A Spanish company wants to convert the chitamiedos into biker allies. Promises to be as simple as effective

by

We are not going to discover anything if we say that chitamiedos are one of the great dangers for motorists and cyclists. For years solutions of all kinds have been sought. Among them have been proposed and installed Save them With double protection, Some even padded To absorb the impact and above all, eliminate the blade effect from the supports. There are also tubular options that follow that same logic of double and lower protection but avoiding the small pillars that can curtail members. Now, a Spaniard has presented a new addition that does not imply a new design of the cloakrooms. In this case, the objective is that emergency services can act faster and, therefore, some times that can be crucial when an accident is suffered. A connected alternative The system is called Plugsmart Pro And it is devised by the University University of Valencia (UPV) in collaboration with the Valenciana Metalese company is based on a similar idea. In this case they use artificial intelligence, environment monitoring systems and bidirectional signaling to alert drivers in real time. The system Analyze Constantly what happens around them and changes their lighting to warn drivers, bikers or cyclists that they approach a dangerous place, in complicated conditions or that there is some obstacle along the way. To do this, use some lights connected to each other that are installed on the wore. These emit a certain halo of light but when the weather conditions are complicated, the light takes strength. It is the simplest function because the truly interesting is in the monitoring of the environment. If the guardraíl detects that another vehicle is approaching, the flashes become more visible to alert who is on the other side of the curve. Also if, for example, there is a damaged vehicle, an injured person or an animal is crossing the road. If the system detects a dangerous object, the intensity of light increases. The invention has won the Ponle Brake Prize for Innovation in Road Safety in 2024 and this year the National Award Award for Conservation Safety. The companions of Motorpasion motorcyclethat from the DGT have already shown their support for the system. And it is that when the last great advantage of the system is that it can notify emergency services in case of accident. The latter is one of the incentives that the DGT has wielded to convince us that the V-16 lights that will be mandatory as of January are better than the classic triangles. That is, the system alerts drivers, cyclists and motorists that They approach a danger and its light adapts to signal its risk. But, in addition, it comes into contact with the authorities in case of detecting a blow with the intention that the response time from the accident warning to its performance is as much as possible.

The summer of San Miguel is here. The only problem is that the summer of San Miguel neither exists nor has it ever existed

by

We are at that time of the year in which Spain lives A curious phenomenon. Without prior notice, for no apparent reason: the thermometers shoot up to temperatures much warmer than normal for that time of the year. This 2025, According to Aemetwill also have its “temperature rebound” around the end of the month. That is, he will have his ‘summer of San Miguel’. What exactly is the ‘Summer of San Miguel’? What we know as Veranillo de San Miguel or Membrillo is a period of good weather and higher temperatures than usual that usually occurs at the end of September and early October. This is called for the festival of San Miguel, on September 29. But the most interesting thing is that none of this exists. What does not exist? Let’s go in parts: it is usually said that the Veranillo de San Miguel has no explanation, but the truth is that it is not true. Or, at least, it is not accurate. We know perfectly why The “summers” have occurred of the last 30 years: for two or three days temperatures rise to simply lower because September is so. The days are long enough so that, as soon as there is some stability, temperatures rise, rise and rise. In fact, they don’t even need to go up a lot. It is enough that they are only slightly superior to the previous days, so that we will talk about the “Veranillo de San Miguel” as if it were one more station. A huge confirmation bias made popular meteorology. As we said a couple of years agowe have a strong tendency to “favor, search, interpret and remember the information that confirms your own beliefs” and that translates into that, when two days of higher temperatures of the average for this time of the year arise, let’s see a “summer” potential. That is, in a phenomenon with a high probability (two or three days of good time at the end of September) we see a clear regularity – reinforced by the popular idea. Although the dates and temperatures do not always match, of course, a lot of those we have in summer are far from. But will there be “summer”? Yes, there will be: just before Gabrielle impact with the west of the peninsulathe country will enjoy a warm and stable atmosphere. And then? That summer is finally ended and these days will be his last bedroom. If traditionally ‘autumn’ is synonymous with ‘instability’ having a hurricane in the middle of the extroat transition to a week of us is to enter the fall through the big door.

