numbers

The calls spam from numbers 600 and 700 will be prohibited from tomorrow. The question is where you will call you now

by

Saturday, June 7. It is the date on which the normative reform through which the realization of commercial calls from numbers assigned to mobile lines comes into force It is prohibited. The Minister for Digital and Public Transformation advanced in mid -May two amendments to achieve it. From that date, the operators cannot call you from a 6xx number, they will have to do it from an 800 or 900. The question now is what number we can call. The change. Until now, companies had free way to Call you from phone numbers with prefix 6 or 7the same ones that have any individual on your mobile phone. It was a tactic that prevented the user from recognizing a first glance whether or not they were calling him from an advertising department, and one with which the Government will end immediately. From June 7, any call for commercial purposes must be made from a number with prefix 800 or 900. It will be the way we will have the Spaniards to recognize when they are calling us for advertising purposes. Additional to this measure, companies They can’t call you from foreign numbersnor formalize the closure of a contract by phone. The reactions. Digi, one of the operators that grows the most in Spain and aspires to occupy the national top 3 in the short term, It has been the first to move file. Until now, the company could contact the number 642 642 642 and 1200. With the new change, the new customer service is 919 120 120. All calls received from customer service will be from that 900, a practice that the rest of the operators will have to follow immediately to comply with the new regulation. At the moment, giants like Vodafone Where will you have to call you. As a consumer, when calling, change will affect you in cases where the company completely eliminates the number 600 for customer service. The law forces them to call you from 900, but does not prohibit that you call a 600. It will be necessary to inform themselves on the website of each of the companies to know how the changes have applied. Companies are obliged to replace this prefix for a 900 or 800 for their outgoing calls, but Digi has shown that “The easy number” (1200, 1004, 1444) which we always call will remain alive. It is a logical movement, since the legislation does not modify the numbers to those we call Consumers only affect numbers From those who call us. The problem. Although the government wants to reduce the impact of the so -called spam in Spain, the underlying problem remains alive: The consent. Even if you are in the Robinson list, you may receive calls from companies that you think you have not given permission. Sometimes, we have been able to give consent without even knowing it (having formalized a contract, giving a “yes” during a call, etc.). The foundations of “Legitimate interest” They are also diffuse. If the company calls to improve our service and offer discounts, It can be considered as a desired communication.

We believed that the large numbers of soldiers dead in combat were a thing of the past. Until the Ukraine War arrived

