Well, exercise injury is an entire field of study, and hence the existence of the profession of physiotherapy. Yoga is just one more way you can hurt yourself and need a physiotherapist.

There was a great comment on the NYTimes article by someone called Stevi that I would like to quote here, "Yoga doesn't wreck the body. People wreck their bodies by practicing yoga with a lack of awareness and by taking classes from instructors who don't have enough experience. Yoga is an ancient discipline--a tool for self-realization. It's unfair to hold yoga responsible for our misuse of it. Yoga involves an eight-fold path of which asana is only one tenant. If you are practicing asana without without the other aspects of yoga such as ahimsa (non-harm), santosha (contentment), aparigraha (non-greed), etc., then you are destined for problems. Find a good teacher, and yoga is the greatest gift."

I would like to see this answered as well. The OP's point makes no sense to me. Is North Korea inherently filled with evil people, or what? Every country is full of innocent, misguided, and often oppressed people. Why is there justification to bomb anyone? At most, bombing might be a necessary evil, but no country's residents "deserve it".

All companies started in Hungary, even if they later become US entities, chose to keep their engineering in Budapest, because talent is available, and for much less than in SV. Also, it's less saturated.

E.g. I had a chat with a VP of a chech-US startup and they were inquiring about the possibility of expanding in Hungary, because they satured their chech sources, but SV is too expensive / also saturated.

Also, companies like Morgan Stanley, SAP or Microsoft are not starting new offices or expanding in SV, but they are over here.

So, talent is available. In fact, this is so obvious that companies like Morgan Stanley et.al. showed up here, giving good salaries, making my job as a startup guy trying to hire much more difficult.

To be fair though, specific talent like "has worked with Hadoop for a year" or "has worked at Google on the core search engine" is not present here. Also, people are much more likely to prefer to work at a BigCo than in a small startup, compared to SV.
This.

In much of the world people will complain to a government department if they are discriminated against, and expect the department to investigate impartially.

It is typically only in high-value cases (ie, C-level executives, sexual harassment cases where high levels of damages are expected etc) where people usually seek private representation.

"A database of relevant information with a quality / spam filter, stuff which pulls in more information, some AI, a filter that throws out useless data, corrects itself based on previous performance, a bit which personalises the results based on the user, a bit which puts the data together in a useful format, and a bit that identifies and blocks SEO."

Reddit and google are both prior art, I think. But they forgot to mention that you are applying this general approach to pedestrians.
The amount of entertainment I got out of these classic games is in many ways the same, if not more than I get out of modern RPG and FPS games. The graphics have gotten way, way better but the fundamentals that make it fun are the same. In fact some modern games, even though they look great, they just aren't as much fun to play.

Those old games seem a little slow now because the bar has been raised as far as speed and eye candy. But the amount of thought and craft that went into them made them so much fun to play.

Once again, I feel like pointing out it's not only Europe. The US is just as insolvent, and whatever chain reaction might start from Greece can/will reach any Western country at least. Asia is in better shape right now.

Every time a country takes on more debt, it means it's failed to live within its means. Very few countries have managed without taking on more and more thin-air money year after year.

Western economies are just a huge intertwined clusterfuck. Don't think you're safe.
Rather an extension to your logical argument (not disagreeing or agreeing): Either men should take paternity leave to let the women work or then they should support the family financially.

More generally:
Having children costs something, because it requires work input. Who pays for the children? The men, women, families, their employers, the state (=also people who don't have children)?

> Three-years maternity leave? That's unheard of in western Europe, most countries allow for less than a year (my wife got 6 months in the UK);

9 months is the "baseline" maternity leave in Finland. My sister had a baby and ended up being away from work for almost two years. She just started working again this week, and the same company was legally obligated to take her back.
It would be fair if both parties had a choice. Neither does.
I hate to be grumpy old guy, but hell, there were articles in science magazines that predicted the same 40-year future -- only 40 years ago. Why do you think all those old sci-fi films put things happening in the early 2000s? Anybody remember 2001? Because that's when inter-system space flight would really be taking off.

There's a rule that anything impossible is always 20 years out. Perhaps a corollary: anything that's truly fanciful should be predicted for 40 years from now -- far enough away for audiences to have no idea of the practicality but close enough that most of them will enjoy reading it because they like believing such things might occur in their lifetime.
Australia will tax residents for offshore assets. Most countries don't. Of course, it's easier to cheat (as the banks overseas may not co-operate), but that might change with more international co-operation.
Afraid
Afraid = Feeling fear or anxiety; frightened; worried that something undesirable will occur or be done; frightened; scared; fearful; apprehensive

Example - Melissa is afraid of flying, so she takes a train from Boston to visit her brother in Chicago.

