“I feel responsible for my team and my clients”

According to The records of LayoffsMicrosoft has fired more than 6,000 employees in what we had of 2025. One of those employees was Freddy Kristiansen59, fired from the Microsoft subsidiary in Denmark in May 2025 after a 23 -year career in the company as a product manager. However, although officially it is no longer part of the company, Kristiansen Keep going to the office. “It may sound rare to appear in the office after being fired, but I still feel committed to the products, with the people who use them and with my colleagues,” he explains In an interview for Business Insider. A link that goes beyond the contract Its history began in 2002, when it was hired by Navision, a company that shortly after It was acquired by Microsoft. What thought it would be a temporary job finally became a professional career of more than two decades. “I thought: ‘Maybe this can be something in the long term.’ And so,” Kristiansen recalled. Although the Danish law he grants him A period of six months and three months of compensation after the dismissal for being an employee more than nine years old, Kristiansen affirms that his motivation to continue going to the office It is not economical. Microsoft relieved him of all his functions, but due to Danish legislation, Kristiansen is still an employee of Microsoft until November. Instead of using that time to look for a new job (What is designed for what is designed), the product manager continues to attend his office daily. His last great project was Somethinga tool for github. “I feel a responsibility not only to maintain the product, but also to reassure customers to know that they are in good hands,” he told the American environment. “If you need my help, I will answer questions, I will share advice or whatever necessary. There is no reason to stop doing it,” he says. Actually, they have done a favor The employee’s reaction can be surprising for continuing to go to the company Instead of racing in angerbut the truth is that Kristianse’s dismissal came at a time when new personal and professional challenges had already begun. “I thought I could feel annoying, but it really was a relief,” he confesses. While some of his companions were worried about Kristianse’s future, he saw an opportunity to lower the rhythm after two decades at the foot of the cannon. In fact, during The layoffs of 2023the veteran employee presented an anonymous consultation about the possibility of asking for a voluntary dismissal. “I never did,” he clarified. “During the last decade I have worked very hard and I have thrown many hours. But now I am no longer interested in working 60 hours a week. It seemed to me that it was the right time to finally chase my dream long postponed to work in my own terms,” ​​he said. As published in Your personal blogKristiansen focuses on designing his own business plan with the intention of offering consulting services such as CTO, management of projects and motivational talks, while Enjoy more free time And he takes up healthy habits. “From the dismissals, I repeat that there is no evil that for good does not come.” Respect for the fruit of his work Despite the dismissal, Kristiansen continues Share your experience and the decisions that marked his career. “No one forced me to work 20 hours on weekends or strive so much, but I did it because I felt it was the right thing. I did it because I really felt a connection with our partners, our clients and my colleagues. And, honestly, I still feel it,” says the former employee. Its involvement With customers, partners and products it remains so strong that, although its contract ends, respect for everything that it built during its years in Microsoft remains intact. At least until November, when you will have to deliver your corporate laptop and credential.

Ibai is going to launch its own football team to start from the lowest. There is actually a very thoughtful strategy

