第一則:黃逸豪遭假車禍攻擊 檢方查出疑涉中共指使
相聲演員黃逸豪於 9 月演出前遭車輛撞傷。經新北地檢署調查,一名中國人士疑似因不滿他批評中共,以 45 萬元找人跟監並策劃假車禍,原本企圖讓他重傷、無法登台演出。
涉案人士先裝 GPS 掌握黃逸豪行蹤,再開車衝撞,所幸最後僅造成黃逸豪骨盆挫傷。檢方認為案件涉及跨境鎮壓,於 10 月 21 日依重傷害未遂等罪起訴 5 人,並建請法院從重量刑。
Huang Yi-hao Injured in Staged Car Crash, Prosecutors Suspect Chinese Involvement
Crosstalk performer Huang Yi-hao was hit by a car before a performance in September. New Taipei prosecutors found that a person in China, allegedly unhappy with Huang’s criticism of the Chinese government, offered NT$450,000 to have people follow him and stage a car crash. The plan was intended to seriously injure Huang and prevent him from performing.
The suspects first placed a GPS tracker on Huang’s vehicle to track his movements before hitting him with a car. Fortunately, Huang Yi-hao suffered only a bruised pelvis. Prosecutors believe the case involved transnational repression. On October 21, they charged five people with attempted serious injury and other offenses and asked the court to give them heavy sentences.
第二則:Grab 併購 foodpanda 遭否決 公平會憂外送競爭減少
公平會於 10 月 21 日否決 Grab 併購 foodpanda,認為此併購可能減少台灣外送市場的競爭。目前市場主要由 Uber Eats 與 foodpanda 競爭,而 Grab 原本希望透過這筆交易接手 foodpanda 進入台灣市場。
然而,Uber 持有 Grab 約 13.1% 股份,雙方過去也有合作,公平會擔心併購後兩者競爭意願降低。即使 Grab 提出降低 Uber 持股等改善方案,仍無法消除疑慮。
Grab’s foodpanda Acquisition Rejected, Taiwan Regulator Raises Competition Concerns
Taiwan’s Fair Trade Commission rejected Grab’s acquisition of foodpanda on October 21, saying the deal could reduce competition in Taiwan’s food delivery market. The market is currently dominated by Uber Eats and foodpanda, while Grab had planned to take over foodpanda and enter the Taiwan market through the deal.
However, Uber owns about 13.1% shares of Grab, and the two companies have also worked together in the past. The Fair Trade Commission was concerned that the two companies would have less incentive to compete after the acquisition. Even though Grab proposed measures such as reducing Uber’s stake, they were not enough to address these concerns.
第三則:黃仁勳把資料中心塞進貨櫃 看好實體 AI 下一波商機
輝達執行長黃仁勳於 10 月 21 日在柏林 GTC 大會推出貨櫃式 AI 資料中心 DSX POD。它先在工廠把運算、網路與冷卻設備整合完成,再以貨櫃式模組運到使用地點,減少現場組裝時間,加快 AI 基礎設施建置。
黃仁勳認為,下一波發展將是能理解真實環境並採取行動的「實體 AI」,包括機器人、自動駕駛與工業製造。他也認為機器人領域的「ChatGPT 時刻」即將到來,相關技術可能迎來重大突破。
Jensen Huang Puts AI Data Centers in Containers, Sees Physical AI as the Next Big Opportunity
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang introduced the DSX POD, a container-based AI data center, at the GTC conference in Berlin on October 21. It first integrates the computing, networking, and cooling equipment at a factory. The system is then transported to the site as a container-based module, reducing on-site installation time and speeding up the construction of AI infrastructure.
Jensen Huang believes the next wave of AI will be “physical AI,” which can understand the real world and take action, with applications in robots, self-driving vehicles, and industrial manufacturing . He also believes that the “ChatGPT moment” for robotics is coming soon and that the technology could see major breakthroughs.
第四則:高薪者為何總能準時下班?關鍵是工作開始前就準備好
一項針對 18,000 名員工的調查發現,高薪者習慣前一天排好工作,先確認目標、期限與優先順序。隔天就能直接開始,並把需要專注的重要任務放在較少受干擾的早上。
到了下午注意力下降時,他們則改做行政工作,避免勉強處理需要高度專注的任務。提前安排工作與適合的時段,有助於減少臨時準備和分心帶來的損耗,讓工作提早完成,而不是靠加班補進度。
Why Do High Earners Often Leave Work on Time? The Key Is Preparing Before the Day Begins
A study of 18,000 employees found that high earners tend to plan their work the day before, setting clear goals, deadlines, and priorities. This allows them to start working right away the next day and handle important tasks in the morning, when there are fewer distractions.
As their attention drops in the afternoon, they switch to administrative tasks to avoid forcing themselves to handle tasks that require intense focus. Planning both tasks and timing in advance helps reduce last-minute preparation and distractions, allowing them to finish earlier instead of relying on overtime.
第五則:含糖乳品要課稅!英國擴大徵收糖稅搶救國民健康
英國政府於去年 11 月宣布擴大實施含糖飲料稅,將課稅門檻從每 100 毫升含糖 5 克降至 4.5 克,並首度納入含糖乳製飲品與奶製品替代品。官方預估,新制上路後,全英國每天可減少約 1,700 萬卡路里攝取。
數據顯示,糖稅實施後,市售包裝飲料平均含糖量已下降近一半。台灣目前暫不考慮課徵糖稅,主因是手搖飲高度客製化,含糖量與容量難以統一計算。
Sugary Dairy Drinks to Be Taxed! UK Expands Sugar Tax to Protect Public Health
The UK government announced last year in November that it would expand its sugar tax on sugary drinks. The tax threshold will be lowered from 5 grams of sugar per 100 milliliters to 4.5 grams, and sugary dairy drinks and dairy alternatives will be included for the first time. Officials estimate that after the new rules take effect, total daily calorie intake across the UK could fall by about 17 million calories.
Data shows that since the sugar tax was introduced, the average sugar content of packaged drinks on the market has dropped by nearly half. Taiwan is not currently considering a sugar tax, mainly because hand-shaken drinks are highly customizable, making it difficult to calculate sugar content and drink size under a unified standard.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
The staged car attack on Huang Yi-hao has raised concerns about possible transnational repression targeting people in Taiwan.
Grab’s foodpanda acquisition was rejected over concerns that its ties with Uber could reduce competition in Taiwan’s food delivery market.
NVIDIA introduced a container-based AI data center, while Jensen Huang sees physical AI as the next major wave of AI development.
High earners work more efficiently by planning ahead and matching important tasks with the times when they can focus best.
The UK is expanding its sugar tax to cover more drinks and reduce calorie intake, while Taiwan is not considering a similar policy due to the complexity of hand-shaken beverages.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
