Quantum computers will change the world when they don’t make mistakes. This milestone is closer thanks to quantum gravity

by

Some experts believe that all the effort that is being carried out in the field of Quantum computing Not anywhere. One of the members of the scientific community more critical of quantum computers is the Israeli mathematician Gil KalaiProfessor at Yale University. According to this researcher, the increase in the number of states of quantum systems and their complexity will cause them to end up behaving like classical computers, so the superiority of the former will end up evaporating. However, the absence of unanimous support by the scientific community should not tarnish the notable effort and advances that many research groups are doing, some of them in Spanish institutions such as the CSIC and others integrated into the structure of companies that have very bulky resources, such as IBM, Google or Intel, among others. In fact, as expected, the latter defend that the long -awaited error correction will reach quantum computers and will allow them to face a much broader fan of problems than that of current prototypes. Terra Quantum bets on quantum severity to correct errors The main problem facing quantum computers in the field of error correction is noise, understood as the disturbances that can alter the internal state of the cubits and introduce calculation errors. The strategy for which many of the research groups that are involved in the development of quantum computers are opting for monitoring the operations carried out by the cubits to identify real -time errors and correct them. The problem is that from a practical point of view this strategy is very challenging. QMM technology reduces errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors Logical cubits represent a way to overcome the difficulty of the use of hardware or physical cubits, which are extremely noise sensitive, and, therefore, prone to make mistakes. Each logical cubit is constructed abstractly on several physical or hardware cubits, so that a single logical cubit encodes a single cubit of quantum information, but with redundancy. It is precisely this redundancy that allows to detect and correct the errors that are present in the physical cubits. The error correction strategy proposed by the researchers of the Swiss Terra Quantum company is not an alternative to the solutions in which we have just inquired; It is a complement. In fact, as explained in the article they have published in Advanced Quantum Technologiesits QMM technology (Quantum Memory Matrix) Reduce errors by up to 35% in current quantum processors. And, in addition, it reaches 94% fidelity using ten times less cubits than conventional methods. An important note: Terra Quantum’s scientific article has been reviewed by pairs. Terra Quantum has tested its QMM technology in IBM superconductor processors, and works. It only requires adding a quantum circuit that does not alter the architecture of the processor, although it is very ingenious. In fact, its operation is inspired by A principle of quantum gravity which maintains that the space-time continuum can be described as a network of me memory cells. It is a complicated idea, it is true, but the really important thing is that we know that this theoretical concept is the one that has inspired Terra Quantum scientists the design of their quantum circuit of errors suppression. Anyway, this innovation joins the effort that IBM, the MIT and other organizations are making to invite us to tie the future of quantum computers with a very reasonable optimism.

Connecting to unknown networks can be risky for your personal data. Protecting you don’t cost even 2 euros per month

by

It is a reality: cyber attacks have become increasingly common. There is a lot of undesirable loose looking to get sensitive information, whether large companies or a user like us. If we work from home or we usually connect with our network we have a safety layer, but what if we use ourselves A network on which we don’t have any control? The good news is that there are several ways to protect our Internet traffic, wherever we are. The simplest, useful and effective way to do so is to use a VPN, and if we can afford it, better bet on one of payment. In fact, There are very cheap: Surfshark’s barely costs 1.99 euros a month. Protect your traffic and IP with a good VPN As we say, it exists A good variety of free VPNperfect if we need to use something at a timely moment. The problem they have is that, in addition to being little safe, They work limitedly in terms of traffic or speed volume. For this reason, the ideal is to bet on a payment like this Surfshark, which also has a great price. One of the advantages that this has is that We can install it in an unlimited number of devicesideal to take it in the laptop, on the mobile or on the tablet (or everywhere at the same time). With this, we can protect our Internet traffic, thus gaining a greater dose of privacy. Moreover, it also helps us hide our IP, information that is better to keep away from undesirable. Surfshark VPN is included in its Starter Plan, which also comes with another tool called ALTERNATIVE ID. With it, we can create a series of fictitious data to use them on web pages where we do not want to enter our real information. That way, we keep our personal data at a good collection. As we have commented before, for 1.99 euros A month we have a quality VPN. That means that its two -year plan comes out for a total price of 47.76 euros, a fairly affordable price to have this tool with us for a long season. There does not end the thing, because we will also receive three extra monthsin such a way that we will have surfshark for 27 months instead of 24.

