� � � � � � You Might Like � � � � � � � � � A Platform Storing TikTok Corporate Secrets Was Inspected By The Chinese Government - Forbes    TikTok's internal workplace collaboration platform, which hosts some of the company's most sensitive information, was inspected by the Chinese government ahead of the Chinese Communist Party's 20th National Congress, Forbes has learned. Conducted in October of 2022, the review covered a broad swath of internal information related to Feishu, TikTok's main workplace tool, including “product network security, data security, personal information, and daily operations," according to a document reviewed by Forbes. Feishu is a ByteDance product comparable to Google Docs and Microsoft Office that hosts TikTok employees’ documents, chats, meetings, calendars, and other business records. Over the past year, Forbes has reviewed hundreds of internal TikTok materials stored in Feishu, including attorney-client privileged information, draft content policies, and information related to TikTok’s United States Data Security entity, which is supposed to cordon off American user data.

Fire engines, cop cars, unmuffled Harley-Davidson motorcycles, not to mention unhappy couples arguing and the occasional lost soul screaming at ghosts—none of that noise bothers me. On my first night in the country, however, I’m like Joe Pesci in “My Cousin Vinny,” trying to sleep in rural Alabama: “What the fuck is that?” Unlike vision, smell, and taste, all of which dim when consciousness shuts down for the night, hearing is a 24/7 operation. For early humans, who were trying to rest outdoors with predators around, this trait was presumably a lifesaver. For people trying to sleep in the city that never does, though, all-night listening is mostly a liability. The brain must disregard a lot of ordinary metropolitan white noise, while remaining alert to unusual sounds that might be of vital importance. The waking brain performs a similar filtering function in the urban soundscape, ignoring as many of the meaningless noises as possible. Continued here Don't like ads?

While Americans are questioning if there are any places left they aren't expected to tip at, those in other countries are watching with confusion. The U.K. is among them — tipping is much less common there, and often not even up to the customers.
