Is there any sort of 1:1 syncing integration between slack and zulip? It would be awesome if posts in public channels would show up on either app, regardless which was posted -- would make transition easier for teams! And -- if there isn&#x

great unless you want to use it as a vpn to watch Hulu from abroad haha. They require you to use a set of specific providers, which are all blocked by Hulu. I ended up using openVPN on a home raspberry pi, but I want to figure out how to de

Hey -- I'm the founder of Pavlok. When trying to quit a habit for good, you follow the aversion protocol -- You enable the Aversion mode. 5 minutes a day of intentionally doing the habit, while the device zaps. This creates an aversion

What’s the most likely place to catch coronavirus? I would posit it’s probably hospitals. If an elderly person needs to go to a hospital for any reason these days, I would guess they get taken to one full of other elderly people with corona

Intrigued how your comment seems to imply that civilization will collapse no matter what before 2100. Am I reading that right? You truly believe there is an extremely high probability that the world will starve in the next 80 years?

I was in Berlin this summer for 2 months (Neukolln), in 3 different airbnbs and the water was not tasty, and was quite bitter. Very different compared to Swedish or Austrian or even Italian (florence) water.
