As a cyclist and avid fan of pro cycling, I don’t see this being so useful for transportation from a dropped position back to the peloton or breakaway. As others have noted, team cars help, and often the distance to close can be handled by

Love this idea! I wonder how this could one day come to incorporate the true value of a coach on deck, which is to see the stroke and offer guidance. Some self-coached or remotely-coached swimmers film themselves underwater, which your syst

Having not thought about it at this level, the feedback loop explains why my Bullet Journal works well for me. I can write down any task and break it down to any level of detail without worrying about software, which is nice, and I get a ni

Oh yeah, it just took time. Pill-based probiotics didn’t seem to work, but food (or time) did after a couple months.

Yeah I agree that’s what happened to me. Alas, no tick, no rash, and I’m not sure my PCP in New York City sees a ton of Lyme. Still, I’m glad he caught it when he did!

Not a tangent! I certainly appreciate the semantics, and there seems to be some academic interest in the semantics alone! Some Lyme researchers would like to call it “Lyme Disease Facial Palsy” or LDFP to encourage practitioners to differen

I contracted Lyme disease while on vacation in Cape Cod last year. The first symptom was left-side facial paralysis, which my physician diagnosed as Bell's Palsy, so I spent two weeks on steroids before we figured out the real issue. T

Very interesting and well-explained. Given that the research has been out for two years, any interested data collectors have considered this! Forget hackers, this an exploit for enterprises and governments! Could websites concerned with pri

We spent a whole gray day at Bletchley and TNMOC and I appreciated the connection between Bletchley and TNMOC given the context of WWII. To me Bletchley is more about process, a metaphorical "Scrum room" of one of the most importa

The purpose of the article is persuasive but the HN title is ambiguous and reads much more expository. I’m a New Yorker who walks, bikes, and drives, in roughly that order and it was clear to me that the author is pro-bollard.

I work in news technology, including with many local news organizations, both corporate and independent, including in California. Google does not support all news organizations equally, and this seems designed to gain some leverage over org

As far as I'm aware, the state of play in tech is far more welcoming to formerly incarcerated people than this thread would imply. Justice Through Code at Columbia University is designed to place formerly incarcerated and criminal lega

Totally. During the early months of the pandemic when NYC was hit super hard, Samaritan's Purse set up a tent hospital in Central Park directly opposite the main campus of Mt. Sinai which was a marvel to see, I would run and cycle past

I feel like in the parent comment coup is sort of shorthand for the painful but necessary work of building consensus that it is time for new leadership. Necessary is in the eye of the beholder. These certainly can be petty when they are bal

I have a lot of Blackberry nostalgia; I was 23 in NYC, 2007ish, and my work-issued BB Curve (later a Bold) plus my personal original iPhone were a combination that I was so happy with. The Blackberry could tether to my early MacBook pro in

I want to endorse the process and maybe not worry so much about the result. I started on a similar journey in the pandemic of making pizza for my wife and kids every Friday night. They all receive their own (small) personal pizzas, which I

Lots of the comments here get at the reason, which is import taxes, but there's confusion about the impact of it on the high-end camera market. Most professional setups that use "still" cameras are running them into a video m

I participated in the clinical trial at Duke that's linked to from that story, which honestly was a blast. That the medics let this guy keep training is astonishing to me. If they measured his pulse ox and sent him back in anyways, tha

Yes. The first time it happened was in the Hudson River in the NYC triathlon. I thought for sure that I'd just ingested some sludge, and I went on to complete the race, after which I was sent to the hospital (I walked). My pulse ox was

Ha, fair. I love open water swimming and triathlon, and I can do it in not-cold water or a pool indefinitely, plus the Sildenafil entirely prevents it in cold water. Even without Sildenafil all I have to do is stop swimming and I'm ful

Off-label uses that appear to actually be effective include altitude sickness and prevention of SIPE (Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema). I take it for the latter, and it's remarkable. No Sildenafil = I cough up blood after just a few m

The boundary between useful advertising and word of mouth is exceedingly thin and contextual. When Uber turned off $100m of advertising and found no meaningful change to its installation growth, had it already won? Clearly not then and not

This works well for me, too. My wife is a teacher. I appreciate her schedule and her outside perspective on my chunk of the tech industry, and the diversity of our perspectives makes us a better parenting team. I also appreciate the income

As far as I know, CPA in most states requires 150 hours of college credit, of which many must be in accounting. My CPA friends largely joined the big four firm on the strength of their CPA, spent a little time in audit, then promptly switch
