Technological millionaires bet on Trump in January. In March, 209,000 million have lost

by

On January 20, 2025, the CEO and founders of the main technology companies in the US staged their support for Donald Trump, beyond the one they had given a few days before contributing a million dollars By head on your visit to Mar-a-Lago. Since that day, Elon Musk’s fortunes, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg shot as they had never doneobtaining huge profits in stock markets. A month and a half later, The stage is very different For these millionaires, who chain one day after another of Free fall contributionsthe S&P 500 index falling 6.4% and the Nasdaq technological collapsing 4%. A downturn of 209,000 million dollars. Trump’s tariff policies have created enormous uncertainty in the markets before The fear of an economic recession self -imposed by constant threats of the president to its neighboring countries and its economic partners. That stock market debacle is wreaking havoc in the fortunes of the main flag bearers of Donald Trump. According to estimates of Bloomberg Based on the price of the companies that founded and direct, the joint losses of the millionaires who support Donald Trump during their investiture would exceed 209,000 million dollars. Elon Musk: The Tesla Suflé is left 148,000 million. The electric car manufacturer won 98% After the electionscatapulting Elon Musk’s fortune until Beyond 420,000 million dollars. With the stock indices in a state of panic for the shadow of an economic recession, its price left another 15% yesterday adding losses of 127,000 million dollars of capitalization. That leaves Elon Musk as one of the main affected by the bloodbath that are suffering the quotes of the actions of the company he directs, aggravated by the New descents in sales internationals of their cars and protests for their measures in front of Doge. Jeff Bezos is left 29,000 million Amazon. Jeff Bezos had his most and less with Donald Trump during his first term to the story of his newspaper and for the Use of postal service Amazon of the US. For this second term, the millionaire has served Donald Trump the Washington Post’s opinion column And he is working on his differences with respect to Use of the postal system. According to Bloomberg, Amazon shares have fallen 14% since January 2025, so Jeff Bezos would have lost about 29,000 million dollars in estimating his fortune. Serguéi Brin and the siege of Google. Google’s co -founder was openly disagreed with the policies of Donald Trump’s first mandate. However, he did not have the slightest problem to dinner with the new president-elect to Mar-a-lago after the elections, and present his respects in the form of a million dollars to cover his investiture. Since January 2025, Alphabet actions have fallen by 7%, largely driven by the Failure to comply with estimates of quarterly income, although the pressures of the Department of Justice have also influenced him to divide your company. As a founder, Brin has 6% of the company, so a loss of 22,000 million dollars is estimated in just over seven weeks. Mark Zuckerberg surfs the wave. Mark Zuckerberg is demonstrating to be an excellent strategist when save from stock market. Facebook’s founding millionaire did not hesitate gamble to moderation and equality policies in your company to win The sympathies of President Trump. However, it has remained enough away from it so that it is others who receive the collateral damage to their policies. Meta rose 19% its price since mid -January. However, the quotes of the Magnificent seven have collapsed in the last days, dragging a 20% drop from its maximum of December. That has generated a 5,000 million less hole in the estimation of Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune. Something that It doesn’t seem to worry in excess. Bernard Arnault: It rains on wet. Bernard Arnault was the richest person in the world for a good part of 2024 and is a personal friend of Donald Trump. However, bad results in sales of LVMH luxury productsmade his fortune lose several positions. That did not prevent him from going next to your family to the inauguration of Donald Trump. Since January, LVMH had recovered 20% of its price, but as of February, LVMHY’s price has progressively left its profits. One of the reasons: the tariffs between 10% and 20% that Donald Trump had announced For European luxury goods. As a result, the fortune of the French tycoon is estimated at 5,000 million less.

