Ryanair continues to sell flights at bus price and still earns a lot of money. Your business starts after check-in

May 13, 2025 by usatoday24

An any of April. Madrid-Milán for 15 euros. The passenger clicks “accept” without thinking. At five clicks – 10 kilos pole, seat selection, priority boarding -, The amount already exceeds 60. Uugh. Ryanair is enough that arithmetic as simple as relentless to show off record benefits while their rivals scratch cents or directly lose money. Where is the magic? Why does its cost structure seem unbeatable? Accounts against intuition Ryanair’s last fiscal year closed with a benefit of almost 2,000 million and a solid growth over 2023: 1,920 million euros of net profit. Year -on -year growth of 34%. 13,440 million euros in income. 183.7 million transported passengers. Average occupation of 94% in its airplanes. All according to Your annual report of 2024. By 2025 it plans to go further, and it is already on the way to exceed 200 million travelers. In a sector where even Lufthansa (4%) or Air France-KLM (2%) barely reach margins of a digit, Ryanair moves comfortably in the environment of 14-15%net profitability, according to Capa analysis. Let’s see why. It does not give benefits to fly, but for everything else Ryanair has been refining a mantra for years: disaggregate the trip to the last screw and collect for everything that happens before, during and after the seat of the plane. There are several concepts there, but first of all, one stands out: that of the Auxiliary incomewhich reached 4.3 billion euros in 2024, one third of the billing, and 23.4 euros per passenger, according to their results report. What are they? Luggage. From the cabin suitcase to billing. From 12 or 13 euros to 75 euros according to the season. Seat and priority. Choose place, travel with the family or the group in contiguous seats or embark first, part of 3 or 4 euros and can reach 35 euros. Sales on board. From snacks and drinks to raffles or Duty-Free. Third Party Commissions. Hotels, rental cars, insurance … Everything is inserted in the purchase flow to capture margin without even their own inventory. Subscriptions and gift cards. As choice fidelity programs. We could put in the equation even to institutional advertising. A reef. Cantabria is paying 18 million euros in four years for Ryanair to “promote” the brand on its website and maintain routes, he revealed eldiario.es. This proposal touches the Freemium And in fact nine years ago The CEO said That “within five to ten years, prices will be free, in that case the flights will be full”, referring to the possibility of monetizing both the aforementioned roads, and with the distribution of airport income. It is not something that has happened or seems that it will happen, at least within the period. The cost that fits in a backpack Ryanair presumes that Fly costs 34 euros per passengernot counting the fuel. The figure comes from an internal slide projected in Milan and exhibited by The Flight Club. If we crumble it … Staff: 8 euros. It lowers it with multipurpose crews and flexible contracts. Airport and Handling: 8 euros. It resorts to local subsidies, bases in secondary (cheaper) airports and the payment of minimum rates Property and maintenance. 8 euros. Its homogeneous fleet of Boeing 737 that lowers with mass orders that derive in large discounts. Routes and navigation. 6 euros. It resorts to point flights, without connections that make the final price more expensive. Others. 4 euros. Little for a minimal business structure and the use of free or low cost viral marketing. To compare: Easyjet, your rival Low Costhas a cost of more than double, 79 euros per person. Wizz Air leaves it at 52 euros. Always without counting the fuel. The traditional ones, such as Lufthansa, can go above 160 euros. That is what we add the increasing number of people who fly with Ryanair. There are four key levers that are worth highlighting: Unique and dense fleet. Those mentioned 737 (has more than half a thousand of thema good part of those of 197 places) consume 16% less fuel per seat and add 4% capacity. Simple mathematics. Express rotation. Since an airplane touches wheels until it takes again as soon as half an hour passes. That allows each plane to fly more hours and distribute amortization on more flights and more seats. Digital approach. He Check-in face -to -face costs 55 euros. A deterrence for most, a tariff for the accommodation in the analog. The result is that 99% do it online and Ryanair barely needs counter. AND wants to go further. Low profile airports. Stansted instead of Heathrow, Beauvais instead of Charles de Gaulle. Rates can be up to 80% cheaper and times direct and indirect public aid in order to preserve routes can compensate. The undercover subsidies, by the way, are overcoming borders and Morocco is following that wake. Spain, perfect laboratory The relationship of Spain with Ryanair is unique. This airline It controls almost 20% of flights that land or take off in Spain. The following in the ranking, at a certain distance, are also Low Cost. Besides, Spain is Ryanair’s second marketonly behind Italy and above the United Kingdom, with 2,416 million euros in revenue last year. However, the Fine of 179 million euros to airlines Low Cost imposed by the Ministry of Consumer in November also Ryanair splashed fully, who was charged 108 of those millionsreceivable hand luggage. O’Leary, the CEO, in its unbridled line, He called “Crazy Communist” Minister Pablo Bustinduy at a press conference threatened to cut routes in protest of what he considered an “illegal” fine. These types of orders are not isolated, but a usual play: it is enough to pronounce that threat to, very often, get the authorities to give up, although sometimes it does not happen and in fact Spain is getting tired of them. Is what has happened for example In Valladolid and Jerez this year. Some airports depend on their traffic in 60%, Ryanair knows it and plays with it in his favor to … Read more