The SEPE has a message for them

by

One of the concepts that are discounted every month of the payroll of all employees is that of the unemployment benefit that is entitled to collect unemployment When the company says goodbye. However, access that benefit It is not so simple As it may seem and the SEPE (Public State Employment Service) can refuse unemployment if a series of requirements are not met. Condition to collect unemployment: that they fire you It may sound like perogrulda, but the right to collect unemployment benefit in Spain is conditioned to a fundamental demand: that the worker who being able and wanting to work loses your job by Causes outside your will. This means that if an employee Voluntarily renunciation To your position, in principle, you will not be able to access this benefit, unless certain conditions are met. Such and as specified The SEPE, when giving up a job, the worker loses immediate right to collect unemployment. However, if after the resignation it works at least three months and is fired for legal causes in that new job, you can request the unemployment benefit accumulated in previous works. The regulations in this case contemplate that, even if the contracts subsequent to voluntary resignation are of short duration, provided that together Add a minimum of three months workedthe worker recovers his right to unemployment. For example, if an employee renounces his job and begins to work in temporary employment for two weeks, when he ends this contract, he will not be able to access the unemployment benefit. However, if he chains several contracts for more than three months, he could request it and access unemployment with the price he had accumulated in the employment he resigned. Again, the condition will always be that the reason for the end of these jobs be for ordinary dismissal, End of contract, not having exceeded test periods or be affected by an ERE. In any of the cases, they are causes outside the employee’s will. Another of the conditions is that, to have Access to that unemployment benefit has previously quoted The necessary time. Depending on the quoted time, the benefit may be received for more or less time, as detailed in this SEPE table. For example, with 360 days quoted, you are entitled to 120 days of unemployment. From 2,160 days quoted (about six years) you are entitled to 720 days (about two years) of unemployment benefit, this being the maximum stop of the benefit. “You fix my unemployment and I’m leaving” When the employee resigns, the businessman is not forced to compensate the workerand you should only settle your situation with the settlement to compensate for non -enjoyed vacations, pending collection salary, extra payments, etc. That is why, sometimes, both parties can agree to simulate a Disciplinary dismissal. In that case, the company is not obliged to pay No compensation (only liquidating the settlement) and the employee would have the right to unemployment benefit. However, this fetén formula has an important inconvenience: It is a fraud and, therefore, totally illegal. Such and as they detail In Capmany Abogados, if the SEPE or the Labor Inspection detects that a dismissal has been agreed, both parties would be incurring a crime of fraud and will face legal consequences. The employee would be obliged to return The benefits you have received and would lose their right to receive them. For the company, the consequences were not going to be very different. If a disciplinary dismissal has been agreed for fraudulent purposes, the company can lose all tax incentives and benefits for a period of up to six years as stated in the Law on Infractions and Sactions of Social Order (Liver). In addition, both company and employee would face serious sanctions with amounts ranging from 7,501 euros to several million euros according to the amount and number of affected. Exceptions you can give up and have unemployment He Workers Statute contemplates some specific situations in which the voluntary decline yes right to collect unemployment. According The published By anchor lawyers, among these causes are unilateral changes in the location of the job, substantial modifications in working conditions, workplace harassment or repeated delays in the payment of the salary. In addition, this exception also applies in situations of gender violence that force the worker to change their jobs, a situation collected Law on Comprehensive Protection Measures against Gender Violence. These situations collected in the Article 50 of the Workers’ Statutethey are considered substantial modifications or breaches that justify the voluntary leave with the right to unemployment acquiring the same consideration as An inadmissible dismissal With the right to compensation, provided that they are documented and adjusted to current regulations.

Russia’s order has triggered anxiety in Europe. Germany and France are already preparing for the worst: 1,000 injured per day

