If the question is “How to make a good prompt for AI”, Anthropic has just given us his guide

by

Anthropic, the creator of Claude, has published its definitive guide of Prompt Engineering. A free Bible that synthesizes years of research in practical techniques to get the most out of Claude. Why is it important. The majority of users barely scratch on the surface of what the generative AI can do, leaving below even what could benefit in their day to day, even if they are not engineering uses. The panoramic. The guide covers from the foundations to the most sophisticated. From how to be clear and direct in a request to advanced techniques such as Multishot Prompting or the chains of thought. Culminates with strategies such as the chain of Prompts complex And all enlightened with real examples of Claude. In detail. The nine central techniques of this guide function as a ladder: Clarity and direction. Say exactly what you want. Prompts Vagos produce vague results. Various examples. It shows Claude how to think with several cases of use. Thought chains. Ask Claude to think step by step before answering. XML Tags. Structure the answers with greater precision. System roles. The classic “You are a lawyer”, “You are a data analyst”, etc. To change the chatbot perspective. Prellenate of answers. Guide the tone and format starting the answer. The context. Anthropic explains that many of the problems with generative AI are solved with better Promptsnot necessarily with more powerful models. This is an attempt to democratize techniques that they only knew somewhat more advanced developers. Open the guts of what they know it works. For example. The guide includes concrete examples: Instead of ‘Create a Dashboard’, he writes ‘creates a complete analytical analytical dashboard with interactive graphics and filters’. For code Frontendadds specific modifiers: “Includes soft transitions, micro -interctions and visual effects that demonstrate advanced web development capabilities.” And for complex tasks, the guide recommends using XML labels as to structure Claude’s thought. The difference is in specificity: say exactly what you want produces much better than vague instructions. The AI ​​returns you what you give. Yes, but. There is an important nuance: this guide assumes that you already have clear success criteria and ways to evaluate results. Without that base, even the best Prompt It is a shot in the air. And now what. For developers, this is gold. For the user something else casual, It is worth dominating at least the first techniques for minimizing hallucinations and improving the results. He Prompt Engineeringthat some time ago it seemed a kind of black magic to invoke in a mystical way, it is every time a skill that can be learned, measured and better perfect.

The oil market is so broken that Spain already prepares its great weapon to fix it: remove oil via decree

