The United States created modern globalization. Now he has become his main devastating

by

The world never changes from one day to another, but Sometimes there are inflection points that we only recognize in retrospective. The fall of the wall in 1989, the collapse of Bretton Woods in 1971 or the crisis of Lehman Brothers in 2008 marked the end of one era and the beginning of another. Today we are facing a moment, very possibly, similar. The phrase of British politician Darren Jones, “globalization as we have known during the last decades has come to an end,” collected by Newsweekmay sound reactionary exaggeration to Trump’s tariffs, but it is not. We are in something that goes beyond a commercial war. It is the decline of an economic order that has supported world prosperity for three decades. Tara Zahra explains it in The New York Times: It is a moment that reminds the collapse of the first era of globalization after 1913, when the value of global exports went from 14% to 6% of the world economy. The United States was the main architect of this system, but has become his great devastating. The country that was leveled in the virtues of free trade to grow now applies The same base tariff both to its democratic allies and to regimes and the Taliban. In fact we have higher tariffs in the European Union than in North Korea. It is not only the capricious policy of a single president, but the final demonstration of a long process. As Zahra documented, the notice arrived in 1999 with those anti -globalization protests in Seattle that had their replica in various parts of the world. In our case it was In Barcelona. Tens of thousands of protesters against the WTO. That intensified with the 2008 crisis and the pandemic completed this cycle: our supply chains were more fragile than we thought. The world was already fragmenting before Trump’s return to the White House. The alarming thing is what happens on the other side of the Pacific. China is not regretting for anything or waiting for better times with stoic resignationbut is actively building its own independent economic sphere. The case of Huawei It is exemplary: it does not build bridges, cava trenches. Its strategy is no longer going to compete, but to create its own parallel and self -sufficient ecosystem. Beijing in the meantime has been preparing his countermeasures to Trump’s tariffs, from the climbs to his own to the prohibition of American films. They are not only defensive responses, but the steps of a long -term strategy to reduce its exposure and dependence on the West. Beijing creates its technological ecosystems, but also financial and commercial. Within our possibilities, In the EU we are also looking for the box of the strips. Begin An era of independent islands. There are changes that can be reversed when Trump leaves the position and the following arrives, but others will be permanent. Once broken, trust is not easily restored. What happened to Huawei and others in 2019 was A lesson engraved on fire: The dependence of any market (especially the American) is a vulnerability. Praness Narayanan, from the London Public Policy Research Institute, explains it in NBC: “The decisions that make (companies) following this will remodel global trade.” The result will be a more fragmented global system, more redundant and, paradoxically, less efficient that the one that has emerged from globalization. Aurélien Saussay, from the London School of Economics, anticipates That the price to be paid for this “dysglobization” will be transferred to consumers in the form of higher prices and lower supply variety. Many of the pieces that have built the imperfect framework that has given the greatest global prosperity in history are being undone. Just now that AI, climate change and demographic complications should demand more cooperation, no less. The pendulum again oscillate to closed borders and autarchiesto some extent. China wants to be self -sufficient, the United States seeks something similar and the EU, which was to other things, Start wondering what you have left to protect. Now it remains to know what will happen in the future: not if globalization can be saved – it seems very difficult to undo certain steps – but what we will build on their remains.

