This is what the law says about the controversy over million-dollar fines

by

Installing a security camera at home or in a business is an increasingly attractive option. The price of security systems makes them affordable, but it is also easy to control them from your mobile phone and they have live alert systems. It is a good way to gain security and are a deterrent against possible crimes. The problem is that it is not as simple as placing a camera wherever we want and starting to monitor: the Data Protection Law comes into play. It is something that happens in Spainbut also in Mexico, and in recent days controversy has erupted: if you install surveillance cameras, you will face a million-dollar fine. The commotion that has arisen is such that the Government itself has come out to clarify the issue. The controversy. A few days ago, a popular TikToker posted a video in which he talked about the situation. “Did you know that you can get into legal trouble because of the cameras you have in your business or home?” This is how the video begins, which, with a pejorative tone, accuses the Government of not acting to guarantee the safety of the citizen. Subsequently, and throughout the video, it clarifies the scenario in which these fines can be applied: if the cameras record public spaces or you as the owner disseminate the images. The seed, however, had already been planted. Media and users used this video to affirm that Mexico could denounce the owners of the surveillance cameras, causing the payment of million-dollar fines: up to 18 million pesos. Some of these media clarified the fact of the dissemination of the images or the orientation of the cameras, but others did not. The answer. The commotion has been tremendous, so much so that different institutional bodies have rushed to address the issue. They have done it in two ways: one, through the INAI, or National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data. In a videocomment that they have received several calls asking for information in this regard, commenting on the following: “The regulated subjects are those responsible who use personal data for purposes of disclosure or commercial prospecting. “If a person has cameras in their home and they do not have that purpose, but are used for personal treatment, the INAI will not impose any sanction.” The second, during an information section from the Treasury Room of the National Palace in which the Government denied the information. “The Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data held by individuals applies only to private individuals or legal entities that process personal data,” they comment. Basically, the same as the INAI. Cover of the PROFECO guide The buying guide. In fact, a few months ago it was the Government itself that published, through a document from the Federal Consumer Prosecutor’s Office, a purchasing guide with cameras for both internal and external use. In this studythey analyze various models, pointing out their pros and cons in a complete buying guide that would not make much sense if they were prohibited. The keys. But at the end of the document is the key. In a section called “Is the use of security cameras legal in Mexico?”, they confirm that it is. There are nuances: if it is inside a home or pointing towards private property, there is no problem, but if they record from the house to the outside, there are certain rules and restrictions to protect the privacy of others. What must be taken into account, according to the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties, is: It must aim to protect assets and facilities, as well as the prevention and detection of crimes. Images of people should not be captured without their consent, especially in public areas, unless they are police forces. When you can face a fine. In the document, the LFPDPPP clarifies that “it is legal to install surveillance cameras inside a property, as long as people’s rights to privacy and personal data are not violated.” Regarding outdoor cameras, it states that “if you plan to install security cameras, we recommend you notify your neighbors, either by putting up a sign notifying you of the existence of the camera or through a meeting. This ensures that they will be aware that they are being monitored and can take steps to protect their privacy.” However, it is true that there are establishments in which it is illegal to place cameras: Dressing rooms, bathrooms and private business rooms. Schools. Hospitals. Churches. Furthermore, in these last three, use is restricted if you do not have authorization from the authorities. Therefore, it is legal to have a security camera in Mexico if you do not broadcast the recordings and if, pointing to common areas, you warn in advance with a sign or a meeting with people likely to be recorded.

