The 57% Drop in SaaS Valuations
I didn't understand Periscope until I saw a mini-celeb use it. People love it. It's like Snapchat in live group form for celebs. Like why people love to call into a live radio or TV show. Regardless of what happens to traditional Twitter, I think Periscope has a lot of room to grow.

However, Twitter's algo timeline makes it nearly useless to me. It was already a mess and the linear timeline was the only thing I liked. The linear timeline would have been manageable if they still allowed third party clients... but I digress. I'm sure I'll still use it anyway to announce software releases and get customer support from slacking companies.

A lot of people who commit suicide are typically on antidepressants and seeing therapists. Yet they never report this in the media. Antidepressants even carry a black box warning they can increase suicidal thinking.

Wouldn't surprise me if half the valley was on meds of some kind.

Psychiatry is mostly based on an unproven hypothesis of chemical imbalance in the brain. Of which there's no actual scientific evidence to back up this claim. In fact, studies have concluded antidepressants can cause imbalances where nonexisted before, and can cause severe life threatening withdrawals if you stop taking them suddenly.

Psychiatry is a pretty flawed practice in my opinion as well. I'm sure it helps some people, but it also does a lot of harm as well.

There is diversity and then there's "diversity". This is ultimately a Americentric political movement. You only see American demographics as targets, ignoring the vast number of immigrants and foreign students that enter the industry.

When is the last time you heard someone advocating for more linguistic or geographic diversity? If these diversity advocates truly care about these studies for something other than political gain, they would be at the front lines advocating for more H1-Bs.

This is getting downvoted, but it is in fact true. Copycat suicides are a very real phenomenon. In general, anything that heightens the mental availability of an action (how easy it is to recall) increases the probability of that action occurring. This causes news reports on suicides to increase incidence of suicide, news reports on mass shootings to increase incidence of mass shootings, and last but certainly not least controversially, violent actions in video games to be causally related to (though neither necessary, nor sufficient for) increases in violent behavior.

This is a basic fact of human neurology that many people have trouble accepting because of the illusion of free will they like to indulge in.

Agreed. I think the stigma around mental illness has a lot to do with how people react to it. Society tells us it's embarrassing and a sign of weakness and many people suffer in silence until it's too late. Fortunately this industry appears to be more open about it.
> Stop pretending you know what you're talking about.

Calm down.

> Do you know how much money is saved by not keeping those pictures?

Okay, fine. Even if the pictures aren't stored indefinitely (I'd assume they'd do batch deletions at the end of the day or something when latency isn't as important), all of the photos are encrypted with the same symmetric key which can be found in any Snapchat binary. Which means that they aren't any more private than sending unencrypted images.
For all the faults and limitations of mainstream psychiatry (which are varied and substantial), it's pretty much the only game in town with a verified track record. Arguments against mainstream psychiatry are a dime a dozen, but arguments for alternatives tend to be fluffy philosophical assertions and broad-brush accusations of misconduct rather than real-world demonstrations that something else works significantly better (with N >> 1, of course).

Hurry up and take my money!
Maybe I'm living in a bubble, but since when has SMS been a painful experience for messaging? If I'm texting whoever, whenever, I can send a snap and I have the bonus of not having to take a picture for every text I send. Plus in the days of modern texting, I use Messages from my computer which makes life even more pleasant as at work I'm able to keep in touch with friends/family without even glancing at my phone. I never have to worry if they're on a network with SMS.
Perhaps this line of thinking is why many adults of today let the kids run rampage while matters of immediate importance to them go unattended. It is often difficult for a thinking person to admit to a sense of certainty, but at the risk of seeming to exclude myself from that group, I have to say that I believe this is a sheer waste of time, and almost certainly an intellectually destructive one. It is not necessarily that the kids ought to find another form of leisure, but that the amount of time and energy dedicated to this activity is unreasonable. And unlike some forms of leisure, this one bears no fruit. In the years to come, I think there will be few able to say that much of their time devoted to SnapChat and other such platforms was well spent.

Many of the "mysterious" deaths that hit people under 50 in this field are, in fact, suicides.

Programmers don't seem to have a higher rate than anyone else, although there is a lot of burnout due to aggressive cultures. Founders have a very high suicide rate, and the worst thing about it is that it tends to be the few decent founders (not the douchebags in the tech press) who pop off.

The problem is that VCs all talk to each other and decide who to fund, so if you fall out with that crowd, you don't get another startup and your career is ruined. Consequently, a lot of founders get driven to take obscene risks with their companies (that they wouldn't take if they hadn't given up control) and get hit on the downside (lots of work, no payoff).
Don't forget, it was 10k in 1990.
Contrary to popular belief Microsoft doesn't really care what phone you use. Nor does it care if you use an iPad or Mac at home. I'd wager most Microsoft employees use Android, with iOS as close second and WP as distant third. A lot less distant than in the rest of the world, but third nevertheless.
Yes, but that's comparing mainstream psychiatry to an alternative. Compared to just not doing anything mainstream psych is often bad. See http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/02/books/greenbergs-book-of-w...

Just to expand on this: options can be position-dependent, and treat options as an algebra (a --and b --or c); or, just executed in order to eg change directory (-d dir1 a b c -d dir2 x y z).

Basically, by treating the arguments as a stream of tokens, it can be parsed with the same power used for parsing the source of programming language.

Yet for many uses there are natural complexity-levels for option parser tools (like position-independent boolean options, and options taking one argument), hence the many tools for many niches.

