La agonía de la Gran Vía: no hay ni colas en PrimarkTiendas valladas a cal y canto, hoteles y musicales cerrados, bares desiertos... La calle más popular de Madrid languidece(...) Agosto es un mes tradicionalmente flojo por el éxodo masivo de madrileños, pero con la llegada de extranjeros se lograban salvar los muebles. Antes de la pandemia del coronavirus, la ciudad vivía un momento de eclosión turística y el año pasado recibió 10 millones de visitantes.Este verano las cifras se han desplomado por completo. Si en el mes de julio de 2019, 1.117.908 de turistas se alojaron en los hoteles madrileños, este año sólo han venido 209.179, lo que representa un 81% menos.

New Yorkers Are Fleeing to the Suburbs: 'The Demand Is Insane'The pandemic is spurring home sales as prosperous city residents seek more space. One listing had 97 showings and received 24 offers.Experts have predicted New York City's demise during past crises, including the Sept. 11 terror attacks, only to be proven wrong. In fact, even as office towers in Manhattan remain largely empty because of the outbreak, some businesses, including Amazon and Facebook, are expanding their footprints, betting that workers will eventually return to their desks.Still, many companies and workers have become much more comfortable with remote work during the outbreak, suggesting that the suburbs will remain very attractive for the foreseeable future.For now, many buyers in the suburbs are expressing concern about the health risks of living in densely packed urban neighborhoods. Facing pandemic restrictions, they want room that New York City often cannot provide: a yard for their children to play and an office to work…
UAE formally ends Israel boycott amid US-brokered dealDecree allows trade and commerce between United Arab Emirates and IsraelThe ruler of the United Arab Emirates issued a decree Saturday formally ending the country's boycott of Israel amid a U.S.-brokered deal to normalize relations between the two countries.The announcement now allows trade and commerce between the UAE, home to oil-rich Abu Dhabi and skyscraper-studded Dubai, and Israel, home to a thriving diamond trade, pharmaceutical companies and tech start-ups.The announcement further cements the Aug 13 deal opening up relations between the two nations, which required Israel to halt its contentious plan to annex occupied West Bank land sought by the Palestinians.(...) WAM said the new decree allows Israelis and Israeli firms to do business in the UAE, a federation of seven sheikhdoms on the Arabian Peninsula. It also allows for the purchase and trade of Israeli goods.“The decree of the new law comes within the UAE’s efforts to expand diplomatic and commercial cooperation with Israel,” WAM said. It lays out “a roadmap toward launching joint cooperation, leading to bilateral relations by stimulating economic growth and promoting technological innovation.”Already, some Israeli firms had signed deals with Emirati counterparts. But the repeal of the law widens the likelihood of other joint ventures, such as in aviation or in banking and finance.Dubai International Airport, home to the long-haul carrier Emirates, has been the world's busiest for international travel for years. The Dubai International Financial Center also hosts major firms who trade in the hours between Asian and European markets. Dubai already has a major gold market and growing diamond trade.Emirati firms likely also want to access Israeli technological know-how. Some already had even before the deal — with the cybersecurity firm DarkMatter reportedly hiring Israeli military-trained hackers.(...)The decree formally eliminates a 1972 law on the UAE's books since just after the country's formation. That law mirrored the widely held stance by Arab nations at that time that recognition of Israel would only come after the Palestinians had an independent state of their own.

When "Engagement" Backfired: The Story Behind Pro-Communist Private Enterprise(...) Ye's account is based off of interviews with Safety Electric's former managers; it is possible that had she interviewed their counterparts at Schneider Electric or GE instead, she would have heard a very different story. However, who stole IP from whom is not especially relevant to my take-away here. The liberal world's strategy of "engagement" with China, especially as this strategy was understood in the '90s and early aughts, was predicated on the notion that personal ties and shared experiences between Chinese and outsiders would naturally lead to positive interaction. The more engaged we were, the more mutual understanding would grow. Soon each group would perceive the other more positively than before. In hindsight, all of that seems incredible naive. The source of the naivete is clear enough. It is easy for cosmopolitans like myself to plant themselves on the other side of the Pacific and have a grand time. Early connections with an opening China were sustained on the back of just those sorts of cosmopolitans: diplomats, journalists, exchange students, and adventurers would head to China from the West, and graduate students, the majority of whom were liberal in their sentiments, came to the West from China. But the sort of easy friendships cosmopolitan Chinese formed with cosmopolitans Westerners were poor guideposts for what would happen when more 'normal' people from inside and outside of China's borders were mixed together. You see this pattern often: when mass Chinese tourists arrive at a new locale, on American university campuses, during military-to-military exchanges, and even on online video games.[3] Mutual understanding has often not bred warmness, but contempt.I do not blame either side for this. Genuine multiculturalism is hard. Creating positive interactions when you take people from widely different cultural backgrounds and force them all together is really hard. It can be done, but it is hard. This is true even with the most open and cosmopolitan members of a given population. It is much more true for the broader (and more nationalistic) masses. We pretend that hard things are easy and automatic. Now we reap the consequences of that error.
Eso de que con buena voluntad puede resolverse o hablando se entiende la gente...a veces sí, pero no siempre. Los conflictos interculturales son una realidad...
La religión y la evolución humana. Hablamos con Gustavo Bueno30/8/20 by cienciaes.com Gustavo Bueno fue un filosofo español considerado por algunos como uno de los mayores filósofos del siglo XX y principios del XXI. Su obra es enorme y en ella tiene lugar un intercambio constante entre la ciencia y la historia de la filosofía. Hace años tuve la oportunidad de charlar con él sobre un tema fascinante: La religión en la evolución humana. Circunstancias personales y problemas técnicos que surgieron en aquel momento imposibilitaron la publicación de la entrevista. Gustavo Bueno falleció el 7 de agosto de 2016 y aquella entrevista, grabada antes de su muerte, la hemos podido recuperar y se ha convertido ahora en un documento inédito del filósofo, un documento que hoy compartimos con todos vosotros en este nuevo capítulo de Hablando con Científicos.

Rhodes señala que, ante el aumento en un tercio de la oferta de pisos que les llegan para alquilar, Lucas Fox ha empezado a “filtrarlos, y no aceptar esos pisos sin salida al exterior, porque el 90% de los pisos que alquilamos tienen al menos un balcón”.

Buffett looks to Japan with 5% stakes in five biggest trading firmsBerkshire Hathaway Inc (BRKa.N) has bought a 5% stake in each of Japan’s five biggest trading houses, together worth over $6 billion, marking a departure for Chairman Warren Buffett as he looks beyond the United States to diversify his conglomerate.(...) The investment will help reduce Berkshire’s dependence on the U.S. economy, which in the last quarter contracted the most in at least 73 years as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold. Many of its businesses have struggled, including aircraft parts maker Precision Castparts from which it bore a $9.8 billion writedown.Buffett’s choice in Japan, however, surprised market players as trading houses have long been far from investor favorites. As well as significant exposure to the energy sector and resource price volatility, tangled business models involving commodities as varied as noodles and rockets have long been a turn-off.“Their cheap valuation may have been an attraction,” said Norihiro Fujito, chief investment strategist at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities in Tokyo. “But it is un-Buffett-like to buy into all five companies rather than selecting a few.”(...)
