When I used to work in a lab, these types of reports were common and delightful to hear, but very few patients were as well informed and granular with their understanding as you are. Congratulations on your recovery!

Sure. When you're financially secure, it isn't a big deal to live out of your car and climb a few mountains for shits and giggles. But what does that have to do, prescriptively, with the reverse situation, when you aren't fin

Sure. This is a nice dichotomy. Until you add "living out of a car with your pregnant wife and 2 year old child" to the things you have organized your life to do. Humans are very adverse to ruin, and this has nothing to do with wh

I don't think you've really understood, because your contradictory response supports mine: Even when fictitious play is a good approximation for a real system (and they aren't because firms do not adopt static strategies), st

Player preferences aren't within the bounds of the rules of the game, though. You can have 100% knowledge of the bounds of the game's rules and still have a tremendous amount of difficulty in ascertaining player preference. The ar

The risk is substantial. Drafting standards are not equivalent across languages, and the translators are not legal translators. Legal vocabulary contains words that are terms of art which are then bastardized and changed in usage when used

Not sure why this is being voted down. A counterparty in an option agreement can become insolvent. This is typically analyzed under the name counterparty risk. Much much much less common than a stock going down, but when large counterpartie

Unfortunately, the evidence you've brought to the table actually doesn't agree with your position, but you aren't trained enough to understand it yet. Read the link you cited, specifically paragraph 5. Look up passing-off as

Private parties cannot request the moon. The test for interlocutory orders is HARD to satisfy, and involves substantial expense for litigants to raise. In Canada, if you lose this motion, you're paying half your opponent's legal b

The Supreme Court did cite the test governing the provision of interlocutory orders. That test is well known law from RJR MacDonald . There's a bit of a blurb regarding the case in my comment below, but you can look up the case and yo

I agree! This is part of why I am skeptical about the application of this law to other factual scenarios. The court is ruling in the basis of the absence of any evidence provided by Google to rectify the order. Had they pleaded the above la

I touched upon this, but honestly this is a very, very large subject that requires familiarity with the Berne Convention and TRIPS/ACTA in order to fully explain. In the Canadian decision, the de-listing order is contingent on that ord

I don't think your reasoning in the second paragraph is accurate. People aren't a uniform congealed mass of preferences that match your own. You don't like cooking. I do. It is really fun for me. I enjoy cooking new things an

Seems like a lot of non-lawyers are learning how competition law works and very upset that it also applies to tech. This thread, unfortunately, contains a very low-level discussion regarding what's going on because it is premised upon

The root of the issue is our neural biochemistry. Are societies are expected to re-engineer our brains rather than put addiction in context? Or are they expected to create societies where our reward pathways are firmly under their control?

Yet somehow the mining industry doesn't seem to have problems paying highly trained people to sit underground for 10+ hours a day sitting around explosives and heavy machinery. Perhaps you should look up Woofing.

Not sure what you're looking for specifically, but a quick search for Spinal Nerve (or bundle!) Processing will give you a ton of results. Restrict yourself to pub med or google scholar, because there are a lot of mediocre results. I t

The idea is akin to this: You have a cold, but you take medication to prevent it from hampering your work. However, this means you do not rest, which would cure the cold. The moment you stop receiving the medication, the cold resurfaces. In

This is incorrect. Even the spinal nerve bundle processes orders of magnitude more information just in keeping you balanced on your feet or chair. Perhaps you meant we only commit a few hundred bits of information to long term memory per se

Your position feels a lot like "why wouldn't they adapt to fit my preferred way to socialize and blow off steam?" When the default fits you, it sure is attractive to advance that idea! But what happens when you aren't? I
