Yup, that sounds like a badly wired myocardial pain circuit. There are well known instances, like the Markus-Gunn syndrome where the mastication commands projects onto eyelid muscles. Similar bugs may occur in other circuits. https:/&

There's a catastrophic "the map is the territory" mentality in the medical world that leads to that kind of attitude. Many (most?) doctors work as if their knowledge was exact and exhaustive, and every symptom that's not

Firefox for Mac has animation-related speed issues that don't occur in Windows, that may explain the discrepancy between your experience and the GP's.

This would indeed be problematic :-) The up/down vote buttons are plain anchor elements.

There's also an XMLHttpRequest wrapper for when they care about the response. This is used for write-only GET requests (with graceful fallback when JS is disabled since those are plain anchor elements).

This is neat (how the up/downvote onclick handler sends the info to the server). new Image().src = el.href; Where href looks like this: vote?id=xxxxxxxx&how=up&auth=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy&go

Something I wonder is if changing the rules around money could help align the short term incentives with long term outcomes. So we'd keep the "decentralized resource allocation" part of capitalism, but with hopefully better s

The DMCA is a US law, and fair use is a thing in the US. There are AFAIK specific provisions in that law regarding fair use, actually.

Those are two different kinds of connectivity. The first is about synapse density, the second about how strongly different parts of the brain are linked together (relative to one another). So a brain with a low average synapse density may s

Using painkillers (including CBD) chronically puts you at risk of developing medication overuse headache. Preventive migraine treatments are not painkillers (beta blockers, anti-epileptics, and more, among which the CGRP blocker described i

The problem is at least twofold: - some foodstuff is optimized for addictiveness, with far too much sugar, starting at the craddle. - nutrition science has been purposefully sent in the wrong direction for decades.

Actually, even though it started lower, Europe has been reducing its emissions at a faster rate. In 2014, Europe was at 63% of its peak of emissions, whereas the US were at 72%. The slope in log scale gives it away too (from the same data s

It would have been nice to have `let` work like `const` does, and something else for what is currently `let` (`mut`?). The TC39 was constrained by the list of reserved words though. `let` and `const` were reserved in ES5, and there was noth

Hi, Robin. Then you may want to say that `const` guarantees that the name will remain bound to that object. The great-GP is correct in that `const` has nothing to do with immutability besides that. It doesn't necessarily conveys an int

Wow TIL. I have a medical background, so I'm familiar with the "preventive" meaning, but I wasn't aware of the "contraceptive" one.

My bad, "exigence" is a French word whose meaning isn't exactly identical in English. To be exigent means to have a high standard. The verb "exiger" means "to require". English adds an urgency dimens