Ibai Llanos is, without a doubt, The most ambitious Spanish streamer. Restless and little given to be in a single type of content, it is stretching the limits of what can be expected from a creator on the Internet to use, to the point that its new project is out of the merely virtual environment: it has announced that it will finance a football team that will start in the most modest categories with the intention of ascending what you can. From the fourth division. Nothing less than in the fourth Catalan division will start the team, as the streamer From your Tiktok account. “We are going to start in the lowest category in Spain and we will try to ascend over the years, as far as we arrive,” he says (although it is not exactly the lowest possible category). The digital confidential revealswith information arrived from the environment of Ibai, which there is already a field in which to train, whose location will be revealed soon. Aspects such as the name and other issues will be chosen collaboratively. Starting. At the moment, there are no players: they need 20 and a coaching staff, and the search has already begun. He has opened the call for players in his networks, and we sympathize with whom he has to manage the avalanche of children’s videos giving touches. The choice of the fourth Catalan division is not accidental, of course: Ibai resides in Catalonia and that regional category allows you to enter the federated football system. This team still without a name is, therefore, Ibai’s next step within soccer management, after Your football team 7Porcinos fc, will achieve win the world championship of the Kings League devised by Piqué. Buy the Murcia. It is not the first time that Ibai enters the field of soccer management. In 2021 he expressed his desire to Buy Real Murciaproclaiming his desire that “a humble team is respected the shield.” The mention of Murcia is not accidental: although the team is not at its best (especially considering that it was in 1st division, it is now in the first federation, the third level of Spanish football divisions), it has a great stadium, much follow -up in the city and a long history of famous interested in it: Auronplay and Djmariio They were shareholders And they also The presenters of modern life. Investor problems … Football club management for large business or famous groups has generated abundant controversies in recent years. For example, Valencia is plunged into A serious crisis Under the property of Peter Lim, Singapore businessman, who has been accused of bad financial management, lack of investment, sale of key players and disconnection with the local fans. Granada CF has suffered similar problems, managed by Chinese investors and subsequently sold to other funds. In this context, he has suffered management problems and has accused the lack of a stable sports project, with frequent changes of coaches and directive. … and the celebrities. Valladolid suffered a similar image and results crisis that has lasted until very recently: Ronaldo Nazário acquired 51% of the club in 2018 promising to take it to the elite. A roller coaster of promotions and descents led to the disgust of the fans. After a disastrous season, Ronaldo has sold its participation majority to an American investment group. This case is perhaps the clearest of a media personality with a past linked to football that took the controls of a club with disastrous results, and that possibly Ibai is very present. THE INTER CASE. There is another case, very recent, and that concerns other personalities of the sphere of the streaming: The Madrid International Football Club, founded in 2002, amounted from the Madrid regional until reaching Second Division B. in 2020 He merged with the eSports Dux Gaming teambecoming called Dix International of Madrid. Behind the pioneer union, which linked traditional football and eSports under the same seal, were the players Thibaut Courtois and Borja Iglesias, and the Djmariio youtuber. However, economic and administrative conflicts with the Royal Spanish Football Federation in 2022 led Dux Gaming It will separate from the project. The result was that, since then, any approach to traditional football from the orbit of the Streamers It is seen with suspicion. An important challenge. Ibai is accustomed to assuming large -scale challenges, and to get out of Niche appearance projects like the evening. Therefore, your first decision, not to buy an existing team to save time and resources, but to found it from zero and start from below, has a clear strategy. Now it only remains to see if the innumerable decisions that have ahead takes them with the same common sense.

You will have your own UVE lithography team to make chips in 2025

We did not expect this. Neither we nor a good part of SEMICONDUCTOR EXPERTS that have been wet both and within China. And there are solid clues that argue that Huawei is already testing at its Dongguan facilities, in the province of Canton, the first team of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE) Designed and manufactured entirely in China. The filtered photography that we publish a little lower in this article corroborates it. The leaks They assure That unlike the UVE machines produced by the Dutch company ASML, this Chinese lithography equipment uses an LDP ultraviolet light source (laser induced discharge), and not LPP class (plasma generated by laser). Presumably the development of this source of ultraviolet radiation emission is the milestone that has allowed Chinese engineers to develop a machine that Many experts did not see possible before five years in the best case. At the moment the most prudent is that we take this information with caution, but it seems solid enough to echo it. An interesting note is that on paper the LDP source is able to generate UVE light with a wavelength of 13.5 nm, so this Chinese prototype should be able to compete from you to you with ASML UVE photolithography machines. In addition, the leaks argue that China will begin the production of more test machines during the third quarter of this year with the purpose of launching the large -scale manufacture of these equipment during 2026. Why are the UVE photolithography teams so important to China The sanctions of USA and its allies They prevent ASML from giving their Chinese clients their most sophisticated integrated circuit manufacturing equipment. Its UVE machines belong to this category. The Chinese companies Huawei and SMIC have managed to produce 7 Nm chips using the deep ultraviolet lithography machines (UVP) of ASML that they have in their possession, but to make it possible they have had to resort to a technique known as Multiple patterning. The ‘multiple patterning’ perceptibly expensive chips and lies the production capacity This technique in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. It works, but it has two big problems: it perceptibly expensive the chips and Merms production capacity. In addition, presumably will not allow to go beyond 5 Nm. Chinese manufacturers of integrated circuits have turned with mature chips production To sustain your business, but this strategy will not allow China to compete on equal terms with the US and its allies. An important note: mature semiconductors usually occur in nodes of 28 nm or less advanced, and are used in appliances, cars and electronic consumption devices. China needs to produce 3 NM chips or with even more advanced integration technologies to acquire the ability to develop semiconductors comparable to the most sophisticated that are currently manufacturing TSMC, Intel, Samsung or SK Hynix. The competitiveness of Huawei, SMIC and other companies is at stake. If this information is finally confirmed and China has its Commercial UVE machines in 2026, it will have taken a crucial step in its pulse with the US. Even so, Asml will continue to have The best lithography teams: The machines Haute Opening UVE that Intel is already testing, and that with all probability will soon verify TSMC and Samsung.

