美国一州或将通过法案,两种食品“不建议人类食用”
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-09 13:04
Core Viewpoint - A new Texas bill will impose strict regulations on large food manufacturers, requiring them to label products with warnings about ingredients deemed unsafe by other countries, such as bleached flour and synthetic food colorings [1][2]. Group 1: Legislative Details - The Senate Bill No. 25 mandates that starting in 2027, food manufacturers selling products in Texas must clearly label warnings indicating the presence of ingredients banned or warned against by other countries [1]. - The bill affects major food companies like General Mills and PepsiCo, which use ingredients such as bleached flour and synthetic colorings in their products [1]. - The legislation also includes requirements for physical education and nutrition education in schools [1]. Group 2: Support and Opposition - The bill has the support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, who advocates for banning certain additives and colorings due to their potential health risks [2]. - A coalition of food manufacturers and distributors has opposed the bill, arguing that the labeling requirements are overly broad and could disrupt local economies and access to food [3][4]. - The Consumer Brands Association has expressed concerns that the bill's labeling requirements could create legal risks for brands and confuse consumers [4]. Group 3: Industry Response and Historical Context - Historical responses from food manufacturers to similar legislation have included nationwide label updates rather than state-specific changes, as seen after Vermont's GMO labeling law [5]. - The bill's requirement to reference foreign food standards introduces uncertainty for manufacturers, highlighting differences in food safety standards between the U.S. and other regions [5][6]. - The shift in Republican support for food labeling marks a significant change in the party's long-standing opposition to food regulation, aligning health decisions with personal rights [7].
常压油箱争议,比亚迪绕不过去的坎?
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-09 13:04
此前在5月下旬,长城汽车董事长魏建军公开表示,现在汽车产业里边的"恒大"已经存在了,只不过没 爆而已。该言论引发舆论猜测,部分声音将矛头指向比亚迪,李云飞在5月30日发文对该猜测进行逐条 反驳,指出比亚迪负债中88%为无息负债(应付账款、合同负债等),有息负债仅占4.9%(约286亿 元),远低于吉利(860亿元)等同行,且现金流健康(2024年经营性现金流净额1334亿元),与恒 大"高杠杆泡沫"有本质区别。 李云飞最新的回应在车圈内外引发高度关注和讨论,但或许迫于舆论压力,他在8日晚间又删除了这条 本来发在个人微博号的长文。 围绕比亚迪的质疑,显然不会因为这条微博的删除而就此消散。就常压油箱而言,行业人士指出,比亚 迪的方案实为"低成本绕道",因为高压油箱能彻底解决燃油蒸汽污染,而比亚迪的发动机强制启动虽满 足排放标准,却牺牲用户体验(如纯电模式下无故启动发动机)。但李云飞在公开反击的同时指出浙江 某头部车企(暗指吉利)同期多款PHEV(插电式混合动力车型)同样采用常压油箱,也将单一企业的 争议升级为行业潜规则的曝光。 细究常压与高压油箱的问题,表面看是技术路线之争,实则是成本控制与法规合规的极限博弈。鉴 ...
美国民众对电动汽车的兴趣正逐渐消退
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-09 13:04
电动汽车对买家的吸引力已大不如前。图片来源:Getty Images 如今消费者面临的电动汽车选择比以往任何时候都要多,但这类燃油替代型轿车与卡车的市场需求却跌 至2019年以来的最低水平。 美国汽车协会最新发布的一份报告表明,消费者购买电动汽车的意愿正持续走低,仅有19%的受访者称 自己"可能"或"极有可能"把电动汽车选为下一辆座驾。与此同时,坚决抵制购买电动汽车的人数呈现上 升态势,63%的受访者表示"不太可能"或"完全不可能"购置电动汽车,该比例创下2022年以来的峰值。 尽管消费者依旧如往常那般期望通过购买电动车节省燃油费用(74%的受访者表示这是购买电动车的主 要动因),且59%的人明确提及环保因素,但美国汽车协会指出,高昂的电池维修成本(62%)以及购 车价格(59%)是阻碍消费者转向电动汽车的关键因素。 美国汽车协会的报告中未提及,但几乎可以确定的影响因素是,过去一年针对全球最大电动车品牌之一 ——特斯拉的抵制风潮,尤其是针对其首席执行官埃隆·马斯克。 查看《如何看待泡泡玛特创始人成河南新首富?》的精彩观点 推荐阅读 FORTUNE FORTUNE FO REUNE FORTUNE 申报入口|2 ...
