fine

There are eight million Airbnbs, but only one where the disconnection is so extreme that there is fine print: risk of death

by

At the beginning of the year, the figure by Bryant Gingerich began to circulate in many media. In a secluded corner of the Ohio wilderness, Gingerich, a 34-year-old engineer, seemed to have found an opportunity to transform his professional life by converting a simple cave in a successful vacation rental business. However, if we talk about places far away from the world, none like the one in this story. Stay at the extreme. I told the story a few days ago BBC. In the Kulusuk Fjords of eastern Greenland, the Floating Glacier Hut It has established itself as one of the most remote accommodations, if not the most, in the world. The cabin, installed on a floating hexagonal platform and anchored to the surrounding rocks, it is located in an area where the distances between settlements are enormous and the human presence is minimal. Access is made only by boat and the infrastructure responds to the idea of ​​offering a space completely removed from any urban dynamics, in a territory dominated by glaciers, icebergs and an unpredictable climate. This approach fits with the rise of the so-called as “quietcations” and hyper-remote destinations, which seek to satisfy the growing need for total disconnection that many travelers express in the face of the accelerated pace of daily life. Disconnect without technology. The cabin dispenses with the internet and reduces outside communication to a satellite phone, which forces us to live real isolation throughout the stay. The Finnish-made module is thermally insulated and has a glass roof that allows you to observe the polar sky and phenomena such as the northern lights without leaving the interior. The equipment it’s basic: a small stove, a toilet, a minimal kitchen area and a double bed. The lack of a shower is part of the design, and some visitors resort to quick dips in the frozen sea to clean themselves. This austerity is proposed as a central feature of the experience, focused on the observation of the environment and sensory immersion without digital interference. Views from the accommodation Caution and logistics. Extreme isolation coexists with reasonable vigilance against the risks inherent to the Arctic. According to the local guide Nicco Segretoresponsible for the project, the cabin acts as an effective refuge from potentially deadly fauna like polar bears (there is a sign that warns you before entering), as long as you stay inside. However, the operator warns that weather conditions may prevent the arrival of the boat in charge of transporting guests, an element that is part of the operational reality in the region. The landscape offers opportunities for activities such as glacier hiking, exploring ice caves formed by subglacial rivers, and ice fishing through a small hole prepared in the structure. These excursions show the dynamics of ice and the visible effects of melting, reinforcing the educational value of the trip. A tourist project. Secret discovered a decade ago a glacial cave that today is part of the activity offerand that discovery was the origin of his initiative to develop low-footprint tourism in the area. In addition to generating employment in the Tasiilaq community, the project aims to attract travelers interested in geology, the behavior of ice and the magnitude of the polar landscape. The Floating Glacier Hut It is the initial phase of a broader plan that includes a future retirement of greater capacity, Vision Lodgeaimed at structured stays of several days. The accelerated retreat of the glaciers, visible even year after year, becomes a central component of the experience, which allows us to observe climate changes on a human scale. An exclusive model. The stay, designed for two people, has an approximate cost from 1,000 to 1,200 dollars per night and includes private boat transfers, dinner prepared by the guide himself, and breakfast. Despite the price, remembered the BBC that the accommodation It has received very positive reviews for the combination of isolation, landscape and silence, elements that guests point out as difficult to find in other destinations. Thus, the general perception is that it is an experience designed for those who seek to completely disconnect (from humanity and devices), observe the environment without filters and face a slower pace, where nature is the central axis of the room and the passage of time seems to acquire another scale.

