Music is not language and it is not "a language". It is something that _seems_ like language.

This is because music has evolved as a mutated copy of part of the human language acquisition instinct. The mood change caused by music is a mutated copy of the mood change that accompanies initial language acquisition, and it serves a different purpose.

The mood change that accompanies initial language acquisition helps to focus the infant's mind on language as a separate important thing that has its own (somewhat arbitrary) rules that need to be understood separately from everything else.

The mood change that accompanies music serves to intensify emotions that accompany daydreaming - this helps us to "better" daydream, in a manner that does not cause us to confuse daydreamed emotions with real emotions (because we are always consciously aware that the mood change is directly caused by listening to music).

I thought that was the whole idea? Let them curate and release the relevent information?
Why are users worth money if they're barely being monetized? Considering how big (and old) reddit already is, they should already be profitable, and hence shouldn't need to raise money - unless they're planning something radical and expensive. Reddit is a cool site and wildly popular, but that doesn't mean it's going to make billions of dollars.

Also I suspect the site is increasingly populated with bots, not real users. I'd actually imagine the site is less popular this year in terms of real users than it was a year ago, although I have no way to know that and could be wrong. I'd need to see hard evidence to believe it hasn't had a rapidly growing bot population though.

It shows in the attitudes of the employees. Amazon got a bargain. It's too bad WF sold though.

My hope is it doesn't turn into Safeway. I literally pick the line with the least angry Checker.

The CEO said he would bring down the price of the basics, and he delivered. The price of milk, eggs, sugar, most 360 products are cheaper than Safeway. They do have a lost liter of wine that's pretty good. It's usually hidden though. It's $2.40/bottle. Forget the name. Three something?

Plus--I think Bezo is predicting the future. There will be very rich people that will always be buying. I don't have a rosy view of our future. I don't want to live in a society that gets used to steping over the homeless in order to buy groceries, and sundry items. Oh yea, I will never understand that cosmetic/nutrition isle. $30 for shampoo?

On a selfish note, I wish I trusted my gut a year ago. I wanted to buy Whole Foods, and Amazon stock. Just figured I can't take a risk.
I'd prefer a different approach: a true draft / submission cycle for more substantive works.

This starts approaching a blogging or CMS system, but then, Reddit is already damned close to that, though with a larger community than most same.

Under this model:

* An item would be submitted.

* If approvals / edit / drafting is set, it goes to a submission or edit queue.

* A set of mods/editors would provide feedback and/or make edits (which of these apply depending on the sub).

* The item is then submitted.

This would allow for adjusting titles, self-text, formatting, etc. I'm not claiming this is something all subs would want, but some would (and I've a few specific ones in mind).

For now, the fix is to delete the submission entirely and submit it anew. I've certainly done that within my own sub(s).
You mean Facebook?
Sigh... I'm sure many people will be overjoyed when the SEC comes to town and start treating everyone investing in ICOs like children that need to be protected from their own free actions. Sorry, but I'm skeptical this will make the world a better place (and yes, I fully agree many of these ICOs will likely end up being bad investments)
Spelling and grammar checkers.
Someone tested several on Reddit using two different validators. There were some that failed validation with one of the validators. Details are in the document linked to in the Reddit submission. Here is the Reddit submission: https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiLeaks/comments/58w8nh/the_podes...

.compact is still my preferred way of browsing Reddit on my phone. It seems to be slowly losing functionality (e.g., can no longer submit links or text posts), but the compactness of content is a big plus for me...
> they're talking about a computer running a desktop environment on Linux on a desktop or laptop computer

That's literally what I was asking. Thank you for replying with your opinion on the subject, it's ridiculous that it's taken this long for someone to say what they actually think instead of just arguing about compiling kernels and a lack of Scottish people.

