The failure of Silicon Valley Bank unleashes an earthquake in the ecological transition of the United States

"We withdrew the money at 5:00 p.m. US East Coast (10:00 p.m. PST) on Thursday, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) suspended payments the next day." This is the answer given by Peter Reinhardt, co-founder of Charm Industrial, the startup that buries Microsoft's CO2.

Man accused of child abuse images evaded prosecution because of glitch

A California father who was arrested last week after authorities said they had discovered more than 900 images of child sex abuse was also accused in 2018 of having "several hundred" similar images — but he has evaded prosecution because of an alleged computer glitch, a law enforcement official said. Ryan Rovito, 34, of Redding, is accused of felony possession of child pornography and surreptitious recording after his wife turned over to police a camera she found hidden in the couple's guest bathroom and a hard drive.In 2018, his previous wife also went to authorities and reported that he had photos of “prepubescent juveniles” on his computer, said Sgt. Rob Garnero, a Redding police spokesperson. That case got lost in a new software system and didn't make it to the Shasta County Distric...

The war in Ukraine flies over an Ibero-American summit marked by the absence of Lula

The King closes the business meeting. And he participates in the plenary session of the Heads of State and Government, where the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, will also attend, who will arrive directly from the European Council held in Brussels. In the Government they recognize that "the war in Ukraine is going to fly over" the debates, but that it is not on the agenda. The increase in prices, raw materials or increases in...

Soria, anthropologist and author of the book 'Spain does not it is country for rivers'.

"It represents the biggest problems of Iberian torrents," he explains. Pollution, overexploitation and barriers that can be observed in most rivers throughout th...