to what extent will we accept that AI cameras fine us

by

Spain has begun to automate the surveillance of minor infractions with AI: Technology stops optimizing traffic and starts monitoring it. Why is it important. This marks a paradigm shift. Until now, urban AI was used to improve mobility (adjust traffic lights, predict traffic jams, reduce emissions). Now he goes from assistant to inspector. And it does so with a key nuance: it does not pursue major crimes or flagrant dangers, but rather small daily infractions that previously escaped control due to cost and surveillance capacity. AI reduces the marginal cost of sanctioning to practically zero. Once deployed, everyone can be observed all the time. The facts. The Barcelona pilot test involved four buses of lines H12 and D20 equipped with cameras that identify, through AI, vehicles blocking reserved lanes. In Madrid, the City Council has installed smart traffic lights that count pedestrians in real time and has announced systems that will detect seat belt use. The DGT has taken another step. It has deployed four cameras on the A-1, A-2, A-6 and A-42 highways that monitor the crossing of continuous lines. The system works with two cameras per section: one records the license plates at the beginning, another at the end. If a car changes lanes between both points, the fine is automatic. It is 200 euros per violation. In figures. Spain already has 3,395 devices to control violationsaccording to Faconauto. Of them, more than 1,300 are DGT surveillance points between fixed and mobile radars. Added to this are more than 200 cameras that monitor belts and mobile phones, Pegasus helicopters and now these new continuous line detection systems. Barcelona has not yet activated the sanctions on its buses, but the volume of violations detected (80 daily in just four vehicles) anticipates what is coming. Between the lines. There is a delicate balance that is being renegotiated without us having barely opened the debate. On the one hand, more compliance with fewer agents: administrative efficiency is indisputable. On the other, the sensation of an omnipresent eye. The difference with the classic radar is not so much technical as range. The radar monitors specific points where there is proven risk. These new systems turn the entire city into a guarded zone: each bus is an inspector, each intersection a control point. AI does not change what is sanctioned, it changes where and how much. Move from selective surveillance to ubiquitous surveillance. Yes, but. To what extent will citizens accept being recorded and punished by a machine? It’s not just a legal issue, but a cultural one: trust in the algorithm versus human interpretation. Who audits the system’s decisions? What room is there for error or appeal? Technology is not neutral: each deployment reflects political priorities about what deserves to be monitored and sanctioned. The big question. What is relevant is not whether this is good or bad in the abstract, but what it tells us about the new contract between citizen, city and AI. AI stops being an abstraction and enters the daily urban experience. The citizen goes from user to observed subject. And the unresolved question is who sees, who decides, who corrects and, above all, how far we are willing to go when automating the chase is so easy and cheap.

2,000 euros fine for the minor’s parents

by

The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has imposed the first sanction in Spain for the creation and dissemination of false images generated with artificial intelligence. The parents of a minor have been fined 2,000 euros, reduced to 1,200 for prompt payment, after a case that has set a precedent in the protection of minors’ data in Europe. What has happened. A minor used the ClothOff app to create a fake image of a naked high school classmate. The AI ​​tool takes the victim’s face and superimposes it on an unclothed body, taking into account physical characteristics such as complexion or skin tone. The image was later spread through social networks and messaging groups. The origin of the case. Although the public resolution does not identify the parties involved, the AEPD has confirmed that it is one of the cases that occurred in AlmendralejoBadajoz, in September 2023. Then, it came to light that at least 20 minors had been victims of similar schemes that circulated on the municipality’s cell phones. The images even reached portals such as OnlyFans and pornographic pages, according to the resolution. Why it is important. This is the first time that a data protection authority in the European Union sanctions by spreading a deepfake. The AEPD opened the file ex officio on September 20, 2023, just two days after the case became public, and was able to learn the identity of those responsible thanks to the collaboration with the Prosecutor’s Office. The regulator has acted on the basis that a person’s image is personal data that has reinforced protection when it comes to minors. The debate on the sanction. The amount of the fine has generated some debate. Jorge García Herrero, lawyer and data protection officer, account to El País that “very few risks related to AI cause as much social alarm as the creation of non-consensual sexual deepfakes of minors” and questions whether the sanction is ‘not very exemplary’. On the other hand, the jurist Borja Adsuara, account to the media that this is “a crime against privacy, which goes through criminal proceedings,” and wonders what sense it makes to impose an administrative fine when the case has already been judicially sentenced. The parallel path. This administrative procedure of the AEPD is independent of the criminal process that has already been initiated against those responsible, who were between 12 and 14 years old at the time of the events. In the judicial process, a year of supervised release was imposed on 15 minors for manipulating images of classmates. According to Miriam Al Adib, mother of one of the victims, “there was an exemplary sentence according to which the children are on probation for a year and have to take a training course.” And now what. It is expected that the AEPD will publish more similar fines related to the events in Almendralejo in the coming months, given that there were at least two dozen victims. The resolution exempts the creators of ClothOff from liability, an application designed specifically to generate images of naked women without their consent and which is currently closed. Its creators face a judicial process in the United States. Al Adib warns that these cases represent “a pandemic of tremendous violence” that requires coordinated political strategies and effective protection protocols for victims.