In my opinion Android is not Linux on the desktop. In my opinion ChromeOS is not Linux on the desktop. I understand there are other opinions, but when I think Linux on the desktop, I think Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Red Hat, etc. Even the Wikipedia page about Linux on the desktop says "The term Linux adoption often overlooks operating systems or other uses such as in Chrome OS that also use the Linux kernel (but have almost nothing else in common, not even the name – Linux – usually applied"

So there is definitely room for debate. But apparently not on this forum.
This is really very fascinating and I'm looking forward to testing it out.

>shocked to discover that her car had a battery

Ugh I had a long argument with someone in college about why their car wouldn't start... it couldn't possibly be a dead battery, they didn't drive an electric car.
I guess. But many are pissed off about how little's been released. And about how much it's been monetized.

Edit: OK, "profited from".
It's not just MFA/fashion, the same cycle repeats anytime a big corporation consumes a smaller brand... like my Amazon coworkers bemoaning "the end of Whole Foods" earlier today.

Personally, I'm still happy with my Bonobos products but I'll use this as motivation to start supporting another retailer.
I believe the claim is that all of their vehicles include the hardware required for these planned future features. They call attention to regulatory challenges, but gloss over the fact that many of these items aren't ready yet from a software perspective.

The failures of the academic cryptography community to provide solutions to real-world problems in general are well-documented, and I will not belabor them here (q.v. Rogaway's "The Moral Character of Cryptographic Work").

I will only say that I don't think this problem (strong security + performance) has been on the minds of very many people for very long, and this work is really still in its infancy.
Making Humans a Multi Planetary Species (by E. Musk)
No, is not about a large variety of cuts and styles. They became well known because their pants, while generally on the slim side, don't make you look like a hipster in skinny jeans, but they also don't look like parachute pants. In the US, mass market men's pants tend to be really baggy and unflattering (aka "diaper butt") for anyone with a slim or athletic build, and that was the niche Bonobos filled.

In short, their pants just make your butt look good.
If that happens, the Digg team is going to REALLY regret all of those missteps along the way.
This seems entirely in harmony with Stephen Jay Gould's theory of punctured equilibrium. [1] "Punctuated equilibrium (also called punctuated equilibria) is a theory in evolutionary biology which proposes that once species appear in the fossil record they will become stable, showing little evolutionary change for most of their geological history. This state is called stasis. When significant evolutionary change occurs, the theory proposes that it is generally restricted to rare and geologically rapid events of branching speciation called cladogenesis."

Species experience perturbations in their genetic expression constantly but these only evolve into stable changes when the environment changes to require it.

Because they have the potential to be monetized. I have wild success with Reddit ads even though you can tell the ads products never receive much love (or maybe that's just Reddit generally).

Companies are valued based on discounted future cash flow. In other words, investors are betting that at some point in time Reddit will generate billions, even when adjusted for a discount for time. That's not crazy at all to me to see that happening.
Deepmind's blog does that which is the most annoying thing. E.g.: https://deepmind.com/blog/#decoupled-neural-interfaces-using...

My wife is one of those people. Loves to cook, does it at a very high level, and hates the grocery store.

I was super skeptical about food delivery, but I've become a believer. We get more meals at home, with less stress and time wasted, for a small premium above shopping at the grocery store.

It's a very immature market today, in another 10 years I think it will be the typical approach for most home cooks that aren't on a tight budget.
Bill force people to report cryptocurrencies entering the US
I've been experimenting with answering that question.

An extremely heavily-commented approach to defining equality for things like Double (where there are multiple sensible ways to compare things) will probably be a better introduction to these ideas:

https://github.com/mrkgnao/noether/blob/master/library/Noeth...

https://github.com/mrkgnao/noether/blob/master/library/Noeth...

The rest of the repo implements abstract algebraic structures along similar lines.

Here is what monoids look like in this formalism at present. It's a bit involved: first I use a fine-grained separation into highly polymorphic Magma and Neutral classes:

https://github.com/mrkgnao/noether/blob/master/library/Noeth...

