Nah I'll take the cheaper Chinese alternative, this is exploitation.

It was an executive purposefully brought in for legal compliance with that country's requirements. That he was fired is a huge signal in how seriously aggressive zoom is about protecting data that they would even be willing to go up ag

What an overwrought headline, the employee in question has already been fired.

If you read the article, it says the numerator grew faster than the denominator, and analysts think progress is good and not meeting the target this year is not a problem.

If you actually read the article we already outspend them on R&D. We spent 2.8% of GDP vs their 2.2% of GDP. They failed to meet their target of 2.5% of GDP despite steadily increasing.

Luckily we don't live in a cyberpunk world where corporations are above the state. TikTok is obedient to the state and is still getting banned, the US has no excuses.

Oh please like we need a formal ban to shut things down, it's like America not banning tiktok right? There were hearings and calls by US politicians to stop Dragonfly, after which it was stopped.

by _6fmb 6y ago
No they didn't, both Facebook and Google decided to quit themselves. Remember Dragonfly? Google just tried to get back into China THIS YEAR and was blocked by the US government. It's the US that's closing access to China not

The follow mode is secondary as others said. But aside from that it figures out what stuff you like by tracking things like time spent on videos and dozens of other micro creative analytics that I'm sure would piss off privacy advocate

Yeah, it's one of the ones that's doing well and don't seem to suffer much from people getting bored and leaving for fresher networks.

Disingenuous silliness to compare TikTok to a "shitty app". I googled and found this page (not sure how correct it is). https://wallaroomedia.com/blog/social-media/tiktok-statistic... USA 20 Million MAU

As said in some other comments, TikTok does not use a "follow" model, new content is algorithmically recommended to you. Therefore there is no problem with the content creators you're following burning out or your follow list

There are a lot of valid usecases for clipboard saving, I don't have an iOS app but I run CopyClip which would be kinda ruined by this "feature".

Hopefully we can turn this off, this is going to destroy usability be very annoying.

Wait, but China is also doing the same. Have you watched any of the press conferences in China? They were frank and forthcoming with information, there were many reddit threads applauding it until everything got politicized around March.

Just buy Zoom dude.

by _6fmb 6y ago
Hmm only in the context of HN. I don't think the general public reads it in a blaming Zoom way.

It is a terrible limitation of Latin characters that it's hard to read vertically. However the hard coded as images labels is inexcusable. Zooming in causes the images to look upscaled and terrible.

Every time I read about a Zoom "screwup" I see a feature that's UX centric. It's pretty cool tbh.

Zoom is sufficiently end-to-end encrypted for me. https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/04/01/facts-around-zoom-...

I assume if they do it they'll just be blase about metadata and only encrypt content.

Does anyone know how they're handling the E2E situation? Are they removing it from their marketing or trying to actually implement it?

Yes, I really like the Thucydides trap framework, but this perspective must be seen from the PoV of the current hegemon. None of the Axis powers wanted to fight the US or even Britain, but the Atlanticist hegemon saw the development of Eura

Factually the virus has not accidentally missed Japan. Japan has a substantial number of cases, on par with countries that are entering danger zones, just seems like there is no exponential spreading.

WHO has commended China for their transparency... your statement is the opposite of reality.
