The northern hemisphere has the highest snow extension of the last 20 years. In Spain that sounds like science fiction

by

While the extension of Arctic Ice was in January the second lowest Since there are satellite data, snow is giving a surprise. According to the NOAAsnow levels in the northern hemisphere are the highest in 20 years. Although the truth is that Europe (even less in Spain) we are not noticing it. What about snow in the northern hemisphere? It is soon to know. As we knowthere are many descriptors of winter in the hemisphere that may seem inconsistent with each other, but that are only a sample of the enormous climate complexity of the earth. As with Any extraordinary event (And, of course, this amount of snow is) now it remains a whole series of analysis to know what is behind and what we can expect in the coming years. So much to Nevado? So we know more detailed analysis, the increase in snow extension It is mainly due to the strong snowfall that were in early February in Asia and North America. Especially, a huge snowstorm that lasted a week caused many problems In Russia in general and In the distant this Russian in particular. In the US and Canada too They are having more Normal Snowbut the Russian storm is the key push for these historical records. And in Spain? On our side, the extension of snow in Europe is below the average. And, as a result that snowfalls are becoming more irregular, higher levels, Spain is even worse. In the Cantabrian Mountains, for example, We are at 72.6 hm³ Faced with the average of 250. In the Pyrenees, 764 compared to 1400 of the average of the last 10 years. On the other hand, the central and Iberian systems accumulate about 5 hm³ compared to 50 on average. The only one Discordant note is Sierra Nevada: The surroundings of the most southern ski resort in Europe has 12.7 hm³. That is, not only is it twice as the central mountain ranges, but almost exactly the same amount of snow as in the average of the last decade. Little snow … For now. As Nacho Espinos explained in Meteored“just 7% of the mountainous surface in Spain” is covered with snow. In aggregate terms, there are 1,160.9 hm³ of snow compared to 2,000 average. Of course, we will have to wait to see how the year ends: in the 2023/2024 season, the great snow peak came between March and April. And, honestly, time is unpredictable that (despite the “advanced spring” we are living) any scenario is reasonable.

