It's probably CenturyLink, which is the 3rd largest LEC behind AT&T and Verizon. (Comcast isn't classified as a Local Exchange Carrier, it a cable operator.)
I have a strong suspicion that our modern society's obsession with pursuing happiness as an end goal is not healthy. Maybe what we need is an underlying sense of contentment.
This article limited itself to phone companies. The three companies are most likely Verizon, AT&T, and CenturyLink

Aging is a global phenomenon of damage accumulation throughout the body: more damage means faster aging. People who show more damage in any one measure tend to show more damage in all the others too, as it all stems from a few root causes. This bears up in epidemiological studies, but there is a fair amount of individual variation.

Almost every decline in aging that can be measured can be correlated with near future mortality. Grip strength and walking speed are the common ones presently used, and finding others should be in no way surprising.

That is in fact Morris's Corollary to Greenspun's Tenth Rule.
I find the details you are giving here interesting, and quite promising.

> That lead to a couple of surprising changes like getting rid of nesting / scoping (no matter what we did visually, people just couldn't figure it out).

I worry about that -- I can see where its probably a huge gain for initial usability but my concern with it is that it shows signs of one of the big problems with spreadsheets in that they make it easy for non-programmers to start with something, and add complexity to it until not only they can't maintain it, but calling in a professional programmer doesn't make it maintainable either, and you essentially need to do a ground-up reanalysis and rewrite to get it into a state where it is maintainable with the complexity it has grown to.
The numbers behind the 10,000 hour rule are kind of funny. If you worked 2 hours EVERY day on doing something (e.g. practice an instrument) it would take you over 13 1/2 years to meet the 10,000 hour rule. But, the thing is (from someone who plays multiple instruments), if you were to TRULY practice EVERY day for 2 hours at piano you would gain tremendous mastery over the instrument in less than half that time (e.g. 5-6 years). So, in my opinion, 10,000 hours is actually excessive.
Windows 8.1 bumped the kernel version. Not skipping 9 is even more confusing.

"Python's CSV parser will handle almost anything you throw at it and it is widely used to great success."

Piracy at the Old Bailey
If you can provide me with any evidence that interpretation can be more efficient than a static compilation outside of the marginal cases, I'd be very grateful.

I did a lot of research in tracing JITs, runtime partial specialisation and all the related stuff, but so far there is no practical and useful implementation of any of such techniques which could beat a mere straightforward static translation.
Do you know if there a legal/tax impediment to getting the pass-through classified as a not-for-profit? Or did you just mean it makes it harder to implement as a traditional startup?
Actually, the article gave examples, e.g., "the number of hours of deliberate practice to first reach “master” status (a very high level of skill) ranged from 728 hours to 16,120 hours," where 10k was not necessary.

Of course, nothing in the article refuted the study Gladwell cited, among a group of talented musicians, those who practiced more were superior. I'm fairly sure no one took away from that the notion that people with no musical talent could become concert musicians if they practiced for 10K hours. The debate is silly, but the studies cited were interesting; would that they had been presented less sensationally.
Mods: what happened to the word "suicides" in the title of this story?

It's not omitted to fit the 80 character limit; the title with the word included is still underneath that.

It's not omitted because the article isn't about suicides; there's three of them discussed.

I submitted the link, and I could have sworn I just copied and pasted the full title it's running under at Re/code, which is "The Downtown Project Suicides: Can the Pursuit of Happiness Kill You?"

If I'm misremembering and the word wasn't in the submission, I apologize in advance. But if it was there, and someone took it out, that seems like it does a real disservice to the article by downplaying the gravity of what it's actually about. (I'd edit it myself to put it in, but it looks like my window for editing the submission has closed.)
The main reason species go extinct when the ecosystem collapses is the fact that most animals can't adapt to the new normal. Humans are among the most adaptable life forms imaginable, our civilization has a much better chance at surviving ecological collapse. Poor people might all be eating jellyfish stew, and certain economic sectors might disappear, but we should be just fine.

Like I said, I wasn't struggling with alcohol. I was struggling with a health crisis. I never thought of myself as alcoholic. But I was drinking daily for a while there, which is part of why I say I think some folks would view it as alcoholism.