by

They do not run easy times for the olive oil market. Or rather, they run paradoxical times. In recent years, farmers had to deal with bad harvests that raised prices and They punished consumption. Now they enjoy a good campaign that will overcome the 1.4 million tonsbut things are not much better. The prices they charge They have fallen so much that they have left them in a committed situation, with a Great hole In your income. Given that scenario, the government has decided to move and endow A ‘Nuclear button’ That, if necessary, it will allow you to stabilize the market in the 2025-2026 campaign. As? Removing oil if the harvest is very abundant. What happened? That the Ministry of Agriculture wants to anticipate a possible imbalance in the extra virgin olive oil sector. In view of The good prospects Of the 2024-2025 campaign and the fear that this abundance of fruit ends up impacting the Spanish market, the government has launched its administrative machinery to have a tool that allows it to re-may be rebuilt. As? Basically removing oil from the oil mills. Remove olive oil? Exact. The community regulations allow states to activate a “marketing standard” for the olive oil sector that “improves and stabilizes” its market. That general framework moved to Spain with the Royal Decree 84/2021which in turn contemplates that “when the conditions justify it” it is withdrawn as a result of the markets, reserving it for the next campaign or even dedicating it to a different use to that of food. The process, yes, is somewhat more complex and requires that the autonomies and organizations representing the sector be consulted before. And that is precisely what the Ministry of Agriculture has just done: open A public consultation so that those who want to comment on their order for the 2025/2026 campaign can do so. The observations can be sent until next Wednesday. And why do you do it? For the data that arrive from the olive sector itself. Although the crops of 2022/2023 and 2023/2024 were rather Parcas (666,000 and 854,500 tons, respectively), which contributed to the price of olive oil to be triggered in the stores, the current panorama is quite different. It is estimated that the current campaign, which started in October and will end in September, will leave More than 1.4 million of tons. In March the Minister of the Branch, Luis Planas, even He spoke of 1.42 million. There are who is even More optimistic and talks about major figures for the next campaign. And how do prices respond? If in 2023 and 2024, coinciding with the bad harvests, the price of olive oil came to be around nine euros per kilo in the case of the Aove, now, with a generous campaign, that value has been reduced to 3.59 euros. And so It is a problem For farmers. Juan Luis Ávila, from COAG, warned In May that while the consumer pays about six euros for the liter of oil, the producers receive less than 3.5 euros for the AVE, which would be below the cost of production in the olive groves. What is that fall? The million dollar question. Especially since farmers ensure that market prices are not those that should in current circumstances. “The data is overwhelming and alarming, since there is an unjustified lag of more than two euros per kilo between the real price at the origin of olive oil and the value it should have,” He warned in May Miguel Padilla, of the Coordinator of Agriculture and Livestock Organizations, COAG. To reinforce its position, the collective even presented A report which estimated that the Aove should quote 5.55-6.14 euros per kilo in the current campaign, far from what the olivicultores perceive. “Speculation Campa at ease”, regrets UPA General Secretary, Cristóbal Cano, who believes that there should be “a different pricaries in the market, according to the law of supply and demand.” What will the new standard be for? With its new order for the 2025-2026 campaign, the government wants to be prepared to “stabilize” the market with a clear strategy: withdrawing product. From the Ministry they advance, yes, that will only happen “if high production estimates are found that can generate imbalances.” I would be The first time That the Planas department activates the mandatory oil withdrawal mechanism to rebalance the market. What does the sector think? The EFE agency has spoken with several organizations, such as ASAJA, COAG, UPA, UDU or agro-food cooperatives, which the initiative see with good entrance. “It is absolutely essential to have all the prepared machinery. Until now we had not needed, but before a predictable good harvest we have seen the convenience of activating it, as simple as possible, to avoid the sinking of prices,” comment In DCoop. Not everyone is equally optimistic. In Murcia there are producers who They are suspicious that the oil withdrawal from the market to control prices is the effective solution.

A list of the best paid CEOs leaves us a figure of how the salary of managers has risen since 1978: 1,085%

