Oh heck no, you act as if implants are a simple, permanent thing. I worked at a series of offices that specialized in implants long before they were a fad and whom pioneered techniques.

The reason they sell well with old people is that the patient will be dead before the lifecycle of the implant is up.

There are SO many things that can and do go wrong placing implants, especially now that every corner dentist is using them as a profit center.

Bone loss, gum recession, rejected implants, nerve issues, poor aging of crowns in both color/quality, and a million other things make implants far from a simple solution.

A full set of implants is easily over 60k often times up near 80-100k, and a huge number of full mouth implant patients had to come back due to complications (and our offices had lower complication numbers per implant.)

If it weren't for the bone loss thats hard to get back, implant supported dentures are almost a better way to go.
This is exactly true. Any tips how to identify companies that welcome this during interviews? (Or companies that don't.)

I wouldn't have considered myself as having "hubris" but I have a kind of semi-wild enthusiasm for being able to do things that people have reacted badly to before for exactly the reason you said. I'm not sure how to signal to companies "my deal is I want to do things; I will more or less literally jump off my seat to assist anyone and no job is beneath me and I will stay up and work 16 hours straight if I screw something up; but I'm not really good at hearing no".
That dentist saw a goldmine - often times the "pull it all, implant" solution is the price anchor on the top end.
How did Boeing decide to kill the 757 and to continually delay the "New Midsize Airplane", and to progressively extend and modify the 737 until it reached 757 size in the 737 MAX 9?

I would bet good money that there is a wonderful book to be written about competing design teams, rival marketing plans, and mahogany row politics at Boeing about events resulting in the MAX kludge.

I think Sinclair Broadcast Group is a big one, but I am just going from what I've seen when I went to visit my friend who had one setup. All the commercials were preying on people's debts, advertising for high-interest rate car loans, payday loans, those shady schools with financial assistance, etc. The show he was watching was a violent cop show where the "good" guys were literally corrupt and involved in organized crime. They were glamorizing cheating, stealing, hard drugs, etc. I couldn't stand it. Maybe I was too high, but it really creeped me out.
Ask HN: Net or Java for cross-platform desktop application
I'm starting a project to scratch an itch of mine and I'd like for it to be available for all 3 major desktop platforms. This is the point in projects where I seem to have grown a big case of Analysis Paralysis.

I have decided to use a web UI for a desktop app. My current research leads me to .Net/Nancy/Kestrel, or Java. The UI will be a self-hosted SPA talking to localhost. I am concerned about users on non-Windows platforms reluctance to use dotnet core and also to less technical users on Windows needing a current Java JRE installed, since I fear it may have fallen somewhat out of favor. I think a large portion of users would be part of an enterprise.

My preference, at least for development, would be Java but that's because I have much more experience in Java than C#/.Net.

I supposed I could do it in Python, but I'm not nuts about the deployment story for folks listed above. I'm not interested in Electron.

I thought I'd see what HN had to say about the choice.
I dunno. It's hard for me to see a year (say) of a foreign language that's never used outside of that class as having a lot of value. As I dimly remember my high school language classes, you didn't even really get into literature and culture associated with the language until later on.

On the other hand, a year of a language like Python probably has some value in teaching logic and problem-solving even if the student never really programs in the future.
I disagree. Articles like this do have something interesting to contribute. They're for sure of historical interest, and to some subset of readers, perennial interest. Gurdjieff was a fascinating character who attracted an astonishing circle of followers. You've heard about the obscenity trial of Ulysses? Jane Heap was the publisher who got tried for it [1]. A.R. Orage was T.S. Eliot's favorite editor. These people were at the heart of 20th century modernism. Before that, his Russian followers were at the heart of the Silver Age, an equally interesting period. Words like "charlatan" and "guru" don't open any of that up—they shut all of it down.

One assertion the article makes that I'm skeptical of is that the price of the phone used to be hidden in the monthly cost of the plan but no longer is. I have no evidence, but it definitely feels to me like my cell phone bill has been going up steadily and that there is no "phone sold separately" discount. I'd really like to see some numbers on whether the service cost has really decreased in real terms by the amount of the cost of the phone over two years.

Side note: the Gold Rush idiom of "seeing the elephant" had spread nationally by the 1860s; Civil War soldiers on both sides used the phrase to mean they had direct combat experience. A veteran who had been shot at and lived would be said to have "seen the elephant."

> What blew my mind watching the Theranos doc was that Holmes would have had an easier time of it by just doing the hard work of actually solving the problems in her way.