The most precise map of the Earth has been created by a team of physicists. And it has little to do with what we are used to

One of the great challenges of cartographers trying to create world maps is the impossibility of recreating the surface of a sphere in a plane. At least faithful, precise and legible. The map on disk. He last attempt For creating a map that minimizes the distortions associated with the representation of the surface of the sphere in a plane has given a curious result: a plane whose authors compare it with a vinyl disk. The reason is that on this map our planet is represented as two circles, one showing the northern hemisphere and another the south. The map has imperfections, but its authors consider that it is the most faithful projection to date. “You can’t do everything perfect,” pointed in a press release Richard Gott, one of the authors, “a map is as good in a thing as it may not be to represent other things.” A problem of (more than) half an millennium. Humanity has known for thousands of years that Earth is spherical, but this rarely was a problem for two reasons. The first is that the cards only included the Eurasia and Africa region, the Americas, Oceania or Antarctica did not enter the maps until To this we must add that the maps were not so precise that the distortions of This problem They will charge relevance. Many times they didn’t have to be: it was not until the modern era that cartographic precision began to be vital, especially for those who threw themselves into the sea. From Mercator to Winkel Tripel. Mercator’s projection is a of the oldest And even today is one of the most used. This projection was created in the 16th century by Gerardus Mercator with the intention of facilitating transoceanic navigation. While this map maintains precision in the shapes of the elements such as seas or countries, The sizes are significantly distortedmaking areas close to the poles more with respect to those located in Ecuador. A lot of history. Centuries of work have led less distorting maps. Among them, the authors of this new plane include the Winkel-Tripl, a projection created by German cartographer Oswald Winkel in 1921. This map is not so helpful for navigators and still has distortions around the poles, but represents a commitment . It is also the representation used by the National Geographic Society. “Disco” version, showing here on the obverse and the reverse on the same plane. Gott et al. Scoring the maps. If the plane is not perfect, why do your authors think it is close? In 2007 David Goldberg and Gott itself created a maps score system based on six criteria: local forms, areas, distances, flexion, asymmetry, and cuts. The punctuation system is inverse: a spherical mapamundi would have a score of 0.0, and from there, any added distortion would add greater score. The punctuation system was introduced into An article In the magazine Cartography: The International Journal for Geographic Information and Geovisualization. Being work of the same team does not result from this letter to be able to minimize the score. If the Winkel-Tripl had a score of 4,563, the new map Reduces error to 4,497 points. The “trick.” The new projection presumes to achieve better scores than its alternatives in the six variables stipulated by Gott and its team, however there is one in which it emphasizes particularly thanks to a trick, that of continuity. If we take any map we will see that there is a cut, usually located in the Pacific Ocean, between Asia and Oceania, and the Americas. This is a great source of distortison according to Gott’s criteria and his team. Your solution: a disc with two faces. The Gott map is raised to present itself in the form of an disk, which gives continuity to the “cut” we see in Ecuador (and that, that, The authors explain The map could also be placed along the zero meridian). From Earth to the confines of the cosmos. The authors of the new map took advantage of their new projection to Cartogarafiar Other other elementsfrom the planets of the Solar System to the celestial vault, including a story map Microwave cosmic background.

