We haven't been very focused on sharing. We do let you post out to Twitter and Facebook though. But it's not replacement for the Flickr or Instagram communities.

We've been a little slower on adding social features right in the platform. With very limited resources it just isn't high on our priority list.

On a side note, I'm not convinced the size of the sharing market is as big and can be sustained as many people think (besides Facebook). I think the vast majority of photos which people place a lot of value on are ones they share with specific family and friends (this excludes photos of sunsets, lattes, and cats). The safekeeping of these photos is a big deal.

There's a lot going on with private social networks which I think is interesting but the chicken/egg problem for small networks is BIG.

ANYWAYS, the project is open sourced for a reason. We've built and are focused on the platform and safekeeping of photos. Pure social features may or may not find their way in but anyone can fork and add it. We provide a very stable and robust base to work off of.
I should have followed that sentence up with "but engineers are shifting towards the back-end as designers increasingly take their place on the front-end".

> I am addicted to porn. ... I would look about once per week...

I don't understand: this seems incongruous. Watching pornography once a week doesn't come across as an uncontrolled, impulse behaviour. How does one suffer from an addiction and satisfy it but once a week?

Do forgive me if I come across as doubting your word. That is not my intention in the least.

From my favorite Paul Graham essay,
The Acceleration of Addictiveness
http://www.paulgraham.com/addiction.html

"
Societies eventually develop antibodies to addictive new things. I've seen that happen with cigarettes. When cigarettes first appeared, they spread the way an infectious disease spreads through a previously isolated population. Smoking rapidly became a (statistically) normal thing. [...]

As knowledge spread about the dangers of smoking, customs changed."

So yes, porn has always existed. So has smoking. But, industrial cigarettes and broadband porn streaming are "more concentrated forms of less addictive predecessors." and hence they are more dangerous.

PS: Just to clarify, Pg did not mention porn addiction in his essay. He does mention Internet addiction, though.

Now you're changing the argument entirely, and not in a very promising direction for you. If it's a question of knowledgeability, you've just undermined your entire scheme to give 13 year olds the vote.

In fairness, that was proposed by jlgreco, and I just wanted to use that suggestion to move toward a more practicable discussion of the de facto disenfranchisement of younger voters by the two-party system, higher turnout among older voters, etc.

A possibility I would like to consider for discussion is a multi-tiered legal system in which every ~25 years the new generation starts from scratch with a new set of laws, limited only by a small set of human rights guidelines. People can then opt into whichever generation's set of laws they want, with the ability to switch tiers every year or two, but you can only vote in the tier for your age group.

It's not a fully formed idea and I"m sure one could poke lots of holes in it, but I still think that it would be interesting to discuss in another context (this thread's already long enough that this comment is only an inch wide on the article page).
Too late MIT.
Visualizing Flight Options
Why does a designer who can code scare you? It's a good thing. I'm a designer that works in code and it often makes my relationship with devs a lot smoother. I understand limitations, can reduce dev time significantly, and together, we share strengths producing a wonderful interface.

The design then pass off flow sucks. It puts too much emphasis on ornament and not enough on functionality. As a designer, understanding how it's implemented and why improves your work significantly.
Including a toolbar with your product, especially with an update is like giving your customers the finger.
I love the vernacular of the various software development cultures I see.

In particular, the terms "engineer" and "designer" stand out to me.

While software development is generally thought to fall under the 'E' in STEM, it really has little to do with traditional engineering disciplines. (Eg. Building bridges or buildings.) In fact, in other disciplines it takes longer to build the final product than it does to design it, whereas with software, for most projects where the risk of wasting expensive resources is not involved, it's easier to write a prototype than to design your software up front. And yet the word "engineer" is used primarily to refer to a software developer, even though the term doesn't really fit the process of software development.

I can't help but feel that the word "engineer" is less of a descriptive and more like a title, such as "writer" in graffiti. [0]

"designer" is interesting because it assumes that all design work is the same in all contexts. Software is special in regards to design, because it features graphic design challenges which are also industrial design challenges. So while a reader peering in from the outside might be confused by the ambiguous "designer", in reality the term is usually referring to interaction design.