by

To the incursions of Russia in the European airspace that took place last week In Poland, Romania and Estoniaanother in Denmark has joined with chaotic consequences for airlines. NATO has raised the voice while Moscow seems to test the allied cohesion in the Baltic. In the background: a series of movements that indicate two things: anxiety has shot in Europe, and some begin to prepare for a war scenario. Denmark does not give credit. Denmark has described As an “unprecedented attack” the incursions of drones that have forced to close the airports of Copenhagen and Oslo for hours, leaving tens of thousands of stranded passengers, in an episode that encompasses the wave of aerial rapes and drones attacks in past days To Poland, Romania and Estonia. The aircraft appeared from multiple directions, alternating lights and then disappearing, and the Danish authorities attribute them to “a capable operator”, while the Kremlin denies it. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen He talked about The “more serious” aggression against a critical infrastructure of Denmark and did not rule out any hypotheses, opinion supported by leaders such as Ukrainian President Zelenski and by EU spokesmen, who see a pattern of reckless actions by Russia. NATO celebrated meetings Under article 4condemned the violations and stressed that Rwill effort capabilities and deterrenceand some officials already contemplate the possibility of more forceful responses (even demolition) if these provocations are repeated. France and preparations. In France, the controversy has exploded after a Publication of Le Canard Enchaînéwhich revealed a letter sent in July by the Minister of Health, Catherine Vautrin, in which she asked French health agencies to prepare for a possible “major commitment” In March 2026. The document urged hospitals to be ready to serve several thousand soldiers during periods that could extend 10 to 180 dayswhich included both French and foreign troops. The news, despite proceeding from a satirical environment, generated accusations that Emmanuel Macron would be secretly planning the country to the war against Russia. The extreme right, represented by the Eurodiputa Thierry Mariani, It went further suggesting that a conflict would allow to suspend the presidential elections of 2027. The official clarification. The Ministry of Health He did not deny authenticity of the letter, but he clarified his goal: it was a Preventive Planning Faced with possible risks and threats that could affect the hospital system, including the arrival of a large number of victims of an international conflict. The measure, according to the Ministerial Crisis Center, sought to guarantee the capacity of the civil health system to absorb a massive flow of military patients in case France, as a member of NATO and ally of Ukraine, was indirectly involved in a war set. It was not, therefore, a war plan per sebut an exercise in advance of contingencies. Germany and preparations. It happens that Germany It has begun To explicitly plan how to face an eventual large -scale conflict between NATO and Russia, the scene that many alliance analysts place Around 2029. Reuters explained That the calculation that marks this preparation is as sober as disturbing: up to 1,000 soldiers Germans wounded per day may require medical care in case of an open confrontation, a figure that the inspector general of Health, Ralf Hoffmann, qualifies as realistic based on the intensity of the fighting and the units involved. Ukraine lessons. The war in Ukraine has radically changed the nature of the injuries. If the bullet wounds predominated before, today the panorama is dominated by the devastating drones effectsMERODERE AND EXPLOSIVE MORMERS, which generate amputations, burns and multiple trauma. Hoffmann Underline That the “death corridor” of ten kilometers on each side of the Ukrainian front, plagued by hostile UAVs, shows how immediate medical evacuations have become almost impossible: injured should often be stabilized for hours under constant fire before being able to be transferred. How to evacuate. With this horizon, Berlin is studying Expand your abilities of flexible medical transport, inspired by the Ukrainian experience with hospital trains. It is considered to incorporate trains, buses and a greater number of sanitary aircraft, with the aim of guaranteeing staggered evacuations: initial attention in the front, intermediate stabilization and final transfer to hospitals within the German territory. This medical logistics chain demands a robust, decentralized and capable system under air and electronic threat. The plan contemplates that the injured receive definitive care especially in civil hospitals, with an estimated volume of 15,000 reserved beds within a national total capacity of 440,000. The coordination between the military medical service and the civil health system will be essential, and the medical body of the Armed Forces, currently 15,000 troops, must be extended significantly to face the magnitude of the challenge. The Kremlin and article 5. Explained the Financial Times That all this climate of extreme anxiety in Europe possibly responds to a Moscow tactic: to demonstrate that the NATO collective defense clause, Article 5it lacks real value. A hesitant response to a provocation could open the door to Russia trying to “break down” small European states without facing the block as a whole. Scenarios such as a land incursion under the pretext of protecting Russian minorities in Baltic countries are part of the recurring fears of military planners. To do this, Moscow has uncertainty that surrounds Washingtonwhose contribution represents about 40 % of the military capacities of the Alliance in Europe. The unknowns Trump. The American factor is decisive. With units of Himars Artillery And tanks already deployed in the Baltic, the military presence is significant, but the key question is what Donald Trump would do in case of open aggression. Distrust is mutual: in Washington some see the Baltic as excessively ideological and aggressive against Moscow, while in Tallin the vote of the United States is remembered with Russia in the UN as An alert signal. The president’s volatility adds an unpredictable element: as well as surprising authorizing Attacks to IranI could react unexpectedly in a crisis in Eastern Europe. Between fear and dependence.

