That particular story seems like reasonable behavior on the doctor's part. But my personal experience has been that no doctor has ever brought up anything but pills to treat any condition I've had or my wife has had (and we'v

Not that this is a simple answer politically, but every time I see an article about whether we should use water on almonds[1] or alfalfa[2] or six endangered fish, I wish we would just price water more appropriately, and let more valuable u

Your posting of this a little while back has caused me to think to myself "Geez, 'Principle of charity' would be useful here" over and over and over since you originally posted that. Really useful name to put to a concep

I've tried quite a few things and the most useful thing for me has been https://www.headspace.com/ . It's "daily" guided meditation (that after not too long is barely guided). The narrator's voice i

Just to clarify: I think you're saying that the best societal answer is what you suggest. I agree (as I agree with eitally). The best if-you're-pregnant-right-now solution, though, is different, since currently very few hospit

Wow, I'm surprised how powerful that effect is. I only played for a couple minutes (very cool), and I think it's been about a minute of my vision waving.

Really good stuff, really nicely done, I love it. And good pre-Christmas launch timing :) Small issue: I grabbed an .m4a, uploaded it, and the screen just sat there. Console errors and whatnot. Didn't take a rocket scientist to guess t

There's definitely some inconsistency here. An even larger issue is probably that the way Yelp calculates ratings for a business isn't a straight average, it involves a notion of a prior expectation. I'd go into more detail h

Some notes about the data, and in particular differences between how it's presented here and its raw form via Yelp: 1. Businesses can be in multiple neighborhoods in the original dataset. In this version businesses can only be in one (

I read "Epidemic of Absence", a science journalist's survey of the research, telling of individual stories, and speculation about where the field could go. Super interesting. My takeaway was that there's clearly stuff ha

I get the blindness aura thing just before I have a migraine (which doesn't happen much anymore since I stopped accidentally suffocating myself with my pillow..). The experience for me is absolutely identical to that of a blind spot op

OP here. Notes: . Wasn't quite sure if this fit Show HN's guidelines[1]. Yes, it's something we built that people can try out (both getting the dataset together, which took a lot of work, and Statwing itself). But no, it&#x27