This ambiguity gets especially interesting when you see the conversations that seem unaware of the difference between industrial and graphic design, leaving you guessing if the participants know or not. (Eg. "A lot of designers just want to make something pretty.")

I'm not going to try to wade into the fearful fog of correlation vs causation. I know very little about Aaron, or the case.

Instead, I'd just like to try an analogy on for size. Two people are blindfolded and beaten equally during a robbery. One, a 20 year old, suffered only minor injuries, the second, a 70 year old woman with a heart condition, died from a stress induced heart attack during the beating.

Was she murdered or did she die naturally of a heart condition?

Its possible the prosecution knew all about Aaron's depression and history. That might actually make what they did worse and not better. He clearly needed the help you speak of... his "crimes" may even have been a symptom. Did anyone consider this or try to help him?
There's no standard definition of having a "diseased mind," but I think a case can be made that his sexual compulsions were pathological. He was hardly unique in having enemies in eighteenth century France, but he couldn't stop himself from handing his enemies one excuse after another to lock him up, often for crimes that we still find repugnant today. (I don't know what your source is for the idea that he never hurt anybody.) It isn't like eighteenth century aristocrats were held to high standards in their treatment of servants and prostitutes. A man who couldn't live within those limitations would have found the twenty-first century even less hospitable to his compulsions.

What you are relating isn't scientific information, though it may help you in some way, it isn't necessarily accurate or helpful to others.

You have oversimplified the function of dopamine to the point that you have said something misleading. It isn't a drug. You also get a "hit" of dopamine when there is a loud, surprising noise, and any number of similar situations. Including good, natural situations. Including normal sex. This doesn't mean that "your dopamine levels get out of whack".

When you say that 'life just becomes more dull' and 'distracting yourself from negative emotions' it sounds like you are describing dysthymia or depression more than anything specific to porn. The link between monoamines (like dopamine) and depression has been known at least since MAOIs were first prescribed for depression. Of course, if you feel terrible about yourself for looking at porn once a week then that won't help any ongoing problem you have with negative self-image and depression.

Edit: in other words, I suspect (though I can't at all prove) that you have the arrow of causality reversed, and it wasn't porn causing your depression

If an idea of where to do that just popped into your head, do that. Otherwise, Google for the closest religious organization to your house and head over there. In person, right now. It doesn't matter if you're religious, most of them do generally humanitarian work. Tell them that you're trying to get involved in the community and ask to join the next available event.

We talk about changing the world, often through the application of extremely abstract skills to fairly abstract problems, but it sounds like what you need is tangible feedback about the impact of your work, and a warm flesh-and-blood community to be part of. This comic is a poignant example of how unfulfilling abstract work can be, even if it's important: http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2305

Here's the thing - you do not have to do this one-on-one stuff for very long. This is just a step to open you up to the world at large, and create a tangible sense of progress. Soon, I'm sure you'll notice some way to make a slightly bigger difference, because you've been surrounded by important problems, big and small. You'll do that, and see how you could expand it, and do that. You will be doing more and more generally powerful good, but it will be grounded in your tangible experience.

After that, just keep focusing on your next mountain, even if you've heard stories that someone once climbed Everest. Just keep moving.

Finally, please PLEASE find someone to talk to if you think you're feeling depressed. If it turns out that you're not clinically depressed, great! If you are, getting help is incredibly important. Getting back in action is worth every penny that it will cost, both from the prospective of your well being and ability to contribute to society.

Can you point me to where I said they were heroes or martyrs? I said there was complex psychology involved, not pop-psych extremism.

duairc's point is that multiple parties can be responsible for something - that it's not appropriate to just blame the victim. duairc wasn't painting Swartz as a hero, a martyr, a villain, or even just a regular guy - or even that he's not primarily responsible.

We really need to get away from the idea that responsibility can only ever be assigned to one entity.

Google peers directly with MIT, so connections there do not have to go to the public internet.
I would agree with this.

Google changes all the time. I would ALWAYS place more emphasis on a great brand name, and great product. At the end of the day, your brand should outlast Google's algorithm changes. You don't want to be on the losing side of an algorithm change.
The main issue people think about is that .com is the best for exposure on Search Engines but what they don't realise is that because of this EXACT reason is that Google puts .com to the top. Because they still believe that the community at large values a .com domain.

