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 prot…

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

Former NSA chief joins Amazon's Board of Directors. https://www.theverge.com/2020/9/9/21429635/amazon-keith-alex...

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 increa…

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.

What do you mean wrong? You just supported what I said, both companies decided to leave by themselves, one by not cooperating with authorities after the 9/11 of China, and the othe…

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 …

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…

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 …

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…

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…

Way undervalued. One chart to explain why the US is doing this: https://imgur.com/a/PnmijVz

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 app…

Is anyone going to cry forced tech transfer?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23125450 This comment explains it very well. Biological differences used to explain keeping people in lower status is a traditional idea and lo…

Just buy Zoom dude.

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 upsc…

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-...
