I noticed several replies talking about Snapchat's practices, but no one commented on the huge number of applications that exist to download Snapchat content permanently and without triggering Snapchat's screenshot detection. It's not like these require any technical ability either: they are listed even in the iTunes Store and are very simple to use.

I'm not a parent, but if I had a child in the Snapchat age range I would show them how easy it is to make the impermanent permanent and that trust is placed on people, not technology. Untrustworthy people cannot be made trustworthy through technology.

I'm biased by my perceptive (legal) but imho girls between 12 and 18 should not be allowed connected cameras. I've had too many conversations with horrified fathers and crying children after a disturbing image ends up somewhere it was never meant to be. There are just too many people, and I include cops in this, out there looking to get kids into serious trouble. I know that kids live a life in pictures, but that public record of everyday activities too often come back to haunt them.

And fyi for fathers: Do not share a phone with your daughter. Do not borrow her phone, nor lend her yours. Some pictures are fine to be in her possession but if found in your possession could destroy your world.
While at university, you just take having free access to journals for granted. When you leave academia the withdrawal hits you. A lot of journals will make an article free if the author pays extra. (For those unfamiliar with how journals work, you submit your work, they get other scientists to review it for them for free, and then they charge you to publish it if the reviewers are all happy enough). The result of this practice is that you don't automatically know if an article will be possible to view or not. You can't just say, "Oh that's in Journal X, there's no point in looking it up because it won't be free". You have to check and be randomly denied!

The effect of this is that you can no longer freely follow the rabbit hole of an interesting chain of references, nor will you read articles outside your bailiwick for fun because they popped up on a blog somewhere. Even if you carefully restrict the journals you're interested in reading, subscriptions will total several thousand per year. Single articles will be priced at $40-50, which is just nuts when you're reading for curiosity. Even if it pertains to your job, it's a chore to jump through the bureaucratic hoops to make your company pay for it. The end result is that, once you leave university, you're cut off from legally obtaining access to a lot of interesting stuff. How does restricting knowledge in this manner serve science or industry?

In physics, arxiv is pretty freakin' awesome... for recent stuff. If you're following a reference chain, you go off the reservation pretty darned quick. I admit, I've been guilty of using some slightly more labor intensive means of obtaining articles without paying for them, but it's a pain. I honestly hope somebody succeeds in making all of history's scientific publications freely and easily available online in a very permanent way. Hell, that research was practically all funded with public money anyways! Why should private companies like Elsevier be collecting money for research Schrödinger conducted on the public dime before anyone alive was born?

Sci-Hub is new to me, but it looks promising. This is something the world needs.

Or maybe it's just that throwing more money at Facebook won't make it any faster or better at doing good. It's quite possible the Zuck really does think Facebook is the best way to have an impact, but more money won't increase the impact. So, having more money than ability to deploy in a single entity, he's branching out into others.

Besides diet and exercise, there is also the issue of social hygiene. Many people have become hardcore individualists. They do not even have a husband or a wife, let alone have meaningful interactions with other family members. You see, regular sex is not just a way of having fun. It is also something that contributes to your mental well being and assists in keeping you out of depressions and other mental issues. The same holds true for meaning-seeking spirituality such as in religion and meditation. It is one of the things that helps keeping you mentally healthy. For hardcore individualists and anti-spiritualists is their entire lifestyle that is in question.

Honestly, I'm positively perplexed by this comment.

Twitter allows me to follow writers and influencers like Malcolm Gladwell, William Gibson, Edward Snowden, Glenn Greenwald, to niche industry influencers ranging from Rails engineers to industrial designers to photographers in a way that is digestable and at times personal. To me, it's been edifying to read thoughts from them, discover work they've created as it happens, or find out about a book they recommend.

Twitter is literally what you make of it. Follow interesting people, you get interesting content.
No content, just an announcement of an announcement (which was posted several times already).

I didn't realize statement expressions were a GCC extension.

How do you do the safe min/max in MSVC? e.g.

#define min(a,b) ({ \
__typeof__(a) _a = (a); \
__typeof__(b) _b = (b); \
_a > _b ? _b : _a; \
})

works well in GCC/Clang. MSVC has decltype(a) _a instead of__typeof__, but I didn't know it doesn't have blocks-as-expressions.