the best dressed of the 2025 Sundance Film Festival

by

The awards season has already begun and if there is a film festival that we cannot ignore that is the Sundance. This is a cinephile event, held in Park City, Utah, that brings together relevant figures of the seventh art with the aim of highlight their independent projects. An event that began last Thursday, January 23, and will last until February 2, inviting the attendees to not only captivate us with their skills in terms of interpretation, but also with outfits that exude great personality. Would you like to discover which actresses have stood out the most with their clothing choices, so far, in the respective events that have taken place? Let’s get to it! 17 © Getty Images © Getty Images Lili Reinhart The American performer, protagonist in Riverdalehas delighted us, just a few hours ago, with a double bet. First of all, a breaker total look leather effect consisting of a long coat, matching set jacket and miniskirt, turtleneck sweater and contrasting black high boots. And secondly, a air configuration preppy Consisting of a round-neck sweater with a white shirt, a pleated miniskirt, tight stockings and high-heeled shoes with a patent finish. 27 © @jlo © @jlo Jennifer Lopez Yesterday, Jennifer Lopez shared, through her social networks, a first stylistic proposal for Sundance. We talk about a total look black leather effect. A style as elegant as it had character that was achieved with the addition of a long trench coat with a belt (to stylize as much as possible) and a cape. As far as accessories are concerned, she finished it off with a beret, gloves and matching high boots. The singer also surprised with a second bet: a two-piece beige of sporty airconsisting of a body with laces and elastic band and matching bottom. 37 © Getty Images © Getty Images Cynthia Erivo The British interpreter of Wicked Nor does she stop causing a sensation with her looks. At Sundance he convinced us with a high impact double appearance. On the one hand, the actress surrendered to a two-piece jacquard set made up of blazer sculptural with peak lapels and full-length skirt midi and tube silhouette. A set which she elevated with suede boots and maximalist jewelry. On the other hand, he also triumphed by embracing the current of double denim and finishing it off with a voluminous two-tone black and white fur coat. 47 © Getty Images © Getty Images Sarah Jessica Parker If there is something that Sarah Jessica Parker is an expert in, it is the impossible combinations. And the actress, who presents the documentary The Librarians at Sundance 2025, he did not hesitate to embrace a look not suitable for everyone. We are referring to a style composed of a feather coat, a grayish cardigan, Victorian style ruffled dressscreen glasses and high boots in fuchsia, vitamin footwear that, for sure, we will seek to recycle in Spring/summer 2025. 57 © Getty Images © Getty Images Juliette Lewis The American actress, as soon as the film festival began, stunned with a long, short-sleeved dress midi curdled three-dimensional gold flowers. A design with a background naked sequin dress that she wore with hoop earrings and high brown suede boots. Two days later, he got it right again in terms of clothing, although with blazerdenim shirt, baggy jeans, high boots with pointed toes and knitted hat. 67 © Getty Images © Getty Images Glenn Close The iconic interpreter of fatal attraction caught everyone’s attention last Friday with an elegant black and white look. A style consisting of a white shirt with a bow and black, straight-cut, leather-effect pants. Likewise, she surrendered to a coat with peak lapels and a jewel brooch. As far as accessories are concerned, she finished her proposal with a rhinestone belt and matching leather boots. 77 © Getty Images © Getty Images Olivia Colman Colman was one of the actresses who They did not hesitate to succumb to the tailored suit to pose in photocall. We are referring to a black two-piece set of blazer single button and baggy pants. A option as relaxed as it is timeless which he wore with two-tone shoes oxford. As a more informal option, the interpreter dressed, on the 24th, in a sweater with geometric motifs, wide-leg jeans and white sneakers.

Ceasefire agreement between Lebanon and Israel ends

by

At least three displaced Lebanese were killed and 17 others were wounded this Sunday by gunfire from Israeli forces, after expire the ceasefire agreement that established the withdrawal of the Israeli Army. According to the Lebanese Ministry of Health, “attacks by the Israeli enemy against citizens trying to return to their villages left one dead and nine injured in Houla, and another eight injured in Kfar Kila,” two towns in Lebanon bordering Israel. Shortly afterward they raised the death toll to three. Groups of displaced people gathered at the entrance to their villages in southern Lebanon from early this Sunday with the intention of returning or assessing the damage to their homes, since at dawn the 60-day period established by the pact expired for them to Israel completed its withdrawal from Lebanese territory, although Israeli forces remained there after the deadline. Delay in Israeli withdrawal Despite this, The Israeli Government already announced last Friday that it would not remove its forces still present in the neighboring country in time. since the invasion that began on October 1, alleging that the other party has incurred delays in implementing the tasks assigned to it. The pact also establishes the departure of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah from the border strip and its replacement by a greater deployment of the Lebanese Army. According to the National News Agency (ANN), the Kfar Kila attack occurred after the victims “crossed the barrier and checkpoint set up by the ‘occupation Army’, one of many points where congregations of displaced people were registered in the western and central sectors of the border strip. Israel has withdrawn from most of the eastern sector, but remains present in various parts of the western part. Violations of the agreement also in Gaza Israel today accused Hamas of two violations of the truce agreementthus justifying its refusal to allow those displaced in the south of the Gaza Strip to return to their villages in the north. “During yesterday’s execution of the second phase of the exchange, Hamas committed two violations. Arbel Yehud, a civilian hostage scheduled for release on Saturday, has not been released, and a detailed list of the status of all hostages has not been provided,” said a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. Hamas released four Israeli military women on Saturday in exchange for 200 Palestinian detainees in the second exchange provided for by the truce agreement in the war in Gaza, although a last-minute disagreement prevented hundreds of thousands of displaced people from returning to the north of the Palestinian territory. This second exchange took place almost a week after the entry into force of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, devastated after more than 15 months of war between Israel and Hamas.

