購車指南:在川普關稅時代如何獲得划算的交易

(SeaPRwire) -   美國人已經感到擔憂,此前總統Donald Trump週三宣布對進口汽車和汽車零件徵收關稅。 顯示關稅可能會使車輛成本增加4,711美元。 但行業專家表示,消費者不應過早恐慌。 Autotrader執行編輯Brian Moody告訴TIME:「你不需要恐慌,」他指的是Trump政府頒布的 。「如果有人已經在考慮購買新車,並且他們計劃今年這樣做,我認為你可以繼續這樣做。」 新的貿易政策可能會加劇汽車行業現有的問題,該行業已經受到二手車短缺的困擾。 在COVID-19疫情期間,二手車的價格飛漲,在2021年底達到高峰,然後有所下降——儘管二手車的價格仍然遠高於疫情前的水平, 。  Moody說:「汽車製造商決定減少生產新車,認為需求會降低。」「當時沒有生產的新車現在是二手車,它們今天不在市場上。」 他補充說,二手車的供應有限「幾乎總是意味著2025年到2026年二手車的價格會很高,無論誰是總統,無論簽署什麼行政命令。」  今年早些時候,Trump 恢復了對鋼鐵徵收25%的關稅,鋼鐵是汽車製造中使用的主要材料之一,以及鋁。 正如 所指出的那樣,關稅已經影響了汽車製造業。 白宮 表示,作為《美國-墨西哥-加拿大協定》(USMCA) 的一部分,進口汽車零件的公司將獲得一些豁免,直到商務部長Howard Lutnick制定一項對其外國製造商品徵稅的流程。  以下是消費者可以用來節省汽車費用的提示。  立即開始研究  雖然專家表示他們將不得不等待Lutnick的命令來解讀汽車製造商將如何受到影響,但那些有興趣購買新車的人現在應該開始研究他們想要的車型或品牌。  Moody說:「也許只是做一些關於『哪些汽車是在美國製造的? 我當地的經銷商的庫存供應情況如何?』之類的事情的教育。」 「我會打電話給一兩家當地經銷商,說『嘿,我有興趣購買XYZ汽車。 你們有很多嗎? 這些很難拿到嗎?』」 提前與經銷商建立關係可能對談判交易很有用。 購物者在購買前也應考慮車輛的受歡迎程度。 他說:「需求高的汽車總是會很貴。 需求低的汽車是可以達成交易的汽車。」 對於2024年來說,美國最受歡迎的汽車包括Ford F-Series、Chevrolet Silverado、Toyota RAV4、Tesla Model Y和Honda CR-V, 。 要求這些熱門車型的替代品可能在長期內證明能有效節省資金。  Moody補充說:「尋找低銷售額或慢銷售額的機會,並在顏色功能等方面保持靈活性。」 白色是 美國最受歡迎的顏色,黑色、銀色和灰色也名列前茅。  了解哪些汽車是美國製造的  超過 的人希望購買美國製造的汽車,這可能證明是有益的,因為新宣布的關稅。 Tesla在美國設計、製造和服務 ,因此最不可能受到關稅的影響。 根據2024年 的一份名單,他們的Model Y在「最美國汽車」中名列榜首,該名單根據汽車的組裝地點、零件含量、發動機產地、變速箱產地和美國製造業勞動力對汽車進行排名。 該公司還有其他兩款汽車——Model S和Model X,進入了前十名。  Honda也有三款汽車位居榜首,Passport排名第二,Odyssey和Ridgeline也入選。 Volkswagen ID.4、Toyota Camry、Jeep Gladiator和Lexus TX也入選。  這並不是說潛在的購車者應該自動假設這些車型不會受到關稅的影響。   Moody說:「[汽車製造商]將在他們的所有車輛中分攤它,以便減少對消費者的影響。 因此,如果你在一輛車上產生10%的關稅,在另一輛車上產生5%的關稅,在另一輛車上產生20%的關稅,他們將進行數學計算並將其平均分配,以便他們系列中的每輛車都獲得相同的美元金額的價格上漲。」 汽車製造商也不會為他們的汽車製造每一個零件。 相反,許多公司依賴外國供應商提供發動機或變速箱。  此外,一些公司,如Ford,在前10名中沒有任何車輛,但在該國境內銷售的汽車中,超過70%是在美國製造的。 General Motors (GM) 在前100名中擁有的汽車最多,即使它是一個進口品牌。 週四,他們的股票 。  Deutsche Bank分析師 表示:「Tesla和Ford似乎是最受保護的,因為車輛組裝設施的位置,儘管Ford確實面臨進口發動機的增量風險。」 「GM對墨西哥的風險最大。」 利用你能利用的一切 潛在的購車者應該研究經銷商可能為最近畢業的學生、軍人等提供的許多折扣。 通常,一些專家表示,購買汽車的最佳時間是一年中的年底。 但Moody表示,消費者還應該關注在月底或財政季度末購買汽車的機會。  他說:「在這些標記的時間段內,通常經銷商會給銷售人員提供獎勵,或者汽車製造商……會給客戶提供獎勵。」 「他們可能想稍微降低汽車的價格,只是為了把它交到你手中,以便他們可以再記下一筆銷售額。 這不太可能撤銷太多……但這仍然是一件事。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