The DGT has a fine of 200 euros for those who carry the bicycle in any way in the car: this way you can avoid it

by

There are those who would leave their own child at home if in exchange they could put the bicycle in the trunk of the car. I know what I’m talking about, I know some practical cases. And beyond opening the debate on whether we should call the officials in charge of ensuring the care of minors, we can guarantee that the DGT is not going to have so many concerns. And that’s what to wear a bicycle incorrectly placed in the car is grounds for a fine. Specifically, a penalty of 200 euros for carrying the cargo poorly packaged, as stated in article 76 of the Traffic Law. Although beyond the possible fine, carry the bike correctly It is also essential to guarantee the safety of the passengers themselves. It must be taken into account that objects that are not properly secured can become real projectiles and in the case of a bicycle, which usually requires the seats to be folded down, it can be much more dangerous. To give us an idea, it is calculated that at 50 km/h an object multiplies its weight by 50 when thrown into the void. These are data from the DGT that are scary and that should make us think if we have the car seats folded down to carry the bicycle in any way inside. Having said all this, let’s review what the alternatives are. What can I do to carry a bicycle in the car? As the colleagues of Motorpassionnot everything goes when transporting a bicycle because we will be risking a good fine and our own integrity. In that case, there are three solutions that we must take into account to choose the one that best suits us. If what we want is carry the bicycle inside the carThe most effective thing is to use anchors. To do this we must have adjustable straps that attach to the vehicle’s fixing points that we can find on the vehicle seats themselves. In any case, they are points that are not always in the same places. However, if you can’t find these points or they are not entirely practical, you can always find some bike fixing kits that are sold for the interior of passenger cars. Of course, it is important to look at the size because they are often designed for vans. Another option is to mount the bike on top of the vehicle, on the roof. It is not the most recommended because the car will consume more but, above all, we will be more exposed to side wind, making the mobility of the vehicle difficult. Of course, regarding the regulations, we can rest assured because the General Vehicle Regulations allows the load to reach a maximum of four meters high. In this case we will need a roof rack or roof bars previously installed on the car. The kits to take advantage of this possibility are diverse. There are those that fix the bicycle frame, others in which we can mount the bicycle with both wheels on and, in the last case, turn it over and hold it by the saddle and handlebars, with the wheels facing up. In any case, it is very important to ensure that the bicycle is securely fixed. The last and most recommended option, but also more expensive, is to opt for a bike rack. There are those that are installed on the tailgate and, in this way, are easily dismantled and assembled and there are those that are hitched like a trailer. In this case, it must be reflected in the vehicle’s technical sheet and pass the ITV when installing the modification if the original vehicle did not have the tow ball. Despite this, if you regularly use the bicycle and want get the most out of the trunkis still the best option. However, keep in mind that the load cannot protrude across the width of the vehicle and lengthwise it cannot extend more than 10% of its total length if the load is divisible and 15% if it is not. Furthermore, in this last case you have to mount one of V-20 signal. If the load occupies the entire width of the vehicle, two signs of this type must be mounted (one at each end) and in no case can the car’s license plate be covered. It must be taken into account that driving with a poorly legible license plate can also result in a fine of 200 euros.

In 1896 a man decided to lead to the reckless speed of 13 km/h. And received the first fine in history

