Total boycott - the US withdraws its engineers from factories in China: "The covert war over chips is serious, very serious. If the tensions with Taiwan in the middle, with half the Chinese navy surrounding the island and firing live rounds weren't enough, if the latest US restrictions weren't already sufficient, now comes Biden and gives an even harsher order: every American employee has to withdraw from the FABs or R&D centers for chip development in China. In other words, the US is carrying out a total boycott of China."
What SimCity and the absence of car parks in the game tell us about our car-centric culture: "During his research, he noticed a detail that surprised him: the amount of space that car parks occupied in cities. 'It was a problem, because originally we wanted to model real cities, but we quickly realized that there were too many car parks in the real world and that our game would be very boring if it were proportional.'"
A new political party in Denmark led by an AI appears: "The Synthetic Party is a recently established political party in Denmark that has the peculiarity of being led by an AI. Artificial intelligence has reached such levels that it is no longer only used for AI chatbots to solve problems and deal with clients, but it is intended to reach the point of making decisions that run the country. Denmark seeks with this artificial representative to win a seat in parliament."
The Stockholm Solution: "Stockholm, the capital city of Sweden, has developed a very successful tree planting program that many experts believe produces better tree growth than almost all other methods developed for planting trees in the city center. sidewalks. Here is the story of the Stockholm Solution."
All the films based on Alan Moore's comics: "Films based on Alan Moore's comics do not have widespread applause and, in some way, many readers agree that they are not great adaptations. There are better and worse ones, obviously, but their transfer from one medium to another, as also happens with novels, was questionable. Today we review in this post all the films that have been based on Alan Moore's comics, the screenwriter who disowns cinema. Let's go!"
The 60 most beautiful Spanish words and their meaning: "There are very beautiful terms, not only for how they sound but for their meaning, because just as there are words that do not exist and should exist in our language, there are others that are wonderful, most beautiful, that sometimes have no equivalent in other languages. Here we bring you the 40 most beautiful Spanish words and their meaning, or at least, the ones that seem most beautiful to us."
The orgasm allergy exists and it's a nuisance: "People can react in many different ways to orgasm. Some laugh out loud, some burst into tears or even faint. There are also people who sneeze uncontrollably. Others even spend several days sick with what seems to be the flu. This last thing is what some people know as orgasm allergy, although it is not the most correct term. And that is precisely what happened to a 27-year-old American young man."
She is ‘Neve’, the oldest baby in Europe that reveals what pregnancies were like 10,000 years ago: "The discovery of ‘Neve’, the oldest baby found in Europe, reveals how women carried prehistoric pregnancies when agriculture began. Neve's body was buried with a cloth adorned with small shells. When she died, her mother carried her near her breast, in a special sling to carry newborn babies."
The complex domestication of the banana: a 7,000-year history with mysteries to solve: "What seems clear, according to various studies, is that for about 7,000 years, the hybridization of varieties with the best conditions for cultivation and food has been shaping current fruits. In general, it is considered that this domestication process began in New Guinea but until now there has been no way to determine the original species or the intermediate steps to reach the current reality."
Signals of other dimensions in the matter expelled by black holes: "Unraveling the properties and behavior of the universe in black holes, where space-time curves roughly, confronts us with unusual challenges. We are facing the quantum aspects of gravity. In them we look for signs of other dimensions beyond the four we perceive. Why do we believe they could exist?"
What is philosophy for? by Bertrand Russell: "The Nobel Prize in Literature makes a fierce defense of Philosophy as a discipline to understand life, whose value lies precisely in the questions it tries to answer. Philosopher, mathematician and writer, the British Bertrand Arthur William Russell was a prominent figure of the 20th century for his “revolt against idealism” British, his commitment to a scientific philosophy and the application of logical analysis to metaphysical problems that have always captivated human beings."
Of speculative leaps, hypotheses and limits: "They are precisely the speculative leaps like those of Democritus (or Zwicky, or Turing, or Lemaître, or Einstein), the deviations from the established thought of each era, which, often, years or centuries later, end up developing new theories that help us explain and understand a little better what surrounds us. A good part of the revolutions of modern physics burst into the academy of their day abruptly, producing deep wounds in the scientific establishment of the moment."