As time passes, people will adopt more different domain types and I'm sure Google will notice and adjust its search algorithms accordingly.

So, why not? Start the .whatever revolution!

I have sites like calendarme.in and des.sk and they're working great.

Those little cheap Nokias are great for what they are. I had a Nokia 1800 for a long time and it did its job perfectly: good reception, battery lasted forever, screen was always easy to read, alarm was nice and loud, software was easy enough to use.

I use a Nexus S now and it's probably altered too many of my habits for me to go back, but I still miss how my little cheap Nokia just did its job and did it well.

I am considering switching my Nexus S for a Nexus 7 + cheap Nokia combo though. It seems like it would give me the best of both worlds. We'll see.
He doesn't explicitly present the evolutionary argument as compelling evidence that we're helpless against pornography. In context, it can just as easily be read as an explanation for why it is plausible. If you don't buy it as evidence, you don't have to read it that way. A few paragraphs later, he appeals to experience, saying:

"It is perhaps only people who haven’t felt the full power of sex over their logical selves who can remain uncensorious and liberally 'modern' on the subject. Philosophies of sexual liberation appeal mostly to people who don’t have anything too destructive or weird that that they wish to do once they have been liberated.

"However, anyone who has experienced the power of sex in general and internet pornography in particular to reroute our priorities is unlikely to be so sanguine about liberty."

I don't want to keep quoting passages, so I encourage you to read the whole thing.
It's a lot easier to say 'no' than 'yes'. We want a 'yes' on this one, so I'm happy for them to work out how they can rather than knee-jerk 'no'.
Wow, I knew about the story of a man who shouted at passers by and was thus moved from the Bastille to a different prison just two weeks (slightly less) before it was stormed and all prisoners were released (all being seven if I remember correctly), and that he was then terrified that his writing had been lost, but never realised it was Sade before.

Given his personal life it certainly doesn't seem impossible that he was fantasising about what he wrote, but isn't it always a possibility that he wasn't too? It's possible to write fiction that you wouldn't want to happen in real life, after all.
I disagree strongly with the author,

Yea I designer can learn how to do dev stuff, is he going to do it efficiently in a work environment? I think not. The author talk about front-end development like it's coming increasingly easy, it's the contrary, it's more complex than it ever was.

Front-end development is not anymore about doing some css, html & creating a poorly written jquery plugins. It's a whole stack now, you got preprocessors to make css more powerful, a whole lot of tools to automate process, and js mvc to the booth & much more advanced javascript code to handle.

Is there exceptions? of course there are, some engineer are incredibly gifted designers and the other way is true, but in general? it's going to stay separate jobs.
The definition of addiction I heard that I agree with was something like "An activity that causes an overall negative effect on your life that you do not have control over."

This definitely fit with my experience. It was definitely a cycle for me. Alcoholics do not have to have a drink every day to be an alcoholic. In fact, one of the points of the AA program that people need to learn is they are always an alcoholic.

In my experience, I would just feel an uncontrollable urge which would lead me to view porn. Once I started, I would be in a trance-like state which is common from other experience I have read about. What kind of really hit home is hearing a non-addict say something like he would view porn for 15-20 minutes and then it would get boring and he would stop. That is the complete opposite of me, and other addicts. Once we start, it becomes almost impossible to stop until we are completely "drunk." In my experience, I would notice that I would put so much stress on my body, that it would really take me about a week to recover and feel normal, and then the cycle would start again.

I suppose the concern I have is that I'm starting a B2C security company. This means I have to (or at least feel like I have to) balance the requirements of having a short, trustworthy domain and making it accessible to less-technical users by making it a .com. I may well be overthinking this particular problem though.
Having good visual taste, and knowing to tell between good and bad design is very important, sometimes more than the ability to create it, and I think this is what distinguishes the "designer" from the "developer".

So I wouldn't say designer eats developer, but developer with visual taste and attention to detail who treats JavaScript as a real language, who knows HTML5 and CSS3, knows what is "responsive" and "Web Font" definitely eats "I don't care of anything happening outside my precious server side code as all the rest is just HTML" kind of developer
