Can someone explain to me why in Section 4: Functions they compute Twice by multiplying the number by three then subtracting the number once? Is it just to showcase more math, or is there a detail I'm missing?

/* Computes double of a number. Works by tripling the number, and then subtracting to get back to double. /

   static int Twice(int num) {

      int result = num * 3;

      result = result - num;

      return(result);**

If the the whole market looked like this in the next year, people's 401k accounts would probably be demolished.

In 2015, [...], so we immediately banned Kogan's app from our platform,

Last week, [...] We immediately banned them from using any of our services.

Can someone explain how they banned them twice, or what the differences are between FB's "platform" and their "services" ??

"Due to the telecommunications landscape right now, it may not be possible to seamlessly maintain your primary number for all instances, for example it is not possible to forward messages with most carriers we have explored."

This pretty much kills it IMO. When someone is trying to reach you they have to message two numbers?

I don't get what they're plan is.

"This launch is a giant step forward in our efforts to bring rich content to Reddit, following last year’s release of native image hosting and our introduction of native video ads earlier this year."

Which means having to watch a 30 second ad before a 15second video clip.