Bill Gates has a fortune of 107,000 million dollars and his collection of watches is not worth more than $ 100: but they are jewels

by

The Microsoft co -founder has been one of the richest people in the world for almost four decades, and today It holds a fortune of 107.6 billion dollarsaccording to Forbes. During that time, his taste for watches has been molded. Unlike Mark Zuckerberg, who has directed his collection of watches towards models of more than 1.3 million dollarsGates’ tastes are much more practical. Gates’s watches Rather Collect high -end watches as they usually do The millionairesBill Gates maintains a curious fidelity that goes back several decades ago with a Japanese brand: Casio. This choice reflects its pragmatic approach in terms of meaning that watches have For the millionaire, being an object with a functional end and not as a complement of luxury and ostentation of its wealth. Gates has at least three different models of this Japanese brand, famous for its reliability, durability and a functional design that is again fashionable with the return of the 90s aesthetics. One of the watches that has been seen most on Bill Gates’ wrist is the hard casio, an analog diving clock. One of those occasions was during Your visit to Harvard University In 2018. This model, also known as Casio Marlin MDV-106-1AVstands out for its water resistance (up to 200 meters), with a stainless steel box and black sphere, all for a price less than 70 euros. However, one of Gates’s favorite watches is even more minimalist and sober, betting on a completely black finish. It is the Casio MRW-200H-1B2Va light clock without great pretensions that has LED lighting, long -term battery, water resistance, stopwatch and a price that Round the 20 or 30 eurosdemonstrating that it is not necessary to spend a fortune to have a functional and reliable accessory. Another of the usual models in the Gates wrist is Casio W214H-1AV Illuminator Sports Digital Chrono Watch. Unlike the previous ones, the W214H is completely digital and retains a very marked novelty aesthetic. Its price ranges from the 20 and 30 eurosalthough being an already discontinued model they can only be found in the second -hand market. The “nokia” of the watches Gates’ loyalty for the Japanese brand is not an exception or an exclusive fixation of the millionaire. Casio was one of the most relevant brands in electronic watchmaking in the late 80s and 90s, with such models mythical and indestructible such as F-91Wwhich continues for sale 30 years after its launch. Thanks to that Nostalgic factor Already the extraordinary reliability and simplicity of its watches, the brand has resurfaced strongly in recent years with reissues of its old models for The nostalgic that we have spent much of our life with a casio on the wrist. Some even see it as A future proposal. In Xataka | There is nothing wrong with you comparing you with a casio: how their watches made him a glorious brand Image | Casio, Flickr (Ted Conference)

Multivize Computing is the Startup of San Sebastián that “compresses” the AI. The government has just invest 67 million euros in it

by

Óscar López, Minister for Digital Transformation and Public Function, announced within the framework of the Mobile World Congress of Barcelona something interesting: an investment of the government to support a promising Spanish startup of artificial intelligence. Multivize Computing. The Spanish company Multivize Computing It has venues in San Sebastián, Toronto, Munich, Paris and London and aims to “revolutionize artificial intelligence through the understanding of models.” Its products are able to compress large language models at 10% of its original size, with cost reduction and efficiency improvement that implies. Compressing the AI. Its main product is compactifai, a “compressor of AI models” that allows more fast, cheap and efficient ia systems. According to Your dataa model as it calls 3.1 405b has an operational cost of about $ 390,000 if we want to run it at home (13 GPUS H100, 9100 W of consumption), but thanks to Compactifai it is possible to reduce that cost to 60,000 dollars (2 GPUS H100, 1,400 W). 67 million for this European “unicorn”. López has announced that the Government will enter as a shareholder in Multivrse Computing through the Spanish Technological Transformation Society (SETT). In 2024 Digitaleurope, employer of industries in the process of transformation in Europe, recognized the company as the future European Uniccorn. It is one of the most promising emerging companies in Spain according to LinkedIn, and this investment is of course a commitment to that future. And aids for companies. The minister took the opportunity to announce a call for 130 million euros (up to 5 million euros per project) from FEDER funds for companies that incorporate AI “in their value chains.” There is also another additional call of 50 million euros for the integration of AI in companies in the health sector. There are already real cases of use. A previous call endowed with 50 million euros and launched by Sedia in 2021 concluded in December and there have been real cases. One of them is Tartaglia, focused on the health sector and endowed with seven million euros. This project has developed a system so that health institutions can safely share data. Another of these projects is agrarian, with an investment of nine million euros and that has taken advantage of AI to for example foresee the yield of the crops through satellite images, early pest detection or modeling of the energy expenditure of large fridge cameras.

