Asia faces ‘costly paradox’ over divergent AI rules in US and EU

Asian technology firms are facing a “costly paradox” as they try to navigate an increasingly uneven global AI rule book, with divergent compliance requirements in the European Union and the United States threatening to blunt their competitive edge. Analysts say the challenge is acute for Asian companies. While the EU has a single, comprehensive and legally binding artificial intelligence framework based on the landmark EU AI Act, US technology-related laws are decentralised at the state...

I'm sailing through a sea of fog, looking for a lighthouse

Hi, everyone. I just joined this community because I’m looking for advice from people who are definitely more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to financial investments. Due to a series of life’s twists and turns, I now find myself managing a large sum of money—about one million euros. I’m interested in the financial world; I research stocks that catch my eye, but aside from a few silly and insignificant experiences with CFDs (we’re talking a few hundred euros), I’ve never made any serious i

The Origin of Feeling Blue, what other companies are screwed over by Blue Origin other than $ASTS, $AMZN and ULA?

The massive explosion of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket has gutted both AST SpaceMobile's and Amazon's Project Kuiper's near-term plans to get satellites to orbit and revenue flowing. $ASTS is down more than 10% premarket as I write this. Famously Blue Origin crushed ULA's hopes by its slow development of the BE4 engine. What other companies are feeling blue since BO likely won't launch again until 2027? submitted by /u/Yupperroo [link] [comments]

Elderly landlords of subdivided flats say they can’t afford upgrade costs

Some elderly landlords in Hong Kong have said they cannot afford renovations costing as much as HK$400,000 (US$51,060) to ensure their subdivided flats comply with new regulations and they may be forced to take units that rent for HK$3,000 a month off the market. At a media session on Friday, four landlords owning subdivided flats in Sham Shui Po and Yau Ma Tei said they had registered for the government’s grace period under the Basic Housing Unit Ordinance but were struggling to meet the new...

The art of the deal: how Beijing pushed Trump to ‘arrest’ the trend on Taiwan arms sales

When US President Donald Trump returned from Beijing earlier this month, he hailed his visit as a historic breakthrough, trumpeting the “fantastic trade deals” he sealed and boasting about his close ties with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. But on the margins, Beijing had sought to extract a price by pushing Washington for concessions on Taiwan. According to people familiar with the matter, Beijing pressed Washington to reduce the size of the arms packages sold to Taiwan and slow the pace of...

How do you share finances with your partner?

My wife and I have our own accounts and a joint one. Since almost everything important goes out of my account, only my wife transfers it to the joint account and we use it to pay for everything we need for food and joint purchases through the account. If I have paid more than average in a month, I also transfer money from the joint account to my account. It's all a bit complicated. How do you solve this? And calculate the ratio according to income, who has how much

What do you think about investing in Malaysia?

I am from Malaysia. Recently, i noticed alot of developers asking to focus on foreigners. Do you think Malaysia is good place to invest? Why Malaysia is better or worser than neighboring country?

How will South Korean nuclear submarines alter underwater balance near first island chain?

South Korea’s plans to build nuclear-powered submarines by the mid-2030s will spur a US-allied network of advanced underwater capabilities near the first island chain, strengthening deterrence against potential adversaries such as China and North Korea, analysts say. The South Korean defence ministry this week announced its basic plans to build the country’s first nuclear-powered submarine, giving its first detailed outline of the programme since US President Donald Trump granted initial...

Hegseth at Asia defence gathering, China-EU tensions, Computex

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth will address Asia’s main annual defence gathering on Saturday, with US allies perhaps hoping to avoid a repeat of last year’s ticking off.

How Trump’s war on Iran is jeopardising Asia’s remittance lifeline

There seems to be no end to the harm arising from US President Donald Trump’s madcap war on Iran. Go beyond the direct tragic impact across Iran itself, the collateral damage from Tehran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and its ad hoc assaults on US allies in the region: beyond the burgeoning impact of shortages of oil, gas, hydrogen, helium and sulphur, and the prospect of food shortages arising from the collapse in fertiliser supplies; beyond the hardships of tens of thousands of..

Beyond bans: why fringe Islamic movements still find followers in Malaysia

Malaysia’s religious authorities can ban teachings they consider deviant, send followers to rehabilitation classes and take group leaders to court. But they have not stopped banned or fringe Islamic movements from finding new followers online, according to officials, as some groups move abroad, rebrand or use social media to keep reaching Malaysians beyond the immediate reach of state enforcement. The concern has been raised most recently in Selangor, Malaysia’s richest and most populous state,.

86% of Hong Kong children get preferred school places as applications plunge 16%

Around 86 per cent of children seeking places in Hong Kong’s public primary schools have secured one of their top three choices through the central allocation system, a record high and up from about 79 per cent last year, as applicant numbers fell 16 per cent to 16,345, the steepest decline on record. But a representative from a primary school council said competition for discretionary places – commonly known as “door-knocking” – was unlikely to ease, as some parents whose children were...

How do people around you actually react when you say that you are investing?

I mentioned this in passing recently and got three completely different reactions. A friend said she was far too cautious for something like that. A colleague immediately asked which stocks I was buying. And someone else just said: be careful not to start gambling. I found it somehow exciting because everyone seems to understand something different about it. For some it's gambling, for others it's day trading, for others it's something only wealthy people do. How is that

Can direct commercial sales fix Taiwan’s US$20 billion weapons backlog?

US defence industry leaders are pushing for deeper commercial cooperation with Taiwan to strengthen its military capabilities, as the island seeks faster ways to bolster deterrence amid Beijing’s mounting military pressure. But they cautioned that such business deals could not replace traditional American arms sales regarded as the backbone of Taiwan’s defence. Speaking at the Taiwan-US Defence Industry Forum in Taipei on Thursday, retired US General Charles Flynn and senior American executives.

The incident in Romania, also a member of the European Union, ‌was likely to increase tensions on Nato’s eastern flank at a time when Ukraine’s allies were worried about Russia’s war on its neighbour spilling over its borders.

Put some investment sense in me

I've been investing for a few months now. I know I should just put money into an ETF like VWCE since it's the safest bet, but I've also been picking individual stocks, and they've given me really good results so far. I'm aware that in the long run, individual stock picking for someone like me is hit or miss. But I genuinely enjoy the process of researching and buying individual stocks based on what's happening in the market. For example, I only invested €100 in Micron, but I'd seen news about a

Japan’s hefty visa fees, new digital entry system move closer to implementation
