Manufacturers have drunk attendee cars for our safety. We do not use them and (worse) we don’t understand them either

“We know that many people deactivate the lane maintenance assistant. Why should we sell it?” With these words, Denis Le Vot, CEO of Dacia, attacked the European Union and his commitment to adas systems for driving in 2022. What defended the head of the company is that most users They deactivate these aid Security and that, therefore, I did not understand why manufacturers were forced to include them in their cars. Years later, it seems that time is giving the reason to vote. They are neither appreciated nor used Since 2022, All cars approved in Europe They are obliged to set up a series of ADAS aids to driving, including emergency braking, lane output alert or controversial speeding warning that works hand in hand with signal recognition. These aid are, since 2024, mandatory series in every new car sold in Europe. That is, regardless of when any new car that has been bought or is about to be bought has been approved for a year. This, without a doubt, is one of the reasons that cars have increased. Therefore, we must understand that the CEO of Dacia had reasons to attack the European Union. For a brand that has always fought for price, including more starting equipment makes it difficult to. It is, of course, part interested in the debate. However, the data seems to give the vote right. At least that is what those who take the temperature of the conductors say. In JD Power they assured A few months ago that one in four buyers From a car in the United States he had reported a problem with ADAS systems in the first 90 days after buying the car. These problems do not refer exclusively to faults or system failures, they also refer to the inconveniences that users have found because they do not understand the systems or are not very clear how they can deactivate or configure them. Frictions have also increased, according to the study. In the last five years, the technology of the manufacturers in this area has been fired (much guilt has the security regulations), which has made more and more people who choose to deactivate these alerts. “They are too annoying and intrusive,” They point out from JDPOWER. The solution, they say, should go through more detailed explanations by the dealers to explain how these systems work and how they can take advantage of. In part, what happens in Europe is moving to other regions of the world. In the United Kingdom, the ADAS systems that are in the European Union are not mandatory but companies include them by cost savings. However, the data says that Most of them deactivate aid and that the ISA speeding system is the most affected. In a 2020 survey conducted by Erie Insuranceit was stressed that the second help system that was most deactivated after the alert for speed was the maintenance of lane. However, The European Commission points that between the lane output notice can reduce accidents between 10 and 21% and that lane maintenance can reduce the severity of the wounds suffered in an accident by up to 30% of the cases. There is, therefore, a disconnection between regulators and users. Keep in mind that not only the European Union demands these security measures. Euro NCAP, in their studies, punishes the companies that do not offer passive security systems that expand mandatory serial coverage. Euro NCAP is an independent study and cars that are homologated and sold in Europe They are not obliged to undergo their evidence. However, they have achieved quality status for the public that is rare who does not appear to them. This costs Dacia to receive a score of only three stars even though they are regular. It is not the shock tests that they have their safety levels in case of accidentthey penalize very basic adas systems equipment that is barely Leave Dacia Duster in an approved justito. And what happens in Spain? That we feel the same as Americans and British, according to A study of Fesvial entitled “Knowledge of the ADAS systems by the Spanish population” that was published in 2022. It indicated that “70% are not clear that the ADAS are intelligent enough to guarantee the safety of the person who conducts” and “30% are not convinced that the ADAS contribute to reduce collisions or their severity.” Data that exemplify the aforementioned gap between regulators and users.

The last two days of the bag have been worse than 99.6% of every day since 1929. It is as chungo as it sounds

