There's a saying that labels make you dumber and the (largely downvoted) comments mentioned in the article demonstrate this.
Another interesting one is the auricular tubercle[1], where the genetic trait of a "pointy" ear found in other mammals reappears in some humans.
Disable most notifications altogether, especially: email and any form of group messages (like WhatsApp group).
For 1-on-1 instant messages / SMS, display a silent notification.
For specific email, create a special notify tag and sparingly assign it to urgent threads and some sent messages. You can also use filters to assign the tag automatically.
Deny notifications for most apps.
All calls should ring. It may be something urgent even if you don't recognize the number. It may be someone close to you calling with a hospital phone before heading out to emergency surgery. It may be the police. This is why you don't want to default to blocking hidden numbers unless you really have to.

Indeed the victory for the AI here is the ability to convince the author to take immediate action. The second win for the AI is the concise one liner the author tells the triage nurse so that her further diagnosis and treatment may proceed. A regular human being would be likely to start with a long form story of not feeling well for some time.
> Back in the day, cops used to touch the tail lights of cars they pulled over in order to leave fingerprints as evidence. Reader’s Digest spoke with experts who said that the practice marked a car in case the stop went wrong — leaving evidence that the officer had been there:
> According to Nick Fresolone, a retired police-academy instructor with the New Jersey State Police Academy in Sea Girt, New Jersey, the “taillight tap” leaves fingerprint evidence on the glass of the taillight to prove that the officer was present at the scene. Ultimately, says Fresolone, if things escalate or otherwise go awry, the officer’s touch to the car’s taillight will have left a fingerprint in a place where investigators would know to look for it.
> Criminal defense attorney Joe Hoelscher says that this routine maneuver serves as a sort of breadcrumb left to prove that the police officer had approached that particular vehicle. “Leaving a thumbprint on the brake light is an old-school way to tag a car with a fingerprint, so it can be identified conclusively as the vehicle involved in a stop should the officer become incapacitated,” explains Hoelscher.
Font rendering with ClearType on Windows used to be so awful you had to install an external library[0] to get something closer to a Mac experience.
In contrast, single player campaigns (or co-op campaigns for that matter) are often story driven. They have a beginning and an end. They offer catharsis. If it's good, you may play through it again, but it will end eventually.
From a strictly subjective and non-technical point of view, aesthetics is one of Ubiquiti's merits.