by

The Wall Street Journal publishedThe list of the best paid CEOs of 2024. The list itself already presented some curiosities. For example, the fact that, surprisingly, CEO of great technology that accumulate stock capitations Superior to the GDP of some countries, they are not found in the top positions of this list. However, its publication has put the table on the table Huge salary difference which exists between the figure of the company’s executive director and the average salary of its employees. A study of Economic Policy Institute He has investigated The evolution of this difference and has discovered that, since 1978, CEO wages have increased 1,085%. He Salary of its employeeson the other hand, it has only done so by a fraction of that percentage. The CEO who won the most in 2024. According to the list published by The Wall Street Journal Based on public remuneration data of the companies of the S&P 500, the best paid executive in 2024 was Rick Smith, CEO of Axon Enterprise that bases their business on the manufacture of electricity weapons of defense or taser. Smith received no less than 164.53 million dollars in 2023. Just behind, we find some old acquaintances of this type of listings. Lawrence Cup, as CEO of General Electric pocketed 88.95 million, or Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone that received a bonus of 84 million dollars. To find What some of the technological CEOs chargedwe must go down to the fourth place that Tim Cook occupies after receiving a salary bonus of 74.61 million dollars. Rico worker, poor worker. Beyond the salary that each company wants assign its managers For the achievements, there is the background of the salary gap between the managers of those companies and their employees. In this case we are not talking about a senior manager should charge the same as its employees, but, proportionally, the remuneration of managers have increased to a greater extent among members of the board of directors than among their workers. In your report, The researchersof the Economic Policy Institute They point out that between 1978 and 2023, the executive directors of the main companies of the S&P500 have increased their remuneration by 1089%, while the average salary of their employees has done so in 24%. Exponential growth from 90s. The data reflects that the increase in these remuneration to managers has not been linear and progressive, but shot between 90 and 2000, remaining at those levels since then. Putting the focus between the salary of the CEO and the salary average of its employees, between 1964 and 1978 an executive director charged between 15.4 and 23 times the salary of its employees. On the other hand, between 1978 and 1990 that figure amounted up to 44.9 times and, from 1995, that figure is triggered until reaching levels of 398 times the salary of its employees reached in 2000. Since then, the successive economic and financial crises have made me make that That figure oscillates between 330.2 times and 190.6 times higher than the average salary of its employees. The elite inside the elite. This increase has not only occurred among the general labor mass of the workforce, but the CEOs have become a kind of elite among the elite. The study analyzes the evolution of CEO remuneration With respect to salaries of 0.1% that charges the most in companies, and here they have also marked differences following the same pattern as with the rest of the workforce. Between 1964 and 1990, the CEO charged between 2.6 and 3.1 times more than 0.1% of better paid employees of its workforce. However, from the 90s that difference is triggered until reaching 9.2 times in the 2000s, and reaching 9.4 times the salary of the best paid employees registered in 2021. What counts is your influence. The authors of the study suggest that the astronomical salary increase of the CEO is not due to their worth making business decisions, but responds to a consideration for the weight of the manager on the Board of Directors. How much greater is its influence And power at that board is its salary. “There should be meetings of the Board of Directors where people ask: ‘Can we afford to pay less to our executive director?’ assuredto The Washington PostDean Baker, co -founder of the Institute in charge of the report. An example: Elon Musk in Tesla and his enormous capacity to influence a board of directors formed by personal friends, former collaborators and even his brother Kimbal. Thanks to this ability to influence the Board of Directors, the CEO can negotiate more generous remuneration than when they submit to the scrutiny of people without direct linking. According to the authors of the study, this capacity for influence may have made the CEO establish salary increases for faster managers, “concentrating income in the highest and leaving less profits for common workers.” A salary detached from the results. At this point, it is easy to think that this increase is due to the fact that the CEO of those companies They have been geniuses that have taken companies to their best historical dimensions and that is why they are rewarded. However, the data They tell us something else And the researchers confirm “the salary increase of executive directors does not reflect an increase in the value of skills or in the contributions to the productivity of companies,” says the EPI report. In 2024, for example, the best paid manager was Hock Tan, CEO of Broadcom, with 161.74 million dollars. The Board of Directors justified its salary bonus because the company had managed to double its stock market value. However, Badrinarayanan Kothandaraman, executive director of Enfase Energy, received compensation of $ 19.52 million while his company left 50.1% of its value. Bag balls. To try to correct that dynamic, from the end of the 90s and 2000, many companies assigned company shares As part of the salary of its managers. The study data reveal that, in … Read more

The Telegram CEO believes that it has 100 “children.” And it will distribute its 13,000 million dollars among them