by

There was omens that placed today as another “black Monday.” The original occurred on October 28, 1929 and was one of the days More devastating In the history of Wall Street when the Dow Jones index collapsed 12.8% in a single day, losing billions of dollars in market value. The consequences then lasted decades. In the end it will not be so much, But “almost”. In fact, the last days will be recorded as one of the worst of the history of financial markets. An unprecedented collapse. In a surprising turn for Wall Street, the recent wave of tariffs promoted by President Donald Trump has triggered one of the most severe stock market collapses in recent history, making more than thunder from 5 billion dollars in share value in just two days and dragging Global markets. Nasdaq 100 entered GUBBER TERRITORYthe Commodities They collapsed and investors in corporate bonds ran to buy Insurance against defaults. The magnitude of the impact, fueled by rates up to 50% imposed on dozens of countries, even exceeded the worst forecasts, and marked the breakdown for a financial ecosystem that for decades was one of the main beneficiaries of presidential power in the United States. Trump, strategic chaos and indifference. Bloomberg had that, far from showing concern, Trump seems to be hugged the turbulence Stock as a necessary price to correct the imbalances of global trade. In private and public, he insists on standing firm, and has begun to focus his attention on assets such as 10 -year Treasury bonds and oil pricescelebrating their falls without recognizing that they could precess a recession. The markets and the breakdown. After weeks of speculation about whether the tariff threats were not real, investors finally accepted the Scenario severity. More than twenty previous ads had been nothing, but the 11% collapse In two days he forced Wall Street to react. Besent, who allegedly had to moderate Trump, has been harshly criticized for not preventing such a disaster. Although some still expect the president to reconsider if the pain persists (today has said that it will not turn back), the fall of the Asian bags (with collapses up to 7.9%) and the Activated firewall In Japan they reflect that increasingly global destabilization. Some historical data in context: the day was worse than 99.6% of business days since 1929. It was also the worst of all time (more than 24,000 days) and the 35 worse day since 1945 Almost black Monday. As we said, the stock market has continued this morning, and although the worst omen were not fulfilled, the situation is equally disastrous. After confirming Trump that It will not go back In its aggressive commercial policy, defended as “necessary medicine”, the main world indices recorded dramatic collapses: The S&P 500 fell 2.8 % (The worst performance three days for the index since October 1987, or the Eleventh of all timebeing the tenth and twelfth during the great depression), the Nasdaq 3.1 %, and the Hang Kong Hang Sang index sank 13 %, its worst day of the century. In EuropeStoxx 600 lost 5.3 % and the German Dax briefly exceeded 10 % drop in opening. Goldman Sachs raised the probability of recession in the United States at 45 %citing the abrupt hardening of financial conditions after tariffs to many of the key commercial partners. Tariffs imposed by the United States “Victoria” by Trump. Despite the warnings, Trump has celebrated in networks that tariffs “will bring tens of billions to the country” and described the situation as “something beautiful to contemplate.” The Financial Times counted that the fear of a self -inflicted recession grows even between figures related to the president: the investor Bill Ackman warned of an “economic nuclear winter” and Stanley Druckenmiller He criticized any rate above 10 %. On the other sidewalk, the secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, minimized stock tremors such as “short -term reactions” and reaffirmed that the White House You will keep your course. The immediate reality, however, is that systemic collapse of actions, Commodities and coins that threatens to unleash a global recession caused from Washington. Memories of the past. References to Black Monday, 1929 and others collapses Historical have not been long in coming. During that decade, millions of Americans invested in the stock market, many buying actions on credit with margins of just 10%, which amplified panic when prices began to fall. As a direct consequence, between 1929 and 1932, the market lost about 89% of its valueunemployment in the United States exceeded 25%, more than 9,000 banks broke, and the country’s GDP was reduced in almost 30%. That stock market crisis not only plunged the United States into The great depressionbut it had economic and social repercussions worldwide, altering the global economic order throughout the 1930s. Comparisons. We are not in the same box, of course, but The data They are equally worrisome. Let’s think that the last two days of stock market are worse than 99.6% of the days of the stock exchange since 1929. Perhaps, many analysts agree that the current stock market situation caused by the Trump tariff offensive and the intensification of the trade war can be compared, in terms of volatility, loss of investment confidence and systemic risk, with the 2008 global financial crisisalthough with fundamental differences in its causes and nature. As in 2008, markets have experienced abrupt collapses: those More than 5 billion dollars who vanished from the value of US actions In just two daysand the Nasdaq 100 entered the bassist territory, which reflects a collapse of the feeling of similar or very similar to panic lived after the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy. A deliberate crisis. Also, as then, corporate bond markets are showing voltage signals. However, while in 2008 the epicenter was the collapse of the financial system and the mortgage market, the current stock market has a clearly political component: it originates from unilateral commercial policy decisions, which introduce uncertainty about the economic direction of the country.

We have found a “remedy” even worse than coffee enemas: “Mumia”, or crushed mummy