馬斯克刪除承諾向威斯康辛州最高法院選舉選民提供金錢的帖子

(SeaPRwire) -   威斯康星州麥迪遜 — 在億萬富翁馬斯克 (Musk) 於其社群媒體上發文表示,他計劃「親手交給」兩位已在威斯康星州最高法院選舉中投票的選民 200 萬美元後,他於週五澄清了他在競爭激烈的最高法院選舉前兩天訪問威斯康星州的原因。 馬斯克稍後發布了一項澄清,表示這筆錢將用於那些將成為反對「激進」法官的線上請願活動的「發言人」。在最初表示該活動只對已在最高法院選舉中投票的人開放後,他說出席人數將僅限於已簽署請願書的人。 方向的改變發生在威斯康星州民主黨籍檢察長表示,他計劃於週五尋求法院命令,阻止馬斯克交出這筆錢之際。 同樣在週五,馬斯克的政治行動委員會確定了其第一個 100 萬美元贈送的接受者 — 一位來自 Green Bay 的男子,他曾向威斯康星州共和黨 (Wisconsin GOP) 和法院選舉中的保守派候選人捐款,並且有發布支持川普總統 (President Donald Trump) 及其議程歷史。 馬斯克在週四深夜最初發布後約 12 小時,從其社群媒體平台 X 上刪除了關於週日贈送活動的帖子。他大約一小時後發布了澄清聲明。 他曾發文表示,他計劃在週日的活動中向兩位選民各贈送 100 萬美元,而當時距離將決定這個搖擺州法院意識形態控制權的選舉僅剩兩天。 馬斯克現在已刪除的帖子說:「為了感謝你們花時間投票,我還將親自交出兩張各一百萬美元的支票。」「這非常重要。」 最高法院選舉打破了美國司法選舉先前的支出紀錄,並已成為對馬斯克和川普政府最初幾個月的公投。 川普 (Trump) 認可了共和黨同僚 Brad Schimel,並於週四晚上與他舉行了電話市政廳會議。 川普在 Schimel 的競選團隊組織的電話會議中簡短地說:「這是一場非常重要的比賽。」「我知道你覺得這是地方性的,但事實並非如此。它實際上遠不止於地方性。全國都在關注。」 Waukesha County 法官 Schimel 將在週二的選舉中面對 Dane County 法官 Susan Crawford。 Crawford 獲得了廣泛民主黨人的支持,包括在威斯康星州最高法院中佔 4 比 3 多數的自由派法官和前總統 Barack Obama。 今年一位自由派法官的退休,使得法院的多數控制權受到威脅。 馬斯克的 PAC 週五表示,它已向來自 Green Bay 的機械工程師 Scott Ainsworth 頒發了 100 萬美元,以表彰他簽署了抗議「激進」法官的請願書。 在 X 上發布的一段影片中,Ainsworth 鼓勵人們簽署請願書,並「出去並儘早投票給 Brad Schimel」。 Ainsworth 在影片中說:「如果 MAGA 運動中的每個人都出現並投票給 Brad Schimel,我們將獲勝。」 競選財務記錄顯示,Ainsworth 今年向 Schimel 的競選活動捐贈了 350 美元。 自一月以來,他還在 Facebook 上發布了數十篇支持 Schimel 的文章,包括來自競選活動、當地組織對 Schimel 的認可和來自川普敦促威斯康星州人投票給 Schimel 的 X 貼文的照片。 馬斯克政治行動委員會的發言人 Andrew Romeo 拒絕透露 Ainsworth 是否是將在週日收到 100 萬美元的兩人之一。 馬斯克承諾向任何簽署請願書或將其轉發給簽署請願書的威斯康星州註冊選民提供 100 美元。 這引發了關於該請願書是否違反威斯康星州法律的問題,該法律規定,為了誘使選民投票或不投票而提供、給予、借出或承諾借出或給予任何有價值的東西是一種重罪。 對馬斯克付款的任何法律挑戰最終都可能提交給威斯康星州最高法院。 一個由政府監督團體和前任官員組成的兩黨聯盟,以及一家自由派麥迪遜律師事務所,要求威斯康星州檢察長和密爾沃基縣地方檢察官調查這筆 100 萬美元的付款和簽署請願書提供 100 美元的行為。 該小組在週四晚上發送的信中表示,這些付款似乎違反了州法律禁止選舉賄賂的規定。 檢察長 Josh Kaul 在一份聲明中表示,他知道馬斯克關於頒發這筆錢的帖子。 Kaul 說:「根據我們對適用的威斯康星州法律的理解,我們打算今天採取法律行動,尋求法院命令以阻止這種情況發生。」 WISN-TV 在週四詢問了 Schimel,一位前檢察長關於該請願書的問題。 