by

What does it mean to be someone’s son? If you ask Pavel Durov, the Telegram CEOThe answer is not only limited to the six “officers” children he has with three different women. In fact, it includes more than 100 people around the world. “How is it possible that a man who has never married and prefers to live only has so many children?” Hardov He asked rhetorically in his Telegram channel in 2024. 25 Telegram tricks to make the most The answer is simple: by sperm donation. During the last 15 years, Durav has frequently donated sperm, convinced that it was his “civic responsibility.” However, unlike many, Durov considers that all children conceived through their sperm are theirs, even if they are not present in their lives or know who they are. The latter is important since according to Durav, all their children have the same rights. An inheritance issue. Durov shared his opinion about the family in an interview with LE POINTwhere he comments that his will recently finished. From there comes the importance of how many children does the Telegram chief have, whose estimated fortune is around the € 13,000 million. “I want to emphasize that I do not make distinctions between my children who were conceived naturally and those who were conceived through donations of my sperm,” said Durov. “Everyone is my children and everyone will have the same rights.” A donation. That Durov have more children than a football team It is no surprise. Himself He told it in 2024explaining that it all started 15 years ago when a friend of his asked for a sperm donation. “I was leaving my ass before realizing that my friend said it seriously,” said Durov. The friend and his wife had fertility problems and needed help to form a family. Durov agreed, but the story did not end there. More than 100 children. “They just told me that I have more than 100 biological children,” he said in a post on his telegram channel last summer. “(When I made my first donation) the clinic head told me that there was a shortage of high quality donations and that it was my civic responsibility to donate more sperm anonymously to help other couples.” According to Dorav, his donations over the years have helped more than 100 couples in 12 countries. He added that at least one clinic still has its frozen sperm and available as anonymous donation. Pavel Durov (left) and Jakob Burda in 2016. The children: an obsession of the billionaires. Certainly, Dorav’s dedication to help others have children is not unusual among millionaires. In recent years, people like Elon MuskMarc Andresen or Peter Thiel have dedicated themselves to sounding the alarm on the “risk” of the low birth rate to humanity. The Tesla CEO has classified the low birth rate as the “most important humanity risk of today.” In fact, on a personal level, Musk seems to be committed to the idea to have all the children I can. The billionaire currently has at least 14 children of 4 different womenalthough there is the possibility of having more. Andresen, on the other hand, has declared that the planet suffers from a “Dramatic depopulation.” States that in an ideal future, the Earth will house 50,000 million (there are currently 8.2 billion). And what about poverty? According to Andresen, the markets will be responsible for financing social welfare programs. Although Durov is not as vocal on the subject as Musk and Andresen, it is clear that he takes it seriously. In fact, last year, paid fertility treatmentwhich is around $ 5,000, women who agreed to use their sperm in Russia. Distributing the inheritance. So what happens to that inheritance of € 13,000 million? I’m sorry to tell you that, although your parents suddenly say that Telegram’s CEO did have a role at your birth, you will have to wait a long time before seeing a cent of their money. Specifically, three decades from this year. “I want my children to live as normal people, who are worth them, to learn to trust themselves, that they can create something for themselves,” said Durov. “I don’t want them to depend on a bank account.” How can I know if I am a son of Durav? After all, the tycoon made sperm donations anonymously. Well, don’t worry: Dad Durov has thought of everything. “I plan to put my DNA in Open Source so that my biological children can find themselves more easily,” said Durov in 2024. “Of course there are risks, but I do not regret having been a donor.” Images | Techcrunch | Hubert Burda Media In Xataka | Change WhatsApp and Telegram for a European alternative: how to do it and what you should take into account

To carry out its greatest attack on Russian soil Ukraine used a tool as old as wars: bribery