Alzheimer’s starts long before its symptoms. And we have discovered one of its first mechanisms

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

We generally associate Alzheimer’s disease with memory loss since this is probably its most visible symptom. However, it is still what we do not know about the biological processes that unleash these symptoms. Piece by piece, we are solving this immense puzzle. New mechanism. A team in which researchers from the Severo Ochoa Molecular Biology Center (CBM-CSIC-UAM) participate He has discovered A mechanism linked to the early development of Alzheimer’s disease. The key component of this mechanism is in a protein called SFRP1. Astrocytes and SFRP1. As described by the team responsible for the finding, in the origin of the mechanism are brain cells called astrocytes. Astrocytes They are glial cells (A type of nerve cell) that for a while we thought were “assistants” of neurons but whose relevance we are seeing grow. In a mice -based model, the new study has shown that these cells could play an important role in the appearance of Alzheimer’s through an “excessive” production of the SFRP1 protein. This protein is one of the compounds involved in the regulation of communication between different cells during development, but in later stages of life its excess may imply risks. A “jam” in the brain. As the equipment continues, the accumulation of the SFRP1 protein in the adult brain is associated with chronic inflammatory processes associated with aging, and also to Alzheimer’s own disease. The problem arises when this excess blocks the activity of the adam10 enzyme, which plays a key role in maintaining the proper functioning of neuronal connections. “This blockage generates an imbalance that deteriorates synaptic plasticity, an essential cell mechanism to form and consolidate memories that allows neurons to regulate their connectivity in response to different stimuli,” They explain in a press release. Long -term synaptic potentiation. The accumulation of the SFRP1 protein would thus be interfering with a process called LTP or long -term synaptic potentiation. This is a “fundamental” process for learning and memory, the team stands out. A vital process in brain plasticity, that is, that allows the neuronal connections that are most frequently used to be reinforced, something indispensable when consolidating new memories. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Cell Reports. A possible trigger. The fight against Alzheimer’s is a fight against the clock. The appearance of its most easily noticeable effects is associated with lesions already irreversible in the brain, so the only remaining route of action is to delay the advance of the disease. The techniques focused on detecting the internal signs of the disease, mainly the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain can allow us to advance ourselves to the appearance of the external symptoms of the disease. Now, the new study Open a road To get into stages still prior to the disease. “The increase of SFRP1 in early stages seems to act as an active engine of pathology, not as a simple companion of other degenerative processes,” Explain in the press release Guadalupe Pereyra, co -author of the study. Beyond rodents. Like any study in mice, extrapolating its conclusions can be complicated, so studies that validate what you have learned and the degree to which it is applicable to the development of the disease in humans will be needed. Converting what has learned into new therapeutic pathways will not be simple either, but this type of advance can help us in different ways. First, because understanding the disease and its mechanisms is essential in order to find a future cure; and second, since in the fight against their symptoms, Early detection It is a very important advantage.