This assumes the problems are actually solvable, though, which becomes less likely the grander the vision gets. And when you're chasing the types of investors Theranos was, there's little incentive for you to keep your vision moored to reality; these investors are all looking for Big Hits, so the more anchored your pitch is to nitty-gritty things like what is actually possible, the less appealing it will be to them.

There are a lot of famous books on the subject of best practices: "Code Complete" and "Clean Code" are the first to come to mind, but I'm sure the folks here can recommend others.
It's a matter of modifying both the logic board and the chassis to accommodate the different components. It has a reasonable cost and also requires substantial modifications to the existing accessory ecosystem and product lines. Even the smallest changes have deep and profound economical ripercussions at these scales, no matter how small they are. Companies like Apple invest a lot of money on designs and they want to stretch the amount of times they use them as long as they can.
There's no substitute for direct experience.

You can rattle off quotes and documents all day, but this doesn't teach 1% as much as the direct pain of dealing with st on the job.
> You should be careful using allusions when you don't understand their origins.

Even if I tried, there is literally no way I could possibly self censor myself enough to avoid offending everyone on the internet.

These types, of threads based on offense are a waste of time:

1) If the person claims to be offended, you can't refute that because the offense is an internal state that they claim they are experiencing.

2) If the claim is that someone else maybe offended, then you also can't argue against that because now you are debating on an inference for which there is no firm evidence.

It's like those endgames in chess where you wish you didn't have to move.

Even by responding to this, I lose, because I will be likely down-voted for not being sensitive enough, even when no offense was ever intended.

However I can flip it on you. Go and find proof that I intended to offend with my comment.
See my post a little bit up - you're totally right. I saw it from the dentist PoV and theres a lot they don't tell you - let alone that most dentists should not be let near an implant.
Cool, ty! Seems similar to DataScript.

"I have a proven track record of executing relentlessly, rapidly delivering value, and moving between internal roles effortlessly. What challenges are you facing I could contribute to in a meaningful way?"

Be more comfortable hearing "No". Trust takes time to build.

IMHO learning to code is quite similar to learning enough of a foreign language to be able to explain to a tourist how to get from point A to point B. Turn left, keep walking until you see the yellow building, then go right, etc. We just instead learn how to give instructions to computers in the language they can understand...

Let me just start by saying I am entirely on the restaurant's side in this, and believe that this just another attempt at vendor lock-in from OpenTable. Restaurants have been fighting for customer control with OT for a long time, and at the end of the day, I'm fine with the restaurant, who actually see me in person, talk to me, and serve me the food, keeping notes on me to improve service. OT, less so. I'm not particularly personally concerned about privacy in this space, but it seems much better to have this data split up in the hands of the people who actually see me in person, rather than the faceless tool trying to aggregate my behavior.

To add some color to this, I recently was shown my customer notes by the GM at a medium-high end Michelin starred restaurant where I've been a regular for a long time. There's some basic notes from the early days about the name of my partner I was dining with, and food allergies and preferences. There's also a long, long list over several years of every extra dish that was sent out (I generally get 2-3 extra courses at this place), with the goal of not duplicating those courses. The notes have tailed off for the past few years because, probably because everybody knows me and has chatted with me at this point, so they know they can just ask me for whatever, and that I'm a pretty easy customer.

So like I said, I'm comfortable with this level of information in the hands of the restaurant. Pretty much everyone I've talked to in the industry is interested in this information strictly for the purposes of better service - nobody has grandiose plans of ever using this data outside of their own restaurant. OT provides a nice service in standardizing and simplifying the reservation process, but I'm inclined to think this is an power grab to try to force restaurants to stay within their ecosystem - and frankly, at the end of the day, I don't much care if OT lives or dies, but I do care about my local restaurants.

It's not my analysis. It was Oracle's well paid lawyers' analysis. Do you have insight that they didn't have to come up with a more accurate number? I'm sure if you do, Larry Ellison will be glad to hear from you.
I do think the narrative is propagating a false sense of easy to achieve story, considering the founder wrote a lengthy note of self-reflection. Very sad to see this narrative this removes the faith in the founder's earlier reflection. Creating a successful business is never easy, you could get lucky, but you rarely get that lucky. This kind of article makes it seems all rosy.
Github was always very reasonably priced. It was only a free service to support free software. It's a shame it's not still like that imo.

No, only if you get implants (and they are done right.) Bone still recedes if you have a denture or bridge. Its such a common issue that dental software ships with a video to show patients this.