TSMC has found a way to avoid US tariffs. Although 100,000 million dollars will have to spend

by

Trump wins. And TSMC, actually, too. During the last two years we have spoken in dozens of articles of The three semiconductor factories as a avant -garde that this Taiwanese company is getting ready in Arizona (USA). Approximately will be spent on them 65,000 million dollarsalthough they will cost much more (each high integration chip production plant costs approximately 30,000 million). The rest of the money subsidies will be provided approved by the administration led by Joe Biden. For TSMC it is crucial to develop its integrated circuit production infrastructure beyond Taiwan’s borders. The only way to hold your business if in the future it is triggered A war conflict with China It is precisely having a very solid network of factories outside the island. And, if possible, out of Asia. In any case, there is another reason why TSMC is very interested in having more chips plants in the US: tariffs approved by the administration led by Donald Trump. Tariffs are strengthening the US technological ecosystem At the end of last January Donald Trump launched a warning Very forceful to TSMC: “In the very close future we will impose tariffs on foreign production of computer chips, semiconductors and pharmaceutical products to return the manufacture of these essential goods to the US (…) went to Taiwan; now we want them to return. We do not want to give them billions of dollars in the ridiculous Biden program. They already have thousands of dollars. money; The Trump government ensures that you will impose tariffs on all electronic devices that incorporate chips produced abroad Although this statement is expressly addressed to TSMC, the Trump government ensures that it will impose tariffs on all electronic devices that incorporate chips produced abroad. They belong or not to US companies. This decision has caused all the large US technology companies to rush with the administration with the purpose of drawing a plan that allows them to dodge tariffs. Apple is one of them. Just a week ago those of Cupertino announced that They will invest 500,000 million dollars in the US During the next four years to dodge the threat of tariffs. This money will be destined, among other purposes, to the construction of a new server factory for artificial intelligence (AI) In Houston, at the point of a training center in Detroit and the creation of 20,000 jobs. This is the context in which TSMC has just confirmed that something similar is going to do. And it is that a few hours ago CC Wei, the president and general director of TSMC, Donald Trump and Howard Lutnick, the US Secretary of Commerce, They have announced that this manufacturer of integrated circuits will invest at least 100,000 million dollars in the construction of five new semiconductor production plants in the US. These facilities are added to which TSMC is already making a point in Arizona (the first of these three factories It has already started chips production). Three of the new five floors will be integrated avant -garde circuit factories, and two of the facilities will be dedicated to the advanced chips packaging. In addition, a research and development center will be ready. Presumably these plants will create, according to TSMC, about 40,000 jobs. Anyway, everyone wins. The US government is achieving its purpose: drastically limiting its dependence on chips manufactured abroad and controlling 40% of global semiconductor production. And TSMC protects itself against a possible future conflict between China and Taiwan, and dodges US tariffs. Image | TSMC More information | Nikkei Asia In Xataka | Intel has a bullet in the bedroom.

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. Tariffs have caused terror among technology