by

On June 1, what seemed several mobile houses located at various strategic points of Russia were revealed as what They were really: camouflaged trucks with an army of drones prepared for covert operation. The so -called Spiderweb began, the greatest Ukrainian offensive on Russian soil, a devastating attack on the fleet of Moscow bombers. Now, almost a month after the attack, Ukraine has responded to one of the great unknowns: how the hell swarms entered into Russian territory. Redefining modern war. For more than eighteen months, Ukrainian intelligence services They designed meticulously an operation that culminated in an unprecedented attack on thousands of kilometers of its borders: An army of camouflaged drones in those prefabricated mobile houses, which were transported across international borders until they reach Russian strategic air bases. Now, Vasyl Maliuk, head of the Ukraine Security Service (SBU), has revealed the details of the operation in an extensive Interview with Washington Post where he assures that the attack destroyed at least 12 Russian aircraft, including Tu-95 bombersand damaged a total of 41 devices, some of them located More than 3,400 kilometers east of Ukraine, in Siberia. The satellite images analyzed by the post confirmed Partial destructionalthough some visual tests were limited by weather conditions, which suggests that part of the remains could have been removed by Moscow before being captured. How it was created. Maliuk explained That the design of the operation began in November 2023, in response to a new wave of Russian bombings on Ukrainian cities. The idea was to hide drones inside those houses Mobiles that simulate being standard housing units. These structures had to have autonomous energy systems (Solar panels and batteries special) to keep the vehicles unmanned loaded, even in extreme winter temperatures, waiting for the final order. Russian restrictions on the importation of technological components made a tactic as old as the wars themselves: The briberyin this case to customs agents to introduce the materials. No one knows (almost) nothing. Secretism, apparently, was total: each group worked with compartmentalized informationthe engineers who manufactured the drones ignored their real purpose, as well as those who assembled the prefabricated houses they did not know that they housed weapons. In Maliuk’s wordsit was “a tactical symphony” with multiple critical but autonomous parts. Surgical precision. Thus, the morning of the attack, 117 modified FPV drones with double explosive load They were activated from the mobile roofs of the camouflaged houses. Each artifact was directed by A selected operator Among the best in the country, who was assigned A specific objective: A specific plane, whose location and environment were studied with detailed models. Loads They were designed To penetrate the fuselage first and then detonate inside, maximizing damage to key points such as fuel deposits, missile launchers and electronic systems that Russia cannot easily replace. Although Maliuk avoided detailing the communication systems used to The remote guidanceconfirmed that they were multiple and sophisticatedspecially designed to avoid interference and guarantee success. Strategic consequences. The Spiderweb Operation It was just the first blow. Two days later, Ukraine He executed another offensive of wingspan against the Kerch bridge, symbol of the Russian occupation of Crimea, using submarine explosives of 1,000 kilos. Although traffic was restored, the coup had a clear symbolic and strategic effect. Russia replied With a massive wave of drones and missiles that reached civil areas of kyiv, leaving dozens of victims. Far from causing a decalized, the Ukrainian action confirmed A new level In the technological war and demonstrated kyiv’s ability to achieve very much within the enemy territory. According to MaliukSpiderweb is just a sample of the potential of Ukrainian intelligence to alter the rules of the conflict, and represents a logistics, technical and human effort “unified in a single structure.” The future of wars. It We have slipped On other occasions. In full Russian offensive, and given the constant pressure on Ukrainian cities, the Spiderweb operation Mark a milestone In the modern war. Not only because of the depth of scope (from bases in Ukraine to Russian facilities in Siberia), but also for The operational model: Fragmentation of knowledge between operators, bribes, use of civil camouflage, innovation in light armament and ability to launch high precision attacks without resorting to large conventional platforms. In words of Maliuk himselfthis is just “the tip of the iceberg” regarding the work of your agency with drones, networks of agents and undercover operations. In a conflict that is increasingly freed with bits and algorithms than with armored divisions, the offensive showed that the 21st century war is defined by who dominates the stealth, well above the brute force.

Years ago the “Paypal Mafia” redefined our vision of the Internet. Today the “OpenAi Mafia” points to the same with the AI