A new generation of robots promises precision and efficiency. It also opens the door to cyberspage risks

by

The movement of the robotic arm seems impeccable: each turn, each clamp, each displacement occurs with the accuracy of a metronome. However, while these actions convey confidence in a hospital or a factory, another story is drawn in the background. The commands, although encrypted, let rhythms and pauses In the traffic that travels through the network. These patterns, invisible to the naked eye, in many cases allow to deduce the task executed. The same accuracy that we applaud in the robot can become a trace for external observers. Over the last years the interest in collaborative robots has shot himself. Hospitals are used as surgical assistants for their ability to make fine movements without fatigue, and in factories they have become allies for repetitive or risk tasks. Not only do productivity improve, they also reduce accidents by replacing the operator in hostile environments. The connectivity that drives its expansion, however, is also the one that can expose them to new vulnerability scenarios, According to a study in the University of Waterlooin Canada. Precision that dazzles in hospitals, a trail that can be interpreted The investigation did not focus on real -time robots by means Preprogrammed scripts. These systems receive an orders sequence and execute them with minimal human intervention, which reduces direct supervision and expands automation possibilities. At the same time, the way in which these systems structure high -level commands generates regular traffic patterns, and that regularity opens opportunities for analysis. The work was designed with a very concrete scenario: a passive attacker, someone who only observes the network traffic between the robot and its controller without deciphering it. The experiment was carried out with an arm Kinova Gen3a light robot usually used in research environments. The controller executed preprogrammed commands and the communications were protected with TLS encryption. With this assembly, the researchers registered 200 network traces corresponding to four different actions, looking for a varied and representative set. The authors began by converting network catches into temporary signals: instead of looking at the content of the packages, they analyzed when each one was sent and with what separation. Those time series were treated as acoustic signs, which allowed to apply classic signal processing techniques, such as correlation and convolution, which seek similarities and patterns in pulses and rhythms. From this transformation they trained a classifier that, in the closed environment of the test, assigned an action to each trace. The experiment used 200 traces on four actions and showed that, even with activated TLS, temporary subpatrones were detectable. Kinova Gen3 The trials showed that the method worked with remarkable efficiency: in most tests the system was able to identify the robot action with a success level close to 97%. This means that, although the orders travel encrypted by TLS, the observation of the intervals and the cadence can allow to rebuild what task it is executed. In a hospital, that could give clues about the nature of an intervention; In a factory, on the production sequence. A complete deduction is not always achieved, but the finding shows that the encryption alone is not enough. Although orders travel encrypted by TLS, the observation of the intervals and cadence can allow to rebuild what task it is executed. The finding acquires relevance to extrapolating it to real environments. In health, an attacker could identify details of a surgical intervention without the need to access the medical history, only observing the robot communication flows. In the industry, the patterns themselves could reveal assembly steps or Characteristics of a patented process. It is not an isolated failure of a specific model, but an alert signal on how connectivity multiplies the exposure. Each connected robot becomes a possible observation point. The researchers did not limit themselves to pointing out the problem: they also explored possible defenses. One of them is to modify the timing of the robot programming interface, so that the commands do not follow such a regular and predictable pattern. Another is to apply package filling and timing manipulation to hide the real rhythms. These measures could reduce the inference capacity of an attacker, although with a cost: lower network efficiency and, in some cases, more latency in the execution of the robot. Technological innovation always advances in parallel to the need to protect it. Cobots exemplify that balance: they promise efficiency and new forms of work, but also force rethink defense measures. It is not about stopping its adoption, but about doing it with a conscious look of the risks. Security and development are not opposite paths; They must travel together if you want the future of robotics to be sustainable and reliable.