If the question is when 6g will arrive in Spain, Ericsson has given us the answer: when 5g starts

March 9, 2025 by usatoday24

A constant question in technology is what will be as follows. And after 3G, the 4g and the 5g The answer is clear: the 6g. We fantasize with infarction speeds and a more connected world, but in our Tour with Ericsson executives for the Mobile World Congress The transparency exercise was clear. They told us that, in Europe, 5G is in diapers. Insufficient. One of the main reasons for this gap is the lack of deployment in the millimeter band (MMWAVE), an essential component to reach the speeds and ultra -tanking that 5G promises. Compared to countries such as Japan, South Korea or the United States, we are very late in implementing millimetric band solutions. Although we are expected to talk about 6G from 2030, in Ericsson they are clear that the 5G potential has not yet been unlocked. The European context. Europe has opted for an approach (perhaps too much) conservative in the deployment of 5g. Instead of promoting the millimeter band (24 GHz – 100 GHz) as other regions have done, most European countries have prioritized medium bands (mainly 3.5 GHz) and casualties (700 MHz). This attends to concrete reasons, and that is that deploying in the middle and low wave allows us to offer a very wide coverage with less towers. This allows lower investment in infrastructure, in addition to being able to take advantage of a good part of the existing 4g bases. In good part of European countries, such as Spain, Germany or France, the real millimeter band deployment remains marginal and still focused on pilot tests. What’s out. On the contrary, countries like the United States have been betting hard for the millimeter band. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) auction a good part of the spectrum since 2019, and giants such as AT&T and T-Mobile have already deployed their MMWave networks. Japan combines middle band and MMWave, using this last band, especially for factor automation processes and connectivity in events such as Tokyo Olympic Games. Other countries, such as South Korea, face delicate situations. There, spectrum was assigned in the 28 GHz band for MMWave, but the operators They ended up returning the licenses. There was no clear demand for services that justified the investment, and the operators found no way to make it profitable. After the initial disaster, the government has returned to auction the spectrum, with incentives to the operators with less regulatory restrictions, more aid and the objective that the country does not stay behind in its deployment. What about 6g. It is expected that, from 2030, let’s start talking about 6g. One of its objectives is 6G is further reduce the latency in connections and significantly increase the transmission speed. At the moment, spectrum has not been defined for this standard and the spectrum bands that will be used for data transmission are unknown. According to IU-R M.21606g aspires to achieve A 200 Gbps peak speed and stable speeds between 300 and 500 Mbps. In the same way, it aims to reduce latency up to 0.1 ms and support a traffic capacity per area in a 30 mbit/s/m2 – 50 mbit/s/m2. A technology that will multiply speed, minimize latency and expand use cases. The problem? The 5G has been with us for more than six years, and is still taking its first steps. What are we doing to improve 5G uses. Giants like Ericsson bet on continuing to innovate in 5G, and much of that innovation develops in Spain. The company has R&D centers in Malaga, Madrid and Barcelona, having generated more than 1,500 patents. The company showed us how the future of 5G is quite focused on the B2B world, and how it will be possible to diversify services depending on customer demand. We have all normalized paying for fiber connection at home and paying more or less depending on the demand: in Ericsson they think that part of the 5G services will come for this same approach. There are more and more 5G implementations with artificial intelligence Image | Pexels In Xataka | Japan already has its first prototype with 6g: the results have been a success

Deepseek has given the starting gun in the race for a cheaper AI. And China starts with advantage

