The new economy values the story more than the numbers

September 17, 2025 by usatoday24

The risk capital always has something perverse in its arithmetic. Nothing has closed a 200 million dollar round that triggers its valuation up to 1.3 billion. Its total sales since 2020 are barely 1,000 million, so Tiger Global, who leads the round, is paying in tomorrow what the company has not yet billed throughout its history. More than investment seems theology. Because Carl Pei does not sell phones but the promise of being the anti-establishment. That transparent design, with LED guts flashing like a mechanical heart, is marketing that disguises itself as a message and cause. Each nothing sold is someone saying “I am not like you, user of iPhone”, “I am not like you, who has an android without personality.” It is a rebellion against technological conformism, despite the fact that the mobile leaves the same Chinese factories financed with the same risk capital. But it works because Investors do not buy market share (Nothing does not reach 1% world), but narrative. Same reason why a telephone more sanitized that is never worth half than before: he Storytelling Milagros work. And Nothing’s is that perhaps the technological David can, someday, stagger Goliath. Carl Pei’s genius is, rather than in his narrative, in his Timing narrative: Launches the company just when OnePlus, its previous creationit was becoming predictable and one more. Promises be Ai first When the rest promise the same. Talk about smart glasses, humanoid robots and electric cars before demonstrating a profitable smart watch. He is the perfect entrepreneur for the era of the business fomo: credible enough not to look like a charlatan, ambiguous enough For each investor to project their own fantasies “X100”. In addition, the cast of investors says everything. Tiger Global leads, but there are all the usual suspects: Is patient capital disguised as Intelligent capital. They know that nothing probably never justifies that assessment with a balance in hand, but in the casino of the SeeNTURE CAPITAL You just need a file to fall into the correct number. The interesting thing is that PEI has built something real. Its products are at least competent. Some even good. Not everyone can say the same. He has created a brand that has fitted in that group with Apple-Samsung duopoly, to whom the Pixel leaves them cold and felt as a stab the rise in xiaomi prices. Careful, History is repeated. PEI has shown that a hardware company can be built from London: there is life beyond Silicon Valley, Suwon and Shenzen. The problem is not nothing, it is a system in which the history that you tell about your company is worth more than the company. Where “disruptive potential” is a blank check and where numbers are only for accountants. The lesson here is to understand that In the economy of attention, memorable design and narrative COhere they are worth more than the market share. Nothing has converted statistical inconsequence into cultural relevance. And that, in 2025, is quoted at 1,300 kilos.

There are American and Europeans fed up with the lack of “traditional values” of the West. So they are moving to Russia