I don’t know any photography. But since I discovered this free app, I feel that my photos with the mobile play in another league

by

I am not a photographer. But I enjoy taking photos with the mobile. And, as with many people, my way of doing so is quite simple: When what I see on the screen convinces me, I shot. I do not usually touch adjustments such as exposure or format. Sometimes the portrait mode active, sometimes the night mode, adjust the focus if necessary … and little else. The photos I get with me iPhone 15 pro max They seem very good to me. More than enough for what I need. But even with an inexperienced look, it is easy to note that the images made with a traditional camera They have something very different. And deep down I took it for granted. Without entering the field of advanced photography, I thought I couldn’t get my mobile much more. Adobe Indigo, the application that made me change your mind The application that changed my mind is called Indigo Projectand it is an experimental adobe labs tool developed by two figures recognized in this area: Florian Kainz and Marc Levoythe latter known for his role in the development of the Computer photography that we saw in the first Google Pixel. Indigo – that appears installed – is designed to get the entire game to the iPhone with a pro sensor, from The 12 pro Until 15 pro max. What it proposes is a different way of understanding mobile photography, closer to what traditional cameras offer, thanks to a combination of AI algorithms and intelligent processing. How exactly does it work? Indigo does not take a single photo, but several, which later Combine automatically To reduce noise, improve dynamic range and offer a cleaner and more realistic image. All this happens after pressing the shot button. Nothing else. One of its virtues is that it adapts well both to those who only want to point and shoot and those who prefer to control each aspect of the process. The app allows you to configure manual approach, exposure time, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance, with tools such as a precision magnifying glass or the possibility of calibrating the color by playing a neutral gray object. Comparison: Photo captured with the iPhone camera (left) and with indigo (right) Comparison: Photo captured with the iPhone camera (left) and with indigo (right) In this article I show some comparisons. On the left, images taken with the iPhone camera app. On the right, the same scenes captured with indigo. At first glance, the difference is remarkable: less artificial overexposure, less noise, warmer and more natural colors, skies that resemble real ones. Comparison: Photo captured with the iPhone camera (left) and with indigo (right) Comparison with cuts: photo captured with the iPhone chamber (left) and with indigo (right) Of course, it should be taken into account a couple of details. The images take a few seconds to process and, during that time, the phone is heated. There is also an impact on battery consumption if many photos are taken in a row. It’s nothing serious, but it’s there. Since I started using Indigo, the usual chamber app has passed to the background. Not because I have become a photographer, but because I finally feel that the photos I take with my mobile They get closer to what he wanted to capture from the beginning.

We are running out of beaches on the planet. And we don’t realize because they are filling them at an indecent price