February 13, 2025 by usatoday24

Deepseek echo resonates three weeks after stirring the foundations of the industry of the artificial intelligence (AI). And possibly will continue to monopolize attention for much longer. After all, this model created by the Chinese company High-Flyer has been transformed In a symbol for China. In this Asian country there are dozens of companies involved in the development of AI, but none has so far made so much noise in such a short time As Deepseek. Also, according to Reuters Several experts in this sector have predicted that the open source nature of this model and its low access rates through its own API (application programming interface) could promote the adoption of AI and the development of applications for this technology for this technology . In Deepseek practice it has the ability to help Chinese companies cope with better Export restrictions of the avant -garde GPUs produced by US companies, such as NVIDIA or AMD. Huawei and other manufacturers want to expel Nvidia from the Chinese market Nvidia is losing competitiveness in China. It is inevitable. The H20 GPU on paper is much less capable than the most sophisticated chips that Jensen Huang’s signature currently sells. At the moment the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has not officialized anything, but the administration led by Xi Jinping has restricted since last August the purchase of GPU H20 of Nvidia by Chinese companies. GPUs for Chinese are appreciated by companies such as Bytedance for their good performance in inference tasks On the other hand, Huawei has lists its own GPU for AI, the chips ascend Ai, for more than five years. During this period of time it has been refining them and increasing their abilities with the purpose of matching or even overcoming the performance of the chips A100 and H100 of Nvidia. “Training is important, but it only happens a few times. Huawei focuses mainly on inferencewhich, ultimately, will give us access to more customers “, Ensures Georgios Zacharopoulosa senior researcher of AI who works in the Huawei laboratory in Zurich (Switzerland). During the last weeks Huawei and other Chinese chip designers for AI, such as Hygon, Enflame, Tsingmicro or Moore Threads, have declared that their solutions will be compatible with the models of AI developed by Deepseek, although for the moment they have barely given more details. The interesting thing, and this is the authentic trick of Chinese companies, is that their GPUs, especially Huawei Ascend 910b chips, are appreciated by companies such as Bytedance for their good performance in inference tasks. Inference is broadly the computational process carried out by language models with the purpose of generating the responses that correspond to the requests they receive. Anyway This declaration of Lian Jyechief analyst of the omdia technology consultant, expresses very well Why Deepseek is a great opportunity For Chinese GPU manufacturers: “This development is very aligned with the abilities of Chinese designers (…) GPUs for Chinese and require a more localized and specific understanding of the industry. “ Image | Huawei More information | Reuters In Xataka | The Nvidia pulse and US administration becomes more virulent.

The Sundance festival starts with an eye on Los Angeles

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

PARK CITY, Utah — With a day in advance because the Oscar nominations are announced Thursday morning, the heads of the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival shared at the Filmmakers Lodge what they expect from the next week and a half, in which more than 150 titles selected from more than 16,000 applications including feature filmsshorts, documentaries and episodic films. The reception also brought together part of the press that will cover the most important independent film festival in the world in an event in which the difficult situation that many members of history are experiencing in Los Angeles due to the fires was remembered. The evening included speeches by Amanda Kelso, interim executive director of the Sundance Institute, Eugene Hernandez, director of the Sundance Film Festival; Kim Yutani, festival programming director; and John Nein, Senior Programmer and Director of Strategic Initiatives. Los Angeles on everyone’s mind Kelso began his speech with emotional words about the recent challenges faced in Southern California, acknowledging the “incalculable loss” experienced by many, including members of the Sundance community. “This situation reminds us how fragile everything is. The amazing thing is how we can come together now. This is almost a healing moment for us,” Kelso said, emphasizing the importance of community and connection. Before each screening of the festival, a QR code will be displayed on the screen that those present can scan to access information on how to help those affected by the fires in Los Angeles. Kelso also reiterated the festival’s dedication to showcasing underrepresented voices. “Sundance is a festival of discovery,” he said. No headquarters defined yet for 2027 Kim Yutani, director of programming and Eugene Hernández, director of the Sundance Film Festival. Yutani pointed out that less than 1% of the titles presented are selected for the festival.Credit: Shutterstock for Sundance Film Festival | Shutterstock Eugene Hernández highlighted the unifying spirit of the festival, describing this year’s program as an opportunity to “discover global stories” that entertain, provoke and inspire. On the first day of the festival, this Thursday, January 23, 15 titles will be premiered. “This year’s films will generate conversations”said Hernández, underscoring the festival’s role in bringing audiences together to experience transformative narratives. Hernández also commented that the festival has not yet decided whether it will move to another city starting in 2027. The organization is exploring the possibility of changing locations, with Boulder, Colorado and Cincinnati, Ohio in the running alongside Park City itself. Hernández assured that the decision will be announced at the end of this winter. Emerging talents at Sundance 2025 Kim Yutani highlighted the notable talent featured in this year’s selection, singling out filmmakers whose creativity and vision promise to leave a lasting impact. He encouraged attendees to pay attention to rising stars such as James Sweeney (“Twinless”), Katarina Zhu (“Bunnylovr”), Eva Victor (“Sorry, Baby”), Pasqual Gutierrez (“Serious People”) and Grace Glowicki (“ “Dead Lover”). “These are incredibly talented people. We want them to know their names now and to keep track of them,” Yutani said. global stories John Nein highlighted the festival’s international offering, which reflects Sundance’s legacy of discovery and visibility. Films like Emily Blischfeldt’s “twisted reinterpretation of Cinderella” and Nadia Fall’s “Brides” demonstrate the festival’s commitment to amplifying diverse voices from around the world. Nein also presented powerful documentaries that address global issues, including “How to Build a Library,” “Mr. Nobody Against Putin” and “Cutting Through Rocks.” He mentioned the return of established filmmakers such as Vladimir de Fontenay (“Sukkwan Island”) and Oscar winner Mstyslav Chernov (“2000 Meters to Andrivka”), whose works add depth to this year’s program.