Schimel 說:「坦白說,我在想,『我應該簽署那份請願書嗎?我反對激進的法官,但我認為我不應該這樣做。』」 當被問及 100 萬美元的獎金時,Schimel 說:「我不知道獲得它的標準是什麼。」 Crawford 的競選發言人 Derrick Honeyman 稱馬斯克宣布訪問威斯康星州是「最後一刻的絕望之舉」。 他說:「威斯康星州人不希望像馬斯克這樣的億萬富翁告訴他們該投票給誰,並且在週二,選民應該拒絕馬斯克的走狗 Brad Schimel。」 在去年的白宮選舉之前,馬斯克的政治行動委員會使用了幾乎相同的策略,即向威斯康星州和其他六個搖擺州的選民每天支付 100 萬美元,以換取他們簽署支持第一和第二修正案的請願書。 賓夕法尼亞州的一位法官表示,檢察官未能證明該努力是非法彩票,並允許其持續到選舉日。 馬斯克和他資助的團體已經花費了超過 2000 萬美元,以努力選舉 Schimel,而億萬富翁 George Soros 已經捐贈了 200 萬美元以支持 Crawford,而民主黨籍伊利諾州州長 JB Pritzker 已經捐贈了 150 萬美元。 這次選舉正值威斯康星州最高法院預計將就墮胎權、國會選區重劃、工會權力和可能影響 2026 年中期選舉和 2028 年總統選舉的投票規則作出裁決之際。 美聯社記者 Christine Fernando 在芝加哥為本報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

電力需求的成長不僅僅來自於AI

(SeaPRwire) -   在接下來的幾年裡,人工智慧將在多大程度上推動電力需求?這是最近能源和氣候對話的核心問題。許多分析師警告說,隨著消費者和企業發現該技術的各種應用,人工智慧驅動的電力使用預計將在未來五年內增加。但其他人則敦促謹慎:並非所有規劃中的數據中心最終都會建成,而且人工智慧可能會變得比現在更有效率。 這是一場至關重要的辯論——但完整的圖景甚至更加複雜。即使人工智慧消耗的能源比時代精神所暗示的要少,但一系列廣泛的電力需求驅動因素也潛伏在不遠處。 國際能源署 (IEA) 本週早些時候發布的一份報告給人一種整體印象:由於包括數據中心在內的一系列原因,全球電力需求去年增長了 4.3%,還有從建築供暖到烹飪的各種電氣化,以及由於創紀錄的高溫而增加的空調使用等等。“我們看到一個非常明顯的趨勢:電力增長,”IEA 的執行董事 Fatih Birol 說。 擴大圍繞未來電力需求的對話範圍,可以幫助我們避免只關注單一技術(無論它可能具有多大的變革性),並避免忽視將塑造我們能源未來的各種因素之間複雜的相互作用——以及由此產生的挑戰和機遇。 要了解電力需求增長的性質,將其按地理位置劃分會有所幫助。沒有比在新興市場和發展中國家開始更好的地方了。根據 IEA 的數據,中國的電力需求增長了 7%,其他新興和發展中國家的電力需求增長了 4% 以上;與此同時,歐盟的電力消耗增長了約 1.5%。 部分增長是經濟擴張的簡單產物。更多的財富意味著更多的電力使用。但相當一部分的需求增長來自高溫——特別是印度和中國的熱浪——這促使消費者和企業啟動空調。 根據政府數據,去年美國的電力使用量也增長了約 2%。毫不奇怪,這種增長的最重要來源是新的數據中心,但其他因素也起了作用。拜登政府執政期間頒布的聯邦計劃,例如《降低通貨膨脹法案》,有助於提高該國的先進製造業足跡。這意味著一波新的設施在以前無人居住的土地上或經過改造的空置設施中消耗電力。此外,今天的製造工廠比一代人以前更依賴電力,當時它們可能擁有來自化石燃料的現場電力。 然後是電動車。標題會讓您相信,電動車現在在美國市場面臨著難以克服的挑戰,因為人們購買的數量不如預期。這可能是真的,但 IEA 報告稱,美國的銷量實際上繼續以高於 10% 的速度增長。在未來幾年,電動車普及率的提高不可避免地意味著更大的電力需求。 從這個故事中可以得出一些教訓。首先,如果您押注人工智慧效率的突破來拯救世界免於電力危機,那麼您就錯過了更大的圖景。是的,我們知道一系列發展,例如更節能的語言模型,可以減少人工智慧未來的電力需求,但這並不能解決所有其他需求來源。 這個故事中也出現了一些積極的因素。最明顯的是,IEA 表示,去年全球新增電力發電量的 80% 來自再生能源或核能。這種動態意味著排放量的增長速度慢於經濟。 “如果我們想找到一線希望,我們會看到經濟增長與排放增長之間存在持續的脫鉤,”Birol 說。 在需要不僅要減緩排放,而且實際上要減少排放,以避免氣候變遷的一些最壞影響之際,這只是一種小小的安慰。但我看到了可能從這場迫在眉睫的電力危機中出現的另一個機會:我們可能被迫最終面對我們可以使用的所有解決方案。是的,電力公司正在積極嘗試建造天然氣設施來滿足需求。但他們也在建造太陽能發電和電池儲能設施。而且由於兩者都不夠,公司重新發現了核電的價值。在這種情況下,智慧電網和需求響應等減少需求的技術已經變得越來越重要,公司有動力找到更節能的方式來運營其業務。這種重要性只會增加。 要將此故事發送到您的收件匣,請訂閱 TIME CO2 Leadership Report 電子報。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

