今天带大家扒一扒Contrary发布的《2026年科技趋势报告》这本352页的"未来预言书"。一句话总结：2026年，科技不再只是手机里的APP，而是从 天上到地下，从身体到情感，全方位重塑我们的生活，带来巨大的机遇和同样巨大的拉扯。 报告内容量巨大，我把它掰开揉碎，分成四大块，咱们用大白话唠明白。 读完整份报告，最大的感受是：未来已来，只是分布不均，而且充满悖论。 一方面，技术以一种近乎野蛮的方式生长。 AI重塑了我们的工作方式（从写代码到看病），自动驾驶和低空经济重塑了我们的物理空间（从陆地到 天空），生物技术甚至开始重塑我们的身体（从减肥到基因编辑）。这背后是中美两大巨头的激烈博弈，从芯片、能源到月球资源，每一个赛道都 关乎未来几十年的国运。 另一方面，技术进步与人类的精神需求产生了巨大的错位。 我们享受着屏幕带来的便利和娱乐，却陷入了更深层次的孤独和不信任。当现实中的社 交变得"昂贵"和困难时，我们甚至开始转向AI寻求情感慰藉。这给我们带来一个深刻的启示：未来最稀缺的资源，可能不再是算力、能源或者稀 土，而是真实的"人际关系"和"信任"。 对于普通人来说，这既是挑战也是机会。挑战在于，我们需要不断学习 ...

To find the best insurance for rideshare drivers, Yahoo Finance analyzed 20 major insurers across rideshare availability, full coverage rates, discounts, coverage options, and protective add-ons like accident for ...

特朗普总统政府于周四采取行动，拟废除一项长期遭商界反对的劳工规则。该规则加大了企业将劳动者 归类为独立承包商而非正式雇员的难度，而正式雇员会给企业带来更高成本。 美国劳工部发布提案，拟撤销 2024 年出台的这项规则，称其存在法律缺陷，且剥夺了许多劳动者作为 独立承包商所享有的灵活性。 该规则要求，若劳动者在经济上 "依赖" 某公司谋生，依据联邦工资法，公司必须将其视为正式雇员。 特朗普去年上任后，劳工部已暂停执行该规则。此次提案将以商界支持的新标准取而代之 —— 新标准 聚焦于企业对劳动者的实际管控程度。 货运、零售等多行业将受益 废除该规则将惠及多个行业的企业，包括货运、医疗、零售，以及优步（Uber）、英斯达卡特 （Instacart）等依赖大量独立承包商的网约车与外卖平台。这些平台此前已在数十起诉讼中被指控为节 省成本而错误归类劳动者身份。 多项调查显示，正式雇员的用工成本比独立承包商高出约 30%，因为前者享有最低工资、加班费、失 业保险、费用报销及其他承包商无法获得的劳动保护。 过去十年，劳动者身份归类一直是最具争议的就业议题之一。此前国会共和党人试图阻止该规则的努力 受阻后，行业协会便大力游说， ...