Millennials and generation Z are already its main clients

by

Having a Ferrari waiting for you in the garage continues to be the desire of many young people, especially when money It is not a problem. The young people are revolutionizing the market of luxury cars, and Ferrari is the proof of this. The legendary Italian brand is seeing how its clientele rejuvenates by leaps and bounds. The reason: the new generations are receiving the millionaire inheritances of their relatives. The new profile of “Ferrarista”. As they point out from FortuneTraditionally Ferrari has been synonymous with older men, successful entrepreneurs and engine -love collectors with years of experience and a bulky wallet. But times are changing. According to recent statements by Benedetto Vigna, executive director of Ferrari, collected By CNBC, millennials and generation Z already represent 40% of the new Ferrari buyers. A generational turnaround that has surprised its own and strangers, and that shows that the luxury industry is facing a generational relief. This means an increase in the percentage of customers with less than 40 years of Ferrari, which in 2023 was 30%. Benedetto Vigna said that: “We are seeing a great interest on the part of younger customers,” and indicated that this demographic change is a global trend that is transforming the way in which luxury brands are related to their customers. Having a Ferrari goes beyond having money. This change in the profile of the buyers of Ferrari cars is due to different factors that converge in time. On the one hand, the success of influencers and young celebrities that exhibit their luxury cars on social networks, and that the brand has taken care of nails and teeth for preserve your aura of exclusivity. On the other hand, Ferrari has managed to adjust the policy of “scarcity marketing“That Enzo Ferrari established, who assured that” he would always deliver a car less than what the market demands, “which increases the desirability of his cars. Vigna says that The waiting lists For one of his cars they are about two years old. In his interview, the Ferrari CEO said that a 37 -year -old told him that he was anxious to receive his first Ferrari before he turned 40. “Do not worry, you will get it when you are 39 years old,” Vigna explained to CNBC. Faithfulness to Ferrari. As published Fortunemost of Ferrari’s client portfolio has been forged over decades, affecting the idea that It is not enough to have money To drive a Ferrari: you have to deserve of it. In 2024, Ferrari sold approximately 81% of their new cars to owners who already had a Ferrari and 48% of them to buyers who already had more than one Ferrari in their garage. That reinforces the attachment of young people for a brand that does not make their customers easy access one of your cars. However, one of the great triumphs that the Maranello brand has recently achieved is that, when they get it, its clients can customize it to their liking in the Ferrari Atelierdivision that the brand has created to respond to the exclusive requests of its customers. “The great wealth transfer.” But if there is a key factor that explains the rejuvenation of Ferrari’s clientele, it is the call “Great wealth transfer“. It is estimated that a good part of world wealth is currently In the hands of the Baby Boomers. Due to demographic aging, it is estimated that, until 2045, millennials and generation Z will be the beneficiaries of an estimated wealth transfer in about 84 billion (European billion) of dollars. These first signs of generational change are already being seen, with data such as the one that revealed the list of 2024 Millionaires of Forbes, in which most of the new Millionaires under 30 years old They were for having received a millionaire heritage. A generalized trend. Although those responsible for other luxury brands have not expressed themselves with the clarity with which the CEO of Ferrari has done, everything indicates that this is a trend that they are experiencing the set of luxury cars manufacturers. According to statements From Stephan Winkelmann, world general director of Lamborghini to Drive: “There are more and more people, compared to a decade ago, which at an early age already have so much money that our type of cars can easily buy.” Porsche, meanwhile, has managed to adapt to the new times adapting its public sales channels younger to stay as an attractive option for new millionaires.

Years ago the main “drug” against depression was sold massively in supermarkets: 7up

by

It is a more or less known fact that The origin of the Coca-Cola is in the development of Medicinal tonic by the American pharmacist John Pemberton. However, this drink is not the only soda in having an origin linked to the world of pharmacy. Nor are we talking about the tonic, but of 7up. The history of this drink is prior to its name and its current formula and begins in 1929. The soda began to be marketed with the name of BIB-LABEL LITHIATED LEMON-LIME SODAbefore being renamed as 7 UP LITIED LEMON SODAand, finally, 7up. However, it is not the change of name of the soda what most usually attracts the attention of its history, but the change in its formula. And, as these names already pointed out, the original formula of this soda contained no less than lithium (Li), The third element of the periodic table. Before the alarms jump, it should be clarified that it was not elementary lithium (remember that this is a very reactive alkaline metal), but Lithium citratean organic compound, salt of lithium and citric acid. To understand the reason, we must know what is the use of this compound. For decades, lithium citrate has been used as Drug in psychiatric treatments. It is a compound considered a mood stabilizer and is used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, depression and mania. The soda would have been marketed in origin not as a drug against these problems but as a kind of tonic, a remedy for hangover To settle your stomach. It is unknown what is the origin of the name 7 UP but, among the various theories, one points out that It is a reference to lithium. The reason is that, although the atomic number of this element is the three, its atomic mass is approximately seven (6.94 to be more precise). As we indicated at the beginning of the article, this It is not the only soda whose history has a close link with the pharmacy. Coca-Cola also has An origin as a reconstituent tonic. In this case it is also an ingredient already disappeared from its formula (cocaine) the one that most usually calls attention to the history of the soda. The contemporary tonic still counts in its formula with the “active substance” that made it a treatment, the quinineused among other uses for Malaria treatment. Of course, the current content we can find in this soda It is very scarceso again we cannot talk about therapeutic properties in the soda we find today in supermarkets.