人工智慧不適用於約會應用程式 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   在過去幾年中,人工智慧已逐漸被引入我們的生活,在很大程度上並未徵得太多同意。我們手機或電腦上的系統更新可能包括兩句簡訊的摘要,而預測性文字正在預測我現在寫的內容。我們可以獲得建議,或詢問聊天機器人與室友開始艱難對話的最佳方式,或撰寫我們害怕發送的那封電子郵件。 我們也看到人工智慧成為約會應用程式公司的重點。現在使用約會應用程式的人都知道,尤其是在讓這個過程感覺不像是遊戲並保持約會者安全方面。但目前部署的人工智慧功能是否真的能從長遠來看幫助約會者,目前尚不清楚。 隨著挫折感的增加和使用者數量的下降,約會應用程式公司似乎正在押注人工智慧,以此讓用戶更快更容易地從他們的服務中獲得更多。值得注意的是, Bumble 和 Grindr 最近推出了人工智慧功能來吸引和留住用戶。Bumble 的 CEO Lidiane Jones 向投資者表示,她希望人工智慧能夠「減少用戶在設定個人資料時存在的摩擦」。同樣,Grindr 聲稱透過將人工智慧納入其許多最新功能中,例如精選配對和識別全球熱點或「同志社區」,來為其使用者提供價值。藉由 Bumble 的「Concierge」和 Grindr 的「Wingman」服務,約會者有機會使用人工智慧來幫助他們完成約會之旅,包括選擇照片、建立個人資料、配對,甚至發送訊息。Bumble 也在努力透過識別假帳號、詐騙帳號和垃圾郵件帳號來提高安全性。 即使這些公司在人工智慧專案上投入了大量資金,我們距離應用程式變得令人愉快還很遠。他們專注於他們自己創造的約會流程的細枝末節,而不是給予使用者一種在品質上不同的體驗——一種感覺安全、肯定和更人道的體驗。根據一項調查,從嬰兒潮世代到 Z 世代的大多數人都感到約會應用程式令人厭倦。在使約會更安全方面,Match Group 擁有 Tinder、Hinge、Match 和 OKCupid(以及許多其他公司),有潛力進行全公司範圍的協調努力,以識別、禁止和報告其應用程式上的施虐者,但這似乎不是優先事項。The Markup 的一項調查顯示,科羅拉多州的一名用戶在 2020 年因強姦而被舉報,但他在 Hinge 上停留了三年,並繼續使用該平台給至少 15 人下藥並強姦。(2024 年 10 月,丹佛的一名法官判處該男子 158 年至終身監禁。) 所有這些人工智慧的介入也不會自動解決根本問題。相反,它們有可能讓約會者感到更加脫節,而年輕的約會者最容易受到影響。研究表明,年輕人更難以面對面會面以及處理被拒絕的尷尬。很難想像在他們和這些經驗之間放置一個機器人會給他們有價值的練習,並幫助他們建立韌性。 我的客戶不喜歡約會應用程式的很大一部分原因,就是他們與配對對象的疏離感。他們可能會覺得一段有希望的對話開始或約會的潛力在幾秒鐘內就消失了,而且沒有任何解釋。鬼影、被放鴿子以及人們對自己正在尋找的東西不誠實也是他們最關心的問題。他們抱怨不得不為聲稱能為他們提供更好配對的功能付費,結果卻在他們的動態中看到同樣的人,然後選擇付費方案。他們不斷告訴我,繼續把自己放在那裡有多麼困難,卻沒有得到任何回報——甚至沒有好的玩笑。 機器人可以幫助約會者撰寫個人資料或對話。但是,如果另一端的人很少採取行動來推進對話,那麼從中獲得的實質性收穫是什麼?或者,如果在使用 Bumble 的 Concierge 服務的情況下,兩個機器人在聊天,而每個人都在忙自己的事情,那麼約會者如何知道彼此之間是否存在真正的聯繫,是基於他們每個人的真實身份? 很難想像未來的世代會回頭感嘆他們希望自己可以「老派約會」,並且指的是在人工智慧的協助下進行約會。隨著越來越多的人完全放棄這些應用程式,我認為我們都準備好迎接約會應用程式領域的根本性變革:一種放棄網路角色,而是使用科技來創造約會者因共同興趣而見面的機會。使用人工智慧讓人們線下見面似乎是一個激進的想法,但這是現在許多約會者會欣賞的想法。 約會的很大一部分涉及允許事情與另一個人一起展開,了解他們的怪癖,並讓他們了解我們的怪癖。這是一種獨特的人類體驗,涉及風險,而且並不完美。我們已經允許約會應用程式強加他們對約會應該是什麼樣的看法已經有一段時間了,約會者一次又一次地體驗到這些干預是如何使我們的約會生活變得複雜,而不是簡化它們。解決方案不是在我們之間添加更多科技,而是使用它將我們在現實世界中聯繫起來。 有機會讓約會變得更好。真正的改變將發生在約會應用程式回歸到促進有意義的對話、聯繫和關係,同時確保積極移除不良行為者並迅速且永久地處理施虐者。如果人工智慧可以協助完成所有這些,我完全贊成。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