Barcelona vs. Valencia, La Liga: where to watch it live in the United States

by

After the resounding victory of real Madrid (1st) vs. Valladolid (20th), the meringues extended their lead to 10 points in the standings. This leaves the Barcelona (3rd) in a critical situation, forced not to give up any more ground if they want to continue in the fight for The League. This Sunday, the culés receive Valencia (19th) in Montjuic, a key duel for both teams. Although the team Hansi Flick keeps the firm step in the Champions Leaguehis performance in the domestic tournament continues to leave doubts. Last week’s draw against Getafe (1-1) prolonged their streak of setbacks in La Liga. The Blaugranas have not celebrated a league victory since December 3, when they beat the team 5-1. Majorca. Now they have the obligation to break that bad streak and revive their hopes of fighting for the title. On the other hand, Valencia faces this match with maximum urgency. Those from Mestalla need to score points immediately to move away from the abyss of relegation and keep their fight for permanence alive.

Chips that recover energy when working

by

Michael Frank has been working in a technological discipline that seems like science fiction for more than three decades. One that apparently pursues something impossible. And yet, it may not. The goal? Than using a chip manages to recover energy. Chips have always done the opposite. They consume energy. A lot. More and more, especially now that we are immersed In the era of glottone artificial intelligence. And yet Frank is immersed in the development of the call “reversible computing“As they explain In IEEE SpectrumLast summer Frank left his work as a scientific engineer in Sandia National Laboratories to join a very special startup called Vaire Computing. It is there where he intends to become what he has already estimated in his studies: according to his investigations, reversible computing could Allow energy efficiency 4,000 times higher to that of alternative options. In Vaire Frank and his team are working in a chip prototype that will be manufactured in the first quarter of 2025 and that is very ambitious. Even so, for the first time a chip is expected to recover energy when used in an arithmetic circuit. Then, in 2027, they hope to have a supply processor designed for artificial intelligence inference. The advanced version of said chip, which will theoretically be 4,000 times more efficient than the current ones, It will take 10 or 15 years to arrivetheir creators warn. What is reversible computing In 1961 Rolf Landauer, an IBM engineer, discovered that deleting a bit of information on a computer had an energy cost and produced heat. For him there was a solution: try to compute tasks without erasing information. A traditional xor door is not reversible: you cannot recover entries just knowing the exit. If an additional output is added, a copy of one of the inputs is reversible. Thus, the two outputs can be used to “disassemble” the door Xor and recover the entrances and, with them, the energy used in the calculation. Source: IEEE Spectrum. Landauer made clear that it seemed unchanged, because store all the information You would fill the memory With unnecessary data. More than a decade later Charles H. Bennett, physicist and information theoretical in IBM, discovered a solution. Instead of storing intermediate results in memory, you could reverse the computing process, “disbelieve it” to store only the final inputs and outputs. “Almost 100% of the energy used by a chip ends up being dissipated as heat, so we are basically evil. But in a reversible chip you never dissipate energy. Do not allow energy to become heat, and recycles internally.” The idea was taking shape in academic environments, and in the 90 Frank ended up being one of those who immersed themselves in their promises. The problem is that when developing that concept they saw that although energy was recovered in the circuit, it was lost in the external power supply. Vaire Computing was founded by researcher Hannah Earley and entrepreneur Rodfo Rosini. Earley explained In TechCrunch How “almost 100% of the energy used by a chip ends up being dissipated as heat, so we are basically missing it. But In a reversible chip you never dissipate energy. Do not allow energy to become heat, and recycles internally. “ In Varie they have apparently propose na solution with traditional CMOS transistors. To do this, they use the so -called “resonator”, a system that manages to recover energy by changing a bit from 0 to 1 so as not to turn it into heat and store most of it into the transistor itself. That idea has already been explored in the past, but in Vaire they seem to have managed to integrate that resonator into the chip. They will start with a little ambitious chip and then work on those chips for inference to which they will be theoretically what will be what will be theoretically really demonstrate How far can you get with reversible computing, also well explained in this small essay published in the Newsletter Exponential View. Of course, It is one thing to promise those efficiencies and another very different to achieve them. The proposal is very interesting and of course could raise a revolution that accelerated the development of much more powerful chips and that were not so voracious in terms of energy consumption. It remains to be seen if they will achieve it. Hopefully yes. Image | Wu Yi In Xataka | The 2 Nm chips race will start in 2025. And it will be the most fierce of all

