Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Pabrik pemasok Apple dan Samsung di Vietnam membuat keputusan ekstrim untuk tetap menjaga industri tetap berjalan dan meminimalisir penularan Covid-19. Mereka meminta ribuan pekerjaan tidur di pabrik.

Menurut laporan Bloomberg News, ini terjadi di provinsi utara Bac Ninh dan Bac Giang yang merupakan manufaktur utama dari Samsung serta pemasok terkemuka Apple. Otoritas menyebutkan 150 ribu tinggal di kawasan pabrik untuk mengurangsi resiko infeksi.

Berdasarkan laporan, sekitar 400 ribu vaksin telah diberikan kepada karyawan pemasok global lain termasuk Samsung.

Vietnam sempat berhasil membatasi infeksi di awal pandemi, namun akhirnya meningkat pada April lalu. Akhirnya memaksa kawasan industri utara perakit utama produk AirPods yaitu Foxconn Technology Group dan Luxshare Precision Industry Co ditutup.

Otoritas setempat dan pabrik tersebut termasuk Luzhare juga telah bekerja sama. Meski para pabrik memaksa karyawan untuk menginap, tapi karyawan tetap harus dites setiap minggunya.

“Secara signifikan membantu penyebaran virus dan memungkinkan pabrik melanjutkan operasi dengan cepat ,” kata Nguyen Dai Luong, ketua Dewan Rakyat distrik Viet Yen.

Foxconn menyanggupi bekerja sama dengan pemerintah setempat dan mematuhi seluruh persyaratan kesehatan. Sementara Luxshare tidak menanggapi permintaan pernyataan.

New cryptocurrency Chia has plummeted in fee in view that its debut

The much-anticipated Chia cryptocurrency (XCH), billed as an eco-friendly choice to Bitcoin, has suffered a total failure in cost for the reason that launch on Monday.

As per CoinMarketCap data, XCH debuted at $1,600 per unit and climbed temporarily to a height above $1,800, however rapidly shed extra than 1/2 of its price in the hours that followed.

At the time of writing, the new forex is hovering at a fee of $690 per coin, down 61% on its most price, suggesting “farmers” smelled an probability to money in on altcoin frenzy.

Chia cryptocurrency
The Chia community used to be designed by means of Bram Cohen, founder of BitTorrent, as an antidote to the growing centralization of the cryptocurrency mining industry, in which people have been squeezed out through giant mining syndicates.

The foreign money is additionally designed to tackle one of the primary criticisms of Bitcoin, which has to do with the environmental toll of mining. What units Chia aside from different important cryptocurrencies in this regard is the mechanism used to invulnerable the community and incentivize participation.

Bitcoin, for example, makes use of a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism, which pits miners in opposition to one any other and is extraordinarily energy-intensive. A find out from the University of Cambridge suggests Bitcoin makes use of up greater power on an annual groundwork than u . s . of Sweden.

The architects of the Chia community opted for a distinctive gadget entirely, known as proof of space, which depends on storage capability alternatively of computing power. Here, so-called farmers (note the deliberate distinction in terminology) set apart storage house to keep cryptographic numbers, referred to as plots.

“When the blockchain declares a venture for the subsequent block, farmers can scan their plots to see if they have the hash that is closest to the challenge. A farmer’s chance of prevailing a block is the share of the whole area that a farmer has in contrast to the whole network,” the internet site explains.

While this machine does away with the want for energy-intensive mining, different problems have emerged. In the runup to launch, for example, Chia hype led to shortages of high-capacity storage in a range of regions, pushing fees thru the roof. This similarly aggravated current aspect shortages, delivered about by way of the world chip scarcity and compounded by means of an extend in enthusiasm for typical mining.

However, if Chia is unable to get better from its early slide, the storage scarcity is possibly not likely to ultimate for long.

Indonesia’s technology market is at an inflection point and could grow exponentially to reach between $200 billion and $300 billion in the next two to three years, said John Riady, director of Lippo Group — one of the country’s largest conglomerates.

“Indonesia is the most exciting digital and technology market in Asia and arguably the world,” Riady told CNBC’s “Street Signs Asia” on Thursday.

“When our group first invested in technology in 2012, the size of the entire technology market in Indonesia was approximately $100 million. That same asset class today is about $40 billion,” he added.

Lippo Group is founded by Riady’s grandfather. The conglomerate has businesses in a wide array of sectors including real estate, retail, health care and telecommunications. Riady has been spearheading the group’s venture into tech and is also the CEO of the real estate developer arm, Lippo Karawaci.

Riady told CNBC the group has made more than 30 investments in Indonesia’s tech space, including OVO, a Jakarta-based digital payments platform. He said Indonesia is close to an inflection point of technology similar to that which China saw in the early 2000s, when tech adoption rose rapidly.

Indonesia is the second-largest economy in Southeast Asia and the world’s fourth-most populous country with more than 275 million people. The country is home to several so-called unicorn start-ups — or private companies valued at $1 billion and above — including e-commerce firm Bukalapak and OVO, according to CB Insights.

Investors have said the country’s growing internet users and expanding middle class are conditions ripe for a digital boom. But Indonesia is a tricky market to navigate, partly because the population is spread across more than 10,000 islands — many with its own culture and language.

Still, the growth potential of Indonesia’s tech scene has paved the way for internet start-ups that have captured the attention of international investors.

Last week, two of the country’s leading tech companies, ride-hailing and payments firm Gojek and e-commerce firm Tokopedia, announced a merger to form an entity called GoTo Group.

The GoTo Group has prominent backers who previously invested in Gojek or Tokopedia. They include Chinese tech giants Alibaba and Tencent, as well as Sequoia Capital India and Singapore state investor Temasek.