by

Nvidia lost 265,000 million dollars yesterday. It was an especially Aciaga for her, with 8.69% fall in the value of her action, but the day was dyed red throughout the technology industry. The trigger for that setback in the bags was clear: the tariffs. Donald Trump confirms tariffs. After announce tariffs to Canada and Mexicothe US president initially postponed his application, but yesterday announced that they would definitely enter into force as of today. It is a controversial measure that will make imports from Mexico and Canada apply 25%tariffs, which will make these goods more expensive. Immediate drop in bags. Trump’s announcement caused a clear collapse of several technological actions, but Nvidia was undoubtedly one of the most affected, with a fall of 8.69%. Intel lost 4.05%, Broadcom by 6.05%, and supermicro 13%. The red numbers were seen in much of the technological market, with all the great affected, although to a lesser extent than Nvidia. The indices confirm the fall. As They point The Kobeissi Letter analysts, the S&P index already opened down, and Trump’s announcement quickly precipitated the fall: in just six hours the values ​​included in this index had lost more than 100 points, about 1.5 billion dollars jointly. Nvidia’s shares has returned to September 2024 levels. Source: Google Finance. Relationship with Mexico. Although most Nvidia chips are manufactured in Taiwan, some of their most advanced systems and equipment based on these chips are manufactured in other regions that include both the US and Mexico. That means that these products would be affected by these tariffs. Curiously, Trump’s announcement did nothing but reaffirm Mexico’s plans with the Foxconn plant in Jalisco: it will be the most important assembly factory of the GB200 cards with Nvidia Blackwell architecture, and those responsible for They promised which will be finished in a year despite tariffs. TSMC and its project in the US. Trump took advantage of a conference yesterday to confirm The announcement of TSMC, which will invest 100,000 million dollars more – he had yet paid 65,000 million – in manufacturing plants on American soil. Nvidia indicated in CNBC that would manufacture chips in those facilities, which would allow tariffs. In Nvidia they are still optimistic. In spite of everything, Huang Indian A few days ago this second quarter of the year promises to be positive for the company. Everything has already prepared to manufacture their new chips with Blackwell architecture, and have corrected the defects that were detected in the first phases of production. Crypts also collapse.

Elon Musk put an emoji in X and 7,000 million vanished

by

The Mexican millionaire Carlos Slim Helú is the main shareholder of the América Móvil communications company. The telecommunications operator was looking for Improve mobile coverage of his network in those areas of Latin America that did not reach his current infrastructure, so he thought about building a strategic alliance with Elon Musk Starlink for its satellite connection service. All negotiation between America Mobile and Starlink was on wheelsuntil Elon Musk hinted from his X account that Carlos Slim had links with organized crime and drug trafficking. The message about Slim cost 7,000 million to Musk. Friends are not insult. Mexican businessman Carlos Slim Helú has decided to end his negotiation with Starlink, in which he planned to invest a whopping 7,000 million dollars. This decision was made after Elon Musk gave pábulo from his profile of X to publications that linked the Mexican millionaire with the drug trafficking and organized crime business. Elon Musk republishedgiving veracity to the content about Carlos Slim, the message of a user in which it was stated: “It is known that (Carlos Slim) has important links with drug cartels in Mexico. You cannot be a billionaire in Mexico without being part of the network that is controlled and protected.” After these links, Carlos Slim immediately broke the negotiations with Starlink. Musk loses 7,000 million, Slim invests 22,000 million. Instead of continuing depending on Starlink technology, America Mobile has chosen not to depend on US technology has chosen to invest in its own telecommunications infrastructure. With the change, the Slim operator has already announced that it will triple the initial figure planned for the alliance with Starlink, investing about 22,000 million dollars, in the next three years. “It is better to put our towers, plant and optical fiber that links them,” said Slim after breaking the negotiations with Musk. According to The published by ExpansionDaniel Hajj, CEO of America Mobile, confirmed in the presentation of results of the fourth quarter of 2024 that the company was not in negotiations with Starlink. “We are still reviewing if that service makes sense to us. But, for now, we have no ongoing negotiation with satellite companies,” said Hajj. Geopolitical strategy. He political change in the US and the constants tariff threats Trump to Mexico made the Mexican millionaire rethink the convenience of allying with an American company for a matter as delicate as the network infrastructure of its operator, no matter how much the president Claudia Sheinbaum promotes it. As they point from the Mexico Daily Postit is very likely that this investment will now go to companies from China and Europe. The rumors pointed to one of the candidates to improve that network infrastructure would be the division of Telefónica in Argentina, Although America Mobile has not confirmed negotiations between both companies. “We are always open (…) to the synergies that make sense to us, so we are open to review that, but we have not talked to them and we have nothing at this time,” clarifiedHajj.