Trump 2.0: Starts his reign of terror and chaos

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

The inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47th president of the United States was like waiting for a Category 5 hurricane, and I say this knowingly because I have experienced several cyclones. That anxiety and certainty of knowing that the devastation will be immense, especially for immigrants and their citizen and permanent resident family members. But also for the country’s economy, for our moral fiber and for our democracy. Trump wasted no time in activating his reign of terror among immigrants and like a good would-be autocrat, he wants to govern by decree and abuses his powers. For example, he declared a “national emergency” on the border with Mexico to deploy the military to stop the “invasion” of undocumented immigrants despite the sustained reduction in arrests on the strip in recent months. He also began the process to deny birthright citizenship to babies born in the United States to undocumented parents. More than twenty states, cities, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sued to prevent the implementation of the order, calling it unconstitutional. Among the immigration executive orders are the reestablishment of the ‘Remain in Mexico’ program that requires asylum seekers to remain in the neighboring country while they wait for their appointment before the immigration courts in the United States. He took other steps to undermine the asylum system: He suspended refugee resettlement for at least four months. And it eliminated the CBP One application that allowed asylum seekers to request their appointments virtually to avoid chaos at the border. The application was instrumental in reducing border crossings under the outgoing administration of Democrat Joe Biden. ‘Stay in Mexico’ worsened the crisis in the strip as thousands of migrants, from individuals to entire families, slept outdoors in inhumane conditions due to the lack of shelters. Many were victims of crimes as they were at the mercy of drug trafficking cartels. Trump will also end the practice of ‘catch and release’, which allows immigrants to be released into the United States while they await their hearings in immigration court. As part of his plan to eliminate birthright citizenship, he places obstacles, such as requiring the relevant agencies not to issue passports or Social Security cards unless one of the minor’s parents is a citizen or permanent resident. Trump knows that he cannot eliminate the 14th Amendment with a stroke of the pen, that it requires a constitutional amendment and that his plan will be challenged in court, but he wants to show the MAGA movement that he is “keeping” his campaign promises. He also invoked the Alien Enemies Act, to designate cartels and certain gangs as terrorist organizations. The 1798 law, which has only been applied three times and in times of war, allows the detention, relocation or deportation of nationals of the enemy country of the United States for reasons of national security. Regarding deportations, Trump declared that “all illegal entry will immediately stop, and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens to the places from which they came.” As of this writing, there have been no confirmed raids under Trump. But it rescinded a memo prohibiting such operations in “sensitive” places such as churches, schools, courts and shelters. Trump eliminated humanitarian parole for migrants from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti. The executive orders reflect the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, which provided Trump and his team with a roadmap for a highly extremist agenda, not only on immigration but in energy, education, labor rights, civil rights, and other areas. . What is fearful is not only that Republicans control the executive and legislative branches, and have the balance tilted in their favor in the judicial branch. They also had the first Trump administration as a rehearsal and this time these measures are written to try to survive appeals in court. Immigration extremism is the tip of the iceberg in this government since an outgoing president, Biden, issued preventive pardons to his relatives and public officials out of fear that they could be persecuted and accused of “something” because Trump considers them his political enemies. Ironically, while Trump calls immigrants “criminals,” he pardons 1,500 of those convicted or prosecuted for the violent attack on the federal Capitol on January 6, 2021. Like a major Category 5 hurricane, Trump and his extremist policies promise severe damage that will test our resilience, our humanity, our Constitution, and the neutrality of our judicial system.