The most ambitious shootings of the platforms are made in Spain, becoming one of the “sets” of Europe

by

Madrid has consolidated in 2025 as a global epicenter of the Spanish audiovisual sector: a powerful economic hub promoted by the film and television industry at European and international level. We can say that Madrid has become one of the most important “sets” in Europe thanks to multinational investment such as Netflix. Let’s review the data that are configuring this stimulating situation. Some data. The Madrid community contributes 2.6% to regional GDP Thanks to its audiovisual ecosystem (More than 3,500 companies that generate 29,000 direct jobs, with a global impact of more than 7.2 billion euros). This strong presence is supported by the advanced infrastructure of studies and sets and the presence of large multinationals such as Netflix and Disney, which have opted for the region as the basis of operations in Spain. Of all this has been spoken In the context of the San Sebastián 2025 Film Festivalwhere digital plans and cultural transformation have been exposed such as “Spain, Hub Audiovisual of Europe”. Why Madrid. There are a number of characteristics that make Madrid this powerful audiovisual at European and even world level. Among others, it has a great business and economic concentration (environment rich in producers, studies, digital platforms and specialized services) and an advanced infrastructure (studies and sets where more than 1,400 shootings were recorded in 2024, 32% more than the previous year). All this has the support of the Community of Madrid: 240,000 euros for 2025 and 2026 destined for initiatives such as the Audiovisual Observatory of Madrid or training activities for professionals. Netflix in Madrid. One of the clearest cases of implementation of an international draft model has been that of Netflix, which has just released ‘the atomic refuge’, its most expensive series to date, as told ‘the world’: During the filming 400 technicians and 4,300 extras participated, often exceeding the usual teams. The production was developed on the Vancouver set in Colmenar Viejo, which occupies 7,200 square meters, with large and multifunctional sets that can house up to 300 people working simultaneously in different areas. A considerable investment. Netflix will invest 1 billion of euros in Spain between 2025 and 2028, reflecting the growing relevance of the country, and especially its capital. Spain is the second European country where streaming platforms more investwith 2,000 million destined for production in 2024, surpassing Germany and France. Between 2014 and 2024, The average annual growth of the sector Spanish audiovisual has been 14%, a figure much higher than the European average. Filming tourism. The audiovisual generates direct and multiplier economic impact in the regions where it is rolls, from accommodation and services to tourism linked to shooting places. The latter has grown markedly in Spain in recent years, with 40% of travelers interested in visiting shooting placesaccording to a recent study. Destinations such as Madrid, Andalusia and Catalonia benefit from the visibility provided by films and series, which also boost local economies and promote cultural heritage.