by

Speed ​​fines in Spain vary from 100 at 600 euros. The table in which the economic amount is collected also serves if the driver will also be punished with the subtraction of driving card points. In the best case, the sanction It does not entail the subtraction of points, while in the worst you can detract a maximum of six. All this information can be consulted in your own DGT website or in the Traffic LawMotor vehicles and road safety. And it is useful, according to data from Associated European motoriststwo out of three fines that are imposed in Spain are motivated by speeding. But although speeding fines look like something modern, what is necessary to invest most sophisticated media To register the infraction and judicially demonstrate the breakdown of the norms, its history begins before The first car in Spain will enroll. The first fine of history for speeding Fines for committing some kind of Flying infraction They have a lot of history. Some suggest that the first punishment related to a traffic infraction was recorded in Egypt more than 2,800 years ago, after a drunk driver run over a girl and collided with a statue. However, the basis of this information is, at least, doubtful. But what is a general consensus is in the registration of the first penalty for speeding. In fact, those responsible for Guinness Record They make it record as the early infraction of this type. And they put date: January 28, 1896. The fine also has a name, surname and place of origin. Specifically, the offender was Walter Arnold who in the United Kingdom, and fully aware of what was played, promoted one of the first cars built by Karl Benz until the devilish speed of 13 km/h. Arnold exceeded the streets of Paddock Wood at full speed, in Kent Count “Horses without horses”. Arnold had broken four rules in a single moment: Drive a car without horses along a public street Drive a car without horses without the intervention of three people Do not show the name and direction of the vehicle Quadruplica the maximum permitted speed Yes, according to the fine, Arnold was traveling at a speed of 8 mph (about 13 km/h) when the maximum allowed limit was 2 mph. Of the means to calculate this speed, nothing is said. What we do know is that the result was immediate. Put before Justice, Arnold was convicted of each and every one of the accusations that were awarded. What Arnold had in mind is that the payment of 4.7 pounds were just an investment. With his stumbling he showed that the speed limits were completely outdated for those Combustion vehicles And, therefore, shortly after the speed limit was extended to reasonable 14 mph (just over 22 km/h). But this was not here. Arnold, in addition, was known for its handling of vehicles. He got the license to sell in the United Kingdom the vehicles of Karl Benz slightly modified with a local production under the name of Arnold Motor Carriage. A car with which he managed to win in the first race of emancipation in it was linked to London with Brighton (separated by 87 kilometers) and served to multiply car sales. The first fine was, in short, a marketing trick.

The AEPD fine with 42,000 euros to a company

by

The Spanish Agency for Data Protection (AEPD) has imposed a sanction of 70,000 euros to LVMH Iberia, a subsidiary of the French giant of the luxury cosmetics, to add a worker to a group of work WhatsApp using their personal telephone number without prior consent. The resolution, to which Diario Sur It has had accessIt is not an isolated case, and reflects how companies can violate the Data Protection Law With something as simple as put someone in a WhatsApp group. Origin. The employee had to use her personal mobile for labor matters for the demand of the company, while waiting for a new mobile phone to work that was never delivered. According to declaredother incorporated partners after they received these devices. At the beginning of his vacation, he warned by email and verbally that he would leave the WhatsApp groups work and stop using his personal mobile for work, although he would maintain contact with the clients he already had. Conflict. During his vacation, a person from the company adds his number to the WhatsApp group without prior notice or communication. The worker remained in that group until, weeks later, the same person eliminated her when she was fired from the company. It was then that he decided to denounce the facts before the AEPD. The defense of the company. According to account Diario Sur, LVMH Iberia claimed to have adopted a “guarantee” position and defended that the employee’s mail did not request a permanent elimination of the groups, but temporary during the holidays. The company claimed to have respected its decision not to participate during that period and argued that the worker expressed her willingness to continue using the personal mobile for labor purposes. The resolution. The AEPD considered that there had been an illegal treatment of personal data by not collecting prior consent of the employee, violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The sanction also takes into account the violation of the right of digital disconnection, protected by labor regulations. After assuming its responsibility and receiving reductions by recognition of the facts, the company finally contributed a total of 42,000 euros, a figure agreed between the agency and the company. What does legislation say. Although the GDPR does not specifically add the WhatsApp work groups, The AEPD has established That the telephone number is a protected personal fact, so adding an employee to a group without their consent constitutes an illicit data treatment. The situation changes when the company provides a corporate phone, since in that case the device and the number belong to the company, which can establish its use in internal policies. For those who telework, the obligation to provide contact data can appear in the contract, although its use It must be justified as urgent and does not allow the employee to be added to groups without direct consent. Likewise, as this last case has reflected, the worker has full right to refuse to use his personal device for labor communications.