And they are easy to write, so everyone writes one.
Yeah, no. It is not that simple. "News" tends to be sensationalist crap. Simply talking about it does not have to make it more likely. I do realize that it can make it more likely. But it depends a helluva lot on how that conversation happens.

Just because a lot of people fuck it up doesn't mean that speaking about it is the cause per se. Words have power for both good and evil.

It's not so much ineffective as insufficiently effective. At least for mood disorders, most patients need to try more than one treatment regimen before finding one that works (in the sense of having a sustained and appreciable reduction in symptoms without intolerable side effects), and a substantial minority never find a treatment regimen that they're satisfied with. The biggest study on this that I know of is STAR*D, which focuses on depression treatments [1].

VSCO has a rather large following among the prosumer crowd, most of the Apple "Shot on the iPhone 6" ads mention VSCO and a photographer friend of mine uses it on his iPad with his 5D on the go. While I haven't used it myself, its certainly been name checked quite a bit and its success is largely due to it being a more empowered Instagram on the photography side.
Actually the worst part of twitter is that things disappear so quickly (till recently). 320MM MAU doesn't mean everyone sees that. A TV ad can 1) be sent to any station, 2) has a good chance of being seen by a large % of people tuned into that station at that particular time.

First of all, market capitalisation is only the measure of the number of outstanding shares multiplied by the current price. You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think that all the FB shares in existence could be sold at the current NASDAQ closing price.

Secondly, to achieve the current $296Bn market capitalisation, investors are rating the company at sixty-six times 2015 earnings. That means that FB better be growing at an obscene rate for the very long term, because as we say in the market, FB is "priced for perfection". Any hiccups in earnings or signs of faltering growth and investors will be just as quick to de-rate the FB price as they have been for TWTR. So it can be "worth" $296Bn one day and significantly less than that the next.

I actually have a snapchat account that I set up to see what was going on at the college near me (public curated "college" story that was being locally advertised for a while), and I have been known to poke around on Minecraft servers on slow evenings when I don't want to think.

That said, the very thought of interacting with any teens actively using snapchat gives me the heebie jeebies in a huge and ugly way. It'd be hard to overstate my desire to not interact with anyone that age on snapchat or really anything else that involves video or photos.

Even without the concerns about avoiding anything that can be even perceived as skeevy, I have absolutely nothing except some demographic elements (country, race, have been known to play stupid video games) in common with snapchatters, and aside from adding in the family element it sounds like neither does the writer. So, unless I'm trying to market to them (which has its own skeeviness factor) it's like wrestling a greased pig - lots of annoyance and nobody's having any fun there.
The researchers deserve some of the blame as well. In physics, at least, and certainly in some other fields, there is a strong tradition of posting preprints to the arXiv or other similar free archives. The journals, including all the top journals, accommodate this---they have no choice.

You mention chemistry. I don't know anything about chemistry journals, but given the precedent set by other fields, I feel that chemists don't have a good excuse for locking their research up behind paywalls.

One of the problems with mainstream psychiatry is that it does not work to pay someone to care. It also does not work to pay someone by the hour for this type problem rather than paying them for results.

I don't know how to fix it. I do think military shrinks have a better track record. They are still employed, even if you get better. They don't have an inherent incentive to want you to keep being in need of "help" so they can finance a second home or some shit.
> it seems you could handle the heterogenous case by designing an `Any` struct and (at least in C++) implicit constructors to take various types (int, T*, ...)

In C11 you could also use _Generic. It will be perfect for the year 2045 when Microsoft adds C11 support.
\tangent Wouldn't it make sense for this to be a library? Though most of the py looks so simple, it already has the libraries.

Or, to parse the curl command string at run time, so it can easily be human-read, as a curl command?

But I guess the idea is to generate a start-point template, which can then be customised for whatever is needed.

It would be nice for a tool to combine both - so new code is attached to the curl command string... but not very readable... and not very flexible (I bet the next thing you wanted to add would be something that hadn't been considered...)
As used here, there's two ways you can do this in C.

Since the variable in question is only used in one function, you could declare the variable static to that function. It takes some care to make this reentrant, but that's possibly the case in lisp as well.

To share between multiple top-level functions, you can only limit scope to the individual file.

The bigger thing C can't do that lisp can here is defining new functions in arbitrary places. In C variants where you can define local functions, you can indeed capture variables in local scope. And within a function, you can limit scope by creating a new block:

int test() {
int foo = 7;

{
int foo = 9;
}

return foo; // returns 7
}

Even in those C variants, you can't place a new function in global scope from within a function.

Free space optics would be my technology of choice for short distance, high bandwidth, high density connections.

Nearly unlimited spectrum. The 'tower' side could be essentially a 'floodlight'. And you don't even have to tassle with the FCC AFAIK.

It has the distance and weather issue as millimeter wave tech, but it doesn't have the bandwidth constraints.

Outside of that, there is not a viable technology I'm aware of that can do wireless data distribution in a high density, multi-gigabit environment. There is simply not enough available RF spectrum in the bands that can tolerate weather and atmospheric conditions over distances that would be relevant here.
Being disturbing is orthogonal to literature quality. It shouldn't be avoided, but 'disturbing' by itself has no particular merit, any more than science fiction or romance by itself has particular merit.

Specifically, if you are going to force kids to read books in a class, you should find something that increases their worldview, gives them something new to think about, and whether that is disturbing or not shouldn't matter.