by

There is something much worse than the appearance of algae either Fecal matter On the beaches. Even above of systematic “theft” That is being done on the coasts to continue raising brick, there is a silent reality whose ending is a scenario where, directly, we run out of beaches on the planet. That process is not just happening, we are spending a fortune at all. Global threat. I told this week The Financial Times In an extensive report. Rodanthein the Outer Banks of North Carolina, exemplifies the serious erosion suffered They have collapsed at sea. The problem, aggravated by more intense storms, strong tides and the rise in the level of the sea associated with climate change, is now amplified by a critical factor: the Sand scarcityresource that acts as a natural barrier to floods and temporal, but whose growing demand (especially For construction) it more expensive and limits its availability. The (no) trick. He method More common to stop erosion has been the “beach regeneration”, moving sand From other points, but in Rodanthe the initial cost would exceed 40 million dollarssomething unassumable for the municipality. This leaves as options the planned withdrawal of infrastructure or resistance until the waves dictate the end. Erosion as a structural challenge. Of course, there is a lot more. Cities such as Miami, Barcelona or the Australian Gold Coast face constant sand losses that threaten their beaches, vital for tourism and local economy. In Barcelona, erosion annual 30,000 m³ It is aggravated with each temporary, and although dikes and breakwaters have been added, the setback continues. In the Gold CoastCyclone Alfred in March started so much sand that left stretches of the retaining wall; Restoring the coast will cost three years and 40 million Australian dollars. The dilemma It is global: 10% of the population lives less than 5 km of the coast and urbanization slows the natural flows of sand, aggravating the problem. Rodanthe Steal sand. And yes, even scientists already They have warned On several occasions that sustaining beaches artificially is increasingly difficult and extremely expensive, and that in some cases it would be more sensible to allow the coastline to migrate inland, although socially and politically complex. Gold Coast The dilemma of providing sand. Regeneration It has advantages in front of rigid structures such as retaining walls, which can intensify erosion in adjacent areas. However, it is temporary and its duration depends on local geology, climate and human pressure: some beaches require new contributions every two years, others last a decade. In the United States, where it has been applied for a century, they have been treated almost 600 beachesreaching a maximum of 50 million m³ in 2019. The problem? That the search for proper sand It is complicated: In North Carolina, local reserves are exhausted, in Miami transport is used from inside, and environmental objections, such as marine habitats, delay projects. Plus: Powerful storms can erase millionaire investments. Perspectives and answers. In places with moderate erosion or abundant reserves, such as the Netherlands, regeneration is a State policy: The country invests the 0.3% of your GDP Annual in flood risk management and has 12 million m³ of sand available every year, sufficient to protect entire cities. On the other hand, in areas with severe erosion and overflowing costs, planned withdrawal can be the only viable output, implying controlled expropriations and demolitions. The Times told that in Rodanthe, the National Parks Service acquired and demolished two houses valued in millions to return the land to public use, but There are no funds For more purchases. Many residents, aware of living in the “land of changing sands”, assume that the sea will gain ground and prepare to sell when the water reaches wetlands. Battle against time (and economy). In short, the Sand scarcityits increase and the increase in coastal erosion draw a future in which to keep the current beaches looks like it is unfeasible for many communities. Although Regeneration It remains the preferred option to protect local properties and economies, its physical, financial and environmental limits. rethink strategies. The dilemma between spending more and more to contain the sea or yield terrain to nature will mark the future of much of the inhabited coasts, and the margin of maneuver is narrowed as the climate and the demand for sand accelerate the process.