by

When Ebay bought PayPal In 2002 for 1.5 billion dollars, there was an internal earthquake. In the four years following the acquisition, only 12 of the company’s original employees were left. Paypal was a boiling talent, Entrepreneurship And brilliant people, and who “Ebay escaped” They ended up redefining the technological world. Now we are attending a similar phenomenon, but with another company: OpenAi. PayPal Mafia. This was baptized by the group of bright ex -employed PayPal who left the company to found your own startups. These projects ended up becoming true business and technological successes, and showed that in PayPal there was a lot of talent waiting for their own opportunity to undertake. The most outstanding examples of that mafia Paypal already make clear the dimension of that phenomenon: Elon Musk: The clearest example of how far the members of the PayPal Mafia arrived. He founded or co -founded SpacexOpenAi, Neuralinkand The Boring Company, in addition to buying a majority participation in Tesla and Acquire Twitter (Now x). Peterthiel: is the president of Palantirhe created the Founders Fund Investment Fund – which would later attract former partners like Ken Howery or Luke Nosek – and was the first Facebook external investor. Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim: these three former PayPal employees YouTube co -founded Reid Hoffman: He founded LinkedIn Russel Simmons and Jeremy Stoppelman: Yelp co -founded Yishan Wong: He worked on Facebook and became CEO of Reddit for a season David O. Sacks: Founded Geni.com and Yammer They redefined the Internet. These engineers and entrepreneurs were a fundamental part of the transition to an internet focused on consumers, something surprising especially after the bubble of the Puntocom in 2001. Rarely in history there has been a phenomenon in former employees of the same company end up creating one or several companies even more successful than the one they left, but there is a previously relevant previous example. The eight traitors. In 1957 eight engineers, fed up with his boss in Seticonductor Laboratory Shockley, decided to lite the blanket and create their own semiconductor company. They called her Fairchild Semiconductor Corp, and those employees They went down in history like the eight traitors. Fairchild had a huge success, but ten years later his engineers also looked for new roads. Three of them –Gordon MooreRobert Noyce and Andy Grove – ended up joining in 1968 to create a legendary company: Intel. The other Paypal Mafia is the OpenAi mafia. Those phenomena seem to be now having a new iteration, but this time the company of which all this new movement is starting is OpenAi. This company has become absolute reference in the field of AI, but on the way to achieve this there has been a true internal war and many conflicts between several of the engineers and their CEO, Sam Altman. Those internal tensions were the ones caused the dismissal and later return to the company of Altman In November 2023, but the company was not the same since then. OPENAI MAFIA members. Actually the divisions that occurred in Openai began very soon, almost shortly after the startup were formed. In fact, the first member of that “Openai Mafia” was also from the Paypal Mafia: It is none other than Elon Musk. It is a clear example, but not the only one, and the members of that OpenAi mafia are the following: Elon Musk: OpenAi co -founder that ended declaring war on the company and Sam Altman. Co -founded XAI Dario and Daniela Amodei: these brothers co -founded Anthropicthe company that develops the family of Ia Claude models. John Schulman: After being one of Openai’s main researchers, he left the company to join Anthropic. Others former investigators and engineers Openai like Tom Brown, Jared Kaplan, or Sam McCandlish also joined the company later. Jan Leike: This researcher who worked in Deepmind and OpenAi He left this company and joined Anthropic in May 2024. His work focuses on the development of a “safe” (“super -align”) and scalable. Ilya Sutskever: Openai co -founded and it was her Chief Scientist, but in 2024 left the company To create your own startup, Safe Superintelligence. Look Murati: Openai’s exco also decided leave the company something after Sutskever, and just Create Thinking Machinesanother startup of AI. Bob McGrew, who also left Openai recently, have joined that project. Josh Tobin and Vicki Cheung: These engineers also came out of Openai to found Gantry, another startup of ia. David Luan: After being one of the top engineering responsible for OpenAi, he ended up co -founding Adept AI Labs. Andrej Karpahty: After working on Tesla’s autonomous driving systems and then in OpenAi, this expert and disseminator ended up founding Eureka Labs. Many promises, few realities. The fundamental difference between these two “mafias” is that while in the PayPal Mafia those companies that founded its creators were absolute balls, the situation of those startups that Openai exingenier have created is an absolute unknown. Safe Superintelligence Ya raised 1,000 million dollars in 2024 and it is rumored that Thinking Machines soon It will lift 2 billion of dollars. None of them have launched any product for the moment, and in these new companies there is a lot of expectation – and, talent is supposed – but little else. The future will say whether the impact of these former OpenAi employees is comparable to that of PayPal’s ex -employees.

