Ask an Algorithm: Winter Sidewalk Etiquette

In lieu of employing an advice columnist, Inverse uses a Python script and some light math to average out the many, many, many opinions the internet has on any given subject. This remains an imperfect science.

Dear Algorithm,

I’m really sensitive to heat. I actually like the winter, but I hate that every building cranks up its heat — I’m fine outside, but I’m awkwardly sweaty when I go anywhere. How do I combat this?

Regards.