Brussels fine to Google with 2,950 million. The worst thing is that the EU points to a sale from its advertising business

by

Brussels has launched a resounding notice to the technology industry: 2,950 million euros of fine to Google for abusing its position in the digital advertising market, As announced today the European Commission. The investigation points to self -preference practices that reinforced their domain in the Adtech chain and harmed competitors, advertisers and editors. The Community Executive suggests that the solution could go uninverting part of their advertising business. It is a movement that raises pressure on large technological ones and reinforces the regulatory role of the European Union. The case has a long journey in Brussels. The European Commission started in 2021 A file on Google’s power in the digital advertising sector, after detecting indications of dominant position abuse. In 2023 a specifications were issued that the company answered at the end of that year. The research analyzed Google activity in strategic markets such as the DFP advertisements and Google Ads and DV360 programmatic purchase tools, both with presence throughout the European economic space. What Brussels has ordered and what Google is played The core of the decision is in self -preference. The commission argues that, at least since 2014, Google took advantage of its domain on the DFP advertisements and in the Google Ads and DV360 tools for Grant advantages to your own platformA ADX. DFP warned ADX on the value of rival offers, and purchase tools prioritized participating in that same platform. This dynamic would have reduced competition and consolidated Google’s power in the advertising chain. For Brussels, it is a behavior designed to reinforce its position and its ability to collect high rates. Brussels set the sanction of 2,950 million euros based on its 2006 standards for anti -political fines. The calculation took into account “various elements, such as the duration and severity of the infraction, as well as ADX’s business volume in the EEE.” The commission defends that the amount is proportionate to the infraction and necessary to avoid new self -preference practices. The figure makes this file one of the most significant in the field of digital competence in Europe, reinforcing the role of the body as a regulator. The commission has given Google 60 days to present a plan that ends the conflicts of interest detected in the advertising chain. Once received, Brussels will evaluate whether the proposed measures really eliminate these practices. In its decision, the agency has already advanced its preliminary position: Only a partial disinvestment of advertising services I would solve the root problem. If Google’s proposal does not meet the criteria, the European regulator may impose structural remedies. Brussels hardens their pulse with technological while in Washington political discourse intensifies. Donald Trump published last month A message in Truth social criticizing laws and digital regulations that, according to him, “are designed to harm or discriminate against US technology companies.” He warned that it will impose tariffs and restrictions on countries that maintain these policies. Although he did not explicitly mention the European Union, its administration has repeatedly shown its discomfort with the measures against companies such as Google, Meta or X. The scope of this sanction goes beyond Google. Brussels seeks to reduce the dependency of editors and advertisers of a single intermediary, which could promote the Competition in digital advertising services. A mandatory divestment would open space for rivals in key segments such as advertisements and programmatic purchase platforms. The sector, accustomed to operating under the control of a few technological giants, could see changes in prices, access to commercial data and conditions. The EU thus reinforces its role as a referee in strategic digital markets. “Today’s decision shows that Google abused its dominant position in advertising technology, harming editors, advertisers and consumers. This behavior is illegal according to the EU antimonopoopoolio standards. Google must now present a serious solution to address their conflicts of interest and, if it does not, we will not hesitate to impose forceful measures,” said the Spanish commissioner Teresa Teresa Ribera, responsible for the competence of the community. Beyond the economic sanction, the decision of Brussels gives legal basis to those affected to claim. European regulations establish that commission resolutions are conclusive evidence that the infraction occurred. The Antitrust Damage Directive, together with a practical guide on the calculation of damages, facilitates that companies and individuals Get compensation. Thus, this case not only seeks to correct the market, but also repair those who suffered the consequences of the practices that reinforced Google’s domain in digital advertising. Just days ago, Google dodged in the United States the scene of selling Chrome. However, Europe has opened a new front: the possibility of forcing him to separate part of his advertising business. The plan that the company present in Brussels will be key to defining the outcome. If it does not convince, the European case could exceed the American process in impact, sitting a precedent that would affect the entire technological sector.