Drugs are not the 'cost' per pill. It's all in development, so this is a silly point. Cost will go up, or part of the population will get slammed.

Placebo's are over rated. As such you have to be very sceptical of this article, it screams of alternative medicine. I wouldn't base much on this article alone.

I think you hear people recommend exercise because many of us in the tech sector don't get enough exercise, and for many it can make a huge difference. After I started jogging regularly a year ago, my depression lessened dramatically. But of course, everybody's different, so your mileage may vary.

The comments here are a great example of why mental health treatment is such a difficult problem for the tech crowd: Most of the comments are from people who believe they have a better handle a mental health diagnosis and treatment than actual psychiatrists, and many of them are quite wrong. Some of them dangerously so.

Depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, ADHD, and other mental health issues are extremely complex issues that can't be universally explained away by blood sugar or lack of spouses or loneliness as some of commenters here confidently claim. Every case is different, every person has their own complex set of issues and maladaptive coping behaviors and external stressors, and everyone responds to medications and lifestyle changes differently. Perhaps more importantly, navigating all of those individual variations is best left to a close patient-doctor relationship, leveraging each patients' feedback against the doctor's years of clinical experience.

The mistake many people make is trying to map others' mental health disorders on to their own prior experiences. That's why you see so many comments from people confidently declaring that curing depression is as simple as exercising because they felt sad a few years ago but felt better when they started running. That's great, and exercise is likely to help everyone, but that doesn't mean that another person's depression is simply a lack of exercise. Don't ever discount or downplay another person's mental health suffering, because that's only going to make things harder for them. Mental health sufferers often feel significant guilt about their symptoms, and having someone dismiss or downplay their suffering only compounds that.

Modern psychiatry isn't perfect and has plenty of room for improvement, but frankly it's a whole lot better than the comments here make it out to be. If you're struggling with mental health issues, make it a priority to see a professional. Get a second or third opinion if you're not happy with your treatment. But whatever you do, don't get sucked in to the misinformed internet commenters trying to discourage people from seeking treatment. Psychiatry can take some time, but the area under the curve of even marginal mental health improvements can add up to a huge difference over the course of your life.

I won't disagree that diet and exercise are a great way to improve your physical and mental health, but you can't equate low blood sugar with clinical major depressive disorder. MDD is much more pervasive, consistent, and miserable than the effects of transient hypoglycemia. And major depressive disorder certainly doesn't remit by having a meal to raise your blood sugar.
The problem with ISO 8601 is that it isn't as simple as it looks. A lot of implementations that claim to support ISO 8601 do not parse all the different formats allowed by the standard. There are all kinds of weird edge cases like specifying a date with a year and week number that are valid.

RFC3339 defines a subset that is only the sane tinestamp format most people probably think of when they think ISO8601. It's a good alternative, although a lot of the time UNIX timestamps are honestly the most convenient option for everyone.

Yeah, someone who says the us economy has been a big scam since 1914, we should all go to gold. You just have to laugh. I feel sorry for him. Yes, there will be depressions and growth spurts in your life, if you are fortunate to live long enough. You can pick one of them and claim that your bizarro econ theories are true, but regardless of being on gold or off it, there will be periods of bust, boom, and depressions. They happened without us being on gold, and happened with us being on gold. so what does being on gold fix?

I have yet to see a boy in my office. I'm in no doubt that it happens every day, but the cases I've had contact with all involved young girls, or at least images of them.

I think there is a different dynamic with males. Boys seem to show off by photographing themselves with things, with cars, cash or even tigers. [see link] Girls seem more likely to create images focusing on their person or their friends' persons. There is also some sexual dimorphism at work. Boys simply have less to physically cover, probably making inappropriate or accidentally inappropriate images less likely.

US YoY numbers are down--this is true. Q4 has historically been a bad growth month for them.

If you're focused on MAUs, then Q4 in a non-election year is going to be bad. It's like "peak boring Twitter". Everyone is rocking Amazon and the online retailers. There are no new TV series or movies dropping. Bowl season hasn't started. World Cup 2014 (Men) and 2015 (Women) are past.

Granted, the US annual YoY numbers aren't good, but:

* International is up 11%.

* 2016 is an election year.

* And there are Olympics this year.