If you don’t want your pet anymore, eat it your lions

by

The Aalborg Zoo, in Northern Denmark, has launched an unusual and controversial call on their social networks: asks the owners of domestic animals to donate them as food for predators of the enclosure, such as European lynx, lions, tigers and African wild dogs. The proposal, Posted on your Facebook pagehas generated an intense debate in both Denmark and internationally. Is it a practice consistent with nature? Or is it an unacceptable cost of pets? What exactly ask for? The process is regulated and explained in detail in The Zoo’s own website. Anyone can donate up to four small animals – as rabbits, chickens or guinea pigs. In the case of horses, specific requirements are required: the animal must have a passport, not having received medication and going through a previous evaluation. It is also indicated that there could be waiting list, since the zoo needs vary during the year. Nowhere do they talk about dogs or cats. In fact, they have nuanced that all animals are “soft” euthanized by trained personnel, and are then used as food. As they have clarified in the Facebook post: “In this way, nothing is wasted, and we ensure the natural behavior, nutrition and well -being of our predators.” Is there no other method? As explained from the institution, the initiative seeks to recreate a food chain as close as possible to nature. The Zoo Deputy Director, Pia Nielsen, has declared The Guardian: “When raising carnivores, it is necessary to provide meat, preferably with hair, bones … to have a diet as natural as possible.” The case of the European lynx is especially illustrative: this species requires entire dams, as similar as possible to those that would hunt. Therefore, the zoo justifies that this type of food favors its well -being, stimulates natural behaviors and prevents the use of processed or frozen meats. As has detailed in Euronews The scientific head of the zoo, Anette Sofie Warncke Nutzhorn: “We have always done it, and we see it as something very natural. We prefer this to bury animals and waste the meat.” And an inevitable question. Is it legal to donate live animals to be used as food? The answer is yes, it is legal in Denmark under certain conditions. The 2013 Animal Welfare Law It requires that animals should be treated with respect, with adequate conditions of care and without suffering unnecessary pain. In this context, the sacrifice of animals donated to the zoo is allowed if it is ethically justified and carried out by professionals. In addition, Denmark counts With a B rating in the animal protection index of World Animal Protectionwhich means that it has moderately strong legislation regarding the rights and well -being of animals. In contrast, in countries such as Spain or Germany this practice would be hardly socially accepted, although not always illegal, depending on the destination of the animal and the sacrifice process. The controversy explodes. The Facebook publication caused an avalanche of reactions. Some users considered it a “sickly” proposal or a “terrible trend of indifference with animals.” However, others defended it firmly, arguing that it is better for animals to serve to feed others instead of being buried or discarded. It should be noted that a user wrote sarcastically in the comments: “What if you have tired of some of your children these holidays?” To which the zoo responded with humor: “Your children are very welcome in the zoo, but not as food … here we only accept animals with feathers or skin” On the other hand, some people shared their positive experiences. A woman, Signe Flyvholm, He has commented to New York Times who thought of donating her horse to the zoo: “She could make a difference being used as food.” However, due to its size, it ended up donating it to an organization that made it biofuel and fertilizer. It is not the first time. As Euronews has pointed outrecalls the known case occurred in 2014, when the Copenhagen Zoological Euthanasio to a healthy giraffe called Marius, whose genetics was already overrepresented. The animal was then publicly dissected and fed to the lions. Shortly after, four lions were also sacrificed to avoid territorial conflicts. Just a year ago, a zoo in Nuremberg, Germany, caused another scandal by sacrificing 12 healthy baboons for lack of space and feeding the lions, in front of the public. Activists protested even chaining the tickets. Does the end justify the media? The case of the Aalborg Zoo opens a complex and urgent issue on the limits between animal welfare, ecological ethics and human sensitivity. Is it more respectful to allow a dead animal to feed another? Or is it an unjustifiable reification of domestic animals? The practice may seem brutal in the eyes of many, but reflects a logic consistent with biology and wildlife management in captivity. Even so, it is not exempt from controversy, especially when what is put into play are pets, animals traditionally loved by people. Be that as it may, the debate is open. And the Aalborg Zoo, voluntarily or involuntarily, has revealed a moral fracture that divides not only Denmark, but the entire world.

I’ve been paying Youtube Premium for years and I don’t regret it. The problem is that going back is impossible

by

I do not know since when I have Premium YouTube, but the first track in my mail is a cancellation notice of September 2018. Spoiler: At two months I went back to discharge. There is something uncomfortable for many people to admit that you pay for Youtube premium. It is like confessing that you have gone to a sophisticated blackmail. But here I am. I keep paying, and I don’t regret it. I took the step after an annoying epiphany: I was watching a long video and interrupted me for the fifth time with an ad. It was not just the discomfort, but The feeling of being manipulated by an algorithm that had calculated exactly how much I could torture me before he left the platform. Google knows that YouTube is a de facto monopoly and acts as such. Youtube premium changed how consumption content. Without interruptions, I can follow long documentaries without losing the thread. The platform was a library of knowledge again, not a sequence of advertising cuts. The creators who continue to charge more with my subscription than with ads. And as a gift comes YouTube Musickilling two birds of a shot: perfect to solve The Garminoblivious to Apple Music. The model is perverse but effective: degrade the free experience to make it annoying and then sell the solution. It works because YouTube has trained a whole generation to tolerate constant interruptions. We have normalized to cut our thought Every three minutes. But here comes the most insidious: Premium is an entrance drug to an interruption without interruptions. Once that experience tests, go back it becomes impossible. Google knows it. They have hooked not only to their content, but to their version of digital comfort. That accumulated time and constant interruptions are worth more than what the subscription costs. Each announcement avoided is time that I dedicate to something that really interests me. Pure self -defense in an economy that monetizes our attention. I’ve been paying for years and I will continue to do so. Not because the system seems fair to me, but because I have decided that my mental tranquility is worth more than my resistance. In the era of digital monopolies, this is the closest thing to freely choosing that we are going to get.