Usage in Sentence: Afraid of, not from.

Don’t say: Laura is afraid from the dog.

Say: Laura is afraid of the dog.
Hunter's rule: Any communication service which publicly displays a metric serving as a proxy for popularity will cause users to take steps to increase that number.

I'm sorry, but as a "ground rule", this seems just wrong to me.

There are many ways and many reasons to use e.g. Facebook as a communication service that have nothing to do with "being popular". Let me describe just one: I have a pseudonymous Facebook profile which gathers a number of people I have worked and played with before; some of them I know for more than 30 years already. Additions to this group happen, but are rare; these people are special to me, a status which is not for everybody. Each one in there is an important voice in my life, representing their values as they post their daily findings to my feed. Since I'm also all locked down against games and other apps, I have no problems with my signal-to-noise ratio being low.
Yeah, but he also adds: "Currently Iran is just the result of what happens if conservative fundamentals got ahold of the government of a country."

Well, not all can be explained by "conservative fundamentals getting ahold of the government". This amounts to "their people are really like us, it's their government that's bad".

There EXIST people/populations/countries that are conservative/unlike Americans in general, and have every right to live however the f* they want to.

Western media turn a blind eye to millions of Iranian/whatever people that WANT to live like they do, and RESPECT their country's ideals, and instead celebrate a few hundred idiots with tweeter accounts and blogs that want to live like westerners and are totally unrepresentative of the general population -- a lot of them sponsored by foreign countries (at least with lectures, sponsorships etc).

What exactly is specifically bad about the Iranian government that other countries have not already did, including the US? US has: the death penalty (including teens), segregation until, what, the 60s (!!!), 500% more black people in jail than white, one of the largest prison populations in the world, hollier than thou attitude, tons of fundamentalists and bible yielders, tons of wars around the globe to secure oil and resources, huge corrupted multinationals, some 20% of the population below the poverty line, on of the lamest popular cultures worldwide, PIPA, SOPA, the Patriot Act, detention and/or murder of foreign nationals without trial, etc...

"Now, many (orthodox) Muslims would consider lusting after women who are not your wife"

That's not -at all- what Sharia states. You can lust after any woman as long as any of 2 conditions apply :
(1) she is your wife (or wife-to-be)
(2) you own her. You can buy her. You can kidnap her into slavery.

You conveniently left out the fact that islam mandates slavery, that the vast majority of lust described in the hadith by your "moral" prophet falls into category 2.
When people talk about Iran it's more about the things that are, by any definition, wrong, than their traditional or religious choice. You simply cannot, in any modern society, discriminate against someone because it happens to be a woman, or throw stone at someone until they die because you didn't like his opinion. You can defend ideals, you cannot defend barbarism. Some of the things these people do (and others in various parts of the world) are uncivilized in any society.

Its a widely recognized fact here in Central Europe that the cheap good quality software developers offered by Eastern-European nations (Romania, I'm looking at you..) are a very competitive resource when it comes to tech growth.

While I agree with you, your last paragraph is just non sense. What's specifically bad? Honestly, if you ask this question you're shouting out that you have no idea what today's iran (or most of the muslim countries) are like.

Quite frankly, visit iran and see for yourself. A word of advice though: if you happen to be a woman, I would recommend taking my word for granted instead. Just my advice.

In Poland it works the same. For the first few years it's one month termination time both ways, then 3 months. But many people work on "junk contracts" that does not offer any such protection, and allow employer to pay less taxes (skiping social insurance etc).

We also have paternal vacations, but much shorter - 20 weeks to share between father and mother. And employers still complain that it's too much.

That's a good idea, and there is precedent for it working. Pastebot wouldn't ordinarily be allowed to run in the background, as it isn't one of the predefined types of background app. They decided to configure their app as a media player and play a silent audio file when they wanted to run in the background. Apple wouldn't allow this, but as long as they play audible music - so they are actually a media player - it is permissible.

You'd have to go to the trouble of building the functionality and submitting it to Apple to find out though, and you'd be running the risk of Apple changing their mind at any time.

Very interesting questions, I'll be happy to try to answer them:

1) yes

2a) yes

2b) It never lived, it was a "frozen corpse", and since you can make copies at will, just having a copy doesn't constitute a new life until it's run.

2c) If the original has been deleted at the same state as the copy is started, i.e. there's no interruption from the subjective point of view of the copy, then it's just a transfer.

3a) Since there's zero information difference, I'd say it is OK.

3b) They're two separate people with equal rights.

3c,d) No computing = no thinking = no life to speak of.

