4 年Nir, honest feedback here (and hope you don't take it the wrong way :-) . It took me a few minutes and quite bit of persistance to find the link to the actual article you refer to in the title amongst all the self-promotional content. And then, when clicking it the link to the best read, it takes you to the DIFFERENT article, which you wrote. I assume it's a typo, but together with the way this is designed, it makes me feel misled. As a result, I feel less drawn to follow your work and engage with you on more than a superficial level.?