September 13, 2025 by usatoday24

Surprising data were known last May: more and more Americans sought to leave the country to Live in Europe. The problem: that the old continent seemed to be closing its doors with migratory policies stricter. What very few anticipated is a new migratory current: that of Westerners who, seeking to recover the “traditional values” that have been lost … and end in Russia. The attraction for the Russia of War. I told it last week The Financial Times. In full invasion of Ukraine and under an increasingly repressive regime, a group of Westerners has chosen to move to Russia in search of what they perceive as “traditional values” in front of a west who consider decadent. Among the most notorious cases is Derek Huffman’san Arizona welder and father of six children, who emigrated with his wife and children alleging rejection of “LGBT indoctrination”, immigration and insecurity in the United States. To accelerate the obtaining of Russian citizenship, he decided to enroll in the Army and fight in Ukrainedefending Even on YouTube that he did to gain respect and a future in his new country. His extreme case has received criticism and also media attentionbecoming a symbol of a reduced but very publicized phenomenon. The “visa of shared values”. Moscow launched in 2024 A special visa For disenchanted western, which facilitates permanent residence to about 150 people per month, a measure that reminds of Soviet propaganda that opposed a corrupt West to a supposedly moral Russia. Although in numbers they are just A few hundredtheir stories receive great diffusion in YouTube channels with Professional productionseveral of them linked to Russia Today According to researchwhich suggests a state effort to amplify the narrative of Russia as a refuge for the conservatives of the West. Examples and integration networks. There are many more cases in addition to the Huffman, such as The one of the Feenstraa Canadian family with eight children who settled on a farm in Nizhni Nóvgorod and reached almost 200,000 subscribers On YouTube, or Stephen Shoresan American computer scientist turned to orthodoxy who claims to feel freer in Russia against the “culture of cancellation”, although he lives under the threat of Ukrainian drones. At the institutional level, figures such as Maria Butina (former Russian agent deported in the United States) and businessmen such as The German Jakob Pinneker They help these immigrants to integrate, facilitating their installation and extolling the “family order and values.” Contradictions and realities. While the Kremlin exhibits these cases as proof of its appeal, the reality is that tens of thousands of Russians They have fled since 2022 to avoid mobilization, political repression and international isolation. In the country itself, thousands of people fulfill condemns for protesting against war or publicly disagree with the regime. The paradox It is evident: Those who come from the West Echoes of the Cold War. What we see today has clear historical parallels with the Soviet strategy during the Cold War. At that time, the USSR I tried to attract to intellectuals, artists and western militants who felt marginalized or frustrated with the capitalism and politics of their countries. Many communists and supporters They traveled to Moscow convinced That there they would find equality and social justice, some even acquired Soviet citizenship or were used in propaganda campaigns that showed the “exploitative west” against “socialist paradise.” The most emblematic case was that of The deserters North Americans who, after the Korean or Vietnam War, sought refuge in the USSR or allies like Cuba and North Korea, converted in trophies ideological. Strategic background. The flow of Westerners to Russia is minimal in figures, but useful in the propaganda plane. Under the official narrative, it reinforces the idea that Russia is not isolated and that even citizens of the Western enemy seek refuge under their flag for reasons of values and morals. In the geopolitical plane, it points to an attempt to counteract the story of a country in crisis and project the image of cultural strength against a fragmented West. Of course, social also reveals the existence of disenchanted minorities In Europe and the United States that, not finding lace in their societies, becomes something very similar to useful pieces for Moscow’s speech.

How to use artificial intelligence to know the calories and nutritional values of what you eat

July 24, 2025 by usatoday24

Life is not made to count calories, but if you want to have greater control of what you eat the artificial intelligence It can help you. For that, let’s tell you How to look at the calories other data of what you eat Using artificial intelligence, so that you can have more information and consciousness. We are going to start with a series of prior tips to be able to do this, so that you can also understand The limitations of AI To count calories. Then we will tell you two ways to proceed, using conventional artificial intelligence chatbots or specific applications. Before starting, some notes Both the generals and the specialists in the task of giving you the nutritional value of an element will use the photo of what you have sent, they will recognize the food or the dish that appears, and will make an estimate of their calories or the information you ask. Here, you should know that The information will not be accurate when you teach something cookedsomething that is not a commercial product. In these cases it will recognize what it is, and will tell you an estimate of its nutritional data and calories based on the ingredients that it usually has or in which he recognizes inside the photo. But there may always be variations, and cannot calculate how much of each thing you have thrown, that is, it is not something precise. The simpler the dish you teach more precision. For example, it is not the same to teach you a paella as a loin and cheese snack, because in the second case the approximate ingredients and proportions of each are clearer, so they will adjust the level more. A trained for this will always have more precision than the generals. Therefore, it may be interesting to lower an app created for this function or Use accessories for general AIsuch as Chatgpt GPT or the Gemini Gemstrained versions for concrete functions of these AI. Accuracy will improve a lot When asked about commercial productsby a product with supermarket with brand and label that the AI can recognize, and from which it can extract the official nutritional information of the Internet. Finally, In all cases you can ask about specific ingredients At an informative level, or to know if it contains something that may affect some disease or intolerance you have. You will only have to ask him next to the photo or after asking him the first question about that product. Food information with generative We are going to start telling you how you can look at the calories and information of what you eat using a generative AI such as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini or similar ones. Using these apps that have already entered our day to day, you will save and register in others, but The information will be less accurate And there may be more mistakes, since they have not been specifically trained for this. We will use chatgpt in the example, but you can use another. All you have to do is Send a photo of the food asking you to tell you the calories and nutritional information in a Prompt. Something like “Tell me how many calories this also has its nutritional value”. You can also ask for other data that you consider. If you do it with a handmade food, The AI will identify what the typical ingredients will be and consider that the recipe usually has. And when you do, you will tell you the information of this dish that you have taught. Of course, it will not be the information of what you have taught exactly, but of a portion of what this dish usually has. It will also notify you of the factors that may vary. When asked about simpler things, like a snack where all ingredients are clearly seen, then precision will increase. You can even ask for several things at once that appear in a photo, and will give you a nutritional value of the complete ration. Of course, then you can reject you to tell you that of one of the concrete elements. When they are products Packaged, out -of -processed and/or with a visible brandthen the AI is easier to identify what is exactly, and search the Internet what are the ingredients and the complete nutritional value of that. And as we have told you, you can also search GPTS of ChatgPT or Gemini Gems specialized in detecting food composition and value in order to have more reliable information. Use nutritional apps with AI There are nutritional applications that use artificial intelligence, such as Healthify, Snapcalorie or the Chilean Otter. These applications seek to help you make weekly planning or diet, analyzing and adding the calories of what you eat throughout the day. Its operation is simple, and first you have to configure your data as age, sex, height and weight, and say what your goals are. Depending on your goals, you will make a plan of the calories that you must eat during the day, and for each meal you will upload photos of what you eat. When you do, the calories of what you have ever eating will be added And it helps you visualize what you eat more. In each of the meals, you can add what you eat drawing a photo or adding one that you have In your gallery. Some apps will ask you to describe what it is to have a better idea. Then, the internal AI of these apps will analyze what it is and will tell you how many calories it has, adding it to what you have eaten that day.