650 km/h in seven seconds

by

Next August 17 years of the Beijing Olympic Games will be completed. Games that served the country, as always in this type of events, to sell to the rest of the world. But in the Chinese case it also served to modernize the infrastructure of the country and project the image that we were attending the definitive launch of a new superpower. One of those hallmarks was the launch of the first high -speed line In the country. China opened its first high -speed rail line, then 120 kilometers between Beijin and Taijin. By then, in Spain we had been enjoying high speed 16 years, from the AVE Madrid-Sevilla from 1992. Japan did the same since 1964 when Tokyo’s Olympic Games also promoted The high speed network. 17 years after those first 120 kilometers, China is The country of the world with more kilometers of high -speed roads. They are followed by Spain and Japan. The country has passed through the right to those who were the great referents in the sector. And not only that, promises for the future are still surprising. A MAGLEV at 650 km/h While the country continues to expand its roads, the next great expected milestone is at the very high speed they can get with their trains. And the evidence tells us that they are on the right track. Or, at least, that they begin to have enough technology to position themselves at a little less level than unattainable. Just a few days ago, in the tests with your Maglev more advanced managed to reach 650 km/h in seven seconds In your laboratory. But the very high figure is not the only striking thing. From China they say that to reach this speed They barely needed 600 meters. The acceleration and detention capacity of the train is brutal because the test tunnel barely measures 1,000 meters. A ridiculous distance with the usual tests that are performed in high speed, with roads that extend for tens of kilometers. AND The promise is to reach 800 km/h as maximum speed. To get to this point, China also wants to be the undisputed queen of the Maglev. These trains work by magnetic levitation. The train travels just over the road, taking advantage of a magnet system that keeps it on the railroad but that allows it to move without generating friction on it. This allows Magleb reach such high speeds. For the moment, The fastest maglev in the world It reaches 431 km/Hy is in operation in the railroad that unites Beijing and Shanghai. Yes, the same that has managed to put the airlines in check because Your 1,300 kilometers journey just lasts four hours. For years, China and Japan live their particular space career. Japan has managed to exceed 600 km/h In experienced evidence but China is still ahead. The big challenge now is make useful trains that can move at this speed, to seek commercial viability to them and, above all, provide them with the necessary infrastructure. For example, The tunnels have a problem To travel at such high speeds because within them the train itself creates so high pressures that they can be annoying for passengers and, above all, compromise trains’ safety. Problem that China may be willing to save if it is about showing financial muscle and work capacity. If you don’t believe it, Danyang-Kunshan’s big bridgewhere the high -speed line between Beijing and Shanghai circulates, it is a good example of this with its more than 160 kilometers long.

Chinese government subsidies policies

by

Apple’s relationship with discounts in the West is different from that of most of its rivals, an almost philosophical issue. The PVP of its products remains practically unchanged throughout the life cycle. There are no more headphones iPhone offers, discount checks or promotional launch offers. There is a product with a price, and point. This strategy, key to preserving its margins, is flying through the air in Asia. Apple has had to surrender again to China to stop your vacuum drop. What happened. For the first time, Apple has begun to apply subsidies policy to electronic products within its primary distribution channel. In other words, Apple’s own website and its own stores have started showing They have selected products for a discount of up to 2,000 yuan (250 euros). iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Apple has not left a single product outside of Chinese subsidies, a movement that meets a very specific need of the company in China: stop collapsed in sales. Why it is important. Until now, Apple had only applied subsidies policy through third parties, in distributors such as JD.com and Tmall. A strategy to boost sales of key products like the iPhone keeping PVP intact in its primary sales channels. That Apple begins to apply offers in its most visible and direct portals attend to a crisis situation in China, with national rivals about to expel it from the Top 5. Why is it not surprising. Apple broke its golden rule at the beginning of 2025lowering the price of the iPhone in 500 yuan less than half a year of its launch. An unusual movement as a symptom of the battle to maintain its market share in a key country for the company. Although his brand philosophy is strong, Apple is willing to go through certain tolls to maintain its competitiveness in China. Their shipments fell 9% year -on -year and It is the only Top 5 that goes back in quota. Between 2023 and 2025, Apple’s sales have fallen in China, going from being the first manufacturer in the country to survive for staying in the top 5. companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi struggle for number one, and rivals such as honor, oppa and living touch 15% who threatens to take Apple from Top Tier. What’s happening. McGee points out in his book “Apple in China” How the iPhone ended up becoming a status symbol in China. Apple did everything possible to adapt to the local ecosystem, and managed know-how (Engineers, own equipment in foreign factories, titanic investment).