How $ Libra and the cryptocurrency macroestaf

by

Around al Memecoin $ Libra everything has gone at a speed of infarction. It was The ball of its price, which on Friday triggered its global value until it adds several billions of dollars in a matter of hours. It was his collapse, just as resounding and accelerated. And now his controversy is being, with an intense crossing of criticism and accusations of Macroestafa Among the protagonists of what promises to be one of the most rocambolesque chapters of the brief cryptohistory. In the eye of the hurricane is Javier Milei, president of Argentina and an essential figure to understand what happened. For now, $ Libra seems to be costing him a cascade of accusations for fraud and considerable erosion of its popularity. In fact there are already those who, pulling irony and black humor, have baptized it “Ponzidente” In a wink to the famous system of Ponzi pyramidal scams. A name: $ Libra. To understand what happened, you have to go back late Friday, when Javier Milei published in networks, for the 3.8 million of followers that adds in X and the six million of Instagram, a message in which it basically promoted a cryptocurrency called $ Libra. Exactly, just like the name of his own party, La Libertad advancesLla. That the head of state of Argentina gave visibility to what he called “private project” focused on “growth” was understood as something else: an endorsement, a support, a guarantee of reliability. After all, Milei spoke from the same platforms that he often uses ads, launching opinions or heading to other world leaders. The result was expected. He lifted his mood. And there were Argentines who took advantage of their huchas to invest. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A phrase: “encourage growth”. That in networks, media and forums have not stopped commenting The tweet Published by Milei on Friday at the last minute, even though that message has already been deleted from the Argentine leader’s account, it makes enough sense. Without him it is difficult to understand everything that happened later and The consequences that may have for him in the future. After starting with a “Liberal Argentina grows !!!”, Milei presented $ Libra as an entrepreneurship focused on the development and capture of wealth. “This private project will be dedicated to encourage the growth of the Argentine economy, anchoring small Argentine businesses and ventures. The world wants to invest in Argentina.” The tweet It included a link to a platform that –Cryptopolitan needs– He already invited to suspicate and linked to a Google form to process financing applications. Other heavyweights From the extreme right Argentina helped give visibility. A figure: 4.5 billion. $ Libra grew like foam. Even more. Despite the misgivings that did not take the project and that everything indicated that the domain had been registered just a few hours before Of the launch, Milei’s tweet seemed to give wings to the Memecoin. In a very short time its market capitalization shot until they were around 4.5 billion of dollars. However, with them and after that vertiginous growth, it collapsed to the ground. The Kobeissi Letter has elaborated A thread To explain step by step the sequence in detail, but it is summarized in a simple way: in full spiral of optimism and growth, large owners of $ Libra began to liquidate huge sums of dollars in minutes, achieving millionaire earnings. Cryptopolitan Explain that when people started asking questions Insiders of $ Libra had exhausted around 87.4 million dollars. And that in just three hours. A concept: ‘rug-pull’. Shortly after the launch of the Memecoin He began to sound Anything else: a concept, Rug-Pull (“Plush pull”, in Spanish), which basically describes the fraudulent practice of those who create cryptocurrencies, attract investors and then disappear quickly, withdrawing their funds. In summary, inflate an asset artificially to capture investors and step back when the spiral is at its peak taking millionaire gains. In Your report Regarding the firm Kobbeissi Letter says that “in five hours more than 4.4 billion market capitalization was erased.” Moreover, there are means that already speak of more than 40,000 investors who have seen their money trapped in the project endorsed by Milei. Hours after launching a post promoting $ Libra, the Argentine leader’s account erased the original publication and hung Another messagevery different tone, in which it basically marks distances with the Memecoin and charge hard against their critics. A tweet: “I have no link”. “A few hours ago I published a Tweet, like so many other infinite times, supporting an alleged private venture that obviously has no link,” the Argentine leader starts in Your second message. “I was not internalized from the details of the project and after having internalized I decided not to continue disseminating (that’s why I erased the tweet).” Little has served him. After what happened the weekend, they have not stopped the reactions. The case has raised comparisons with the Trump launchwhich also grew strongly before disinfied, has given rise to criticism of the opposition and above all he has focused the focus on who is behind $ libra and to what extent he was milei aware of the risks and what ended up happening. Click on the image to go to Tweet. A reaction: complaints. Yesterday was presented a criminal complaint against Milei for “illegal association”, “scams” and “breach of the duties of a public official” and already There is news They point out that the number of claims has continued to grow. The opposition threat now With a Impeachment while the leader load against “The unclean rats of the political caste that want to take advantage of the situation” and alleges that has been directed to anti -corruption. In The complaint Presented yesterday is also included, among, others responsible for the development of cryptodye and technological infrastructure that supported it. One of those responsible for the project has already publicly came out to blame Milei of what happened, relating the collapse in the … Read more

Now it is more likely that Intel ends up chopped. TSMC and Broadcom are already rubbing their hands

by

In the middle of last September, just two and a half months before leaving Intel, Pat Gelsinger revealed that the company’s board of directors was wearing the possibility of Escind your manufacturing business of semiconductors in A movement very similar to the AMD In 2009. This last company broke up its integrated circuit production subsidiary and created GlobalFoundries. Since then It has been objectively well. Intel pursues the same: recover financial health and increase its competitiveness. Gelsinger is already completely disconnected from Intel, but the possibility of separating the chips manufacturing subsidiary from the rest of the company is still on the table. However, like We explain to you At the end of November, if you finally decide to do so, you will not have complete freedom. And he will not have it because he has contracted obligations with the US government as a result of the reception of the 7,860 million dollars given by the Department of Commerce as a subsidy. And also of the 3.5 billion dollars which will receive from the Department of Defense to make chips for military applications. TSMC and Broadcom are interested in getting two essential parts of Intel Intel’s commitment to the US administration directly involves the splitting of its semiconductor manufacturing division in the form of an independent subsidiary. The US government has asked Intel to maintain the property of at least 50.1% of Intel Foundry if this business unit finally got to separate and acquire the form of a new private legal entity. And now more than ever this possibility is very tangible. TSMC is preparing an offer that would allow you to control the integrated circuit manufacturing plants of Intel According to The Wall Street Journal (TWSJ), which in the field of relations between companies does not usually give stitch without thread, TSMC and Broadcom are interested in getting two fundamental parts of Intel. The Taiwanese manufacturer of semiconductors, which leads the global market with A fee close to 60%you are preparing, always according to TWSJ, an offer that would allow you Control manufacturing plants Intel integrated circuits. At the current situation this strategic decision makes sense. TSMC is interested in developing its manufacturing infrastructure beyond Taiwan’s borders with the purpose of protecting its business if a war conflict between China and its country of origin is triggered. This company currently is building new plants of semiconductor production in Arizona (USA), Germany and Japan, but adding the factories that Intel has not only in the US, but also in Europe, Israel and Asia would allow him to consolidate his expansion very quickly. Interestingly in the middle of last October CC Wei, the current president and general director of TSMC, declared that he did not contemplate The possibility of buying Intel factories. However, it is reasonable that an executive with his responsibility Do not confirm an operation of this size until it is essentially closed. Whatever TSMC is not at all the only company that is interested in getting a piece of Intel. And is that, According to TWSJthe American chip designer Broadcom is also preparing an offer to get the integrated circuit design and marketing divisions of Intel. In any case, if the TSMC initiative will finally prosper will stumble in all likelihood with the government’s opposition led by Donald Trump. Currently it is unlikely that the administration approves the purchase of such an important division of an American company by a foreign company. Especially if, in addition, your business develops in a strategic industry such as semiconductors.