The main problem of Ukraine if the US is called is GMLRS, and it will occur when Russia attacks more than 30 km

by

After the failed meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump the situation in the Ukraine conflict is more uncertain than ever. While the United States has taken as the first measure the suspension of military assistance, from Ukraine it is requested to sit and negotiate those alleged minerals that would open a negotiating table again. As things are, the question seems clear: how long could kyiv resist Without American help? In the short term there is no problem. The measure adopted by the Trump administration freezes Ukraine access to The 3.85 billion dollars in military aids previously approved by Congress. Plus: Block the Military equipment delivery which had already been authorized by the administration of Joe Biden. However, and since before the arrival of Trump, Ukraine He has been preparing For a possible cessation of American aid, accumulating armament and ammunition in anticipation of this scenario. In fact, a senior western official confirmed that much of the necessary military team He entered Ukraine Before Trump’s possession, which will allow the country to stay in combat beyond the estimated period for negotiations of a fire. Fedir Venislavsky, a member of the Verkhovna Rada Defense Committee, said that Ukraine has a safety margin of approximately six monthswhich will allow you to resist in the short term without US assistance. However, he acknowledged that the situation will be much more difficult without the constant flow of weapons and defensive systems. Ukraine’s biggest bet: drones. In 2025, Ukraine It depends much less on the United States to cover their daily needs on the battlefield compared to the early stages of the war. Its current defensive strategy is based on the use of mines, attack drones and traditional artillery fire to wear Russian forces in A range of 0 to 30 km. In other words, most of the roller casualties (More than 50%) They are caused by mines and national manufacturing drones, which reduces dependence on imported weapons systems. To get an idea of The “industry” that has ended up forming The country, according to the Minister of Defense, Rustem Uumerov, Ukraine has become the largest drone manufacturer in the world, with a monthly production of almost 200,000 dronesincluding low -cost FPV models with DJI Mavic drones imported from China (although this carries a time in question). In any case, the Ukraine approach has been to expand the “death zone” of Your kamikaze dronesincreasing its scope and lethality, which represents a low -cost alternative to Himars systems and Atacms missiles Americans. The problem will be at a great distance. Analysts agree that the most serious impact of the suspension will be seen in the ability of Ukraine to perform precision attacks more than 30 km. The reason? The Systems like GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) They are still crucial to hit strategic objectives in the Russian rear, and the lack of these should affect the operational effectiveness of Ukraine. In addition, the Advanced interceptors suspension Air defense and antimisiles provided by the United States will reduce Ukraine’s ability to protect its infrastructure and troops from Russian missile attacks. Thus, as time passes, these limitations could become critical. Another key point is Equipment maintenancethe supply of spare parts and technical support. Without the United States assistance, the operational capacity of Ukraine will gradually degrade. Plus: It is not clear if the suspension will also affect the provision of intelligence, training and other forms of indirect support, which could further aggravate the situation. In this sense, much will depend on how much material and spare parts you have managed to store Ukraine and to what extent Europe can intervene to cover the gap. In addition, some European countries have limited inventories and in certain cases the United States could block the transfer of equipment by third parties. The GMLRS in Action The Patriots and their interceptors. As we explained, despite European support, the most sophisticated defense systems depend exclusively on the United States. Among them, the Patriot Air Defense Systems and its interceptors, designed and manufactured exclusively on American soil. The impossibility of replenishing these missiles once exhausted will put key cities at risk and Ukrainian strategic locations, increasing vulnerability to Russian attacks with ballistic missiles and kamikaze drones. Another critical factor is the provision of long -range intelligence. Until now, Washington has provided recognition data to alert Ukraine about Russian bombings with planning pumps and to identify strategic objectives within Russia. The interruption of this information flow would deprive Ukraine of a key advantage in the modern war. Starlink. Finally, we must not forget the Starlink communications system of Elon Musk, widely used For the Ukrainian forces on the battle front, and that depends on a contract with the Pentagon. Although a possible alternative would be the Eutelsat European satellite service, it is not clear if it could match Starlink’s efficiency and coverage in the middle of the war. And Europe? It is the great unknown after hearing yesterday that grandiloquent word: rearmament. Europe has tried to compensate for the reduction of US support with significant military assistance, which from the beginning of the war rises to 51 billion dollars. Currently, European aid represents 25% of the totalexceeding 20% ​​from the United States, while the rest of the weapons and supplies comes from the Ukrainian industry or direct acquisitions of the Zelenskyy government. In some aspects, European support already exceeds the American. It is expected that in 2025 Europe will produce two million projectiles Artillery for Ukraine, compared to the 850,000 planned by the United States. Despite this, combined production remains less than The 4 million projectiles that Russia plans to manufacture this year. No doubt, this lag raises the question of whether the difference in fire capacity will be decisive in favor of Moscow. Resist and risk. Under this scenario, the suspension of US military aid does not seem to represent an immediate collapse for Ukraine, but yes A progressive deterioration of its war capacity. With the accumulated supplies before Trump’s possession and … Read more

These are some of the sections in which you can see what novelty the new iPad Air offers. Screen and design Like its predecessor, the IPAD Air 2025 is available in two screen parts: 11 and 13 inches. Beyond this, as far as design is concerned, the weight is the other difference. The 11 inch weighs 460 grams In front of the 462 grams of the 2024 model, while the 13 -inch weighs 616 compared to the 617 grams of the iPad Air 2024.