China is advancing at breakneck speed in nuclear fusion. It already has something ready that until now only the Netherlands had

by

The path to a destination as challenging as it is nuclear fusion commercial must necessarily be full of small conquests. Of achievements that may seem modest, but that, in reality, are milestones that put us a little closer of an ambitious objective that seeks nothing more than to help us solve our energy needs without continuing to emit greenhouse gases. In this context ITER attracts much of the attention. And it is understandable that this is so. After all, it is a project of enormous magnitude, which is also led by the European Union. In fact, this organization is jointly assuming approximately 50% of the total cost of a plan in which the United States, Russia, China, Japan, India and South Korea also participate. However, the public commitment to nuclear fusion is not condensed solely into ITER. And it is not limited only to the European Union either. Not at all. Europe is signing up very important scientific milestonesbut there are other countries that are also bidding very high, and that, precisely, do not move in the orbit of the West. In fact, two of them, probably the most advantaged, are China and South Korea. China has a very sophisticated linear plasma generator to advance fusion In the field of nuclear fusion, plasma is the extremely hot gas that contains the nuclei of deuterium and tritium, the two isotopes of hydrogen, which are involved in the reaction. For these nuclei to overcome their natural electrical repulsion and the strong nuclear interaction to fuse them, they must acquire a very high kinetic energy. And this is only possible if the plasma reaches a temperature equal to or greater than 150 million degrees Celsius. As we can guess, very few known materials are capable of withstanding such a high temperature. However, this is not all. When a deuterium nucleus fuses with a tritium nucleus, they produce a helium nucleus and a neutron that is ejected with an energy of about 14 MeV (megaelectronvolts). The problem is that the neutron lacks a net electrical charge, so it cannot be confined inside the magnetic field which, however, does manage to retain the deuterium and tritium nuclei, which have a positive electrical charge. The components that will be most affected by the direct impact of high-energy neutrons and the most intense heat flow are the inner wall of the vacuum chamber and the mantle. This is the reason why when it originates as a result of the nuclear fusion reaction, this neutron is ejected towards the walls of the vacuum chamber with enormous energy. This particle is very important because in practice it will be closely linked to the production of electrical energy in nuclear fusion reactors, but, at the same time, it represents a very aggressive form of radiation that can significantly degrade the materials used in the reactor. . The components that will be most affected by the direct impact of high-energy neutrons and the most intense heat flow are the inner wall of the vacuum chamber and the blanketwhich is a mantle that covers it and whose purpose is regenerate tritium which is necessary to use as fuel in the nuclear fusion reaction. This is why it is crucial to develop new materials that are able to withstand the neutron flux and therefore ensure that the reactor will have a long operational life. Until now, only the Netherlands had a device capable of generating a high-flow plasma similar to what occurs in the vacuum chamber of a nuclear fusion reactor. But now China has it too. The Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences has successfully built a highly advanced linear plasma generator capable of accurately recreating the extreme conditions found inside fusion reactors. Its purpose is to use it to test candidate materials to be used in vacuum chamber constructionfor which it is essential to subject them to the interaction of plasma. Fortunately, China has confirmed that this machine will be available for international collaboration.

