Booking system considered to protect popular Hong Kong hiking trail from crowds

Authorities are considering a pilot booking system for one of Hong Kong’s most popular hiking routes and creating a new marine park at Sharp Island in Sai Kung, following bigger-than-expected crowds during mainland Chinese holidays. The proposals were outlined in a paper submitted to a Legislative Council ecology and tourism subcommittee ahead of a meeting on Monday. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department said visitor numbers at the Po Pin Chau section of Sai Kung East Country...

Singapore’s Pritam Singh is facing cracks in his party. What does this say about the opposition?

Just over a year after consolidating its status as Singapore’s main opposition, the Workers’ Party (WP) is grappling with internal fissures as chief Pritam Singh’s role is being questioned by his own members. Singh, who has led the WP since 2018, is facing a special conference later this month called by 25 cadre members pushing for him to step down as secretary general for breaching the party constitution, according to local media. Sources say there is a generational divide in the party, with...

The Next Infrastructure Supercycle Could Be Worth $20 Trillion

Unprecedented heatwaves, violent storms, mega-cyclones, catastrophic floods, prolonged droughts and uncontrollable wildfires have all become commonplace, with extreme weather events increasing in both frequency and intensity thanks in large part to human-induced climate change. Global temperatures have continued to soar, with recent years continually ranking among the hottest on record. The consequences go far beyond the destruction of local ecosystems and damaging physical infrastructure, creat

Israel and Lebanon agree to renew fragile ceasefire, create Hezbollah-free zones

Israel and Lebanon agreed Wednesday to renew their fragile ceasefire and create a number of “pilot” security zones inside Lebanon from which Hezbollah militants would be banned. In a joint statement released after a fourth round of US-mediated talks at the State Department, the two sides said the ceasefire “is contingent on a complete cessation of Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of all Hezbollah operatives” from areas south of the Litani River. It was not immediately clear how the security...

It’s back – revived TEDxHongKong challenges assumptions and reframes beliefs

Hong Kong is an international economic powerhouse brimming with talent and capital, but how much of that has trickled down to local communities? This was the question that weighed on Daniella Lopez’s mind when she acquired the licence for TEDxHongKong – which had been inactive since 2017 – in late 2025. There have been more focused TEDx events in Hong Kong, such as TEDxTinHauWomen, that had specific themes. But TEDxHongKong is about building a broader platform that uses local expertise and...

Europe Scrambles to Contain the Energy Shock

The European Union and the Eurozone are feeling the energy shock as the Iran war enters its fourth month. The spike in oil and gas prices amid the Middle East crisis is raising inflation and moderating economic growth expectations in the EU and the Euro area, which are grappling with the second energy crisis in four years. Comparisons with the 2022 inflation and gas supply shock in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine are flawed as circumstances are different and the likelihood of runaway

How do you think the SpaceX IPO will affect other space stocks (RKLB, ASTS, LUNR, etc.)?

Do you see these other stocks benefiting from the space-based bonanza? Or do they take a hit, as space-focused investors withdraw to reallocate their funds into SpaceX? Or is all already priced in, and the other space stocks will see neither a benefit nor a hindrance due to SpaceX's emergence? Very curious to hear everyone's opinion. submitted by /u/TomGerity [link] [comments]

Taiwan opposition leader promotes cross-strait peace during US trip

The need for Beijing and Washington to pursue “reconciliation and cooperation” and avoid war is the central message of her US trip, Taiwan’s main opposition leader Cheng Li-wun said in San Francisco. Cheng, leading a delegation from the Kuomintang (KMT), arrived in San Francisco on Monday evening, beginning a two-week US visit closely watched in Beijing, Taipei and Washington. In San Francisco’s Chinatown on Tuesday, Cheng said China and the US should forge “a relationship of friendship and...

SpaceX IPO will pop the AI bubble

OBS: im making this post mostly because I genuinely want to hear other opinions, especially from people who understand markets, tech, or macroeconomics better than I do. Just to give some context I’m an aerospace engineer and I work with satellites, so I’m definitely not an Elon Musk or SpaceX hater. But I really think people should be careful over the next few months because the AI bubble is close to bursting, and I believe a SpaceX IPO could be the trigger. If you believe “this time is differe

Nokia’s quantum-safe integration with QuStream that hasn’t been widely disclosed yet

Been digging into some quantum security stuff and came across what looks like a quiet collaboration between Nokia and a smaller player called QuStream. At Nokia’s Swiss Innovation Day this year, QuStream’s CEO Adrian Neal (who also leads post-quantum at Capgemini) presented their joint work. They’re running QuStream’s Quantum Safe Network (QQSN) on Nokia’s high-performance hardware, with firmware integration and upgrades planned. The tech stands out: it uses information-theoretic security with p

US House votes to stop Iran war in rebuke to Trump

The Republican-led House voted on Wednesday to halt the war with Iran, breaking with US President Donald Trump on an unpopular foreign conflict that is taking an escalating economic toll on Americans. The 215-208 vote showed worries over the war spreading in the president’s own party five months before congressional elections. Last month, a Senate resolution to end the war also advanced past a procedural hurdle for the first time, though that legislation has not yet come to a formal vote. The...

Opinion of older people on the younger generation

I came across this video and am quite shocked by the statements of the first 2 people: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jm-n7zI0hr8 Are they serious? These are individual opinions, right? You work yourself to death here and then statements like that are like a punch in the stomach. On the other hand, that would also explain the election results of the last federal election. Apart from the fact that "more work" would not solve our economic problem... submitted by /u/Zestyclose-Can5544 [li