* And Q1 is historically the strongest growth month.

I kind of think that if you're strictly MAU-focused, it's not a bad time to get in.

That said:

* I have noticed casual users dropping off their interaction volume based on my puny timeline.

* I attribute some of that not to anything competitive, but to the economy picking up and everyone being so freaking busy. More lurking, less of a need to self-validate. Call it social proof fatigue. (I really suspect this is the canary in the coal mine for Facebook engagement.)

* The sharp divide between folks who claim to "get" Twitter and those who claim to "don't get" Twitter is sharpening. Rather than seeing this as a negative, I see this as a bifurcation that can be studied and exploited.

Twitter still has a unique and important niche. There are so many ways they can innovate around this niche without destroying it.

My take:

* Twitter search is an unexploited global resource.

* Buffing up search and offering it orthogonally to the Twitter user experience is a HUGE potential upside that is untapped. They can monetize the hell out of that and not screw up the experience! Why limit engagement with their data flow to the timeline! I'd gladly accept more ads in a search than in my timeline.

* Restating that: content creators--the people who tweet--low barrier to entry. Market search and Moments in a broader way. The pulse of the country. You can laden that with the ads. Those are the MAUs you want.

They'll be fine. This feels more like a narrative created by competitors or potential acquirers to get them on the cheap before they can execute on their core value. Maybe they're run by weak-willed dullards who will cave because they can't see it, and it will be Google or someone else with a lick of sense that leads them to their promise, or who acquires them to kill them off.
>the entire concept of race has no objective reality

Come off it. Race is an objective reality. Aside from the visually obvious large difference(s) in pigmentation of the skin, there are other hard biological differentiators, like facial shape, the frequency of certain diseases, and many others.

Taking the anti-racism movement into hard, blatant denialism is beyond ridiculous and will only create more people like the friend you're trying to avoid. When there's no one in the middle to temper and explain inconvenient objective realities, people feel like their only option is to go to the extreme that seems to align with their experiences. That hardening of extremity is really bad for everyone.

Its easy to dismiss as more of the same, just different fads.

But 'kids these days' are actually threatened this time. With inactivity, sugar, constant media bombardment, record-short attention spans. The list goes on. They're being raised in an environment that no animal was ever exposed to before in history.

And they keep making more frantic devices, and the kids keep buying them. And we'll run off the cliff like lemmings and wonder what happened.
Excellent question. "Because of the secret float of the fed or something. You cannot trust those guys." That's always the answer.

There are non-crazy things to worry about the future - where will jobs come from for average people after we increasingly automate? Not everyone can be a programmer, and we don't need 95% of the population to do that. You can say medical care of palliative care or something. I don't know where the jobs are coming from.

And people that work in the financial industry, trading gold or CDOs, you aren't actually doing anything that helps society. If we stopped have people making money by trading on gold, would it matter to the world? No. Create something useful, that helps people, a new kind of drug. Teach kids. Don't sell real estate or work on faster stock trading algorithms. Grumpy me, my programming is the good kind, not the useless kind :-)
But you're not actually arguing the concept of predicting the future, you're arguing that when you throw something up, you can't predict that it's going to come down.

Look at the charts, the writing is on the wall, denying at this point because the talking heads on the television are telling you that everything is going to be alright while it's very clearly not is not taking a cautious stance and saying one cannot predict the future, it is ignoring the facts on the ground as they are.

Baltic dry index, Deutsche Bank CDS spread on 60 trillion of derivative exposure, Sovereign Debt CDS', the leverage of gold on the primary exchange in the world for paper vs physical gold, the buckling price of oil, the desperate moves of the central banks in the previous 8 years coupled with begging from the too big to fail banks that even more reckless and wild moves need to be undertaken (Let the banks charge negative interest on deposits, ban cash so the consumers can't avoid it, allow the banks to make the spread, give us more quantitative easing, keep manipulating the roulette wheel so we remain on top despite our utter incompetence, pay no attention to the market moves that say we're about to be destroyed, except of course to the extent you need to understand that if we are it's the end of the world as we know it because we're too big to fail, etc).

The systemic cancer needs to be destroyed for the actual effective allocation of scarce resources to be performed, the existing central banking system, its oversight, and basically everything about it, needs to undergo creative destruction.
