   We haven't explored the Kindle Singles world as much as we'd like. How does a person hear about a Single? How does one of them catch fire and become a big seller? Is it up to the author to promote them, or are there websites/

   Pretty sweet concept! We have ideas for a lot of stuff like this, but it might be a ways down the road.

   Thanks for making the case for this. We don't disagree.

   Thanks for this feedback and encouragement! We'd love if you would give us a try and then share any additional thoughts you may have about the difference between our narrators and VoiceDream. A few partnerships like you describe are in

   Thanks! We do partner actively with each publication, and we encourage them to use the audio versions we produce on their own websites and other platforms. That's where The Atlantic's audio comes from ;)

    We're glad you tried the app and hope you will try it again -- our whole focus recently has been on signing additional content partners, so that there's even more overlap between what you want to read and what we let you listen to

    Awesome :D Great question about voice. Yes, we do have plans for Alexa etc. We're really excited about that.

    Great observation about how to narrate code snippets. None of our narrators are technical (as far as we know!), but part of our job is to provide a narrator with a script describing the way they should narrate any text (or non-text figure)

    Other apps' read-aloud features make good temporary solutions, but sophisticated content really needs to be handled by the best narrators. Our current core roster includes a dozen narrators.

    Definitely -- both are in the works. We think the car's an awesome place to listen.

    Can you say more about using your PG Commander license? I have one too but don't understand the connection with Postico. edit: I figured it out. Sorry for the noise.

    This headline should mention one of the study's central conclusions: a great way to maximize these 'ingredients' is to include more women in the team.

    Hey whoever's building this -- please give me a shout. christianpbrink at gmail. If you haven't built it yet, maybe you don't need to, as I already have and may be interested in a partnership.

    Are you guys using LevelDB off the shelf or have you forked it?

    I agree that that's his point. I just wanted to put in a plug for Haskell being appropriate for many, many application development use cases, because there's a misconception that it's only useful in mathy or academic scenari

    I think catnaroek has this right. Neither that nor my original comment is meant to suggest that it would be straightforward for Rust to borrow from Haskell. Just that the post's comments on Haskell seemed to reflect misconceptions.

    Since this author is reasoning through proposed purity in Rust by comparing it with purity in Haskell... - I personally have never felt constrained by Haskell's purity. During development I use `Debug.Trace` to do any debug printing I

    "If Chomsky had focused on the other side, interpretation, as Claude Shannon did, he may have changed his tune. In interpretation (such as speech recognition) the listener receives a noisy, ambiguous signal and needs to decide which of many
