposes on US products. Donald Trump has taken that figure and divides it by two. The result is the tariff applied to each country. A blunt answer. For China, new tariffs are “subjective and unilateral valuations (…) do not conform to international trade standards” and, deep down, are a “typical unilateral intimidation practice.” These are the words, collected by The countrythat the Chinese government has used in a statement to confirm that it will impose a 34% tariff to all goods from the United States. This 34% adds to 20% that the United States already announced in early March and was answered From China with new tariffs to specific sectors (such as the field), the prohibition of selling products to 15 US companies for security reasons or Restrictions in the sale of rare minerals. Until now, Chinese companies The tariffs had been jumping In products for less than 800 euros. These, as of April 9, will have to raise their prices by 54% (20% already established and 34% announced on April 2) compared to the cost of just a few months ago. China will apply its tariffs from April 10, which looks like an open door to negotiation. How are you going to Tesla in China? Elon Musk’s company is one of the most settled American companies in China. Tesla sold 1.79 million electric cars worldwide. Of them, 657,000 vehicles were sold in the Asian country. That is, one in three cars manufactured by Tesla was bought in China, according to data from Reuters. It was a sales record in a year where He could not sell more cars than the previous exercise worldwide, a rarity. Of those 657,000 electric cars, Cleantechnica He points out that more than 480,000 of them were Tesla Model Y. This electric SUV that became the best -selling car in the world in 2023 is, by far, the best beta in the mine that Tesla has in China. The Tesla Model and is the best -selling electric car in the country. China has a category called “New Energy” where the electric and plug -in hybrids add up. Above Tesla Model and only the Byd Song was placed but this is sold in hybrid version. The Seagull Byd, second best -selling purely electric car, about 27,000 registrations below the Tesla model. An extreme dependence. The company has ended up based on China on the electric SUV. Behind the Tesla Model and, his Tesla Model 3 was the best -selling car with a lot of difference. So much that according to data collected by Autovista24The Berlina touched the 177,000 registrations. Added both vehicles is the result: Tesla lives two models in China (Model and and Model 3). The Tesla Model S and Model X are missing. Yes, the company sells them there but they are models considered luxurious to the point that Xiaomi boasts to put in the market an ultra xiaomi su7 that is sold in China for a much lower price to Tesla Model S Plaid, with which it compares in benefits. Little impact … A 34% tariff to all goods from the United States would affect very little in practice to Tesla sales in China. The only two cars that would be punished are the Tesla Model S and Model X that, as we see, have irrelevant sales in the final results account. They are models considered of luxury and Chinese clients have turned their backs to any product that is not local in that price segment. Tesla manufactures those two cars exclusively in the United States But his Tesla Model 3 and Model and yes he manufactures them in China with concrete specifications for the country. Everything indicates that they would not be affected by the new tariffs.