What is it, how it works and requirements to use this method to renew your DNI

by

Let’s explain WHAT IS THE EXPRESS DNIa process that is beginning to deploy in Spain to expedite the process of renewing the national identity document. This process usually takes because you have to go to the police to do it, obtaining an appointment first. But now it is starting to expedite, so that renewing the ID can be very easy and fast. We are going to start explaining what the express DNI is and how this procedure works. Then we will tell you What are the requirements To be able to use this method to renew your document, and so know if you will be able to do it. What is and how the express DNI works Express DNO is a new method for renew your fast and easy IDwhich will live with the traditional method. Instead of face to face with an agent to complete some procedures such as putting your fingerprint, you will enter a cabin where everything speeds up. It’s about A multiple expedition module (ME) that are being installed in the police stations that can perform this procedure. This means that it is not in all, but in those where the DNI is renewed, that these machines are being installed. It is a double cabin, and on the other side there are an agent who can serve two people at the same time. In it, in addition to renewing the ID at the moment you will also be able to make the payment, either by card or contactless with your mobile or smart watch. These stations have technologies for biometric capture, with which you can Remove the photo of a person and get their fingerprints. Come on, the two things that are needed for you to renew the DNI can be done in this cabin. The term DNI Express refers to the fastest process without renewal, not the identity document, so what you get is exactly the same as if you do by the traditional method. The advantage of this method is that You do not need to request a previous appointmentsomething that in some cities can have a long waiting. In addition, it reduces the costs, since You don’t need to take a picture for the ID In no establishment, the machine takes it out for you. REQUIREMENTS TO USE THE EXPRESS DNI These are the requirements that you must meet to use this new service. You have to fulfill them alland if there is any that is not fulfilled you will have to renew your document for the traditional channels: They must miss 180 days or less for the expiration of the DNI, that is, to be within their renewal period. Personal data, such as address, must be maintained. The current ID chip must be in perfect condition for the module to read it without problems. It must be a renovation and not a first expedition. In any case, such renewal should not be caused by the loss or theft of the document. The fingerprints They must be read correctly. As is evident, in addition to this it will be necessary that in the police police station where the ID is renewed in your locality, one of these cabins has been installed, something that can take a little longer in some cases.