It is the only one, since the new generation maintains the same Nits (500 in the 11 -inch and 600 in the 13 -inch), the same refreshment rate (60 Hz) and both models have True Tone technology. Performance This is the section in which the most different can be noticed between the iPad Air 2024 and the iPad Air 2025. The previous model came with the chip M2while the new generation of iPad Air integrates the m3 chip. This chip is not new, but can already be found in the Macbook Air 2024. If we compare the M3 chip With the M2, you can see a remarkable advance. Performance improves, as well as energy efficiency. Although both chips have eight -core CPU, the M3 offers much faster processing speeds. The M3 chip, in turn, has motors from Prore decodingallowing fluid and real -time reproduction, even if you reproduce high resolution images. It also incorporates AV1 decoding, very useful in 4K and 8K resolutions. Software Another of the differences that can be observed between the iPad Air 2024 and the 2025 model is in terms of software. The new model comes with Ipados 18 and those who buy the new iPad will be guaranteed updates for five years. In addition, it is Compatible with Apple Intelligence (although it will also be with the previous model). Is the new iPad worth?

How fantastic cinema has invaded the main nominations of the 2025 Oscar

by

For a few years, fantastic cinema is living a kind of face washing thanks to prestigious successes and labels such as “high terror“. The cotton test is always in the Oscars: as a maximum representation of Hollywood’s respectability and the show industry, when gender movies appear in the main categories, we live a new era of acceptance of the fantastic. Like this year. The circle of life. It is not a new phenomenon, but it has not always existed either. For decades all genres outside the drama, comedy and its variants (musical, western) were none by the Oscars. Until the international success of ‘arrivedStar Wars‘At the end of the seventies, and the technical categories of effects began to acquire relevance. The next spicy of the horror genre in the Oscars arrived in the nineties, with films without traces of series B in its DNA as ‘the silence of the lambs’ or ‘misery’. Since then, and by streaks, there have always been periodic claims of the fantastic in the Oscars (‘Let me out’, ‘The form of water’, ‘The Lord of the Rings‘), And this year he plays again. A significant precedent. Although last year there was almost almost the presence of fantastic cinema among the Nominated for Best Film (‘Barbie‘, of course, but above all’Poor creatures‘-Two films that never had the slightest opportunity-), the most interesting nominations in this regard took place in 2023. Not only was it nominated’Avatar: The sense of water‘, but ‘All at once everywhere‘He won seven awards, including the best film. A pure fantastic movie that also put on the table a producer who had been talking for years, A24. The legacy of A24. The great winner of the 2023 Oscar were neither her directors, the Daniels, nor her squad of actors (all awarded), but As we said at the timeproducer A24. Although it is not a specialized producer, it is responsible, distributing and producing the cinema of directors such as Robert Eggers (‘La Bruja’, ‘El Faro’) or Ari Aster (‘Hereditary’, ‘Midsommar’) that the fantastic cinema live A new era of respectability. Which includes, as a consequence, a renewed presence in the Oscars. 2025, Fantastic Oscars. This year we have several gender films among the nominees. On the one hand, the inevitable blockbuster, the equivalent of the ‘avatar’ of 2023: ‘Dune: Part two‘. On the other, ‘WICKED‘, which is a musical and therefore is more in the Hollywood tradition than in the rupture of norms, but let’s not forget that it is a prequel to’ The Wizard of Oz ‘, a classic absolute of the genre. Yeah ‘Emilia Pérez“It is fantastic or not would be something to sit down to discuss it (or better not), but it is clear that the radical point puts it. ‘The substance‘, a film that drinks from the troma and series B, of the Body Horror and the Gore, of Cronenberg and the latex feasts of the eighties. A true surprise whose only presence in nominations is already an indisputable award. And this year there are possibilities? First of all, it should be said that it was not planned that ‘everything at once everywhere’ razed in 2023, so there are always possibilities. But in principle, no: this year the thing is between ‘The Brutalist‘,’ Conclave ‘and’ Wicked ‘, and even’ Anora ‘and’ Emilia Pérez ‘, but neither’ Dune: part two ‘(which possibly takes a good amount of technical awards) nor, of course,’ the substance ” (Too Molona for Hollywood, it could be said, although Demi Moore should not lose hope) they are among the favorites. In any case, having reached nominations is a triumph: it is still clear that the fantastic is renewing Hollywood.