It was a long time ago. I was also sometimes on medication, I was in a whole lot of pain, horribly sick, etc. So my memory of the details isn't exactly perfect here. Thus, I can't say how often I had the equivalent of four drinks per day vs 1-3 drinks or how long the 4 drinks level lasted (in terms of weeks/months). I do know it started at one drink and went up over time, which is another thing that would make a lot of folks go "Yup! Alcoholism!" I just know that for about a year, it was relatively rare for me to not drink alcohol at some point during the day because when I didn't, I was in tremendous pain and could not sleep. I did try different things, including vodka, and I vaguely recall getting seriously drunk at one time with some ... liqueur of some sort. (Again, I imagine that would look damning to some folks.) But what ended up working for me was Kahlua, usually with dinner.

Thank you for doing the math.
I think the problem with that is that subs like /r/thefappening popping up by default is kind of a PR nightmare. From the perspective of attracting new users it's great, though.
How is this any different than Google One Today (https://onetoday.google.com/)? At least with Google, I trust them with money, plus, the app has a lot more than just $1/day if you really care about a cause. It has the game mechanics, too, so, I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with Google.
I don't really agree that happiness itself is overrated, but certainly the pursuit itself is.

I'm believe I'm asking a valid question.

I read the article last night when it came up on /r/skeptic. The author describes a sort of adolescent addiction due to underdeveloped inhibitions of those who having reach their mid-20s. The thesis seems to say that some addictions are situational, like the distinction between a normal situational depression and a clinical depression (one that does not trace to a person's current life situation).

To restate my question: is what the author describes actual an addiction? Perhaps only those addictions that don't resolve themselves are addictions.

So instead of describe the situation as the author does -- some addictions resolve themselves -- perhaps the definition of addiction needs to be refined.
SEEKING WORK - remote, from Israel

I've been a full-stack Web developer since 1993, when I set up one of the first 100 Web sites in the world. I've been working as a consultant since 1995. I have extensive experience with Ruby (and Rails), Python, PostgreSQL, JavaScript, and many other technologies. I have a PhD in Learning Sciences from Northwestern University; I researched the intersection between online communities, collaboration, social networks, and agent-based models.

My real value isn't my extensive technological know-how. Rather, it's my ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical people, and to turn that communication into business value.

I know how to take business needs and turn them into software, by myself and with others. I also know how to describe technical issues in terms that business people can understand, that allow us to make informed decisions. Many of my clients have used me as a remote, part-time CTO or lead developer.

I also help developers and teams improve their coding and management practices. I frequently teach in-person courses in Python, Ruby/Rails, PostgreSQL, and Git to such companies as Apple, Cisco, Freescale, HP, SANDisk, and VMWare. I also offer online coaching/pairing services to individuals and teams. I can be your "personal coding trainer," setting goals and meeting several times each week to ensure that your code and coding improve.

My aim: Long-term, interesting projects with nice people. (Short-term relationships can also be fine, depending on the work and myschedule.) Bottom line, I like to speak with and help nice people, and feel privileged that my work lets me do so. If I can incorporate elements of what I learned doing my PhD -- an online collaborative platform and social network for agent-based modelers (http://modelingcommons.org/) -- then that would delight me even more.

If I can be of help to you or your company, contact me at reuven@lerner.co.il, or on Skype as "reuvenlerner". You can also read more about me at http://lerner.co.il/ , and on my blog at http://blog.lerner.co.il/ .
I'd love to hear about your experiences using Rust on embedded devices, and I know the Rust devteam would as well.

I'm currently a Senior Software Development Engineer at Microsoft, in the St. Paul, MN office. Unfortunately last week the hard decision was made to close our local office. So I'l looking for my next challenge.

I'm open to just about any technologies, as long as there is some challenging problem to solve! I'm curious, and a problem solver. I love building things and finding out how things work.
I am just asking for evidence, and I looked into the answers to all the questions I listed above and saw either answers that seemed positive or neutral with respect to economic performance and the environment for entrepreneurship. The sentiments you expressed nearly every businessperson from every country expresses about their own nation.

I cannot properly judge what you are telling me without evidence that goes beyond your word, if you do not wish to furnish that is fine - I thought it might be an interesting exercise for both of us.