Weddings where they don’t work alcohol

by

In the middle of a dance floor surrounded by dim lights and tables decorated with wild flowers, someone asks for a “red fruits mocktail with basil.” There is no toast with cava, or white wine glasses. In short, there is no alcohol. And more and more weddings are rewriting the bridal script: goodbye to the champagne, hello to the mocktails with a hibiscal flower and the dance tracks without stumbling. How without alcohol? More and more couples are consciously deciding to eliminate alcohol from their celebrations. The motivations are diverse: healthy lifestyle, background of addictions, religious reasons, or simply the desire to avoid the typical drunk drama at the party. In a report for The Wall Street JournalGracie Giambrone, a marketing professional in Tampa (Florida), summarizes it clearly: “If it’s a day on us, it makes no sense to put alcohol just to please others.” Instead of a open bar, he will opt for live chefs cooking Paella and a handmade coffee station. Tradition vs Trend. Here comes the clash. Some guests do not understand it and do not hide it, as is the case of American influencer Siobhan McCaffrey. Interview by the American media did not hesitate to qualify the experience as “the worst wedding of his life” after attending a celebration in Paris. “Your wedding is not just about you, it is also about creating a good experience for others,” also declared the WSJ. And, despite the growth of the sober movement, most weddings continue to bet on alcohol. According to the Wedding Wedding Sector Report.in Spain 94% of couples claim to have served alcohol in their celebration. In addition, for 81%, it is still directly “essential.” A slight change. However, there are nuances: only 58% of couples hired Barra Break for the final party, a slight drop compared to the previous year. And most interesting: the mocktails, without alcohol, are booming. “More and more work so that they are up to alcohol classics,” has pointed out in the newspaper Albert de O’Drink Molecular cocktails. In fact, in his letter, one third of cocktails are already without alcohol. The debate is spilled in networks. The Argentine influencer Sol Carlos, with more than seven million followers on Tiktok, was a trend for a radical decision: his wedding I wouldn’t have a drop of alcohol. “Neither my partner nor I almost ever took. Maybe that money we invest in a show where we all enjoy,” he said in one of his most commented videos (now not available). The reactions soon. Some supported their decision with a blunt “The wedding is yours.” Others asked for a “midpoint”: some alcohol, but without excesses. Also She was criticized for her intention not to invite children: “In several weddings that I was, the children destroyed decorations and nobody tells them anything,” he argued. The truth is that the debate no longer revolves around what is drinking, but how we redefine the meaning of the party. There is a generational change. Behind this trend there is a new generation that begins to reconfigure the ecosystem. Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, already represents almost 20% of couples who marry in Spain, According to Bodas.net. And with them comes a new way of celebrating: more customization, less protocol, and a different relationship with consumption. As we have already detailed in Xatakathis generation stars in a new underground of leisure that includes raves without alcohol, rest zones and sensory experiences designed to “heal a broken generation for stress.” For many young people, getting drunk is no longer synonymous with having fun, and emotional and physical well -being prevails even on holidays. Rewriting weddings. And it is not just alcohol that is changing. Also the menus. In full explosion of conscious food, vegan weddings have gained prominence. This was shown by the tiktoker @rocio.girasol, which narrated a 100% vegan banquet: ham and cheese without animal origin, cauliflower croquettes, vegan gossip and chocolate brownies. Although the opinions were divided, the video exceeded 25,000 views. The debate is the same: is it all at a wedding, if it reflects the identity of the couple? What do you get for? Maybe the answer is there, because they are finally ceasing to be crowded rituals to become personal expressions. Some couples choose classic luxury, others prefer fair -type celebrations or intimate parties with sustainable decoration. The important thing is no longer to meet others, but feel represented. And that is very good. But it should also be remembered the context: today weddings are no longer only emotional rituals, but events of high economic, logistics and social voltage. In Spain, more than 160,000 weddings are celebrated a year, According to the INEwith an average expenditure per link that exceeds 20,000 euros. Guests, meanwhile, usually assume gifts Between 150 and 250 euroseven if the wedding does not feel like it, it does not suck them or not remotely close. They go because “it’s what touches.” In the midst of that emotional and financial machinery, alcohol had remained the only collective consolation. The open bar was the prize: what justified the expense, the hours of travel and to the ill -ironed shirt. And now, that also disappears. This new generation not only changes the menu or the protocol: it eliminates the agreed drunkenness. Is it a revolution or a betrayal? It depends on who you ask. But if you are going to marry you and yours, do not forget that there are many others that – although they don’t say it – are there only for you.