by

What happens when we mix a generalized ignorance of pharmacology and health, with ignorance about foreign languages ​​and cultures? Many things, and few as unpleasant as what happened between the twelfth and seventeenth centuries: the consumption of “Mumia”. During the final stage of the Middle Ages and the first centuries of the Modern Age, doctors in Europe considered this substance as a balm with healing properties of the most diverse, from healing an indigestion to fighting the bubonic plague. The problem is that The “Mumia” It was nothing other than an elaborate preparation From the mummified remains of killed people hundreds or thousands of years ago. That is, crushed mummies. But its consumption could have been due to a simple translation error, as Explain in an article for The conversation Professor of the University of Bristol Michelle Spear. We usually assimilate medieval medicine with the acquaintance Four mood theorybut this was not the only medical doctrine that inspired the medicine of that era. In his article, Spear relates mummy dust to the DOCTRINE OF SIGNATURES. This other theory considered that healing substances kept similarity to what they wanted to cure. It would then be “reasonable” that the mummified remains of a person were seen as a treatment against potentially lethal diseases and also as a remedy against infections or against necrosis and other forms of decay. Another doctrine that, according to this researcher at the University of Bristol, could have served as the basis for the use of corpses in medical practice is that of vitalism. Under the umbrella of this theory, the notion that the “vital force” of one person could simply transfer to another would be found. The use of anomalous substance began to spread in the twelfth century, an era in which Events like the Crusades They would give a new air to relations between the East and West. This was not only saw the spice trade between them, it was in this era that Europe began to Import Ancient Egypt mummies to fill your apothecies of the strange remedy. Long before Orientalism and Egyptology lead Europeans to explore (often loot) the tombs of ancient Egypt, their ancestors would have already taken numerous human remains belonging to that Mediterranean civilization. A misunderstanding? As Spear explains, this “fashion” could have had its beginning in a simple misunderstanding starring the Persian scientist whom we today know how Avicena. In his treaties, this thinker of the eleventh century mentioned a remedy used in his environment to treat injuries such as injuries and fractures. This ointment was a bituminous substance that they referred to as Mūmiyā. By translating Avicena’s texts into Latin, this Mūmiyā It would have transformed into nothing less than trust mummies, so the idea that the bodies hid the secret for the cure of numerous ills and disorders began to spread. To finish the mistake, the substances used in some reservoirs They could also have helped confusion. After all, these substances would not have been very different from the Mūmiyā used by the Persians. The story of the call “Medical cannibalism” It does not end in mummy dustso the notion that everything was a mere translation error may not completely explain this phenomenon. Fat, blood and human skulls have been consumed in different ways as a way of relieving evils of different kinds.

His actions are biting from the beginning of the year and every day they will be worse

When we write these lines, a Tesla action costs $ 222. The figure is already lower than that registered on November 5, 2024, the day on which the United States elections were held. And it is very close to matching the $ 213 that cost an action at the end of October, the lowest figure in the last six months. What has happened? 15%. That is what has been left on the last day in the bag before writing this article. Is the last fall and the confirmation that the company approaches the border of 200 euros in a collapse that does not seem to find soil. With the 222 dollars with which it was closed yesterday it is confirmed that the company has zamped all the growth registered since Donald Trump was confirmed as New President of the United States in the last elections of November 5, 2024. 40 dollars. It is the value per action that Tesla has lost during the last weekend. On Friday, having a small part of the company cost 262 dollars, a figure that was already another 22 dollars lower than that registered that same Monday, March 3 when the cost of it was estimated at $ 284. The Tesla fall on Monday, March 10 was, yes, in tune with the rest of the New York Stock Exchange companies. Alphabet, goal, Apple, Nvidia, Microsoft … The main companies lost money but in no case registered the fall of Tesla on a day when, yes, there was The biggest drop in the bag since 2022. Elon Musk, a value. The performance of the last weeks affects the idea that Tesla’s actions comply with what some define as Cult stock: Actions that base their performance on future promises instead of their current results. It is the explanation to understand how the company has been supported by investors despite giving losses for years and years. That Blind cult to the figure of Elon Musk and its continuous promises on products of all kinds that They have come late (and Not too well) They tried the actions for their proximity to Donald Trump when it was learned that the latter was done with the seat in the oval office. Disproportionate growth. “When the actions They overvalue so much upa fall of the same size is expected. “With these words, Gina Bolvin explained, president of Bolvin Wealth Management Groupto CNN Why the performance of Tesla’s actions in recent weeks is being so bad. Readjustment. On December 17, just a month and a half After the United States electionsTesla shares reached its maximum peak with a value of $ 476. Today they are worth less than half of that price. The collapse has been sustained but except for specific rebounds, has fallen with a crash until touching the barrier of 200 dollars/action. With Musk’s closeness to the White House, it was taken for granted Tesla gained strength. The company’s owner has supported the withdrawal of subsidies to the purchase of electric cars and that, in the short term, should favor a company in clear competitive advantage within the US market. Advances in autonomous driving were also expected and His future Robotaxi. The raw numbers. However, the perspectives of the actions have encountered a wall: reality. Last year was the first in which Tesla failed to overcome sales to the previous year, despite try to avoid it by all possible means. And the first two months have left loud falls in all markets, From China to the United States, going through Europe. We talk about 54% falls in Germany (the largest electric car market in Europe) and 63% in France. In Spain, where stop selling cars has an impact on more pronounced percentage sales falls, 75.50% were left in January. And the problem is not just stop selling vehicles. Its biggest problem is that other companies demonstrate with sales that are not so far from Tesla. Beyond a matter of low sales due to a bad reputation, which Tesla has gone from a market share between electric 29% in Europe to 6% current It is a very bad news for the company. Turn around. Tesla seems to need two shoves. The first, of course, turn your sales numbers. Their numbers should begin to improve little by little. The Tesla Model and its best selling car, has to arrive in Europe with its update and should be a commercial impact that we will still take to see in numbers, since the registrations of the same will begin in March. Update. After months rumoredit is very likely that a good number of buyers have waited for the image soda to take it. It started selling a high price But it is now available in all its versions. It remains to what extent Tesla can trust those postponed sales. Of course, time will also say if Tesla continues to deflate in China. In a country where the electric car is being renewed at a devilish pace, it will be necessary to see if the update of the Tesla Model and is not far behind a country that has seen how in recent days the Xiaomi Su7 ultra swept reservations and Byd already throws drones from their cars. And the Robotaxi. We must also remain very attentive to the future of the autonomous driving of Tesla. The robotaxi is the Great Promise of the Companywhich should allow her to open a business line that will lead her to another financial dimension. The great promise is that it is working and generating performance in 2027. However, the toughest competitors They have burned billions of dollars For years and their results are being very poor. The short time space to put a robotaxi in the market and the performance that until now have had the functions of autonomous driving of Tesla do not incite to be optimistic with which, at least, the announced plans are fulfilled.

