There is a place where renewables are gaining the game left over fossil fuels: patents

by

Thanks to a new project of GLOBAL RENEWABLE Watch It can be observed The rise of renewable energiesspecifically, solar and wind. However, this considerable increase in clean sources has managed to displace fossil fuels, and much of this advance is due to technological patents. The initiative. An analysis of the International Energy Agency (IEA) has detailed How renewable energy patents have increased 4.5 times faster in the last two decades, surpassing fossil fuel -based patents in number. Global policies. This increase is observed in the growth of renewable capacity and the policies focused on the commitment to achieve the Carbon neutrality. According to the study, support with public policies and public and private financing have managed to reach 60,000 million dollars in large -scale technologies, but some of these projects face challenges such as inflation and political uncertainty. A global movement. Now if you want to have a more open overview about which country has invested, the king is undoubtedly China. The country that has been leading the energy transition It has allocated half of its energy patents and more than 90% of its financing of risky capital to mass technologies, such as batteries and electrolyters. For its part, Europe follows a similar path, focusing on scale engineering projects and renewables have overcome coal. However, the United States has so far maintained a diversified portfolio that covers fossil energy technologies such as clean, but this can change the future By the current Trump administration. Other emerging sources. An area that promises according to the study is hydrogen. Patents related to the production and use of this new source increased 47% in 2022, with an approach to industrial applications such as transport and manufacturing steel. Particularly, in Spain hydrogen is taking the front as A future gas source and be able to export it through Europe. Future investment. From the study They have remarked The need to increase public investment in energy R&D, because currently the financing of the member countries of the IAE does not reach 0.04% of GDP. Researchers have pointed out that the future path is an international collaboration in development plus solutions. In addition, they have focused on other emerging technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS), intelligent electrical networks and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in energy management. But there is a bottleneck. On the one hand, long -term shortage of the strategic material supply chain and the lack of infrastructure in some countries. On the other hand, the withdrawal of some large -scale projects focused on clean sources, as the case of BP. Finally, in recent days a tariff war has begun by Trump, so It will be to see how markets open.

Justice declares illegal part of its advertising business

by

Google’s position as One of the most powerful actors on the Internet begins to crack under the pressure of the courts. The last setback for the Mountain View company has arrived with a defeat in the trial for advertising monopoly promoted by the United States Department of Justice. In a resolution signed this Thursdayfederal judge Leonie Brinkema has concluded that Google incurred anti -competitive practices in two key markets: that of advertisement servers for editorial groups (where she dominates with DFP) and the advertising exchanges of the Open Web (through ADX). Ads servers, such as DFP, owned by Google, are technical infrastructure that use many digital media to manage What ads are shown, when and who already. They are not the only market option, but one of the most widespread, especially among large editors. In practice, they act as the digital advertising command center. The second front is that of the advertising exchanges of the Open Web, the open environment where different actors, such as advertisers, agencies or media, bid in real time for advertising spaces. This ecosystem coexists with other alternatives, such as platforms controlled by Facebook or Amazon, but remains a key piece of the programmatic market. Adx, Google’s solution, is one of the main actors in this segment. According to the court, the company combined both products illegally For more than a decade, forcing editors to use all their technology if they wanted to access those auctions. That integration reduced the alternatives of the rest of the actors and left Google with the absolute control of the process. The question now is how to dismantle monopoly Brinkema considers that this strategy not only eliminated rivals, but also harmed the media, who saw their advertising income reduced, and advertisers, who ended up paying more. The sentence argues that any benefit derived from this integration is widely exceeded by the damage caused to the competition. From here a new stage opens. The judge has asked the parties to present a calendar to study the so -called “structural remedies”, that is, the possible measures that could be imposed following this ruling. Among the options that consider the Department of Justice is the forced separation of DFP and ADX as independent companieswhich would mean the heart of the Google programmatic advertising business. The sentence does not order that division at the moment, but the possibility is on the table. What happens in this phase can mark a before and after how digital advertising is managed. This part of the business meant about 30.4 billion dollars in revenues in 2024, approximately 9 % of the group’s global billing. Although the judicial decision does not affect other Google advertising services such as search advertisements, YouTube videos or Google Maps advertising, it does question the architecture on which its advertising strategy is supported in the open web environment, where until now it worked as a player who dominated all the pieces of the board. During the trial, the Court listened to media editors such as Use Today or the Daily Mailto advertising agencies, to rival technology companies already executives of Google herself, including the head of YouTube. All contributed information about how the Mountain View giant was closing the passage to other advertising solutions through internal decisions, conditioned contracts and technological changes designed to benefit only their own tools. The Department of Justice also denounced that Google eliminated internal conversations that could serve as proof and abused legal privilege to hide information. Although the judge has not yet resolved if he will impose sanctions for it, it makes clear in her letter that the responsibility for monopoly has already been accredited. This case adds to other open fronts against the company. In 2024, another federal court had already declared that Google maintained an illegal monopoly in the searches market, a process that also remains open waiting for possible corrective measures to be decided. In addition, the company has been sued in other states for the control of its application store, while the United States Government has also brought Apple, Amazon and Meta in parallel causes. Together, this new ruling against Google reinforces an idea that a few years ago seemed unthinkable: the era of technological impunity is coming to an end. For the first time in decades, the big digital platforms face not only investigations, but to firm convictions that could change the way they operate on the Internet.