The manufacturing of these orders has been booked up to 2027. During the Reporting Period, the offshore engineering business of the Group recorded a revenue of RMB 16.556 billion (same period in 2023: RMB 10.452 billion), representing a year-on-year increase of 58.41%, and a net gain of RMB 224 million (same period in 2023: net loss of RMB 31 million).In the offshore engineering asset operation, the slow recovery of the global macro-economy and the volatility of crude oil prices continued to affect the global offshore drilling market. With intensifying market competition, both utilisation rate and rates of offshore drilling faced pressure market in the second half of the year, while oil companies re-examined new energy transformation, adjusted development strategies, slowed down the pace of transformation, and re-focused on oil and gas production. During the Reporting Period, the offshore engineering asset operation and management business of CIMC continued to leverage on its existing project experience and business capabilities, further consolidated its cooperative relationship with customers at home and abroad, and capitalised on its excellent offshore engineering platform operation and management capabilities to improve asset rental rates, successfully signing new lease contracts for 2 platforms. In 2024, the offshore engineering asset pool platform actively capitalized on asset revitalization opportunities, achieving a year-on-year increase in leasing and operational income and a notable reduction in losses.In the energy, chemical, and liquid food equipment business, the Group has overcome cyclical misalignment and fluctuations, supporting the global demand for energy transition.