They are shadows and destroy them is worse than ignoring them

by

“What are those stains in my eye.” That is a question that more than one has ever asked each other. That kind of worms or dust that we see when we are driving and look at the sky, when we see the TV or, even now, looking at the PC or mobile screen, they are not microbes It does not mean that we can see the string theory. They are ‘shadows’ and have a name: Miodesopsia either Muscae Volators (flying flies). They are not a danger, but many of us want to know how to eliminate them because, beyond playing with them seeing how they bounce, they are annoying. The bad news is that we are going to have to endure. Trash. I recognize that the first thing I thought when I saw them was “I have a bug in the eye.” It was already bad luck because it was not one and, in addition, they were in both eyes. Well, they are not bugs, They are shadows. Within the eye we have a gelatinous substance called vitreous humor that, when you get older, makes formations of remains that our own body produces and stay there floating. These waste accumulations project a shadow in the retina, so it is much easier to see the ‘flies’ when we look at a clear background that reflects the light towards our eye. There are several factors that trigger this such as myopia, the aforementioned aging of vitreous humor, if they have operated, diabetes, a sudden ocular inflammation or their own age, but may also appear in young people. Killing Cañonazos flies. There are many factors that can make them appear and the big question is can be eliminated? There are two methods to do so, but the news is not flattering. One of them is through a vitrectomy, surgery that eliminates vitreous humor completely and replaces it with a saline solution. Not only does it eliminate it, but it prevents them from appearing. They can also disintegrate with a Yag laser. The problem is that, with vitrectomy we run the risk of infections or a retinal detachment. And when giving the flies with laser, there is also the risk of damaging the structure of the eye or increasing the risk of glaucoma. And with supplements? Surgery is not an option, although there are private clinics that promote it, but … What happens to supplements? There is also cloth to cut. As mentioned in The Conversation, there are companies like Theia Bio that promote supplements to reduce floats. These supplements contain anti-anti-glycation antioxidants and micronutrients that, according to a study published in their webis able to reduce the size of these floats in 70% of the participants after six months of intake. Here there are a couple of doubts that survive the matter, which minocses. The first is the sample, since it was only 26 people and it is complicated extrapolar with such a low number of participants. The second is that vitreous humor is mobile, so flies are moving and rarely are at the same point, which makes it complex to really measure changes in the number of shadows. The sad conclusion. Unfortunately, those of us who live with Míodesopsias have to get used to them. Yes, it’s a “Are you sad? Well, you are not manual, but there is no evidence that supplements or changes in lifestyle help eliminate these shadows. HE esteem That a diet rich in carotenoids (present in foods such as spinach, broccili, watermelon or grapefruit), as well as the omega-3 is beneficial for ocular health and delaying symptoms of aging in the eye, but in general, not focused on eliminating the floating flies. And the best advice that occurs is … ignore them, not chase them and not be distracted with them. Come on, to live with those ‘bugs’ that one day decided to appear in our eyes. Now, it is also convenient to visit the ophthalmologist if, suddenly, many at the same time appear or make vision difficult, since in that case they could be a symptom of something more serious.
