   I'm surprised at how small the working group is.

   Do you mean the balance of time you spend on the projects ? Or a balance of playing with new-tech versus building something useful ?

   I see this as an argument for testing, but not necessarily TDD. Why have the two become so intertwined?

    In the article the writer references "Europeans" - I wonder if they are Western Europeans or otherwise?

    I think you have to define scope though. MySpace isn't the definition of success but I don't know if it's the definition of failure either...

    Surprises me when I've seen this question that nobody brings up the topic of non-native English speakers. The Scandinavian, German, Italian, Polish, Gaelic, etc eventually stopped speaking their own language and took up English. Presumably

    Yes, exactly this. I didn't intend for my comment to be read as saying we can now forget about positive effect of wealth.

    I see what they are saying but I don't understand their conclusion that we should focus our effort on increasing wealth. So as a result of these findings we see that as wealth rises so does happiness... but the thing is the graph becomes lo

    If you, unlike most, don't believe modernity = progress history I'd recommend you read Ishmael. Great story which explores the cultural and environmental effect of leaving our hunter-gatherer lifestyle behind.

    I agree with everything said here - maybe apart from the points about demographics. We know Varsavsky was referring to Western Europe. In any case, I don't think it's such a bad thing to ignore differences for a moment and do a bit of gene

    As a Brit, I found this a fascinating read as I got to learn more about two cultures. Also interesting as I'm travelling around the US at the moment.