OpenAI goes for Windsurf for 3,000 million dollars, according to Bloomberg

by

As he has advanced Bloomberg and has confirmed later CNBC citing its own sources, OpenAi is negotiating the purchase of a programming assistance startup to compete directly in the developer tool market. It’s about Windsurf. Windsurf is a startup with a programming assistant similar to COPILOT. And OpenAi is valuing a possible acquisition for 3,000 million dollars. Why is it important. The purchase would be a strategic movement to compete in the software development market in the AI ​​era. Openai would go into direct competition with Microsoft (its largest investor) and Anysphere, manufacturer of Cursora similar tool. This operation tells us something about Openai: not only wants a great general use model, but to move to at least one more concrete and niche product. Between the lines. This purchase can generate tensions. If OpenAi Buy Windsurf, it will compete directly with the suite Microsoft development, especially with Github Copilot, which dominates the code assistant market with AI. It would not be The first recent trenching between Openai and Microsoft. The context. He Rumore Rumore It arrives just after the launch of OPENAI O3 and O4-MODE and the closure of a financing round of 40,000 million. The IA developed tool market is exploiting. The trend Vibe Codingwhich seeks to generate code based on short descriptions, is being one of the fashions of the year. Windsurf competes in this space with cursor (valued at 10,000 million), Replit and Microsoft solutions. With only 40 million dollars in annual income (five times less than cursor), Windsurf seems more a commitment to talent and technology than for the business they already generate. And now what. The conversations are still underway and the agreement is not closed yet, according to Bloomberg and CNBC. If concretized, the shadow of American anti -protection regulators would soon appear. Especially for the complex relationship between OpenAI and Microsoft. For developers, this purchase would mean some questions about possible changes in the prices and integration of Windsurf with OpenAi APIS.