4a,b) The same as if you kidnapped someone from the street and convinced them to kill themselves (say, by drugging them).

4c,d) Very interesting. On the one hand, in case of many modifications, you can't really foresee the consequences, so all should be considered unethical to prevent unintended suffering.

On the other hand - what is human parenting and bringing up if not shaping (or "modifying") a not-yet-sovereign mind. And we have no problem with that. But then, what if some psychotic parent brings up a kid with an implicit conviction that he should kill himself upon reaching adulthood (i.e. legal sovereignty). We'd put them for life in jail. But what if a parent has no bad intentions, but is just a very crappy parent and his kid grows up to be very miserable and in his 20's commits suicide because he can't deal with life. Well, we could pass moral judgment on the parent (if we somehow had the knowledge and thus certainty that it was a result of bad bringing up), but we couldn't really convict them in a court of law.

So yeah, we're having a serious split here between moral judgment and what's practical. (Much like pro- and anti- abortion.)

So I'd say playing with the brains of sentient beings is unethical in general. Practically though, there's no way to stop a "virtual" person from running all kinds of crazy stuff on their private machines. Unless you want to police the internals of all such brain-simulating computers, but then you're conducting mind-control of people, and that's totally unacceptable.

5) Agreed, but I think if we engage in it already, we can get to some very interesting conclusions that we might find useful even in today's world.
I was not thinking about cookies, but simple account information and HTTP request information. And I agree that there is a difference between an account that I log in and a unique device id. But then, you need to accept a permission that the application can access the device id on android.

My main point is that the data that is collected here is not that different from what you get from an apache log: What type of (device, browser) the request comes from, what display resolution he has, the orgin of the request (ip,locale)etc.
Conserving Limited Creativity
Not necessarily. Let's assume the recruiter is paid a percentage (although in some cases they get paid more simply because you get paid less, let's ignore that case.)

First, you and the recruiter have a different BATNA. He just wants you to get a job, otherwise he gets $0 and you want to get a job that aligns with your goals. Those usually don't match up. I've been in the position of being offered a job and rejecting it, it was clear at that moment the recruiter and I had divergent interests.

Secondly, at the margin, the fact that the recruiter gets a percentage of the benefits of the negotation but usually shares equally in the costs of negotiating (every recruiter I work with proxies the negotiation), the profit maximization point for you and the recruiter are rarely ever at the same point. In fact, the recruiter will nearly always be willing to abandon negotiations and settle at a lower salary than you should. The same thing happens in real-estate. Offering and counter-offering for 3 days over 6% of $3000 is a lot different than 94% of $3000.

Maybe I am wrong. Also, I am not saying the recruiter that wrote this is incorrect. I am just saying that I hold his advice under the strong light of scrutiny. I hope I haven't crossed the line into ad hominem fallacy by doing this.
Highly unoriginal and full of common tropes. I bet the next big thing will be something that (almost) nobody saw coming.

Precisely. If you get too aggressive with combating this, you're locking out everyone whose machine or connection isn't up to some arbitrary technical standard. You might decide that dial-up no longer matters to you, but what about mobile?
Having one party know critical information about the other party in a negotiation, but not vice versa, gives the knowing party a big advantage. I think stating your current salary gives the other negotiator a pretty good idea of how low of a salary you'd take, which you don't want to put out there right away.
When I was giving interviews, I'd have the candidate bring up the code sample that they submitted on their own laptop, and start making changes. If I found any bugs, I'd ask them to fix them; otherwise, I'd extend the problem in some way that their existing code didn't anticipate and ask them to change their code to meet the new spec.

Not only did I find this very helpful in evaluating prospective employees, several people that we hired told me later that it was the most fun they'd ever had in an interview. That is, of course, a biased sample; some of the people that I interviewed obviously did not find my interview style entertaining.

The litmus test that I generally used was whether they were able to, given an erroneous output of their own creation, they could reason about why it happened and fix it before the hour-long interview slot was over. Also, if I (watching over their shoulder) couldn't spot the cause of the bug, I considered that it was probably unreasonable to expect them to be able to find and correct it during the interview.

While I encountered a lot of candidates that froze in the face of compiler errors or started making changes without stopping to think about what the cause of the error might be, I never once got the feeling that anyone was less familiar with the code that they submitted than someone who had written it themselves.
I remember reading a story about a wealthy Australian that went to court regarding his offshore assets. The assets were under a trust that locked him out of making any decisions, automatically triggered when he became a defendant in such a court case.
To answer your question:

If some countries that have capital punishment don't get civilized by the time we have human-level AI, then yes, that would be logical. There is no difference between a mind run on a biological brain and a silicon brain. Killing either is murder.