Terence Crawford’s team rules out rehydration clause against Canelo

Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, trainer of undisputed 147-pound champion Terence Crawford, He assured that they do not plan to request the rehydration clause in case of reaching an agreement to fight against the three-division super middleweight champion (168 pounds) Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez. These statements were made during an interview offered for The Ring, where the trainer assured that he is not worried about Crawford gaining up to 154 pounds to be able to face the man from Guadalajara after his team announced that the fight is practically a fact and will take place. on September 13 as part of the celebration of the Independence of Mexico. “We don’t give a damn about that. You can only go up to a certain point, and if you go over that’s your problem.” expressed Terence’s coach in his statements. “The first thing that came out of his mouth was that he wants the fight. If Terence doesn’t have a problem with that, neither do I.” BoMac added regarding the possibility of having a rehydration clause for this fight that would mark the American’s formal retirement from the ring. Finally, Brian McIntyre made a strong criticism against this rehydration clause and against all the boxers who usually use it by claiming that they face fighters much bigger and stronger than them; He maintained that it is an excuse to take a break and thus not end up being surpassed. “That’s bullshit, it’s weak. When they say you can’t gain more than that much weight. No, man, fuck that. This is boxing. I have the skills, you step on the scale, you weigh in, and it doesn’t matter how much I come back later. You accepted the fight, so let’s enter the ring and fight like men, it’s that simple,” the coach stated.

Terence Crawford’s team confirms the fight against Canelo Álvarez

The team of the American boxer and 147-pound champion, Terence Crawford assured that they have already reached an agreement to be able to face the Mexican three-division champion in the super middleweights, Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez; According to what was announced by the members of the team, said fight will take place on September 13. The information was announced by trainer Bernie The Boxer during a statement given to FightHype, where he assured that the fight is already a reality and both boxers will fulfill the dream of all world boxing lovers by seeing each other in the ring. “It’s done. I look forward to September 13th. Crawford vs. Canelo. As I said, Crawford vs Canelo is confirmed. Crawford vs. “Canelo, not the other way around,” expressed The Boxer in his statements. “The Crawford team remains strong. The pound for pound, the best in the world. “He will soon be the world super middleweight champion,” added the coach of the American who will fight just on the Mexican Independence weekend, a fairly common date for the Aztec fighter to fight. Bernie also maintained that Terence Crawford will climb to 154 pounds to be able to fight Canelo, who will remain at 168 pounds, stating that this will undoubtedly be the biggest challenge he has faced in his career when facing a rival with such an advantage. about him. “We face tough rivals and we beat them. So now he is Canelo Álvarez, a hard puncher, with an IQ of the same caliber and a legend. Those were the only challenges Crawford was looking for, and it was the right thing to do. “We deserved this challenge of being on the big stage in a mega fight, in a super fight, in what we call a David versus Goliath battle,” he said. “Again we have many disadvantages in this fight in terms of weight, in terms of power, but there are many things in common in terms of achievements and skill set. We will climb that mountain,” the coach concluded. Keep reading: –––

Henry Martín applauds the work of Santiago Giménez in the national team

The star striker of the Águilas of Club América, Henry Martín has established himself as one of the great figures of the Mexican team in recent years. not only for his great role in the Nations League, but also for being the only one to score a goal for El Tri in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Despite all this, the player is in the fight to get a place among those called up for the Mexican team that will be under the command of Javier ‘Vasco’ Aguirre for the 2026 World Cup that will be held jointly between the United States. , Mexico and Canada. The striker believes that he still has a lot to offer the team, although he recognizes that there are other great figures who are active abroad and have become the future of a team that seeks to once again position itself among the best on the planet and achieve historic milestones in tournaments. of FIFA. In statements offered to Mediotiempo, Henry Martín maintained that one of these figures is Santiago Giménez, who will become the face of the Mexican team for the future due to the great quality he has shown on the field of play. “It really makes me very happy and I say it from my heart, the moment they are living. Raúl, we know what happened, what he suffered and it makes me very happy because he experienced something similar to what I experienced; He spoke about the sporting moment, where he had a bad time, where he was suffering, for him to re-emerge in that way we must applaud him for his character, the mental strength that you have to have to get out of a slump, that is very strong,” he expressed. “And with Santi I am very happy with his age, what he is achieving, the great goals he is scoring. We know that it is the future of Mexico. We have to take care of him, we have to protect him, because he has many more years to give to the National Team. And he will be in one, two or even three more World Cups if everything goes well, that’s how it will be. “He is the future of the National Team,” he added. Talk about the present Henry Martín also spoke about the current situation that El Tri is experiencing since the arrival of Javier Aguirre and Rafael Márquez, highlighting that there is strong competition and that causes each of the athletes to show their best level. “The present he is experiencing makes the rest of us improve, it gives Raúl strong competition; Raúl also gives him strong competition and right now me; So I have to do my thing too. Because it is not the decision of any of the three who is going to play, nor who is going to go to the World Cup, but we have to make the decision difficult on the field,” the player concluded.