“Train” in a nineteenth century tunnel

by

Supercars are no longer enough. What really removes the hiccups are hyper -sports. Combine the SUPPORTIVE CLASS with technologies and benefits of the Formula 1like him McLaren P1 With Kers and Drs. But if there is a category that is taking off the beast, it is that of the electric with benefits that They seem taken from a video game. Specifically, one English who could have Batman in his garage. It is the McMurtry Spéirling, and its secret is a tuning in a railway tunnel of 1897. Craziness. The McMurtry Spéirling, or Spéirling Electric Hypercar, was revealed in the prestigious Goodwood Speed ​​event of 2022, and there he got some records. Before that, let’s spend the technical record of this car that is not as attractive as a Bugatti Veyronthe aforementioned McLaren P1 or its maximum electric competitor, the RIMAC Neverabut that is a rex tyrannosaurus with lamb skin. Of a lamb 3.5 meters long, 1.7 wide and barely 1.1 high. It has two electric motors that produce a power of 746 kW in the rear wheels, equivalent to about 1,000 hp. The weight is about 1,000 kg, which together with that engine guarantees a huge force. How much? As an acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h in 1.4 seconds or 0 to 230 km/h in less than 5 seconds. Record car. It does not run “much” because it is limited to 305 km/h, so that engine could give much more of itself, and is equipped with a 60 kWh battery that they wait to expand 100 kWh at some point, increasing to 1,200 kg the weight of the vehicle. But with what we have now in hand, we can talk about a car that is leaving the bar high. Very high. At the Goodwood Festival of its debut, the McMurtry Spéirling managed to spray the upload record of its traditional 1.89 -kilometer hill circuit with a time of 39.08 seconds. There have not only been supercoches and hypercoches, but also formula 1 like that of 1998 Nick Heifield. With the McLaren MP4/13, he nailed the clock in 41.6 seconds. In 2019, an electric prototype, the Volkswagen ID.R. He lowered it to 39.9 seconds, and it was the brand that prevailed. Since then, we have seen McMurtry Spéirling making All types of cars bite the dustincluding the imposing Ferrari Laferrari With an atmospheric and 800 hp V12 with Kers of 163 hp or spraying the Mercedes-Am One record in Hockenheim lowering time by 14.1 seconds. The test tunnel. And the secret of this achievement is the wind tunnel. High performance cars are analyzed in wind tunnels in which their aerodynamics are tested. They are cameras in which vehicles are static and it is the air that flows on them, allowing engineers and designers to test aerodynamics. In the case of McMurtry Spéirling, the thing is different because in its wind tunnel, it moves at high speed. The reason? Use a tunnel that could go out in any Batman movie: the Catesby tunnel. It is a railway tunnel of the Victorian era that was built in 1897 and has a line of 2.7 kilometers long and 8.2 meters wide. It is no longer used for its original purpose, and from its conversion It has become an ideal test line for two reasons. The first is because it has constant climatic conditions, which allows engineers to test the car in an environment in which they can develop systematic and precise tests. The McMurtry equipment uses equipment as pressure sensors around the vehicle and high -speed cameras, but it is best to be moving, they can put elements such as wheels, the damping or the great secret of this car under the magnifying glass: the Downforce or ‘soil effect’. Fans, your secret. Because … yes, in a car import all the elements, but when we talk about speed (and that is where the F1 are specimens), it is not so much about the strength of the engine, but how much the car can stick to the ground thanks to the aerodynamics to accelerate better or take a passage through curve faster. And if we see any video of the McMurtry Spéirling, something that attracts attention is that, both in motion and standing before accelerating, it lifts a trail of dust. There is his secret: he has two rear fans that generate a force of up to 2,000 kg. This presses the car against the ground, causing it to leave a Scalextric car and getting a great speed in the curves. It makes a F1 look slow. To get an idea, that aerodynamic load of 2,000 kg that the McMurtry Spéirling has from a stop is the same that achieves a formula 1 when it goes to 250 km/h. And, speaking of formula 1, the video that we leave below is one of those that make a smile of disbelief: In it, we can see spéirling against the Rimac Nevera and a Red Bull RB8. It is very interesting because the Nevera Rimac, which is another electric one that is in the same category, wins in the first test by tip speed because the spéirling limiter comes into play. In the second test, Spéirling has heated the wheels and gets a more tight victory, and in the third we see another surprising thing. It is a braking test in which we see that the Rimac accelerates and runs a lot, but it is difficult for him to stop. Here, spéirling achieves a performance very similar to that of Formula 1, whose braking is spectacular. And it has merit that even with Liam Lawson behind the wheel, that Red Bull looks like a utility next to the other two. Especially next to the great strong point of spéirling: the acceleration from standing. Do you have a million left? Currently, the McMurtry Spéirling is approved for circuit competitions, such as the GT1 Sports Club, but if at any time it is homologated for use in … Read more

50 years ago we discovered people whose blood did not fit into conventional types. We have just discovered why

