Probably a feedback loop though. Like other addictive behaviours. There are many ways for life to go wrong, and only a few ways for it to go right.

It's useful in shopping malls, airports, train stations, car parks and so on. Anywhere you need to navigate a large complex.

Ah, more IP sclerosis. Great.

I wonder how the grading and assessment standards are for comedians.

I heard it's a joke.

Ha ha.

I do believe that humor and being funny can be learned, and thus taught. Everything from language structure, pacing, expectations (eg the listener builds an expectation or belief of what the comedian talks about, but in the last few words, it is revealed that you were completely wrong). Hm. I find I have a hard time expressing myself, I lack the words and terminology and frameworks I think...

Does it deduce everyone's name?

It does! I redacted them, but yes. This was a 3-person call.

A lot of this is due to differing heights. There are more tall vehicles with headlights that are high off the ground, which dazzle drivers of regular cars.

Even if the dip angle is the same (1% gradient or so), this can still dazzle most people nearby.

Vans and other bigger vehicles, that have the lights mounted higher than usual, are indeed particularly bad, but I don't really want to get into an arms race of taller and taller vehicles just to be able to see at night. Better that the manufacturers just angle it down a bit more if they want to put the lights up that high

I found there's a transition period where you eventually learn how to reach out via the internet to your remote peers and have good conversations.

Connection with any given person may be optional, but everyone should have at least some kind of social connections in this world.

The author seems to be pointing toward the freedom of not chasing connection out of insecurity, which is healthy

There's "producing paperclips" and then there's "increasing paperclip production". Then there's "making money in the paperclip business".

Huh. So it's literally "TCP over IP" like the name suggests.