More than 50,000 people under evacuation orders or notice for fire north of Los Angeles

CASTAIC, California, USA — Nearly 20,000 people were ordered to evacuate Wednesday as a massive wildfire moved rapidly and tore through the rugged mountains north of Los Angeles, while arid Southern California endured another round of dangerous winds and two other large fires continued to burn. The Hughes Fire broke out in the morning and within hours burned about 8 square miles (21 square kilometers) of trees and brush, generating a huge plume of dark smoke near the Castaic Lake area, a popular recreation area located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires that are still burning after three weeks. A 30-mile (48-kilometer) stretch of Interstate 5, a major north-south thoroughfare, was closed as flames swept across hills and into steep canyons. Crews on the ground and in air tankers tried to prevent the wind-driven fire from crossing the highway and heading toward Castaic, where most of the 19,000 residents were ordered to evacuate. Another 15,000 residents in the area were warned to be prepared to leave at any time, according to the Los Angeles County Police Department. Kayla Amara drove to the Stonegate neighborhood in Castaic to pick up items from the house of a friend who had left in a hurry to pick up her daughter from preschool. While Amara was packing up the car, she learned that the fire had grown in size and decided to douse the property with water. “Other people are also spraying their houses with water. I hope there is a house to return to,” Amara said as police patrols passed through the streets and flames engulfed trees on a hill in the distance. Amara, a nurse who lives in nearby Valencia, said she has been nervous for weeks as large fires devastated Southern California. “It’s been stressful with those other fires, but now that this one is close to home it’s just super stressful,” he said. To the south of the state, officials in Los Angeles began preparing for possible rain even as some residents were cleared to return to the charred areas of Pacific Palisades and Altadena. The windy weather was forecast to continue through Thursday and there was a chance of rain starting Saturday, according to the National Weather Service. “Rain is forecast and the threat of mud and debris flows in our fire-impacted communities is real,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said during a news conference Wednesday morning. Fire crews filled sandbags for communities while county workers installed barriers and cleaned drainage pipes and basins. Red flag alerts for critical fire risk were extended until 8 p.m. Thursday in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Authorities remained concerned that the two large fires, the Palisades and Eaton fires, could break their containment lines as firefighters continue to monitor critical locations. For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass warned that the winds could blow ash and advised Angelenos to visit the city’s website to learn how to protect themselves from toxic air during the new Santa Ana wind event. Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer warned that the ash could contain heavy metals, arsenic and other harmful materials. “Even brief exposure can cause skin irritation and lead to more serious problems,” Ferrer said Wednesday, asking people to wear protective gear while cleaning. Low humidity, extremely dry vegetation and high winds occurred as firefighters continued to battle the Eaton and Palisades fires, which have killed at least 28 people and destroyed more than 14,000 structures since they began on January 7. Containment of the Palisades Fire was 68%, and that of the Eaton Fire was 91%. Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna said Wednesday that his department continues to investigate 22 active missing person reports in both fire zones. All of the people reported missing are adults, he added. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating the causes of the fires but has not released any findings. Several people who lost their homes in the Eaton fire have filed lawsuits, alleging that utility company Southern California Edison’s equipment started the fire. A judge overseeing one of the lawsuits on Tuesday ordered the company to produce data from circuits in the area where the fire started.
