La narcocultura se abre paso en América Latina

"Tra-traigo unos carros, el cargador lleno de balas / Pa' los traicioneros y el que se pase de lanza". Unos 155 millones de personas han visto en YouTube 'Plebada'. Le pertenece al trapero Hassan Emilio Kabande, más conocido como Peso Pluma, el primer mexicano en alcanzar el número uno en el Top Global de Spotify. Sus tematizaciones del narcotráfico que asolan a ese país son recurrentes. "Rápido pasa una camioneta/ Rápido es clave de quien la maneja/ Rápido truenan algunos radios/ Rápido el rifle, ya ha tumbado a varios", se le escucha cantar en 'El Rápido'. El personaje dispara por "órdenes del señor Archivaldo". Sicario y jefe hermanados en la misma canción. Otro de sus grandes éxitos es "AMG", compartido con Natael Cano. Unos 407 millones de usuarios le dieron clic al vídeo en el que...

Why airlines are raising baggage fees and charging more at the airport

Travelers arrive for flights at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on March 16, 2021.Scott Olson | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesAirlines are raising their prices to check a bag — again. Just how much you it will cost you, however, depends on when you pay for the service.United Airlines, American Airlines and JetBlue Airways are among the carriers that have raised the price to check bags this year. Each of them charge customers more if they check their bags at the airport or close to their departure compared with paying to check a bag online in advance.Carriers are encouraging customers to pay to check their bags ahead of their flight, an approach the airlines argue will free up employees at check-in areas and get travelers to their gates faster.Earlier this week, American Airlin...

Doctors warn freezing embryos is essential after Alabama ruling with IVF consequences

After Alabama’s state Supreme Court ruling on IVF, doctors are warning that women using in vitro fertilization and their babies could face major health risks — and young cancer patients could lose the chance to build a future family — if fertility clinics stop using frozen embryos.“That is a possible reality,” said Dr. Irene Dimitriadis, a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist at the Mass General Fertility Center in Boston. “It hurts me to think of it because that means we’re kind of going backwards in medicine.”The court ruled last week that embryos created by IVF are considered children, sparking concerns that embryos that are destroyed or damaged could lead to civil liability. Now some Alabama fertility clinics are halting operations, leaving patients in emotional l...

Tres líderes europeos y el primer ministro canadiense conmemoran el segundo año de guerra con Zelenski

Al menos 10,500 civiles muertos, según la ONU. Una economía en coma inducido, un sangriento frente terrestre de batalla estancado, escasez de municiones y soldados, y una población traumatizada. El segundo aniversario de la invasión de Vladimir Putin ha sido este sábado un momento de balance y, como tal, también ha estado marcado por las conmemoraciones. Pero sólo cuatro líderes internacionales aparecieron esta vez en la fotografía junto con Volodimir Zelenski, el presidente ucraniano, ninguno de Alemania, Francia y EEUU, países que hasta ahora ha sido convencidos aliados de Ucrania.En cambio, la primera en aparecer, pronto en la mañana, fue la presidenta de la Comisión europea, Ursula von der Leyen que, poco después de llegar a la capital ucraniana en tren, aplaudió la “resistencia” de...

Former U.S. spies warned in 2020 that the Hunter Biden scandal had Russian fingerprints. They feel vindicated now.

The Justice Department’s assertions this week that a longtime FBI informant was seeking to “spread misinformation” designed to hurt President Joe Biden after speaking to Russian intelligence operatives has put a new spotlight on an old debate:To what extent, if any, has the Russian government manufactured or amplified unproven allegations of corrupt Ukraine dealings by Joe and Hunter Biden?In a request to revoke his bail, prosecutors said that former informant Alexander Smirnov, charged last week with lying to the FBI in 2020 when he said Joe Biden had received a $5 million bribe, “is actively peddling new lies that could impact U.S. elections after meeting with Russian intelligence officials” as recently as last fall.The allegation that Smirnov was spreading new falsehoods about Joe Bi...

Alabama abortion ruling ‘was not a shock’ to activists

The Alabama Supreme Court ruling last week that embryos are people, imperiling in vitro fertilization, shocked many Americans. But the decision was vindicating for abortion rights activists who have warned for years that the fall of Roe v. Wade would put other forms of reproductive health care on the chopping block.“This is something that we knew was coming,” Mini Timmaraju, the president of Reproductive Freedom for All, told NBC News, adding, “For the folks who were watching closely, this was not a shock.”NBC News spoke to several leaders in the abortion rights movement who said they view the Alabama decision as the latest target in the yearslong history of anti-abortion advocacy that won't end with IVF. They also said they hoped the ruling would galvanize support for protecting access...

Florida measles cases rise as experts oppose state surgeon general’s decisions

The Florida measles outbreak is expanding. On Friday, health officials in Broward County confirmed a seventh case of the virus, a child under age 5.The patient is the youngest so far to be infected in the outbreak, and the first to be identified outside of Manatee Bay Elementary School in Weston, near Fort Lauderdale.It’s unknown what connection the youngest measles case has to the school, but the spread beyond school-age kids was expected.Cases are “not going to stay contained just to that one school, not when a virus is this infectious,” said Dr. David Kimberlin, co-director of the division of pediatric infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that as of Friday there have been at least 35 measles cases in 1...

How Nvidia grew to a trillion-dollar company fueling the AI revolution

The business world is increasingly banking on artificial intelligence to be the next big thing, and has found itself turning to one maker of computer chips in particular — Nvidia — to power the revolution.Since 1993, the Santa Clara, California-based company has been designing programmable chips that help run an array of consumer-facing applications.While Intel and Advanced Micro Devices had dominated the U.S. chip sector for decades, Nvidia’s entry signaled the advent of sophisticated graphics processing units (GPUs), which were better able to render images. That capability became ever more important as high-quality video increasingly dominated the tech and media landscape.At first, Nvidia was most associated with providing GPU processors for video game consoles like the Microsoft Xbox...