Honor will try to be a reference in the AI ​​era. Will invest 10,000 million dollars to achieve it

by

Honor has taken advantage of his presence in the MWC 2025 to make it clear that he will not miss the AI ​​era. In fact, the Chinese firm has announced its Honor Alpha Plan initiative, aimed at “building an open ecosystem” of AI devices. And it is already very clear how to achieve it and a first example of what we can enjoy on its devices. 10,000 million dollars in five years. The firm will invest a true fortune in the next five years to be able to boost the use of AI systems on its devices, and it seems that the intention here is to raise an open and interoperable approach. It has been associated with Qualcomm or Google to achieve it, which seems to aim especially to Android devices. And a first Agent. The new manufacturer’s AI system, called Honor AI, welcomes “the agricultural era”, and will precisely allow users of their devices to use it to, among other things, reserve a table for dinner with hardly any effort. Reservations in restaurants. In a small demonstration Shared in x Honor showed how it has been possible to integrate its AI with platforms as opening to make a table reservation in a restaurant near the MWC. Honor AI understands you and deduces things alone. In fact, the petition indicated that the reservation would be carried out in order to enjoy local specialties without more, which quickly made the intention “based on location and sought typical dishes of Spanish gastronomy. And it’s just the beginning, they say in honor. From that moment on, the model “begins to reason”, They assured In honor, and after analyzing even traffic to avoid possible delays, it suggests a reservation at a table at 7:30 p.m. The system has been developed in collaboration with Qualcomm and Google to create a functional AI agent that allows you to be connected to APIS dystitnas and platforms to interact with the graphic interfaces of these services without apparent problems. But. The demonstration is very similar to one of those that Amazon made last week when presenting its new Alexa+, which also raises those options of agriculture with which to automate various types of task. It seems clear that these types of options are those that will first reach our devices, and it is very likely that honor is not the only one to offer such an option. Hyperrápidas transfers. In the event, honor managers also talked about a new file transfer system capable of transmitting files between mobile phones from different brands at transfer speeds of 125 Mb/s, but also ensure that this option will also end up reaching Macs, PCs and mobile devices to enjoy those wireless transfers between all those products. AND DEPFAKES detection. With the purpose of protecting our privacy and the security of our data, in honor they have worked in several areas. Thus, they launch their technology to “anonymity” certain data of the photos and prevent them from climbing to the cloud, but they also have another curious system. It is a Deepfake detector, which allows if we receive for example a video or we are in a video call, the system warns us if it is suspected that it can be a video of a person generated by AI and not a real person. Aimage. Honor has also presented a new AI system for image processing taken with its cameras. Called Aimage, it consists in the first place of a kernel of AI. This component uses AI models both in local and in the cloud that will provide various options. For example Improvement of the definition of imagesTelefoto by AI, draft with AI (such as the magic draft of Google) or the “expansion” of images if we need to extend an image for example to be higher or more wide.