I am not from Denmark, but I also suppose that you have not run a corporation of similar size in every comparable nation in the world either, have you? The merits of a given economic model need to be evaluated relative to its peers. Neither you or I alone can be an authority on that.

Edit: And we should be fair here, shouldn't we? I did provide evidence in the form of both studies and employment indicators. I think I have demonstrated a reasonable interest in educating myself on the topic.

On top of the "where did it get those timestamps from", time flows backwards in that interval.
Concerning your: "the Project Management Tools that are out there weren't making us happy. In fact we hated the whole lot of them. Bloated, slow, ugly to look at and unintuitive, we just couldn't stand the sight of them a moment longer." How does your project relate to http://92fiveapp.com/ which was posted here some time ago in a somewhat similar vein?
> that means that 60% of people are contributing to the education of that 40%

... and? These are the future business and political leaders of their country. Don't they have an interest in educating them properly, so that they'll be ruled by competent people?

Besides, some of them will have been "poor people" who managed to squeeze into that 40%. We are not talking about hypotheticals here: it happened in Britain for a while, just go check the life stories of droves of modern civil servant and politicians and you'll find people who made effective usage of their free education to better themselves and their country. This will inevitably happen less and less, now that poor families with smart kids are forced to take on 27k of debt - a deferred graduate tax which, being regressive (as all flat taxes are), is disproportionately affecting people from poorer backgrounds rather than well-off families (who, in the UK, are used to pay even more for pre-university education anyway -- for them it's just another drop in the water).

* Collection-oriented rather than cell-oriented. Eve is loosely based on datalog which is closer to SQL or prolog than to a spreadsheet. The relational query model is much more powerful than vlookup. I believe we can make it as approachable.

* Networked / multiuser. Excel deals poorly with concurrent access to data and reacting to events. Most of the users we talk to have problems with sharing spreadsheets and moving data through pipelines. We aim to provide a shared database so that one users computations can easily depend on another users data and can respond to changes or new data.

* Web-native. The web is unfortunately the only distribution platform with any reach. That's one of the things that killed VB6.

* Not ugly. It may be shallow, but people don't like to use ugly software and will perceive it as being harder to use (eg http://www.ergonomicsclass.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Tr...)

That said, the forms/3 HCI research is excellent and their recent work on preventing errors (http://eusesconsortium.org/wysiwyt.php) has been especially educational.
Victory for drag queens as Facebook apologises for 'real-name' policy

They should take donations, as in "$8 a week plus anything extra you can give to help us keep the lights on."

Readers feel strongly about this organization - there must be some who want to give more.
I created a non-profit with a similar concept about 5 years ago called Vonate.org (now defunct). Our concept was $1/month and you would vote/donate (vonate) your dollar to one of the two featured organizations. I'm a big believer in the micro donation space, but execution is key.

My biggest lessons learned were:

1) Find and vetting 24 great organizations was difficult.
2) Getting people to spend $15/year (how we covered costs) was a challenge, so keep your expectations on audience engagement incredibly low.
3) Revenue through sponsorships won't keep the lights on.

Regardless - best of luck.
And if they're not, I'd say that might be a bug.

> If you would gladly give money to charity, but don't care enough to even research who you're giving to, the chance that you help create lasting change and a shift in thinking about yourself versus others is unlikely.

1) I think it might be less, but unlikely? That's a pretty strong statement.

2) Rational assessments of charities, like stock picking, can go horribly awry if you put all your resources in one pot. This is more like a 'managed fund'.

3) mindlessly giving money away could be a gateway to mindfully giving money away. Creating zero or low-barrier modes of entry to beneficial habits is a good idea. Ultimately, a user of this service could see, hey $360/year isn't that bad for my bottom line, and begin regularly donating $360 to a charity of choice.
I know little about this, but having said that could a very high burst produce affect elements that are mostly stable against the normal background radiation levels, but then decay into other elements when exposed to particular levels of gamma rays? So while general "rocks" might not have clear data, detecting the signatures of particular ratios of elements outside the normal baseline in a certain type of geological formation might provide evidence. Locating similar formations around the world could even triangulate to which side of the planet was hit.