But do they replicate how that "original data" was generated or gathered?
Blog posts other developers make detailing the way they've built a particular project have helped me gain some perspective when looking to understand how people are working in a particular stack. Learning from other projects is good for understanding how people are using contemporary tools. Github is also a great source for this, you can search with those tags to find relevant projects. As for software engineering in general, there is more academic materials which cover various methodologies ( you can just search software engineering and find many resources ). There are so many resources out there; I don't personally have a systematic way of navigating it. Once I find a good resource, I tend to look at what else the author has done and who else is connected to that author and then I walk around what that social circle's body of work, picking up various things. Finding the sages in a particular area, finding out who really knows about the area I'm studying at the moment, then learning from them... all starting from Google searches and some sleuthing.

It's also extremely well known especially in environmental economics, if not well understood / solved: it's Jevon's Paradox (more efficient use of a resource can lead to an increase in demand which causes an increase in total resource consumption).
It varies widely among airlines, the last time I booked United for SFO->SEA (a 2 hour flight), they wanted $89 for "economy plus" and ~4 inches more legroom. And even with the extra legroom, the seats are still quite narrow and I have a hard time using a 15" laptop and still keeping my elbows within my armrests.

I think I paid $29 for the upgrade on Alaska Airlines (though you need to do your research, since depending on the plane (Alaska, former virgin, Horizon), you may not get more legroom, just a seat closer to the front and maybe a free cocktail.
The expectations vary mostly depending on a few things, IMO:

1. Life stage of the company (startup vs. mature)
2. Role (rank-and-file engineer vs. leadership)
3. Your management

Location has had less to do with the number of hours worked than the items above.

Startups tend to demand more of their staff because it's an existential problem they're trying to solve - become profitable/acquired/public before you run out of money or someone squashes you. Expectations there will be >40 hours pretty much across the board, and will favor single, probably white men.

Mature companies can also demand more of your time, but typically they are easier places to find roles that will not demand much more than 40 hours a week.

With those things said, you could be working for a SOB that simply demands your presence to prove you're doing the most work possible, and in those cases you should decide whether you value your paycheck or your health/sanity. I've been there and choose health/sanity 100% of the time. Burn out just once and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Not to diminish the role of the FAA in this, but do other nations not do their own certifications of new aircraft? Is it a nation of origin thing? e.g. Boeing is regulated by the FAA and everyone trusts the FAA, then Airbus gets regulated by EASA and everyone trusts EASA?

>Is gravity a force, or is it an acceleration? Each is a fact in its own theory--the more relevant question has to do with your situation: which theory is more useful?

I would call that a model, not a fact. And, as the saying goes, all models are wrong.

If it's impossible to do an experiment that shows one model to be better than another in a situation, then the choice is meaningless. Both are fine.

A bigger problem is when and how to rely on "subject experts". My car mechanic knows far more about cars than I do, but he/she may also be biased into recommending unnecessary costly repairs to line her/her pocket.

Climate change skeptics often question the financial motivation of climatologists. It's certainly something to consider, but they rarely propose alternatives.

For example, a committee could be set up to investigate climate change science. The members would be already-retired volunteers from non-climate STEM disciplines who get the same stipend regardless of their findings, and are not permitted to receive money for books or speeches on the subject afterward. Their background would have to be mostly apolitical, meaning any political opinions in the public record are fleeting and incidental. The selection process would be similar to jury duty.

Preventing climate change or even fighting its effects goes against a way of life people can't imagine giving up. It's a much harder sell. And people hope for solutions where they don't have to change their ways. So while vaccination has a known, cheap, and widely accepted solution, there is no such thing for climate change. There is no easy fix. It will cost us dearly, one way or another.

The thing with vaccination is that it's a small thing that really improved our lives. It's what brings down child mortality a good notch with little effort. We can't allow misinforemd people to take this away from us. The parents that don't vaccinate their children not only endanger their children but other people as well. As long as we haven't eradicated a disease, we have to spend ressources on the vaccination.

Success story: Polio 2 is eradicated. And there's only two countries (Afghanistan and Pakistan) where Polio is still endemic. Once these contries are clear, we'll be able to sunset Polio vaccination worldwide.

So while I may deplore inactivity regarding climate change, I'm really happy we're eradicating diseases. And I'm happy people care about it.
I'd love to see some (even contrived) examples of these. Sounds like it could fit into the culture at my current job.