by

We have been classifying blood types for more than a century as a function of two characteristics, the antigens of these and the RH factor. The four types of blood depending on the antigens (0, A, B, AB) and the two depending on the RH (positive or negative) allow us to classify people’s blood into one of eight categories. But as always, there are exceptions and one had intrigued scientists since the 1970s. Until now. A new blood group. A study led by researchers from the University of Bristol a new blood group has describedANWJ (positive or negative). According to the study, the key to this group is in the evil gear, a gene that encodes a homonymous protein that we can find on the surface of the red blood cells. A more complex system than it seems. The antigens surrounding the cell wall of the red blood cells are a pillar of blood transfusions. The presence of antibodies linked to this type of molecules makes some transfusions associated with complications. For example, a person from Group A receives a transfusion of a person from group B, antibodies associated with antigens to attack newly arrived cells. There are two key systems, AOB and RH Factorwhich are key since they are the ones that present the most diversity, and therefore greater is the possibility that a blood transplant can generate incompatibilities. However to date we have found more than a quarantine Of variants that, although they affect a small part of the population, must be considered. 50 years of mystery. The ANWJ antigen was discovered in 1972 but it has not been until now that we have discovered the genetic background behind the existence of Anwj-negative people, that is, people whose cells do not contain this antigen on its surface. This absence affects less than 0.1% of humanity and is generally due to hematological and oncoligic disorders. The evil gear. The team responsible for the discovery investigated the few known cases of ANWJ-negative people who were not as a result of any disorder. They found that this antigen was in the bad protein. They found that the hostj-negative people lacked full copies of the protein badly. “The work was difficult because genetic cases are very scarce. We would not have achieved this without the sequencing of exams, since the gene we identify was not an obvious candidate and it is little that we know of the bad protein in the red blood cells,” explained in a press release Louise Tilley, co -author of the study. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Blood. Less risks in transfusions. Knowing the different blood groups, including those that only include a very small portion of the planet’s inhabitants is important. The more we know about these groups, the greater our ability to Avoid complications associated with blood transfusions. “Now it is possible Nicole Thornton addedalso member of the work responsible for the work.

Spanish is more fashionable than ever in China. We know it because they are even translating reggaeton songs to the Chinese

by

Spain is a very popular country in China. Good proof of this are the 647,801 Chinese tourists who visited our country in 2024. Which represents an increase of 66.7% compared to 2023, according to published data by The reason. That euphoria for Spain also has its reflection in the increase in the interest of the Chinese to learn Spanish. One of the most obvious tests of that enthusiasm we have found in the most unexpected place: Notease Cloud Music, a streaming music platform similar to Spotify in which the number of translations to Chinese have been fired from the letters of the lyrics of the lyrics of the letters of the letters of the Reggaeton songs in Spanish. Spanish in Chinese classrooms. Spanish is living an unprecedented boom in China. According to the report “The Spanish: A Living Language” of 2024 prepared by the Cervantes Institute, there are currently about 54,283 Spanish students in the teaching centers of the Asian country. Of these, approximately 8,874 are learning Spanish at primary, secondary and professional training levels, while 34,823 are learning it at the university. The most striking thing is that 10,586 are learning it in academies and by other media and that is where the use of other alternative learning channels of the language such as the lyrics of the songs comes into play. Songs to learn Spanish. According to An elaborate study by the Department of Translation and Language Sciences of the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona, ​​Latin music, and especially reggaetonhas become a powerful tool for teaching and learning Spanish in China. The lyrics of the reggaeton songs are bringing students closer to colloquial and cultural expressions of the Spanish -speaking world that They have no representation In the academic field. According to the study of which has echoed Phys.orgnon -professional and users translators have shared in the Chinese music streaming application Note was Cloud Music Translations in Chinese of songs originally sung in Spanish. Some of those letters have achieved millions of visualizations, becoming referents for those who learn Spanish for free. A letter from Bad Bunny translated into Chinese China goes perreo. According to the data collected by the study of the Pompeu Fabra University, the reggaeton songs They are the most popular Among Chinese students seeking to learn Spanish in an alternative way, being the preferred genre for their catchy rhythm and colloquial language. However, the translation of the letters of Reggaeton raises unique challenges due to explicit content and the presence of colloquial expressions without direct equivalent in Chinese. To save these cultural and linguistic differences, translators use strategies such as domestication, the use of euphemisms and the creative adaptation of phrases to go unnoticed to censorship of algorithms In China. In China nobody “leaves you planted”. Colloquial expressions That we usually use in Spanish, such as “left” or “fuck”, have no direct translation to the Chinese, so translators have lay new linguistic bridges using their own expressions with a similar meaning. The researchers detected that, for example, to translate the expression “leave planted”, the Chinese translators used the Chinese expression “release pigeons (放鸽子). Traditionally, the pigeons have been considered messengers and, in the Chinese imaginary, release a dove that does not return is associated with a broken promise, approaching in a symbolic way the Chinese the meaning of the expression to the local public. Sexual references, so common in Latin genres, have also had their creative translation, and have changed “fuck” or “do” the original letters for expressions such as “possess” or “exchange pleasure.” In addition, to avoid censorship, asterisks are interspersed between the Hanzi (Chinese characters) to mislead the censorship algorithms (性*感/火*辣) when words “uploads” or anglicisms such as Hot, sexy either Horny.