Misael Rodríguez adjusts accounts and expires Omar Chávez

by

Misael Rodríguez and Omar Chávez Finally they adjusted accounts About the ring after the controversial cancellation of his first fight. On Saturday night the ‘Chino’ He defeated the son of César del Boxeo by unanimous decision In the Potosí Arena in Mexico. In a duel that was expected more, Rodríguez and Chávez They were very even in the vast majority of rounds. In the eighth the Chinese-who connected greater volume of blows-gained confidence and pressed the son of Julio César Chávez to ensure the last two assaults to take the victory in the cards (96-94, 97-93 and 98-92). In the interview about the ring with TV Azteca, the Olympic medalist was very happy for the victory and assured that he is willing to give Omar Chávez a rematch, but for now Its goal is to look for a world championship. “I am not denied to fight with anyone, Of course I am open to revenge. But my goal is in a world championship and is where I go. The truth is that I thank you (Omar), made a very interesting fight with that fever below the ring. The truth is that all that I have left is experience, I have to thank my rival, we are colleagues. In the end, he is the son of a great legend, my respect always for them, ”he said. After knowing the result, the son of the great Mexican champion did not talk to the press And it is unknown what will be his next steps after having fallen in front of Misael Rodríguez. It should be noted that the first time they agreed to go up to the ring in Pachuca, The fight was canceled After Chino Rodríguez He decided to retire because Chavez exceeded the limit of the sand weight for almost 6 kilos. This generated a rivalry among the Mexican fighters who ended this Saturday night with the victory of the Olympic medalist. Misael Rodríguez, 30, was a bronze medalist at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. The Chinese, as he is also known, has a record of 15 wins (seven by fast track) and no defeat. For his part, Omar Chávez, 34, He moved away from an opportunity for the world title after falling to Chino Rodríguez. The son of the Mexican great champion has 41 victories (28 knockouts), 9 losses and a draw as a professional.

New York has gone from being one of the most clogged cities to a car-free “sanctuary.” Your recipe: $15

by

These days we have seen images of New York that seem taken from postapocalyptic movies as ‘I am Legend‘ or ’28 days later’. The streets in some areas of the ‘Big Apple’ have emptied during rush hours, and The person responsible has been… a toll. In no city in the world is so much time wasted in the car like in New Yorkwhich costs not only time, but also money. Specifically, the city estimates that the 700,000 vehicles that move through the southern part of Manhattan every day and get stuck represent a loss of 20 billion dollars in productivity. A nonsense, no matter how you look at it. The authorities know that this is a problem and have been trying to tackle it for some time. As? Through a toll. The measure, which should have been applied last summercame into operation on January 5 and delimits an area of ​​Manhattan named ‘Congestion Relief Zone’. If you want to access with a vehicle, it will cost you up to $14.50, a price that depends on whether it is a car or a motorcycle. If it’s a truck, it shoots up to $30. From Central Park to the southern peak of the island. The area is not small, precisely This price also depends on the time, but the consequence has been devastating: practically empty streets (at least by the standards of the city that never sleeps) when before they would have been full. And, apart from ending traffic jams and noise pollution, studies suggest that residents will also gain in health. Less cars, more health It seems obvious that, if the use of private transport is discouraged in favor of buses or the subway, there will be less pollution in the streets due to a reduction in pollution. The effects of the toll have not taken long to be noticed, with media such as Financial Times noting that the speed of access to Manhattan from New Jersey has nearly doubled. And leaving Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge has also gone from being a journey at an average speed of 20 km/h one at 37 km/h. There are points, such as the congested Holland Bridge, that have reduced traffic by 63%, while the use of public transport has increased by 14% in certain cases. In short: the City Council esteem Traffic in the limited area is 8% lower than at the same time last year, which means 219,000 fewer vehicles. As we say, also, less pollution. Or so it is expected. An environmental study published in 2023 estimated the impact that tolls would have on air pollution. Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, benzene and other chemical particles linked to respiratory problems, cognitive decline and heart disease would see their numbers reduced, as would greenhouse gases. He studyas we read in Gristwas carried out on a regional level, covering 12 counties in New York and New Jersey, as well as a projection to 2045. In it, it was determined that Manhattan would experience a 4.36% reduction in kilometers traveled daily by vehicles in 2045, which would result in a 10.72% decrease in CO₂ for that year in the business district, where the toll has been applied. Carbon monoxide levels would fall by 6.55% and nitrogen oxide levels would also fall by 5.89%. Without a doubt, these are good figures in the short and medium term that can not only contribute significantly to the health of the population, but also to the planet, but it should be noted that the study simply estimated the impact of measures such as tolls. To see real results, it will be necessary to measure the levels of particles and pollutants from now on and draw a comparison with previous levels. Andy Darrell is the New York regional director at the Environmental Defense Fund and commented that “the most important thing is to get started,” but we will see if there is time for those effects to be noticed. The reason is that the viability of the project is in doubtwith Manhattan residents filing a class action lawsuit against the plan, a Donald Trump who is not in favor of the work of these traffic-free preserves and politicians against the toll, both Democrats and Republicans.