“I don’t know if I want my children to see short videos and are not able to see something more than 15 minutes”

by

The arrival of the new short videos formats driven by platforms such as Tiktok or Instagram has dragged YouTube and other social networks to adopt the same content format Based on the infinity scroll. That change has generated a growing concern among the pioneers themselves in online video. Steve Chen, co -founder of YouTube, has shown his doubts as a father and user with respect to this format of short fast consumption videos that Pop for all attention of the user. “I think Tiktok is entertainment, but it’s pure entertainment,” Chen said. Use and throw content. Within the framework of A talk with students From the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the YouTube co -founder was not fully comfortable with the idea that their young children grow up watching videos of a few seconds. “I do not know if I want my children to see short format content as their only form of entertainment, and that they are not able to see something that lasts more than 15 minutes,” Chen, father of two children confessed, answering the questions of Stanford’s students. These statements show a growing concern among parents: children are digital native, but that does not guarantee that they develop skills or have the necessary tools for the responsible consumption of content served in Infinite Scroll Format demanding of constant attention. The child’s attention capacity. Chen also insisted on an argument that has become frequent among researchers: excess short content can alter the capacity to concentrate, especially among the youngestaccording to published by The Guardian. “The shortest format content is equivalent to lower attention capacity,” Chen said in his response. This type of highly visual videos were described by the engineer as a simple entertainment that does not necessarily provide educational or formative value, but with a high risk of affecting The attention capacity and to the cognitive development of the youngest when exposed to increasingly brief and addictive stimuli. Screen time control. One of the situations that most disturb Chen is the role of algorithms in foster digital addiction. As explained by the founder of YouTube, many platforms depend economically that users, including children, spend as long as possible connected. “It is a delicate balance between what attracts user attention and what generates more income, compared to what is really useful,” he warned. Faced with this risk, Chen openly suggested that technology should “consider limiting the daily use time of these applications, according to the age of users.” Extended concern. Steve Chen is not the only leader in the digital field that has ruled on the risks of the doomscrolling. Sam Altman, who premiered paternity in February, was also worried about The first podcast OpenAI for the impact of social networks In younger users. “I am worried about children in technology. I think that short videos inject dopamine; it seems that children’s brain development is deeply affecting,” said Openai’s founder. In that same idea, the social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of the Super Survents coincides ‘The anxious generation’ and professor at the University of New York, which in different interventions has warned sharply: “Social networks are seriously damaging children in the western world,” in statements collected by Business Insider. The expert has also warned that “the destruction of human care worldwide could be an even greater cost for humanity than the epidemic of mental health and health problems.” Try to put doors to the field. Steve Chen mentioned in his talk, that some parents try to prevent their children from watching short videos “with vibrant colors and addictive eyes”, preferring longer, although less exciting formats. The reason is clear: it is sought to prevent minors from developing an early dependence on fast and instant content, difficult to reverse as they grow. That is why parents expose them to content with a more resting rate. “If they are not exposed to the short format content immediately, then they maintain satisfaction with that other type of content they are watching (with longer videos),” said the co -founder.

