If a civilization wanted to spread its reach, interstellar travel and conquer is the worst possible way. We're highly optimized for life on earth, and can assume alien life would be the same for their home planet. Evolution from simple

The metro isn't that bad. I commuted from Hollywood to Torrance by metro/bus daily for a few years. The metro fare cost me more than gas actually but staying off the 110 was golden.

Just wait for IOT to merge with Learning. Then you'll have an internet fridge that thinks for you. Surely product managers, that's what we all want.

An anecdote on language that happened to me earlier today: I wrote an email and said I would re-transmit something. I made a typo and wrote re-re-transmit. "re-transmit" sounds neutral but "re-re-transmit" sounds passive
