the manager of a beef noodle shop was astonished after receiving a million yuan on the first day in business, as a guest accidentally overpaid. 

it is reported that the restaurant in shaoxing of zhejiang province held a recharge activity on its opening day and the chinese man was trying to buy a pre-loaded payment card for 100 yuan that came with 120 yuan of credit. 

however, he mistakenly input an extra four “zeros” after one hundred and actually paid more than 1,001,300 yuan (nearly $142,178) in total. 

“when we checked guest payments, we were stunned to find such a long number,” chen ruoxuan, owner of the restaurant said. 

“my husband and i counted it many times, and we are sure that it is impossible to make such a big mistake. ” 

chen said the guest and his three friends spent 85 yuan in total on their meal, which means that he has overpaid over 1 million yuan. 

there are 1,001,264 yuan ($142,172) left in the man’s membership account.

after realizing the mistake, the restaurant staff immediately contacted the man and gave him a refund. he had no idea that one million yuan had left his account until then. 

“he was surprised and asked, ‘how could that be possible?’” chen said. 

chen said the man didn’t notice that he had lost a million yuan at all. 

many netizens didn’t quite believe the story and doubted that it’s a hype, considering the key bit of missing information, and that payment platforms have strict limits on the amount of instant payments. 

according to the local media reports, meituan, a chinese local life service platform, said they have limits on the amount of each payment to restaurants and it is impossible to pay 1 million once. 

“i am clear about every penny i spend,” said a netizen on china’s twitter-like sina weibo. 

 

“my bank balance doesn’t allow me to make such a mistake,” said another weibo user. 

 

 

chen read the comments and thought it was impossible to pay such a huge amount of money once, as the paper news (澎湃新闻) reported on nov 1. 

after the service platform’s staff came and checked, it turns out that the seven-digit number is actually the bar code number, which means that the man didn’t pay a million yuan for the noodles. 

it might be something wrong with the cash register that causes the mistake as reported. 

normally there are strict limits on payment platforms. 

alipay user can pay with his or her account balance no more than 200,000 yuan each year. 

there are three types of alipay accounts with different payment limits. the maximum limits are 1,000 yuan lifelong for type one, 100,000 yuan per year for type two, and 200,000 per year for type three. 

if you want to pay with bank accounts, there are also limits on card payments. many bank staff say that it is not likely to pay a million yuan at one time.

a primary school in jinhua of zhejiang province was reportedly using ai headbands embedded with devices to detect students’ brain activity. local authorities have halted the products. 

accusation

the electronic headbands can detect students’ brainwaves to help them focus as introduced but they have aroused controversy and heated discussions among netizens, parents and education professionals. 

on oct 24, wall street journal reported that the products are used to monitor students and violated personal data privacy. 

it even accused parents and teachers in china of valuing education more than personal privacy without investigating. 

the company developing the products has denied it, saying the products aim to help students improve concentration and learning efficiency. 

firm’s response

the manufacturer, massachusetts-based brainco inc, a provider of cognitive training technology products, released a statement on thursday in response to growing concerns. 

they state that their headbands are aimed at helping build students’ abilities to concentrate instead of monitoring their thoughts and endeavors. 

 

yang zhangpeng, director of public relations at brainco, said the report was biased and “not consistent with the facts.” 

yang noted that the wsj reached him and cheated him by saying they would publish a report on the application and development of high technology in china’s education sector. 

controversial products

it is said that the high-tech company is a harvard university-backed startup based in boston, dedicating to developing brain machine interface technology with a focus on big data and brain science. 

the headband uses three electrodes – one on the forehead and two behind the ears – to measure electrical signals from neurons in the brain and translate them into an attention score using an algorithm. 

after using the devices for half a semester, the class moved up two places in the test results among all of the school’s fourth-grade classes, a teacher of the class was quoted by the report as saying. 

yang said the parents signed an agreement to let their children wear the product after talking to the children. and students are studying harder than ever.  

students only need to wear the headband in one class or half an hour a day, yang said. 

however, there’re no studies published in academic journals to prove the claim. 

use halted

a teacher at jinhua xiaoshun primary school in jinhua, zhejiang was quoted by the beijing news on wednesday as saying that the headband has been used for nearly a year with no obvious side effects. 

now local educational authorities have already halted the use of the headbands. 

netizens doubt the tech and comment that there’s added pressure on kids to pay attention during the class. 

students are humans, not robots

it may be counterproductive