“Donald, you have taken us to a crucial moment for the United States, Europe and the world. Europe is going to pay, as it should be, and it will be your victory.” With those words he went in A private message Mark Rutte, NATO general secretary, Donald Trump, who did not hesitate to make praise public. In the background, that summit that It is taking place With the expense in defense of the 5% of GDP For European countries as the main theme. Spain still He has not said yesbut there is something that aims to tip the balance definitely. Reinforced commitment. I told it in Exclusive Guardian.

The decision, taken on the eve of the Alliance Summit in the beech that is taking place, is based on the conviction that Moscow could be able to attack an NATO member within a period in a period three to five years. Rutte also stressed that Russia already produces four more times Ammunition that all NATO Board, despite having a much lower economy in size, which requires an immediate increase in the resources assigned to defense and security.

He did it within the framework of the Shangri-La Security Summit in Singapore, where Breuer said that Russian military accumulation is of such magnitude that an aggression cannot be ruled out even before that date. The general explained that Russia would be producing around 1,500 tanks a year And more than four million artillery rounds of 152 mm, many of which are not allocated to Ukraine but to strategic reserves and new military structures oriented towards the West. According to allied intelligence services, these data reflect not only capacity, but a clear intention to prepare for a direct confrontation With NATO. Screenshots of the text message sent by RUTTE to Trump, published by the president of the United States in his social network Systemic threat. Breuer explained That Kremlin does not see war in Ukraine as an isolated conflict, but as part of a structural escalation against NATO. Hence recent hybrid attacks such as cable sabotage submarines in the Baltic, cyber attacks against European public transport, and unidentified drones on key infrastructure in Germany. The Russian objective would be to prove the strength of allied defenses and identify vulnerable points, such as the known “Suwalki runner”that strategic strip between Poland and Lithuania that connects the Baltic states with the rest of the NATO flanked by Belarus and the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad. In Breuer’s opinionit is essential that all the members of the Alliance understand the seriousness of the moment: while in Germany “smoke is only seen on the horizon”, in Estonia “the heat is already felt and the flames are seen.” The strategic plant. Had yesterday in a exclusive the independence kyiv A Russian maneuver that has been brewing to the heat of war in Ukraine. Apparently, its strategic missile plant In Votkinsk It has expanded massively, avoiding international sanctions with the help of suppliers from China, Taiwan and Belarus. This state installation, key to missile production Iskander-M short -range and intercontinental missiles such as The Yars and The Bulavaha tripled its production In a year and currently accumulates a sufficient arsenal to hold attacks for at least two years.

Despite Western sanctions, the plant has received advanced Chinese and Taiwanese machinery through disguised commercial routes. China in the shadow. Not just that. The medium stressed that, in addition, Chinese companies supply Key supplies such as titanium and fuel components. For Ukrainian intelligence, this industrial reinforcement not only seeks to replace what is used in Ukraine, but also prepare for prolonged war and expand the global nuclear attack capacity. Votkinsk, in that sense, represents the epicenter of An expanded network of Russian war production that already transcends the Ukrainian conflict and points to a prolonged confrontation scenario with the West. Missile transfer in Moscow Trump and cohesion. As for the meeting in The Hague, despite the historical tensions between Trump and the NATO, Rutte He has assured That the US president (who has publicly questioned the very existence of the Alliance) is “absolutely committed” to her, although he made it clear that Washington expects more effort from its European partners. The friction: Spain. We have already coming counting. The 5% proposal that is expected has not been adopted without disagreements. Spain He has refused Officially to formally join the common objective, considering it “unreasonable”, and has offered an alternative commitment to spend 2.1% of GDP, arguing that your national defense industry allows you to save significant costs. This position generated Trump’s criticism, which He accused Spain of being a partner that brings little, as well as from Poland and Belgiumwhich warned that granting exceptions mine the NATO unity.