38,000 million dollars to lift Tesla and Spacex

by

Elon Musk’s mission at this time, at least in doge, is Cut the budget of the Federal Government of the United States in two billion dollars. It is not, obviously, a trivial figure, but rather amazing if we take into account that this budget currently amounts to 7 billion dollars. Hence the conflict of interest of a person who has Tesla or Spacex among his companies, It hasn’t taken long. Yet, The Washington Post has just revealed The, possibly, the greatest paradox of the richest man in the world. An empire with 38,000 million. It told the environment that the rise of Musk as the richest entrepreneur in the world has been deeply linked to the financial support of the United States government. How much? With At least 38,000 million dollars in contracts, subsidies, loans and tax credits for their companies over two decades. In other words: Musk is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the taxpayers’ coffers and, although the tycoon has promoted a disruptive innovation and business independence, its success has depended on the Government’s key investments at critical moments for Tesla, Spacex and other companies in its ecosystem, as we will see below. Investments, o generosity of the State, which now paradoxically has the mission of trimming. The case of Tesla: from collapse to domain. In 2008, when Tesla faced serious financial problems, Musk pressed to obtain A loan of 465 million dollars of the energy department, an amount that was fundamental For the manufacture of Model S and the purchase of its plant in Fremont, California. Without this support, the company would have collapsed. In addition, Tesla has obtained 11.4 billion dollars In regulatory credits for selling carbon bonds to other automotive, a crucial factor for their profitability in key years. Although Musk has criticized government subsidies For consumers, your company has been one of the main beneficiaries of fiscal credits for the purchase of electric vehicles. But there is more. Since its foundation, Tesla has also received billions in state and local incentives, including 1.3 billion dollars In Nevada for its battery gigaphal and 750 million dollars in New York For the Failure SolarCitywhich was then absorbed by Tesla. Despite these benefits, in 2021 Musk moved the Tesla headquarters of California to Texas, arguing a more favorable regulatory environment. The Spacex case: contracts to master space. Since its creation in 2002, Spacex has depended largely on Contracts with NASA and the Department of Defense. Before achieving its first successful launch, the company had already received NASA 278 million dollars In 2006 and then A contract of 1.8 billion dollars In 2008 for the transport of supplies to the International Space Station. Government investment allowed Spacex to develop Falcon 9today the pillar of your business, and benefit from Defense and Espionage Missions for Pentagonsome of them classified and valued at billions. In 2024, Spacex generated 9.3 billion dollars In income from your service Starlink satellite Internetalthough it continues to depend on contracts with federal agencies. Despite their growth, analysts point out that privileged access to government financing has allowed him to overcome competitors such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin in the aerospace industry. Musk and subsidies. They remembered in The report of the post that Musk has publicly advocated The elimination of government subsidiescriticizing the Biden Inflation Reduction Law, the same that Ironically made Tesla would qualify again For tax incentives. In this way, while maintaining that your company is self -sufficient, its success has been based on A model that combines State investment and private capital, a strategy that has allowed it to consolidate the leadership of Tesla and Spacex, but without the same risks that other entrepreneurs face. In this regard, the Professor John Helveston From George Washington University, he pointed out that “every aspect of Tesla has been promoted by subsidies and public financing”, which makes Musk’s rhetoric against government aids It is contradictory. At the same time, its impulse to cut subsidies throughout the industry has affected emerging companies that depend on the same type of support that Tesla had in its beginnings. The role of government in the Musk Empire. The truth is that, despite his libertarian speech, Musk continues to benefit from multimillionaire government contracts and preferential access to state programs. In the last five years, almost Two thirds of the 38 billion dollars In public funds that have promoted their companies have been granted in the form of new contracts or incentives. With 52 active contracts with agencies such as NASA, the Department of Defense and the Administration of General Services, Your connection with the government It remains a fundamental pillar of its business success. Although his influence and his fortune They have grown exponentiallyits relationship with the government remains rather ambivalent: while criticizing state intervention in the economy, it continues to receive the financial support that has cemented its empire. Under this context, Musk does not seem to be only the richest entrepreneur on the planet, but also one of the biggest beneficiaries of public spending in the United States, which now promotes cutting.

