香港董事学会的《施政报告》回应 管治恢复正常,更可锻造未来

HONG KONG, Oct 6, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 香港董事学会就2021年10月6日发表之《施政报告》作出响应。行政长官今早发表施政报告,表示香港已经由乱转治,回到正轨,并展示了新气象,勾画了新布局。香港董事学会认为,管治既已恢复正常,更须关注民生,发展经济。北部都会区,深港双城三圈新布局行政长官宣布,政府会在今日同步公布《北部都会区发展策略》,对接壤深圳的新界一带作出跨越两地的行政界线的策略规划。我们认为,新界北部的规划,过去存在太多以香港为中心的视角而做出的构想,但随着十四-五规划布局、大湾区社会经济融合的大势,原来的边鄙,越来越具备经济发展战略的中心位置。北部都会区亦会秉承运输基建先行的发展模式。其中,连接洪水桥至前海的铁路,将有助港商、专业人士更好利用前海服务业深化改革所能带来的机遇。重组决策局,提升管治效能行政长官指出,为切合施政重点,应考虑重组决策局,并将准备重组方案,供下届政府参考。其中,设立文化体育及旅游局,可以统合文化体育事务,创业产业和旅游业。分拆运输及房屋局,可以让两大政策范畴更获得专注。至于扩大创新及科技局成为创新科技及工业局,锐意凸显由创科推动本港再工业化的发展,对香港实体经济的多元发展会有益处。行政长官承认,政府对于讯息发放及政策解说方面,需要改善。我们同意行政长官所说,让市民更快掌握政府政策和最新情况是管治重要一环,但正如我们在今年的施政报告建议中所提到,官员更需留心政策措施对市民所能造成的影响和感受而非为满足部门官僚的程序要求,更要用实际行动展现服务市民的热诚。土地与房屋解决香港民生问题,撇不开土地与房屋供应。学会相信,随着较多单位落成,应该可以为市民尤其年轻家庭重建置业阶梯。增加公营房屋比例,可以让亟需公屋单位以满足基本住屋需要的人士能快些达成上楼愿望。增加房屋单位的进度,端视乎土地供应。去年的《施政报告》已经提出,要加快土地发展程序,理顺从简,加强部门协调,压缩「生地」变「熟地」和住宅楼宇落成的时间表。而今年提出的北部都会区发展规划,会在未来日子提供若干土地供兴建房屋单位。政府也会采取其它措施加快土地供应,例如检视绿化地带、释放新界祖堂地、延伸补地价标准化至适用于新界土地、延长活化工厦措施及重建旧屋邨等。安宁社会 有利吸纳人才行政长官决定增加「优秀人才计划」配额,并按照人才清单检讨结果,就未来香港经济发展的重点如金融、创科、文化艺术和护理科学等领域新增或调整了专业的涵盖范围。这些措施,有助吸引各地人才来港工作。提升企业管治学会认为,公司董事孜孜不倦学习企业管治知识及技能,是配合香港经济发展的人才培训之中常被忽略的一环。一家公司的企业管治,最终由董事负责。提高董事的素质和能力,有助提高企业管治水平。学会认为,公司董事在上任时应当具备充分的能力履行职责。在任内,则需与时并进...

Bitcoin uses more energy than some countries

(NYTIMES) - Cryptocurrencies have emerged as one of the most captivating, yet head-scratching, investments in the world. They soar in value. They crash. They'll change the world, their fans claim, by displacing traditional currencies like the dollar, rupee or ruble. And in the process of simply existing, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, one of the most popular, use astonishing amounts of electricity. The process of creating Bitcoin consumes around 96 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, more than is used by the Philippines, a nation of about 110 million. That usage, which is close to half a per cent of all the electricity consumed in the world, has increased about tenfold in just the past five years. The Bitcoin network uses about the same amount of electricity as Washington state does in a year. And more than one-third of what residential cooling in the United States uses up. Indeed, it uses up more than seven times as much electricity as all of Google's global operations. Why is it so energy-intensive? For a long time, money has been thought of as something you can hold in your hand - say, a dollar bill. A government prints some paper and guarantees its value. On the Internet, t...

Quarashi Network is Launching a Platform that Provides Its Users with Full privacy and Anonymity

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA / SEAPRWire / SEPTEMBER 03, 2021 / Quarashi Network, a convenient and user-friendly product with different core components is launching a platform that provides its users with full privacy and anonymity. For several decades, lack of full privacy and anonymity has been a long unresolved issue on the internet. While most of the existing social media platforms and messaging apps are yet to provide its users with full anonymity and privacy, It is important to note that some of their basic designs aim at entrapping their users, stealing their personal data which are later being sold to the highest bidder. Sadly, should the victim attempt to retrieve the lost data, they pay heavily for it — thereby sacrificing their rights to privacy. According to this research, 55% of internet users have taken steps to avoid observation by specific people, government and organizations. More so, about 59% of internet users do not even believe that it is ever possible to achieve complete anonymity online. Statistically, this is a clear sign that so many people — businesses and organisations alike have been affected in one way or the other, and the crypto industry is not left out. Yes, t...

Ethereum Forks in London and Shanghai, What Effect they Will Have

London / TickerInsider / August 15, 2021 / London Hard Fork contains EIP-1559 which will change the Gas fee structure of the Ether mainnet and introduce a destruction mechanism for the ETH token model, while EIP-3529 will directly affect the Gas Token failure on Ether after the upgrade. ETH London Fork Shanghai Hard Fork may realize the merging of ETH1/ETH2 and completely change the consensus mechanism of the Ethernet mainnet, while the token supply issuance model of ETH has also changed. For this London Hard Fork, some of the EIPs involved may have a high threshold of understanding for new users, so before going deeper into each EIP, let’s briefly outline the possible impacts of this upgrade. EIP-1559 can make the future Ether Gas handling fee more predictable and stable, while nearly half of the network handling fee in the future Ether network may be directly destroyed. Although the current market is relatively low, the destruction of ETH has a profound impact on the long-term value support of ETH in the future, especially in the future after the transition of Ether to PoS, under the premise of the prosperity of the Ether ecology, the network In particular, after the transition o...

Tesla plans to open its charging network to other electric vehicles later this year

BENGALURU (REUTERS) - Tesla plans to open its network of superchargers to other electric vehicles later this year, chief executive officer Elon Musk said on Twitter. The electric-car maker's fast-charging network, with over 25,000 superchargers globally, has given it a competitive edge. Meanwhile, other carmakers have formed alliances or invested in start-ups for networks as they rush new electric vehicle entrants to market. "We're making our Supercharger network open to other EVs later this year," Mr Musk said on Tuesday (July 20), adding that over time Tesla's charging network will be opened to other electric vehicles in all countries. Germany's transport minister said last month he was trying to convince Tesla to open its charging network to other carmakers to make it easier for drivers of electric vehicles to charge. In the United States, President Joe Biden's administration late last month embraced a bipartisan Senate deal to spend US$1.2 trillion (S$1.6 trillion) on infrastructure projects, including US$7.5 billion on electric vehicle infrastructure, including charging stations. Charging companies such as Blink Charging, EVgo, ChargePoint Holdings and Volkswagen's Electrify A...
