Fascinating insight about how observation is so important to their work, and how the brain so keenly notices the absence of things (i.e. when you look to the side, your eyes look first before you turn your head) as strange, even if it wouldn't help you describe what is normal.


There's immediately a pop-up in a lightbox that you can't click out of besides clicking the little "x"... no thanks.

Intrusive ads suck.


I can't recreate this. (Yes, even with my adblockers off)


I got a different ad, viewing on Nexus 5 I get a non-video ad that fills my entire screen, but the X box is off the right of the screen and I can't scroll or pinch to view it & click on it to make the ad go away. Made the page completely unreadable for me.

(Going back and clicking the link again, I can now read the article.)


I can after (and only after) disabling my adblocker. Possible A/B test?

Its an autoplaying (but muted-by-default) video in a Lightbox.


had to search on google and come in that way.
