You're absolutely right

All they had to do was not air a very expensive superbowl commercial

Are you thinking of the Ring camera commercial or did I miss a flock one during the same Superbowl?

The commercial was essentially announcing their partnership with Flock

It's interesting that the request refusal rate is so much higher in Hindi than in other languages. Are some languages more ambiguous than others?

Or some cultures are more conservative? And it's embedded in language?

Or maybe some cultures have a higher rate of asking "inappropriate" questions

Arabic is actually higher, at 1.08% for Opus 4.6

A bit similar to "Expect the worst, hope for the best"

I always expect a reversion to the mean and hope I'm right.

So what's the immich equivalent for file sharing

Shouldn't they be required to offer a work phone if they require you to install an app on a phone? It may depend on where you live

My company provides us with a $100 a month cell phone stipend instead of giving us phones.

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.

Exactly, it would only work if you have enough sway with your boss and the willingness to take responsibility for the hire

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.

"Need" may be overstating it. Those things certainly all seem to have helped, though.

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.