watered them with 500 million dollars

by

Larry Ellison He is known for being co -founder of Oracle, consultant close to Donald Trump and the fourth largest fortune in the world, According to the list of millionaires of Forbes. The millionaire invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a technological agriculture project in Lanai, its private island in Hawaii, As published The Wall Street Journal. His idea was to revolutionize the way in which they produce food Through an innovative and sustainable approach, combining advanced technology with methods of Modern hydroponic agriculture. To carry out the project, Ellison created the Sensei AG company, which promised to develop an innovative vegetable cultivation model that would allow multiplying the Food production in the future. However, this ambitious plan has not developed as Ellison expected and has become another example of the technological challenges that agriculture has ahead. Lanai, Ellison’s paradise In 2012, Larry Ellison bought 98% of the island De Lanai, in Hawaii, for 200 million dollars. His intention, in addition to turning it into his holiday retirement, was to transform it into a sustainability laboratory. One of its key projects was the development of vertical agriculture by Sensei AG, which aspired to produce Fresh and healthy foods using less land surface and natural resources. According to WSJEllison allocated an initial investment of 500 million dollars with the aim of building Six greenhouses equipped with high technology and design an intelligent irrigation system that will optimize the use of water. “The greenhouse structures were optimized for tulips in Holland in the seventeenth century and have not suffered great improvements since then,” said David Agus, friend of Ellison and one of the founders of Sensei AG. Sensei AG built greenhouses and equipped them with advanced sensors, artificial intelligence and weather control systems. These greenhouses had to ensure the conducive conditions to produce fruits, vegetables and other high quality foods, reducing The environmental impact. In addition, the founder of Oracle planned to use renewable energy to feed these facilities to create a complete sustainable model, so that it could be deployed in other parts of the world. The island did not make it easy. If something may fail, it will fail In the 20s of the last century, Lanai became a huge estate dedicated to Pineapple cultivationto the point of producing 75% of the world supply of this fruit. This intensive culture and Chemical agents used To accelerate maturation they ravaged the fields, which reduced the land productivity of the island. The climatology of the island also raised problems since the Israeli engineers who built the greenhouses did not take into account the humidity of the island or their gusts of wind. So the coverage of 12 million dollars of greenhouses flew through the airfiring the repair cost up to 50 million dollars. Elon Musk, Larry Ellison’s personal friend, took care of provide solar panels that would feed the technology of greenhouses. However, again the strong winds They constantly dirty the panels that were unused. According to the article of The Wall Street Journalon many occasions they had to obtain electricity connecting diesel generators. In addition to failing the roofs, solar energy and land, Sensei AG employees had to deal with an unexpected problem: Wi -Fi coverage failures. It may seem a minor evil, but in a high -tech greenhouse in which there are hundreds of sensors that graduate the light, temperature, humidity or ventilation, having wifi makes the difference between a successful harvest or a failure. 500 million dollars in cherry tomatoes Although the Sensei AG plans were very ambitious, the project faced the same profitability dilemmas that farmers suffer In any corner of the planet. “The vision was very large, but then it was gradually diluted as we faced the realities of Lanai implementation,” he said in Young, former general manager of Lanai’s facilities. The operational costs of advanced facilities and the Greenhouse maintenance were too high compared to the income generated by the sale of food. And that Sensei became the largest producer of different Types of lettuce and tomato cherry Hawaii. Its founding objective of “feeding the world” has been an absolute failure. Now, the project will focus on the development of agricultural management software, using its greenhouses as a test laboratory, with the aim of selling the necessary software and hardware in the form of a package that other farms can franchise. In addition, it has started operations to the south of California to implement Robotized culture systems that automate plantation care. For Lanai, the partial closure of the Sensei AG project generated doubts about Ellison’s long -term plans for the island. Some residents criticized that their agricultural resources were used for technological experiments instead of helping the supply of provisions of the island, which must import between 80% and 90% of the products it consumes.

There are up to half a million in play and three -year prison sentences

by

Seven radars distributed along different conventional roads (2 in the Community of Madrid, 2 in Castilla-La Mancha, 2 in Castilla y León and 1 in the Valencian Community) have been vandalized and the DGT has already filed the corresponding complaints to investigate the facts and try to find the causes of damage. This has been confirmed by the traffic body. The damage has been committed, they say, both in fixed radars and in section radars and damage costs ascend to 67,000 euros In the case of fixed cinemometers and 66,000 euros for section radars. Therefore, the maximum cost of damages can rise to 469,000 euros. The cost of radars, both section and fixed, is so high due to the enormous amount of technology they have. Explain the DGT on its own website That a stretch radar consists of cameras that use laser technology to capture images continuously, an apparatus to guarantee communication between the entrance and exit of the section and a last device that calculates the time spent to overcome the guarded section.