by

This week a New report Updated from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington. The data, by drudos, left the imagination a few doubts: just over three years after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict has reached low figures that place it between The bloodiest of modern history. We have attended historical statistics to find out how much. The human cost of a stagnant war. As we said, the CSIS study revealed that the total number of dead or injured soldiers amounts to almost 1.4 millionof which around one million are Russians and 400,000 Ukrainians. This figure is even more shocking if it is considered that Ukraine does not publish its official data and that Russia, according to Experts warnsystematically underestimate your losses. The study is based on estimates from American and British sources, in addition to satellite images and field analysis. The slowest war. The work tells more things. For example, despite the huge number of casualties, Russian territorial advances since January 2024 have been practically insignificant: less than 1% of the conquered Ukrainian territory, with an average advance rhythm of just 50 meters per day, even more than even the more expensive offensives of World War I. Today, Russia occupies approximately the 20% of the Ukrainian territorybut without achieving decisive advances. This slowness, together with the Mass destruction Of war material, he has turned the Russian campaign one of the clearest examples of wear war of the 21st century. Irreplaceable losses. However, if something betrays the brutality of the contest in Ukraine, that is the data of the CSIS that estimates that at least 250,000 Russian soldiers They have died in combat, which represents the highest military mortality rate of any Soviet or Russian war since World War II. For its part, Ukraine would have lost between 60,000 and 100,000 soldiers. However, the proportion of forces in the front It is overwhelming: More than 400,000 Russian soldiers in front of about 250,000 Ukrainians, with Russia benefiting from a much larger population and aggressive replacement mechanisms. As We have counted: Moscow has avoided declaring a new general mobilization, but has resorted to Recruitment of prisonersdebtors and people with criminal causes, to whom it offers lucrative contracts or the cancellation of charges in exchange for the military service. CSIS data shows a shocking Moscow casualties against other conflicts where Russia was The historical scope. With the figure offered by the CSIS We have attended the historical statistics of similar war conflicts (excluding civil or genocide wars), all after World War II, to measure the scope and impact of the losses that are taking place in Ukraine on the Russian side. The base is that estimate of 250,000 losses since the beginning of the conflict in 2022. A point and apart. The first data we found is that the estimation of the 250,000 losses makes the Ukrainian conflict The most lethal For Russian forces since World War II, surpassing the losses in Afghanistan (1979–1989), where the USSR lost Around 15,000 soldiersbut in ten years. Comparatively, in the Korean War (1950–1953), China (the main ally of North Korea) lost Between 180,000 and 400,000 fighters in three years of conflict, while the United States registered some 33,700 casualties in combat. Not even Vietnam. In the Vietnam War (1955–1975), United States He suffered 58,220 deathsbut, again, it happened in a period of twenty years. For his part, Northern Vietnam lost Between 400,000 and 1.1 million Of soldiers, although those figures, again, accumulate over two decades. Even in the devastating Guerra Iran -ira (1980–1988), with close to One million combined casualtiesonly Iran exceeded the current Russian figures in a longer period, with estimates of 200,000 to 262,000 dead. Therefore, the intensity of Russian losses, concentrated in a short period, is exceptional in the history of contemporary interstate conflicts. Deep consequences. It is the last of the legs to analyze. Russia, despite having a population greater than Ukraine and, a priori, a deeper human replacement capacity, faces a accelerated erosion of their professional military capacity. Unlike previous conflicts where deaths were distributed in longer campaigns, the current wear of wear (right now around 7,000 soldiers dead per month) threat with structural degrade to its armed forces. If these levels are maintained, Russia could exceed the psychological and logistic threshold that prevents you from sustaining the offensive. In front of wars such as the Gulf (1990–1991), where Iraq lost between 20,000 and 35,000 soldiers In just over a month, or the invasion of Iraq in 2003, where the United States suffered less than 5,000 casualties In eight years, the contrast is, if possible, even more extreme. The war in Ukraine, in terms of direct military loss and temporary concentration, has become an atypical case for its lethality and its potential for internal destabilization for the aggressor country.

JPMorgan has managed to generate really random numbers. The questions are what he needs them for and how he has done it

by

A classic computer cannot generate Really random numbers. The algorithms used in computer science to produce this type of numbers resort to an initial value usually known as “seed”, so that making mathematical calculations with it is possible Generate one or several pseudo -elementary numbers. In this context it is necessary to use the ‘pseudo’ prefix because the need to resort to that initial value, to that seed, causes the numbers that we obtain Don’t be really random. In fact, when taking the seed we have several options. Some algorithms resort to the system clock, and it is even possible to increase the apparent randomness of the generated numbers sequence using entropy sourcessuch as the mouse movement or the temperature of the CPU in a certain moment. Even so, the numbers that we will obtain will not be really random because it is possible to predict them if we know the seed and the operations that have been carried out to generate them. Quantum computers, rescue For the gigantic American financial conglomerate JPMorgan the random numbers are very important. A priori may seem strange that a bank is interested in the procedures for generating this type of numbers, but, in reality, this capacity lies in the heart of their business. And it is that random numbers are fundamental in cryptography techniques Employees, for example, to transmit encrypted information, work with cryptocurrencies, develop gambling, and, in general, in any process in which it is necessary to have a randomly as possible randomness. To test their plan they executed their algorithm on a quantum computer of 56 cubits with ion traps manufactured by Quantinuum For this reason, in May 2023, several JPMorgan cryptographers wrote an algorithm of random generation generation that was designed to be executed in a quantum computer. Its strategy was to take advantage of the randomness inherent in the behavior of the cubits, whose functioning is governed by The rules of quantum physics, To generate bits whose randomness It could be proven afterwards. To test their plan they executed their algorithm on a quantum computer of 56 cubits with ion traps manufactured by the American company Quantinuum, which belongs to Honeywell. And it worked. They have detailed the result of their experiment in a very interesting article that they have published in Nature. To check if the numbers given by their quantum algorithm are really random JPMorgan researchers worked side by side with scientists from the National Argonne Laboratory, the National Laboratory OAK RIDGE and the University of Texas in Austin. In Your article develop the method they have used to Mathematically demonstrate using super -touches of the US Department of Energy that the numbers delivered by the quantum computer are genuinely random. “It is a revolutionary result (…) the next step requires understanding where we can apply this technology,” Asses Marco Pistoialeader of the project and head of applied research in Global Technology of JPMorgan.

