    Definitely. It has been my goto for white|brown|pink noise for a year now. Even the animation on the terminal looks a bit like "waves". [1] Could you please share any other example…

    The mission of Cloudflare is to build a better internet. In what ways does blocking nameserver changes help build a better internet? It actually builds a worse internet. One that i…

    It might be a couple of months. The open sourcing of Cloudflare workers was announced in May and still has not been released. [1] [1] https://blog.cloudflare.com/workers-open-sourc…

    Have you viewed the alumni of the B.J. Fogg Behavior Boot Camp? [1] Have you considered why people fork over a hefty sum to attend those bootcamps? What do you think their behavior…

    B.J. Fogg is not necessarily someone to look up to in this area either. He followed a very similar flip flop trajectory and is frequently quoted in the post author's first book on …

    A better solution could be hacking the supply side by flooding the market with fake ivory indistinguishable from real ivory. The price of ivory should go down. There will be less f…

    I am definitely not being sarcastic. Sorry to hear that was even a consideration. The article you posted has a lot more epistemic value. In contrast, the article in this thread is …