And there are "strategies" for combining those pieces of structure, whose use looks like

type instance MonoidS (op :: BinaryNumeric) Rational
= DeriveMonoid_Semigroup_Neutral op Rational

Which means "derive the preferred monoid structure with operation op" (MonoidS op) on Rational from the preferred semigroup structure and preferred neutral element on it with that operation.

https://github.com/mrkgnao/noether/blob/master/library/Noeth...

You can always use some other monoid structure for the same combination of type and operation (!) if you like. For instance, here's a demo of using the self-action of a ring on itself (i.e. considering a ring as a module over itself) to compute something, even if your preferred choice of action has been declared to be something else (or hasn't been defined at all).

https://github.com/mrkgnao/noether/blob/master/library/Noeth...

This says "here, use the self-action derived from the multiplicative magma structure on R".
I'm thinking about exceptions.

>Isn't Reddit successful? Why are they raising money?

To become more successful
A prescient article. I hope this publication will be able to do a follow up some time later, once things settle.

I also wonder: My understanding is that many recent tech IPOs are structured such that most investors have limited ability to activist-invest in a company (like what is happening with Whole Foods). Is that (at least partially) because those CxOs have seen this happen before, and don't want it to happen to them?
> If the cell was large people would attempt to get into them on purpose to get a private room.

I think that's a societal problem, not a prison design problem.

Why? Wouldn't it be sufficient discouragement just with the removal of your basic rights to go where you like and do what you want?

Kroger is the primary grocery store in my neighborhood and I shop there at least once a week. Despite that, I can never quite grok the store layout. It feels like it's been designed to make it impossible to find the last three items on your list so that you will roam the store endlessly picking up random impulse items while hunting your white whale condiment.

I wouldn't be very optimistic:

> “Assortment is driving a lot of these acquisitions,” Wal-Mart Chief Executive Doug McMillon told investors last month before the ModCloth acquisition became public. “There are some suppliers that don’t want to sell on Wal-Mart.”

To me, that sounds like a plan to make Bonobos (or Moosejaw) a Wal-Mart company rather than to apply Wal-Mart's expertise to the acquired company.

The Supreme Court has given the SEC ability to duck type the definition of securities, which is:

> The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.

Quoting Marine Bank v. Weaver:

> The definition of "security" in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is quite broad. The Act was adopted to restore investors' confidence in the financial markets, and the term "security" was meant to include "the many types of instrument that, in our commercial world, fall within the ordinary concept of a security." The statutory definition excludes only currency and notes with a maturity of less than nine months. It includes ordinary stocks and bonds, along with the "countless and variable schemes devised by those who seek the use of the money of others on the promise of profits. Thus, the coverage of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws is not limited to instruments traded at securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets, but extends to uncommon and irregular instruments. We have repeatedly held that the test "'is what character the instrument is given in commerce by the terms of the offer, the plan of distribution, and the economic inducements held out to the prospect.'"

ICOs are almost certainly selling securities. Tokens look like a duck. They quack like a duck. They are sold by people promoting them as ducks. A ToS which says "n.b. Our quacking avians are not ducks; they're a totally different non-duck like thing which will supplant ducks in the future because they're so much better than ducks and cannot be regulated as ducks" will probably not mollify the SEC.
And what if you didn't use Facebook in the first place?

That's even more mind boggling. Why would someone who didn't use Facebook want to work for them, much less get hired without creating an account sometime before that?

These days, it seems that if you don't use Facebook you probably have a strong opinion not to, and are unlikely to even consider working for them.

A pet peeve of mine is that there are a bunch of punishments around driving, but almost no rewards for being a safe/model driver.

I don't want to be negative or anything.. but come on.
I stopped using reddit when they put a "USE OUR MOBILE APP OR DIE" message that cannot be closed conveniently on their mobile page. There is no possible advantage that can accrue to me by giving them app-level access to my device rather than running in my browser, which I trust far more than I trust them. They are literally a dynamic, partitioned page-ranking system, why in the heck would I ever let that escape the browser's sandbox?

I'm (obviously) not the target market, but I absolutely detest disingenuous behaviour like this.
