Sure school is for acquiring skills, but it's also day care. A place to keep children during the day so their parents can work, especially in a society where more and more the expectation is that both parents work.
The article is about college-level education, which is primarily about ranking students in order of who should get the best entry-level jobs. If technology is disrupting the effectiveness of that ordering function, then something needs to change.
There is evidence that the ranking of students in order of who should get the best entry-level jobs is done mainly by the college admissions process which bins students into more or less selective colleges.
Temperature on its own wouldn't be enough for life would it? Isn't everything moving around way too fast after the Big bang and therefore too far apart for whatever life there would be to find food (or whatever equivalent source of energy)
Temperature isn’t even close to being enough. If we didn’t have a moon, despite everything else being so good for life, we may have been stuck at the bacterial phase if we didn’t have tides, or life may have never formed at all due to minerals not being recycled, tide pools not concentrating amino acids, and constant wet-dry phases driving evolutionary pushes.
Edit: beyond that, there’s the need for a stable orbit, a stable axial tilt, a stable star (few mega flares), some kind of galactic shield a la Jupiter, and more.
I don’t believe it’s an overstatement. We have thousands upon thousands of data points showing life doesn’t appear outside of absolutely perfect conditions. There is not one single piece of proof anywhere which runs against this idea, it’s just the extremely outdated concept that earth isn’t special which makes it seem wrong. That concept hasn’t been valid for probably decades now, but it hangs on due to scientists hoping against all odds that we aren’t alone.
In this context it matters because Google maps shows only one website when you search for that pub, if the extorters put their website there first then you can't put your real one
Problem is you don't want necessarily to sell this to people you have frequent/consistent trips for, as you're getting a lot of money from that. Here you want to capture the market of people that aren't using the service, so it's not information from the app
Unfortunately I don't know any direct resources. I really do hope they are out there and some will share.
But if you're willing to hunt, I know that this idea was attempted before[0]. France and USSR had better success than the US. I'm sure there are still people working in this direction. I don't have children, but fwiw I've taught my nieces and nephews algebra and even some of calculus before they were 10 just in visiting time during vacations. They were bored and it seemed more fun than talking about the drama, politics, and religion that the rest of my family likes to spend most of their time on. Kids were similarly disinterested in that stuff lol. I've also seen my god{son,daughter} be able to learn these types of skills, so I'm highly confident it is doable.