A Spanish company imposed facial recognition to enter its gyms. Result: Fine of 96,000 euros

by

The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has imposed A sanction of 96,000 euros to the gyms chain exceeds to violate the data protection of its customers. The reason? Have imposed facial recognition as the only method of access to your gyms. The facts were denounced by Facua in 2023 and now the resolution has been known. What happened? On August 4, 2023, a claim was filed to SIDECU, a company based in A Coruña in charge of the gyms. According to the document (PDF), the Sports Center exceeds Entrepuentes in Seville was “denying access to the facilities” because a new access method had been implemented through a facial recognition system. “ The complainant considered that this access was “invasive about his intimacy” and “excessive for access to said establishment.” Until the implementation of the facial recognition system, which had not been notified to the partners and was mandatory, it was possible to enter the gym using a card. This claim was added two more and, finally, in September 2023, Facua denounced SIDECU. The defense. Sidec defended himself wielding that he did not store images of the users, but generated a facial pattern through an algorithm patented by the company that developed the system. According to the gyms chain, this “template” was not enough to identify users or deduce their physical characteristics. For SIDECU, this was enough for the system to meet the RGPDbut the truth is that no. The first error. Misunderstand the regulations, thus breaking article 9 of the RGPD. Article 4.14 of the RGPD establishes that biometric data are “personal data obtained from a specific technical treatment, related to the physical, physiological or behavioral characteristics of a natural person that allow or confirm the unique identification of said person, such as facial images or dactyloscopic data.” According to article 9 of the same regulation, the treatment of “biometric data aimed at uniquely identifying a natural person” is prohibited. Image | Ryan Hoffman The second error. Impose the system and not warn, thus breaking article 13 of the RGP. Not only did it not warn users, but facial recognition was the only way to access the establishments and there was no other real option, thus entering the game: consent was not free. It is true that the company ended up implementing an alternative access system (teaching the ID at the door), but its arrival was later to claims. Do not warn users breaches article 13 of the GDPR. The third terror. Do not evaluate the risks, finally breaking article 35 of the RGPD. According to the sentence, SIDEC did not justify why it was necessary to implement this system, above all, less invasive and equally effective alternatives. The AEPD states that the company did not carry out the impact assessment in the protection of personal data (when it was not dealing with personal data) and that it acted without fraud, but negligently and without “the special diligence that is enforceable to this type of treatments.” The sanctions. Three, one for each article violated: 80,000 euros for violating article 9 of the RGPD, 30,000 euros for not having informed users in advance (article 35) and 50,000 euros for not having prepared the impact assessment on personal data protection (article 9). In total, a penalty of 160,000 euros that, due to the recognition of the responsibility and the Sidecu’s soon lamp, has remained at 96,000 euros.

Studying a lot is fine, but there is another factor that influences that you approve or suspend: the exam time

by

If you want to approve an exam, there is nothing more than study (well, or Use Chatgpt). Going prepared is the best insurance to get good note, but there is more. Some researchers have discovered That the exam time can also influence, and much, in the result. The study. It was carried out at the University of Messina, Italy. They took into account the exams that were made between the end of 2018 and early 2020. In total, more than 100,000 exams of 1,243 subjects. The approved rate was 57%, the curious thing was when they realized that there was a time slot in which the approved rate was greater. Better at noon. The exams were held from 8 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon. The time slot between 11:00 and 13:00 is where the approved rate reached its peak. If you are lucky enough to put the exam at that time, the chances of edges are higher. If on the contrary you have the exam at 8 in the morning or 3 in the afternoon, you may not take out outstanding. Because. The study does not delve into the causes, but researchers have a hypothesis: biological rhythms. One of the authors of the study affirms that the results show “how biological rhythms, often ignored in decision -making contexts, can significantly influence the result of high -risk evaluations.” Our cognitive performance is improving during the morning to reach a peak at noon and start its descent in the afternoon. The approved rate curve is clear: at noon better Fountain The chronotype The study also indicates that this could vary depending on the chronotype, something that has not been taken into account when obtaining the results. It refers to the natural predisposition of a person to have energy peaks and need for rest at different times of the day. Although we know that Genetics plays an important role in sleep cyclesit is also true that students usually study at night. A bad rest would explain that in the first hour the performance goes down. Exams and more. The researchers propose that the institutions concentrate the exams around the central hours of the day. Although the time of an exam does not depend on students, there are other evaluations where we do have some margin when arranging the time as a job interview, as They point to The Times. The researchers agree and leave the door open to study if the time also influences a better performance of the candidates and even the interviewers.
