你有没有试过，让 AI 帮你解释 ETF、看一只股票、算退休，或者判断该不该提前还房贷？ 它说得很快。 也很像那么回事。 但理财最难的，常常不是看懂一个产品。 而是看清自己的约束：收入、家庭、税务、房贷、风险承受力，还有你晚上能不能睡得着。 这一场，我们继续用「AI 双面圆桌派」的方式，聊 AI + 理财。 我们会聊几个普通人真的会遇到的问题： * AI 能帮我们省下哪些查资料、做比较、读文件的时间？ * 为什么同样收入、同样资产的两个家庭，答案可能完全不同？ * AI 给出的投资观点，普通人可以怎么验证，而不是直接相信？ * 金融平台越来越智能之后，效率、推荐和用户保护之间怎么平衡？ * 当金融骗局从群发话术变成个性化关系，我们该如何提高警觉？ 这不是一场投资课。 也不会给个股推荐。 我们更想聊的是： AI 可以帮我们更快看懂信息，但它不能替我们承担后果。 ***嘉宾介绍*** **Melinda Hu, CFP** 加拿大 CFP 注册财务规划师，拥有 20 年中加税务与财富规划经验，专注小企业与家庭的税务及退休规划。她长期关注 AI 对财务规划行业的影响，也关注在技术快速变化的时代，人们如何重新理解财富、风险与安全感。 **Alex Luo** 资深 IT 软件架构师，15 年深耕云技术、AI 人工智能与科技金融行业。金融创业 5 年，致力于中产阶级财商教育和理财服务，关注 AI 在金融行业的应用和发展。 ***About Startup4Chinese*** Started in August 2017, Startup4Chinese's mission is to INSPIRE, EMPOWER, and CONNECT entrepreneurial minds not only among Chinese but beyond.

### An Invitation For You A 6.5 Hour, clinically designed reset for high-responsibility professionals — with guided practices, meaningful dialogue, and a full multi-course meal. For executives, clinicians, educators, managers, HR leaders, and high-responsibility professionals who carry visible and invisible load — and need more than another wellness webinar. ##### **Individual Ticket: $349 + tax** https://daretoretreat.co/product/leadershipreset2026/ #### What Happens During the 6.5 Hour Leadership Reset This is not a panel you sit through and forget the next day. The experience moves intentionally between learning, embodied reset, nourishment, and integration — so participants don’t leave emotionally spun out. **The experience includes:** * **Arrival and Grounding Welcome** A guided transition from workplace pace into psychological space. * **Opening Reflection** Structured time to slow down, settle, and reconnect with internal cues. * **The Mental Beauty Framework** A clear, professional approach to sustainable self-leadership rooted in clinical practice and real workplace realities. * **Guided Nervous-System Reset Practices** Breathwork, visualization, or sensory grounding designed to reduce overload and restore emotional steadiness. * **Insight Session: The Psychology of Burnout** Exploring patterns such as over-responsibility, perfectionism, emotional labour, compassion fatigue, and the pressure to “stay strong.” * **Applied Reset Practice** A practical ritual or tool participants can repeat in daily life and at work. * **Full Multi-Course Meal** A curated dining experience woven into the reset, reinforcing slowing down, receiving, and replenishing. * **Integration Circle and Closing** Reflection and anchoring so insights land — not just intellectually, but emotionally. #### What This Experience Is Workplace demands are rising, burnout is accelerating, and leaders across Canada are carrying more emotional, cognitive, and relational responsibility than ever before. Traditional wellness initiatives — short talks, apps, and one-off perks — are no longer enough. **Dare to ‘*Re-Treat*’: The Leadership Reset Experience** is a **clinically grounded, psychologically safe, in-person experience** designed to help high-responsibility professionals **pause, regulate, and recalibrate** — without checking out of real life or pretending one night fixes systemic pressure. This is not a traditional conference or wellness workshop. It is a **structured leadership reset** that blends evidence-informed teaching, guided nervous-system practices, shared reflection, and intentional nourishment. Participants don’t just feel better for a moment. They leave **more grounded, clearer, and steadier** — with tools they can actually use.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