The house is getting so expensive that in the United Kingdom there are already people opting for a plan B: living in ships

by

In the United Kingdom there are hundreds of people who do not live in houses, buildings or urbanizations. Nor do they have neighbors. Not at least in the conventional sense. In a country that has seen how housing It was more expensive until it turns Privatethere are those who choose to reside in river channels and rivers. They do it aboard barges of several meters that, although they are not cheap and carry their own costs, remain much more affordable than The apartments Of the big cities. And there are reasons to think that over the years your number It has been increasing. Living between ducks and fish. Sounds romantic, but that is the lifestyle for which thousands of British who reside aboard barges have opted. And there are some data that suggest that their number has increased over the last years. A few months ago The Economist public An article in which he remembers that the last census of Canals and Rivers Trust (CRT) shows that at least 2022 there were 35,000 vessels With a license to operate in 3,200 km of river routes distributed by England and Wales, a third more than in the last two decades. The case of London. Moreover, in London, where the “navigators” stand out between 25 and 34 years, their number has almost doubled in a matter of a decade. In Your report The Economist It does not specify how many of these barges are used as the main residence, but slides that it is probably a good part. In 2021 The Guardian I was A little further And he pointed out that Canals and Rivers Trust surveys show that, at least at that time, the proportion of people who lived aboard their vessels was 25% at the national level (in 2011 they were somewhat less, 15%), although the percentage would be higher in London. Is there more data? Yes. And although the figures vary depending on the source that is always consulting in the same direction. Although the British who have decided to change conventional apartments and houses for barges continue to represent a minority, in February Sky News placed their number in about 15,000. And growing. According to Boats.com the number would be even superior. Your data They estimate the census of permanent residents in barges docked in the rivers, channels and coasts of the United Kingdom in around 30,000 people. Price issue. The big question is … why? Why change the comforts of an apartment in the center of Bristol, Manchester or London for a boat moored to a channel? Analysts answer those questions with Several keysbut there is one that is usually repeated: the price. A narrow barcaza and in good condition with which to move along the country’s river paths can cost near 50,000 pounds. It is a considerable figure (of course there are much cheaper), but that is far from what an apartment costs on the United Kingdom metropolis. Reviewing figures. According to official data, in January the average price of a home in the country was 268,500 pounds. If we talk about London, that reference is triggered until the 600,000 tires are touched through a house in a room, which makes the British capital one of the most expensive cities on the planet to become a owner, based on The data of Global Property Guide. In 2023 the London mayor spoke directly about “housing crisis” and crossed out “scandal” that there were dozens of houses and unused floors. Is it cheap to live on a ship? Depends. Yes, if you compare the cost of buying a barge with that of acquiring an apartment in London. But that does not mean that changing the streets, urbanizations and blocks through the channels is available to all pockets. First because their owners pay navigation licenses. Second, because a boat has certain expenses rigged. Recently the tenant of a United Kingdom barge confessed To the Sky News chain that spends around 4,500 pounds annually in invoices, including insurance, hubs, coal, fuel and navigation permits. If you want to keep your home in good condition every three or four years you must also get it out of the water and paint the helmet, which costs you approximately 1,200 pounds. Money … And something else. Although money is a key factor, it is not the only one that explains that in the United Kingdom there are thousands of people passing (at least) most of the year aboard boats. At stake they enter otherssuch as the influence of pandemic, the rise of teleworking, the interest in traveling along the British coasts or a simple issue of taste, either as a permanent or temporal vital option. After all, in life aboard a barge, not all are idyllic moments. “I wanted so much a ship that I didn’t care to live without shower, wearing a cube as toilet the first months or running cold,” Elizabeth Earle recallsfreelance writer and illustrator who chose to leave the comforts of an apartment to live in a barge. Now reside in a centenary floating house of about 20 meters. “I have no one to bother me and if I want to leave this place I can do it tomorrow. You are always covered with bruises and soot, and there is a lot of mud, but you also think ‘go, I can make fire’ and load 25 kg of coal.” An option with challenges. Navigation, maintenance or supply are not the only challenges facing the tenants of the barges. Elizabeth does not pay mooring as such, but that has its ‘face B’: when opting for the “Continuous Cruiser” Your floating house must change location from time to time. In a similar situation you can see the rest of British navigators who have no right (or paid) permanent moorings and are forced to move between squares along the same river, or beyond, every 14 days. “We pay a license that does not equals a rent, but rather to the municipal … Read more

