This is cool - is there any data you can aggregate on waterways traffic / the ferry system?

I would too. I believe the Sea Glider built by Regent Craft solves the take off in rough water component to some extent with hydrofoils. So you "taxi" on the hull in rough water up…

Can you elaborate on what I get with the free API?

I also haven't seen any here yet. I ride Citibike daily (Brooklyn and Manhattan) and would be wary of using the scooters because the roads are so badly maintained. It's already pre…

Someone in my coworking space is building a platform that does this in New York and Boston. It incentivizes departing tenants to be involved in the leasing process by cutting out t…

Sounds like you had a great driving instructor. Although I never had an experience like that when learning to drive, we did have to complete something in the UK called a "hazard pe…

Disregarding the sweetness angle, what's interesting is that we perceive the saltier solutions as tastier when we are dehydrated. If you try drinking an ORS product when you're not…

Potassium is also important, whatever mechanism you are losing Sodium (Sweat, urine, diarrhea, vomiting), there's a good chance you're losing Potassium too. Some ORS products also …

Perfect answer, relevant link for those that are interested: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC419333/

The most effective time to consume oral rehydration solution would be after drinking. Alcohol is a diuretic causing you to lose more water than normal through urine, and eventually…

Coconut water is marketed for hydration because it does have a relatively high electrolyte content, but it's mostly potassium with minimal sodium, so not as effective as an oral re…

Similarly, I've used the PixelBlock Chrome Extension and it works well. Very much a "set it and forget it" kind of tool.

This is really cool, the data collection part reminds me of those water fountains at airports that tell you how many plastic water bottles they've kept out of landfill - that kind …

Agreed - I liken it to my college experience: if you want to eat or drink anything other than water, or talk to other people, you go to the coffee shop. If you want to focus on you…

I have had a similar experience, but am still trying to find the right balance. I'm a little heavier than the average runner and was getting shin splints in regular running shoes o…

Just to add another perspective also working in America for a good employer: 1. Schedule with GP, get appointment very quickly. 2. GP has no idea who is "in network" for you and do…

I've never been evaluated but I don't think test anxiety fits in my case - the speed issue was only ever in math / physics. My accuracy on the questions I got to was very high, I j…

My problem with Math education was always that speed was an enormous factor in testing. You can methodically go through each question aiming for 100% accuracy and not finish the te…

Will Hivy have vendors built into the system? Allowing employee's to search for products they want and then have the office manager buy the items through Hivy seems like a great po…

Why the tubes? What are the downsides of using a standard stick pack format instead? I would think that's cheaper from both a materials and a shipping standpoint.

I've found options that don't require electricity and are easy to connect (no plumbing experience required) albeit with fewer features than a Toto. https://www.tushy.me/ is an affo…

I highly recommend the newsletter: the founder sends out a carefully curated and thoughtful summary of the previous weeks articles so you can pick out the one's that interest you. …