英伟达业绩持续向好,但也有一大利空
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-08 13:53
Core Viewpoint - Nvidia's recent quarterly earnings report revealed strong financial performance but also included a significant negative impact due to a $4.5 billion asset impairment related to undelivered chips intended for Chinese customers, following new export restrictions imposed by the U.S. government [1][4]. Group 1: Financial Performance - Nvidia reported a first-quarter revenue of $44.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 69%, with a net profit of $18.8 billion, maintaining a healthy net profit margin of 42.6% [5]. - The company initially anticipated a $5.5 billion write-down on chip inventory but managed to recover about $1 billion through material reuse, reducing the actual write-down to $4.5 billion [4]. Group 2: Impact of Export Restrictions - The new export regulations, particularly those from the Trump administration, have significantly impacted Nvidia's revenue, with expected losses of $2.5 billion in the first quarter and projected losses of $8 billion in the second quarter [4]. - Nvidia's H20 chips, designed specifically for the Chinese market, may not be suitable for other regions without substantial re-engineering, leading to potential additional costs for the company [1][2]. Group 3: Market Strategy and Perception - Selling the H20 chips at a discount could harm Nvidia's reputation as a top-tier innovator, especially with the launch of the new Blackwell GPU series, which supports advanced AI technologies [2][3]. - Analysts suggest that the H20 chips were developed primarily for the Chinese market, and if sold at a significant discount in the U.S., it could erode sales of higher-quality products [3]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Despite the impairment, Nvidia's business is expected to remain robust, with analysts indicating that the tax benefits from the write-down could outweigh the financial losses from selling the chips at a discount [5]. - There is speculation about the potential for Nvidia to find a way to sell the H20 chips to Chinese customers in the future, depending on the evolving political landscape [6].

Group 3: AI Arms Race - Bengio criticizes the ongoing AI arms race in the tech industry, stating that it encourages labs to focus on enhancing AI capabilities without sufficient attention to safety research and funding [5]. - He advocates for strong regulation and international cooperation to address the societal and existential risks posed by advanced AI systems [5].
更高的薪酬激励有可能适得其反
财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-06 13:03
Safelite的成功很快成为经济学的教科书典范,说明了绩效工资如何激励现有员工并且吸引更优秀的人 才,从而提高生产力。 受到此例启发,许多公司开始相信,持续增加奖金、佣金或股票期权等激励措施,自然会吸引最优秀的 人才,并进一步提高生产力。事实上,许多注重增长的公司,包括谷歌和Netflix等科技巨头,都采用了 越来越慷慨的激励结构,希望能够吸引和留住顶尖人才,并保持利润增长。 然而,尽管这种方法广受欢迎,却存在一个严重的盲点。它假设不断提高的激励措施总是可以得到更好 的员工,也就是吸引更多的高技能和高生产力的人才。但乔治亚迪斯和他的迈阿密大学同事恩里克·卡 斯特罗-皮雷斯所做的研究,却对这一假设提出了质疑。 他们的研究结果表明,更高的激励措施并不会自动保证招聘到更优秀的人才,在某些情况下,甚至可能 适得其反。 更高的激励措施所隐藏的弊端 20世纪90年代中期,挡风玻璃修理公司Safelite采取了一项大胆的举措,以绩效工资来取代小时工资。 也就是员工安装的挡风玻璃越多,收入就越高。其结果令人震惊。 一年之内,生产率飙升了大约44%。 "这是一个巨大的增长。"凯洛格管理学院的战略学副教授、绩效型激励专家乔治· ...

财富FORTUNE· 2025-06-06 13:03
图片来源:Getty Images 寻找管理压力和焦虑的方法需要耗费大量心力,这也是为什么有些人会借助补充剂获得额外支持。如果 你曾研究过各种不同的压力和焦虑管理建议,你很可能听说过"适应原"这个词。适应原是自草药、根 茎、蘑菇和植物中提取的成分,被制成营养补充剂或添加到其他食品中。 适应原补充剂的人气激增,其市场价值在2023年估计已超过100亿美元,并且预计将继续增长。常见的 适应原补充剂包括南非醉茄、红景天和人参,它们可以制成胶囊或茶饮;还有灵芝等真菌类,通常被干 燥并研磨成粉末。随着适应原日益成为主流,你甚至能买到蘑菇咖啡、气泡水和混合饮料等形式的产 品。 但这些补充剂真的有效吗?且听一位专家怎么说。 适应原有助于缓解压力和焦虑吗? 加州大学洛杉矶分校医学中心(UCLA Medical Center)高级营养师主管兼菲尔丁公共卫生学院 (Fielding School of Public Health)教授达娜·亨尼斯表示,适应原"可能帮助我们的身体管理压力,或在 承受压力后更快地恢复体内平衡(即身体的自然平衡)"。 她补充道,这些压力源可以是生理性的,如受伤或工作倦怠,也可以是心理性的,如情绪困扰。 ...