In times of fall in stock market, a luxury investment has become a “shelter”: bags

by

In times of financial uncertainty, generalized falls In stock markets around the world and the dollar losing credibility as a reference currency, investors seek refuge values ​​to protect their assets. The gold It used to be the safeguard In times of crisis, but a new trend has gained strength in recent years: the Investment in luxury articlesespecially exclusive bags such as Hermès Birkin. Get out of the bag to get into the bag. The attractiveness of these high -end bags signed by Hermes, Louis Vuitton Or Chanel not only resides in its exclusivity and status, but also surprise by their profitability. While actions and gold experience ups and downs, Birkin bags have demonstrated a constant revaluation of their value in the second -hand market. During periods of financial volatilityluxury bags, and in particular Hermès Birkin, has positioned itself as an asset of investment at levels of artthe high -end watches or the Classic luxury cars. According to the report of Art Market Researchin the last two decades, luxury bags have gone from being an accessory to what is now “the only category of collecting women centered.” Scarcity marketing. This investment model is sustained thanks to something as basic as the law of supply and demand. Hermès, like most luxury brands, applies a deliberate scarcity strategy with a very limited production of their pieces in which, curiously, It is the brand who chooses What products sell to your customers. The high demand for these articles causes waiting lists among their clients that can reach six years. The perception of exclusivity increases the desire for the product, which causes automatically revalue in the second -hand market when leaving the store. This is a phenomenon quite common In markets. For example, we live it after launch of the Sony PS5when these consoles arrived with counts to stores and doubled their price in the second -hand market or, at another level, with The Purosangue Ferrari. More Birkin, less gold. The Birkin de Hermès, is considered one of the best investments in the world of luxury, even surpassing traditional assets such as art or gold in terms of profitability and stability. A 2020 study Prepared by Credit Suisse and Deloitte, he revealed that the value of the Birkin increased 38% on average that year, far exceeding the performance of the S&P 500, which grew 16.3% in the same period. A study Baghunter compared the value of Hermès’ bags with respect to the S&P 500 and gold since 1995. The results showed that the financial behavior of the Birkin was much more stable and profitable than the stock market index and the value of gold, with a less volatile market and greater interannual returns. While the S&P 500 offered an average annual return of 8.65%and gold just 1.9%, the Birkin registered an average annual increase of 14.2%. A second -hand birkin: from 9,000 to $ 200,000. As with the market of the Collection luxury watchesthe high demand for certain editions of Birkin has generated spectacular revaluation. A Birkin de Hermès costs between $ 9,000 and $ 12,000, but can reach prices of up to $ 200,000 In auctions or specialized platformsdepending on its rarity, state and materials. In 2015, a pink crocodile skin birkin was sold by a record of $ 223,000, consolidating the reputation of these bags as high performance investments. The most expensive birkin ever auctioned was a Birkin 30 Himalayas with diamonds, than It reached a price of $ 450,000 in 2014. The Chinese offensive: the true value of the Birkin. In a context of commercial warfare like the current one, the boom of the Birkin as an investment has not been exempt from controversy. After the imposition of tariffs by the Trump administration, Chinese influencers networks They have started a campaign To demystify the value of these bags. During the last days, Tiktok and X They have filled with videos of these Chinese influencers directing directly to the customers of these brands by analyzing the manufacturing costs in China. The message indicates the manufacturing price of a Birkin of Hermès around $ 1,400, while luxury brands sell their bags for a price up to ten times higher than its real cost, feeding the perception that there is a speculative bubble around these luxury items.
