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 c…

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-…

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 wi…

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 …

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 we…

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 en…

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 me…

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 w…

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 equ…

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 de…

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. Sina…

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 …

What you're describing may be the sunk cost fallacy [ https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/the-sunk-cost-fallacy ].

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 w…

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. …

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 "s…

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 …

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…

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 S…
