"We all decided that's not ok". And we also all decided it's ok to start doing something else in a Zoom meeting, because nobody will notice anyway?

They can easily provide a feature where the employee could flip a switch and temporarily (semi?) hide herself, signaling that she is currently occupied with something else. Yes, in a Zoom setting, she doesn't have to broadcast that. But that's just cheating.

This top comment is odd, in the sense that the article does not talk about TikTok's privacy and/or geopolitics debacles at all, even though the title "poison pill" might lead some users who didn't read the article to think it refers to TikTok's violation of privacy, or it being created and controlled by an Internet giant based in Communist China, or something along these lines.

The "poison pill" in the title actually refers to TikTok's recommendation model that disregards (or at least de-weights) social graph, versus Facebook/Instagram's approach.

Monty Hall Problem 4 years ago

To me the key to understand the problem is paying attention to this detail: Monty knows where the car was so he wasn't just randomly opening A door. He always opened a door that didn't have a car behind it. It's this non-randomness that's giving you more information about the remaining door.

"Caught another mistake: Section 3.2: First, an observation: the column sums of Q(G) are all zero is wrong. Contradicts their definition of Q(G)." True, but it's pretty obvious he was referring to a directed graph G where matrix Q(G) is defined as Qij = 1 if vertex vi has an outgoing edge ej; -1 if vertex vi has an incoming edge ej; 0 otherwise.

Right? This is not the first time I've read it on the English media that Peng Shuai was accusing Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault either. I seriously wonder what is going on here. Don't get me wrong. I do think Peng Shuai cannot speak freely and something sketchy is going on. But putting words in her mouth is a rather strange way of trying to help her.

On the other hand, if she didn't make that specific accusation, then what she just said made sense. She didn't retract anything. She stands behind what she said in that Weibo post, just not the "sexual assault" part interpreted by the western media.

I read her Weibo post the same day it came out and I didn't get the impression that she was accusing Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. I thought she was saying that they had an affair (if you can call it that. in the post she said one time while they were having sex, Zhang Gaoli asked his WIFE to guard the door...) on and off for years and now Zhang would no longer respond to her, basically abandoned her.

So did he find a cofounder on HN? I actually met a cofounder of Coinbase on an airplane and he emailed me on the spot a cup of coffee in BTC. Let's just say it has turned into dozens and dozens of cups of coffee by now.

It's not exactly a case of downloading an India version when you arrive there. In order to do so first you have to register an India App Store account. And in order to do that, you might need an India cell phone number and credit card.