What is and main novelties of the new artificial intelligence model of Xai

by

Let’s tell you The novelties of Grok 3the new artificial intelligence model launched by XAI. This is the passage of Elon Musk’s company in the war to get the best chatbot of AI, and with which he adds to Grok reasoning capabilities. We are going to start explaining what exactly Grok 3 is, so that if you had never heard of it you can understand it. Then, we will explain the main differences of this model and why it is important. What is Grok 3 Grok is the name of the XAI artificial intelligence model, Elon Musk’s company. It is a model of AI like Gemini of Google or GPT of OpenAi. In the case of Grok, it is the model that uses the Chatbot Grok (yes, they have the same name) linked to the social network X, so much so that to be able to use it you need to have an account in this social network. As each artificial intelligence model, Grok 3 is the version released in February 2025, and that at the time of writing this article is the most modern version. So, It is a version that improves the characteristics of Grok 2and that offers more advantages. Just as other AI models are also evolving and improving, Grok does the same, trying not to be left behind in the frantic career of this technology. Elon Musk had promised a true revolution with this new version, although finally it is simply at the height of the competition. Another thing you should know is that Grok 3 is a family of models, with Grok-3 and Grok-3 Mini. The first is the complete model with all functions, and the second is a smaller one that offers balance between speed and quality of responses. What news brings Grok 3 The first difference is that while Grok 2 became free for all users, Grok 3 is going to be a payment modeland you will need to pay a subscription to use it. It will be available in the premium+ subscription of X, which costs 22.08 euros per month, or on an official new website that is not yet available in Europe. As for the model itself, the main novelty is that This model is able to reasonsomething we have already seen in the rest of the AI ​​models. With this, the AI ​​can generate more precise answers by analyzing the different response options before offering the final result. This reasoning capacity, as in other models, is optional. But if you choose it, another difference is that Grok 3 will hide the reasoning processesbeing less transparent than competition. Even so, it offers the possibility of generating multiple candidate responses. The other great incentive of this AI is that it allows Offer answers without filtersso some can be politically incorrect. This means that there will be very little self -censorship, and that you can ask almost anything. According to the companyGrok 3 has surpassed several competition models in benchmarks or test banks used to measure the AI ​​capacities. It has been above models such as GPT-4O, Deepseek V4 and Gemini 2 Pro in non-reasoning tasks Grok also improves in computational capacity, training with 10 times more computing capacity than Grok 2, and has been trained with a powerful 100,000 GPUS NVIDIA H100 cluster. In parallel to Grok 3 we have Deepsearch, which becomes the artificial intelligence -based search engine, and that Grok 3 will use. It is a tool that functions as a chatbot capable of reasoning, and that can navigate online and create Detailed reports to offer in -depth information on topics you ask.

the main astronomical events of February 2025 and where will they be seen

by

February is the shortest month of the year, but in an astronomical key it cannot be said that it is not loaded with events. The moon and its phases, a meteor rain and, above all, a planetary alignment that you cannot miss. As we always say, prepare your team, be it a simple camera either telescopebecause the month is really exciting. Growing fourth moon Event where The increase in lunar lighting will already be a constant As for visibility from Earth, on a path to the full moon. When it will be: February 5 Where will you see: around the world Pico de Meteoros Alpha Centaurids Will reach its peak at night from February 8 to 9, producing up to 6 “fleeting stars” per hour. When it will be: February 8 Where will you see: The conditions, apparently, are not favorable. If you are in the southern hemisphere, there is a good possibility that the radiant of the Alfa Centáurids is always above the horizon for you, which means that the meteor rain will be visible all night. The best moment: in the hours before dawn, when the moon has already put on. Full moon The fullness of the moon It will actually arrive near noonat 14:55, peninsular time (CET), 13:55 UTC. When it will be: February 12 Where will you see: worldwide. Luna Fourth Mongant The last lunar phase. When it will be: February 20 Where will you see: worldwide. Planetary alignment On the night of February 28 we will have the extremely unusual opportunity to see Up to seven planets in the sky. Namely, from west to this: Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars. Except in the case of Uranus and Neputono, all will be visible in full view if the weather conditions allow it. To see the (distant) ice planets, good binoculars or a small telescope is enough. When it will be: February 28 Where will you see: worldwide. New moon The moment the satellite will cross its less luminous phase and will lose sight of the “back” to our sun. When it will be: February 28 Where will you see: around the world Image | Pxhere In Xataka | The new telescopes are taking us to places that we did not even imagine: comets orbiting other stars In Xataka | In a stroke, James Webb has just discovered 44 new stars. The surprising: they are almost 6,500 million light years