LaLiga is still determined to block IPS. Not clear that I can do it legally

by

The War between LaLiga with Cloudflare It is intensifying, and this last weekend we have seen how websites blockages (legitimate or not) Not only have they been repeated but have gone to more. There is despite doubts about the validity of these measures, and that is where it is good to explain what their legal support is. The context and the problem. LaLiga, in contact with the operators, has implemented measures that affect the services provided by cloudflare to its users. IPS (dynamic, according to LaLiga) are aimed at avoiding the illegal broadcast of football matches, but are affecting thousands of legitimate web sites and services. The reason: in Cloudflare IPS are shared and when one is blocked, all the sites associated with it are blocked. The background. The contents industry protected by intellectual property has been looking for mechanisms for years to protect your business. Among them is the modification of the legislation to for example try to avoid (or minimize) judicial intervention. That happened for example With the Sinde law. Article 138 of the Intellectual Property Law. Javier A. Master (@Javieramastre), by Maestre Abogados, published last Friday an extensive analysis entitled ‘The Affaire Cloudflare‘Explaining in detail the legal situation in this area. How he said, the mechanisms of the Sinde law “were not agile enough”, and for that is the art. 138 of the Intellectual Property Law (LPI), which in essence allows rights holders to request urgent precautionary measures against intermediaries that facilitate infractions, without the need to demonstrate that the intermediary is also offender. LaLiga “demands” the operators. What allow both art. 138 As the 139 of the LPI is that the owner of the rights can directly sue the service providers (the operators) instead of the direct offenders. For Master the situation is as follows: “With this trick, everyone is stored for each other: The plaintiffs: we only ask for the measures. It is the judge who agrees. The judge: one is asking for one, the defendant is paved. I have to grant the request. The operator: I have to pay attention to the judge. “ Violation of freedom of expression. This expert adds that these closures occur without giving those affected the opportunity to defend themselves, “in a flagrant violation of both freedom of expression and information (art. 20 of the Constitution) and of the right to effective judicial protection (art. 24 of the Constitution) “. This process effectively avoids the participation of the parties really affected in the litigation. But it should not be able to apply in this case. These measures are oriented to the urgent precautionary scope, but for example the Provincial Court of Barcelona interpreted in 2018 that these measures can be applied beyond this area. Thus, the sentence said, “it is established, for the first time, the possibility of requesting precautionary measures against intermediaries whose services use a third to violate intellectual property rights, without the requirement that the intermediary is also offender.” And the evidence, what?. In that “doubtful constitutionality,” says Maestre, there is continuously talk about “urgent precautionary measures.” However, the audition was established at least “the need for a finding of the existence of infraction,” that is, proof that this violation of intellectual property is taking place. In the case of Cloudflare, the measures are based on a technical report that has not been contrasted, and the measures apply without those affected being able to defend themselves. Plaintiffs and defendants united in collusion. Maestre points out that demanding (LaLiga) and defendants (operators such as Movistar) act in collusion in the judicial process to achieve the restriction of services without those affected being able to defend themselves. The PREVIOUS CASE JUDGMENTS They are shielding that the supposed offenders had not been “identified or located”, which would make it impossible for their defense to participate. Master makes it clear that in this case “Cloudflare is perfectly identified.” But there is damage to third parties. This expert stands out how the Article 21 of the Civil Procedure Law (LEC). According to this text, the search should be rejected when it involves damage to third parties not demanded in the procedure. Here many affected have not demanded have been –all economically harmed companies and individuals-, but still the measures have been executed anyway. Violated fundamental rights. All this points to a potential violation of several fundamental legal principles, including the Article 24 of the Constitution Spanish that guarantees the right to be heard and defend itself in a judicial process. In addition, Spanish legislation, through articles 270 of the LOPJ and 150 of the LEC, force to notify the judicial resolutions both to the parts of the process and to those who could be affected by them. According to Master, this obligation has been ignored. Images | WIRESTOCK | LaLiga In Xataka | The government wants to end unwanted commercial calls.

The ultrasecure aerial capsule that the US usually uses as an alternative to the “final judgment plane”

by

He E-4B Nightwatchbetter known as the “final judgment plane”, is a key piece of the National Military Command System. It is a modified version of the Boeing 747-200, such as the presidential planeequipped with meeting rooms and advanced communications systems, essential to execute emergency orders and coordinate the Armed Forces in case the ground command and control centers are inoperative. In addition, this plane is usually used by the Secretary of Defense on its trips abroad, guaranteeing connectivity and command capacity according to the organization of the country’s armed forces. But what happens if no E-4B is available? This is an expected scenario and for which there is an alternative. If the E-4B cannot fly, the C-17 comes into action There are multiple reasons why E-4B may not be operational: routine maintenance, technical failures or even deployments in crisis situations. Even if any of the four copies of the fleet were in a position to fly, it is possible that the authorities decide not to use it for strategic reasons. In those cases, high -importance passengers, called VVIP in English, can move in the C-17 Globemaster III. An E-4B Nightwatch (above), a C-17 GlobeMaster III (below) Here we enter a known field. It is a colossus of four engines originally designed by McDonnell Douglas and whose legacy continues under Boeing. Its robustness is undeniable, but its interior is far from offering an adequate environment for VVIP. The load warehouse lacks connectivity and does not have work stations. To solve this problem there is Silver bulleta kind of capsule that makes the C-17 a transport suitable for high controls. Military personnel install a silver bullet in a C-17 GlobeMaster III When this alternative is activated, The Air Mobility Command and the 89th maintenance group install a silver bullet inside a C-17. The process involves moving the capsule with a trailer, ensuring it in the plane’s cellar and connecting a complex umbilical cable system that guarantee the Safe communication. Jens Stoltenberg in a silver bullet (left), Pete Hegseth inside another (right) Over the years, various images have allowed to take a look inside this ultrasegura capsule. In 2017, the then NATO general secretary, Jens Stoltenberg, He shared a photograph of a meeting inside the silver bullet. More recently, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appeared in a video posted in X from inside. The space is reduced but functional: wooden panels, brown leather seats, telephones and safe computers, a bathroom and even a microwave. However, Your time is counted. The Air Force plans to replace these capsules, designed decades ago, by most advanced versions With better connectivity, more current shots, bedrooms and conferences rooms with capacity for up to nine people.