An Andalusian Aena. And seriously

by

“Aena should end her monopoly in Spain and head towards a model similar to the British where airports of the same territory compete with each other.” It is easy to guess who those words are. Indeed, its owner is Michael O’Leary but it is more difficult to succeed with the date. Now, Balearic Islands and Andalusia begin to slide that it is perhaps a good idea. They have a proposal: end Aena’s monopoly. Competence. As we said, the previous words are from O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair. But it is not part of its last pressure measure to justify its march of some Spanish airports. These statements already made them in 2017. Obviously, His opinion has not changed since then. What has changed is the position of some voices within Spain, to which we are much less accustomed. These have come from the Balearic Islands and Andalusia who propose a new model: they want to manage their airports and, thus, plant competition to Aena who is the one who carries the singing voice throughout the country. Andalusia. “We are not very happy with how Aena is maintaining our airports. We are thinking whether to make a co -management agreement or enter the shareholding of a company that could develop an Andalusian Aena.” With these words, Arturo Bernal, Tourism Councilor of the Junta de Andalucía, his position regarding Aena’s work in his region to questions from questions from The confidential. Balearics. The position of the Balearic Islands is the same. Marga Prohens, president of the Balearic Islands, has already defended her position with An initiative not law. The intention is that there is a co -management between Aena and the regional government. One of the reasons indicated is that the works that are being carried out at Son Sant Joan are “quite inefficient”, in Prohens’s words. How does Aena work? Aena is the Spanish airport management company. It has so many aerodromes under its umbrella (46 airports and two helipuertos) that right now is the company that manages the most spaces of this type in the world. Its shareholders are 51% public and 49% private since the Law 8/2014 will let private shareholders into the company. Since then, Aena is still in charge of maintaining Spanish airports in the best state and, of course, making them attractive to airlines. Hence, for example, the rates to operate at regional airports are much lower than those in Madrid, Barcelona … or Balearic Islands, whose airfield are San Joan is the third most important in our country. Solidarity. In the article of The confidentialwhat the unions and defenders of the AENA model defend is that the company allows smaller airports to remain open despite the fact that, together, they are deficit for their low volume of flights. With its benefits, Madrid or Barcelona help Santiago de Compostela remain open and, despite Ryanair’s departure, new companies remain attractive to occupy this space. However, they emphasize that 49% private capital is pressing everything possible so that investments in deficit airports is the minimum possible with the aim of maximizing benefits. For CCOO, the ideal solution is simple: 100% public capital. And they emphasize: “Aena worked much better because all the benefits reverted in improvements in the network. The company generated more income to the state of what it needed to invest in airports. Now we have vulture funds in the shareholding.” Compete? What they support from the Balearic Islands and Andalusia is the same as O’Leary: the best model is that airports compete with each other. For the CEO of Ryanair, the ideal is that the airports of the same space fight to offer the most attractive offer to the company. What they want from the autonomous communities is to enter the management so that their airports are more attractive to those of other regions and have more benefits to their coffers. A few days ago, Maurici Lucena, president of Aena, He published a letter Regarding Ryanair’s threats to continue taking flights from the Spanish territory. It defended that Spain has one of the most competitive rates of the European environment, thanks to a very demanding regulation, which, among other factors, induces high operational efficiency of the company. “ On the other hand, the demand for Balearic Islands and Andalusia also coincide the announcement by the government that will invest 12,888 million euros in Spanish airports. Of course, of these investments it has only been pointed out that “9,991 million euros correspond to regulated investments, while the rest will go to unregulated actions (associated with commercial activity)”, without offering more specific details or more specific interventions. Are there airports that are not from Aena? Yes, in total there are four airports in Spain that are not managed by AENA: Castellón, Ciudad Real, Teruel and Lleida. In addition, that of Andorra-La Seu d’Urgell is also managed by Catalonia. The results are disparate. Castellón has not stopped accumulating lost Since it was launched. Its construction was a cost of 158 million euros. Ciudad Real also does not give benefits but, in this case, Its management is completely private. Teruel has specialized in its position as an industrial airfield. A hole has been created on the international map for its spaces of maintenance and repair of aircraft. Lleida is an environment used by airlines for pilot formation. Among other companies, here they operate Air France, Vueling and Volotea. Finally, that of Andorra-La Seu d’Urgell yes operates with commercial flights. However, the sum of both has not reported any year of benefits Since regional reins were taken in 2014.

Nuclear fever goes faster than centrals

by

Uranium, for years relegated to a corner of the raw material market, Live a rebirth. His prices have shot themselves and investors chase him with enthusiasm, convinced that nuclear energy will be key in an electrified world. As Jennifer Hughes said in the Financial Times: “Investors in Uranium and scientists should have much in common: both seek great benefits from a small starting point.” However, this financial euphoria collides with an awkward reality: nuclear power plants are not built to the necessary rhythm and bottlenecks are huge. A small and overwhelmed market. The spot price is around 76 dollars per pound, After having exceeded $ 100 at the beginning of 2024. Much of this increase is explained by a small market: most uranium is sold under long -term contracts and the immediate market space is very narrow. At the same time, governments accumulate strategic reserves. In the podcast Stock Movers Bloomberg They detailed that The US Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, wants to strengthen national inventories to reduce Russia dependence, which provides a room of enriched uranium that feeds the 94 US reactors. The result is clear: more uranium is purchased than the centrals can consume today, a sign that the geopolitical and financial appetite goes ahead of the real capacity. A spark that lights nuclear fever. Why this boom? The explanation is in global electrification. According to Bank of America analysts, by the end of this decade the world consumption of electricity will increase to 30%driven by the electrification of transport and the rise of AI data centers. According to the International Energy Agencythe data centers already consume about 415 twh per year – 1.5% of global electricity – and their weight will continue to grow with the expansion of AI. In fact, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, among others need abundant, reliable and carbon free energy to support their operations. Hence, technology companies have taken an unusual step: Bet on nuclear. The turn of many countries. Nuclear energy has returned strongly, even in countries that had a firm predisposition to the closure. Germany He stopped his nuclear blackout plan and Belgium made the same decision. Indonesia, despite its wealth in coal, included nuclear in An energy investment plan of 235,000 million dollars. And the United States He has decided to quadruple nuclear capacity recycling uranium. Today there are about 440 reactors in operation in the worldwhich contribute about 10% of global electricity and are the second low carbon energy source after hydroelectric. The wall of reality: the deadlines. Political promises collide with industrial limitations. The projects are usually expensive and slow, with deadlines that do not fit with the climatic urgency. To this are added concerns about radioactive waste and fear of accidents such as Fukushima, Although even Japan is willing to return. In fact, in the US, only three reactors have been built in the last quarter of a century, two of them with exorbitant costs and significant delays. Today there is no plant under construction and to meet the objectives of Washington it would be necessary to initiate the works of 20 medium -sized reactors every year, According to Morgan Stanley calculations. Even China, famous for its speed When he decides to investit takes between five and ten years to design, approve and complete a new plant. Russia, the bottleneck of the nuclear cycle. The big problem is in the phase of the nuclear cycle that converts the mineral into useful fuel. There, Russia is the dominant actor. Although countries such as Australia (28%of world reserves), Kazakhstan (13%) and Canada (10%) large uranium deposits concentrateonly Russia Master the enrichment on a global scale. Canada emerges as an alternative. With mines in the Athabasca basin, the country not only extracts but can also enrich uranium, which makes it a “safe and reliable” supplier. His new mine, operated by Nexgen, could move to Kazakhstan as the world leader of production in the next decade. For its part, this last country accelerate your own nuclear plans. Kazakhstan has among his plans to build his first central in ülken, with financial support from Russia but technological alliances with France and South Korea, in an attempt to reduce the dependence of the Kremlin. Expectations ahead of reality. Uranium has gone from being a forgotten resource to become a central file of the energy and geopolitical board. Prices reflect it and investors bet strongly. But nuclear infrastructure slowly advance, the dependence of Russia in the fuel cycle continues to weigh and social resistances remain alive. As the energy expert warns in its columnwho invest in Uranium expect “too much, too soon.” The true nuclear energy boom, if it arrives, will take much more than a rebound in contributions.