The collapse of shelter values such as the US dollar and debt

April 9, 2025 by usatoday24

The American treasure bonds, considered for decades the safest asset in the world, are suffering The biggest mass sale since 2001when Puntocomwith yields that exceed 4.5% in the ten -year bonus and touch 5% in thirty years. This shake is not a simple technical adjustment. This directly questions the dollar and the US debt as a safe refuge in moments of global economic uncertainty, precisely when Trump’s commercial war with China and other countries reaches historical levels with the tariffs of Up to 104%. Why is it important. The collapse of the American bond market also has implications for Europe and Spain. If investors lose confidence in the dollar and American bonds, two contradictory scenarios are possible: European risk premiums could shoot themselves by infection, making financing for governments and Spanish companies. Or paradoxically, Europe could benefit if investors look for alternatives to the dollar, lowering our debt. The current situation. What began as a technical problem in the bond market has become a crisis of trust. The coverage funds carried out by arbitration operations with American bonds (known as “Basis Trade“) are being forced to sell in mass, shooting the yields and causing a vicious circle. The ten -year bonus from the United States has gone from a 3.87% yield to early April to More than 4.5% In just a week. The bonus at thirty years has touched 5%levels not seen in more than a decade. The type curve has been invested extremely, with a difference of 30 basic points between two and ten years bonds in just a few hours. Between the lines. This phenomenon is the structural change reflex. After decades as an indisputable world reserve currency, The dollar and the American bonds are being questioned as a result of Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. China, Japan and the United Kingdom, main foreign American debt holders And precisely countries especially affected by tariffs, they can be using their bond reserves as an economic weapon, selling them in retaliation. At stake. The stability of the global financial system now depends on how central banks respond. The Federal Reserve could be forced to make emergency cuts in interest rates or implement programs for buying bonds similar to Those used during the 2008 crisis. If these measures fail, the consequences would be serious: increasing credit for companies and families, destabilization of stock markets (some already vulnerable), and potential global recession just when the economy recovered from Post-pandemic inflation. Meanwhile in Europe. Here the public debt yields have also triggered sympathy. British bonds have reached 5.6% yields – levels not seen since 1998–and the pressure on the Spanish and European debt is inevitable if the situation continues to deteriorate. The European Central Bank and the Bank of England could be forced to advance or intensify its type cuts to contain damage, especially if the European economy begins to show signs of contagion. For Spain, with A public debt exceeding 100% of GDPa sustained increase in financing costs would threaten the government’s budgetary and investment plans. Just when they are most needed to cushion the impact of the commercial war. The money trail. The financial world has taken a historic turn in just one week. If the American treasure bonds cease to be the safe shelter par excellence, we enter an unknown territory for the global economic system. When what seemed impossible happens, panic can become a self -fulfilling prophecy. It does not seem to make sense and ask whether there will be consequences or not, but rather how deep they will be and who will pay the invoice.