We thought we were 8,000 million people throughout the planet. Until some researchers began to make numbers

by

In November 2022, the UN celebrated that we were already 8,000 million humans on earth. They are estimates, of course, but beyond the figure, the really interesting thing is that in 2023 We do not reach the replacement rate and that humanity will reach its peak at the end of the century to, irremediably, Start falling. But … to what extent can we trust those accounts? It is something that takes time on the table, and now a study It arrives to add more spicy when we affirmed that we have been making it counting. So much that we have left several hundred million people along the way. Can we trust the numbers? “Calculating the number of people on the planet is an inaccurate science.” That was the comment of demographer Jakub Bijak a BBC In the middle of last year, just when the Study of world population perspectives. Something scientific is something exact, but the researcher also commented that the only thing that can be sure when predicting population figures is of the lack of certainty. That, eye, does not mean that demographers get the figures out of nowhere. “It is something difficult based on our experience, knowledge and each piece of information we have,” said Toshiko Kanera, an expert in demographic forecasts. The demographers drink from the data and trends of each country since 1950, but … what if it had not been well told? We are missing millions. In a new study published in Natureresearchers from the University of Aalto in Finland show how the data sets that demographers manage to “deep and systematic” the population figures worldwide. The serious thing is that we would be talking about hundreds of millions more people living on earth. Example of the tools that demographers use in their analysis. Each corresponds to a different bias The rural areas. Josias Láng-Rritter is one of the investigators in charge of the study and points to the accounts made in a specific segment: that of the rural population. “For the first time, our study provides evidence that a significant proportion of the rural population could be absent in the data sets of the global population,” he says. As we say, we don’t talk about a few million, but thousands of millions. “Depending on the data set used, rural populations have been underestimated between 53% and 84% in the period studied. The results are notable, since these data sets have been used in thousands of studies and have widely supported decision making, but their precision has not been systematically evaluated,” says the researcher. The map shows the location of the 307 rural areas analyzed in the study. It was found that the populations reported in the graph were underestimated between 53% and 84% | University of Aalto Biases. Attempts to review these data are not new, but previous investigations have focused on specific countries or urban areas. The researchers at the University of Aalto have wanted to take a more global photo when comparing the five most used population data sets worldwide. They have used maps that divide the planet into high resolution grids and have taken as a very concrete reference: the resettlement figures of more than 300 rural dams projects in 35 countries. Why this dam bias? Because When a dam is builtthe population that lives in the area that will be flooded is relocated and precise resettlement data is usually had. When comparing this population data from 1975 to 2010, the researchers found that the 2010 maps were more precise, but still omitted between 32% and 77% of the rural population. Between 2015 and 2020 the data sets were updated, but the demographers continue to consider that the underestimation of the rural population continues to exist and is a problem that persists in all regions of the world. Consequences. And we are talking about a problem whose resolution is complex. According to researchers, no matter how much the data is reviewed, it is a structural problem. Governments do not have the resources to collect precise data in these rural regions, there is a huge discrepancy between the real population and the one reported in the population maps that are used to carry out demographic studies and that influences decision making. Average percentage of rural population estimated down (red and orange) and overestimated (blue) | University of Aalto And it is important. Current estimates place 43% of 8,200 million World inhabitants in rural areas -And 3,526 million people- and if we take into account that it is a percentage that has underestimated between 53% and 84%, we are not talking about little population, precisely. And it is essential to know exactly how many we are for a simple reason: the redistribution of resources. No data. The lack of precise demographic records can affect political decision making. Ritter sets the example of social decisions. “In many countries, there may not be enough available data at the national level, so they depend on the global population maps to support their decisions: do we need an asphalted road or a hospital? How much medicine is needed in a specific area? How many people could be affected by natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods?” Making quick accounts, in the best scenario – the 53% deviation in the rural population – we would talk about 1,869 million people who would not have counted. In the worst case, in the 84% not registered, we would talk about 2,962 million people. In Nature’s study, they put an example Paraguay, which in the 2012 census may have left out a quarter of the population. Reviewing the methods. In the analysis of the team, there are countries that come out better than others. They put Finland as an example of reliable data, even in rural regions, because they began bringing digital records of the population 30 years ago. However, in countries in which this conscientious digital registry has taken longer to be implemented due to crisis of any kind, … Read more