The language. The translation reaches the heart of their chats

by

We have all lived the frustration of not understanding with someone for a simple language. It can be on a trip, in a working group with colleagues from other countries or even in a conversation with family members abroad. In that field where words fail, WhatsApp has decided to take another step: Integrate translation directly in your chats to reduce that friction. With more than 3,000 million users Distributed by more than 180 countries, WhatsApp connects to very diverse communities. The new translation function is presented as a real communication response with less barriers. How it works. The process to translate is direct and does not require leaving the chat. Simply hold a message and choose the “Translate” option. The application will show the text in the selected language and save the downloaded packages to use them in the future. The function is available in individual conversations, groups and also in the updates of the channels, which expands its reach beyond private exchanges. Languages ​​and deployment. The new function begins to gradually arrive at Android and iPhone users. In the case of Android, the start is limited to six languages: English, Spanish, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian and Arab. In iOS, on the other hand, the fan is broader: more than 19 languages ​​from the beginning, supported by Apple’s infrastructure. Android self -translation. In addition to the manual option, Android users will have an additional function: automatically translate all incoming messages of a concrete conversation. Once activated, any text received in another language will be displayed in the language chosen by default. It is an option designed for those who maintain continuous exchanges in another language, avoiding having to translate a message by message. Privacy on the device. The deployment of the function is accompanied by a key nuance: translation does not abandon your mobile. According to WhatsApp, the entire process occurs in local and the company has no visibility on the texts that become another language. The measure responds to the need to preserve privacy in a service where users share sensitive information, respecting the security framework provided by end -to -end encryption. What does not translate. The new tool is not universal: there are contents that are left out. WhatsApp details that locations, documents, contacts, stickers or gif cannot be translated. In addition, as we have said, to use the function it is necessary to previously download the language packages and have sufficient storage space. Integrated translation is not limited to travel scenarios. It can be useful for merchants who serve tourists and need to understand orders instantly. In the workplace, teams distributed in several countries can maintain the rhythm of their conversations without depending on external translators. Even in the daily life of multicultural neighborhoods, the function adds fluidity. Until now, the alternative was going to copy the message and take it to an external translator, or use the translation functions of the mobile system. Both options solve the problem, but add intermediate steps that break the immediacy of the chat. WhatsApp’s bet is that everything happens in the same place where the conversation has already elapsed. Images | Mariia Shalabaieva | WhatsApp In Xataka | Send files among all my devices was a roll.