A new generation promises to change the rules of the game

by

China’s military modernization goes beyond Hightens or the New fighters. Yes, these are elements of superiority on the battlefield, also of deterrence and the country is investing a lot in modernizing and expanding its fleet, but something that they are also putting efforts is in the renewal of their submarines with nuclear capacity. After a not very successful type 094, China is finalizing the Type 096 nuclear submarine. And, of course, they have the attention of their main rivals in a scenario reminiscent of the Cold War. Reinforcing maritime presence. The modernization of the main military arms has become one of the main strategies of the Government of Xi Jinping. We are seeing advances in all areas, with examples such as New Earth’s Armament, PAIR DEVELOPMENTthe aforementioned aircraft carrier with The Electromagnetic Fujian at the head, Heavy helicopters, fighters and even Space armament. The leg that could be more lame in the Chinese Navy is that of the submarines of ballistic missiles, or SSBN for its acronym in English. Not only had few, but their designs and functioning had nothing to do with that of the most advanced powers in this context. Sample of this is type 094 of the beginning of the century. Type 094. Seeking to close the gap with the United States and maintain a persuasive presence in the South China Sea, the country launched type 094. It is a submarine with a load capacity of nuclear propulsion ballistic missiles and was the successor of the type 092 of the mid -1980s. It is estimated that there are six active units of this submarine, but it is a ship with lights and shadows. While their nuclear eyelets can reach the American coast from the South China Sea, the main objective of these submarines is deterrent and furtive presence (avoiding the detection of radars and enemy systems). The problem is that it is as noisy as the Soviet and American submarines of the 1970s. For a “new” submarine, it was an obvious skinny point because it made it very visible to the anti -submarine technologiesfrom the United States and its allies. And type 096. The reason for this noise is that its propulsion system is outdated (inspired by Soviet technology of the Cold War) and the design of the helmet, the propellers and the isolation system make it totally ineffective in furtive missions. China has launched more silent variants, such as type 094a, but they are still too loud. An easy target in the current anti -submarine war, goes. That’s where Type 096 enters the scene. There are six other submarines of this class with twice tons in tons and twice the capacity for ballistic missiles, but more than for its improvements for combat, what China is looking for is that it solves the predecessor problem. Thus, type 096 hopes to be as stealthy as more modern Russian submarines. It will also be loaded with improvements in the detection of rival submarines. Challenges. Part of the design efforts have been destined to cushion the noise of the engines, as indicated in SCMP. It is speculated that, similar to the new Russian submarines, the engines are mounted on huge rubber supports that help overshadow the sound. And it is also estimated that it will be ready by the end of this decade. Now, although they have Russia and the portfolio in their favor, experience is a degree and, precisely, is what China is missing in SSBN. Russia and the United States have decades of experience in this area and we will have to see when type 096 enters into play if China has achieved that leap that seeks in nuclear submarine design. Attracting looks. In ReutersNaval Technical Intelligence authorities and analysts estimate that “type 096 will be a nightmare.” The reason is that, according to them, “they will be very, very difficult to detect.” It is also said that Russia has shared part of its technology with China to improve that sound efficiency in its new submarine and that, although they do not think that Russia has shared its ‘crown jewels’ with China (because they would lose competitive advantage in case Something twists in the relationship), they are collaborating closely. In the United States analyst documents, it is speculated with the implications that such a weapon will have for the United States and its Indo-Pacific allies, since the presence of a vehicle like type 096 would have “deep” implications in a area of ​​special interest At present for numerous countries. Sample is the incident in June 2023, when a type 094 emerged in the Taiwan Strait, visualizing the constant tensionthat is lived in the area.