Surely you don’t know who Sofia Surfers, Fabiana, Álvaro Suárez and Pablo Vera are. But they are the viral summer phenomenon

by

The summer of 2025 is marked by a New type of gossip that is born, grows and expands mainly in Tiktok. Unlike traditional gossip in magazines, television or pink press, this time the epicenter is in networks, created, disseminated and amplified by the users who use the social network: generation Z and millennials. Sofía Surfers, Fabiana, Álvaro Suárez and Pablo Vera do not belong to the world of the show or the traditional show, not even to areas where the celebrities normally arise. But there is no talk of other people in Tiktok. The protagonists. The least interesting of this story is possibly the story itself, But summarizing: Sofia Surfers She is the sister of Lola Lolita, one of the most segated Spanish influencers. It did not belong to the world of traditional fame until shortly before the event, but that has changed: its profile is now full of publications loaded with indirects and key messages. Fabiana Sevillano It is an Andalusian influencer with more than one million followers and is part of the social circle of Sofia and Álvaro. He has publicly confirmed to have a casual and recent sentimental relationship with Álvaro, with an open and direct posture before the drama. Álvaro Suárez He is former partner of Sofia Surfers and a new partner, apparently, from Fabiana. He has tried to maintain a clear attitude and put limits to the spread of gossip. Pablo Vera He is a couple of Fabiana, his name has been mentioned frequently in videos and reactions, and has tried to clarify his version of the facts. Sofia stopped following Fabiana on social networks, what many people interpreted as the confirmation of a betrayal, which Fabiana later confirmed. All this framework has since generated thousands of memes, videos, indirect and debates among their followers, amplifying the viral phenomenon. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok The impact. Thousands of users have generated a high level of interaction with these profiles. The gossip -related videos They accumulate million visualizations and hundreds of thousands of likescomments and shared: there are explanatory and reagent videos, memes, Duos and Reenactments that They comment or amplify the facts and rumors in ironic or dramatic key. Hashtags like #fabianasevillano, #Pablovera and #Sofiastasurfers are among the most used. The never seen. It is a level of engagement Unusual for previously unknown characters, and that is also organic, decentralized and collaborative, which generates a feeling of community and participation that does not occur in other formats of the pink press. This also generates further propagation speed and more viral strength, which has made the phenomenon born in Tiktok, its impact has spread to other social networks. @javihoyosmartinez Fabiana Sevillano confirms that he looked with Álvaro Suárez: “I like it.” Tell how he told Pablo Vera and responds to Sofía Surferss #Fabianasevillano #Pablovera #Alvarosuarez #SOFIASURFERSS #Lolaloliitaaa ♬ Original sound – Javihoyos Beyond the gossip. In this case the narrative about the protagonists It is not controlled by specialized journalistsbut for the uncontrolled sum of thousands of videos, memes, debates and reactions. This democratizes the birth and evolution of these charactersand makes the target audience of this type of narrative develop A feeling of belonging to all this. Of course, now There are rumors that traditional pink media are beginning to be interested in exploiting this story born in networks. The renewal of the Star System. As the already historical one left us well ‘Save me‘, The renewal of the distributions of these dramas is essential when giving them continuity. In this case, the refreshing circumstance that most of these actors were not previously known (even one of them sister of Lola Lolita) gives them a renewed vitality. And so the idea that there are no modern or ancient issues (a story of infidelities, in fact, is one of the oldest in the world), but forms and spaces to tell them.

China has many garbage incinerators. So many, they don’t have enough garbage to burn

by

A few years ago, China was the world landfill. Since the 80s, countries around the world exported their garbage to China and processed them as raw materials for their industry. Today, China has a problem with waste management, but very different. What is left over is not garbage, but incinerators to burn it. Hungry incinerators. China has more than 1,000 garbage incineration plants for electricity generation. Combined, they have an ability to burn more than one million tons of garbage per day. Currently, according to a report from Cinda Securities These incineration plants are working at an average of 60% of their capacity, which represents an important underutilization of their resources. Because. The amount of waste continues to grow in China, the problem is that it does so at a lower rate than their management industry.
