Basically you go to several dentists and chose the conservative one - it is not that hard. Yeah, most of them are in so so neighbouhoods and have outdated equipment, but you wanted to have less intervention in any case, right?
Full stack is a generalist. They may have expertise on one area, but are functional in most areas. Also, full stack developers are typically found in simpler web-based applications that are CRUD oriented thereby allowing one developer to provide solutions across the different application tiers. Frameworks like RoR are what likely began this trend of “full stack”, but the environment is more fragmented now.

Any developers that claim to be experts in all of those tiers are likely delusional.
70 million!? Isn't that like 20% of the whole population? 20% of the whole US population has a criminal record?! I might be out of line here, and I'm sorry if I am, but it almost sounds like the US wants to treat its own citizen as a criminal.
Not to the best of my knowledge; even with battery backup, ion engines have so little thrust that spacecraft with them use a very different style of orbital maneuvers than craft with chemical engines. This [1] answer on Space Stack Exchange discusses how Dawn entered Ceres orbit using the normal thrust of its ion engines.

Yeah, let's not underestimate how common this is. Narrowing it down would be neatly impossible. And that's even considering parent was fully truthful which he might not have been to preserve anonymity.
I'm pretty sure the user experience of what you've described is drastically better than what we have with youtube.

What on earth would be the problem?
Vimeo is the SAAS solution.

AWS has primitives that you can cobble together into a solution. Assume Azure, Gcloud and probably others have something similar.
Tagging Along with Italy’s Unexploded Bomb–Hunters
Looks like this was published 4 days ago. Things might have been rectified since.
This discussion lead me to an idea:

When we simulate a brain, the brain is unreal, not running on the hardware at all. It's represented by something else running on the hardware.

If we made brain like hardware of sufficient complexity so that it could differentiate "itself" from everything else, that closed loop may invoke consciousness. It would be running on the hardware directly.

This, to me, is the one thing conscious organisms have in common. And yes, I know that idea of anything but us being conscious is highly debatable. Let's just say my cat is conscious, and I believe that it is conscious. You, of course, can disagree and that's fine. None of us knows anything, and we are all sharing thoughts and that concept below is mine:

To simplify, consciousness may require a feedback loop. The nervous system, brain and body all are integrated with sufficient complexity and fidelity so as to make it possible for the brain to arrive at a sense of "self", able to differentiate itself from everything else. Self-simulation is different from outside stimulation, and awareness of the body falls out of that for free.

This is why a simulation won't render consciousness. Whatever consciousness ends up being is not a part of the simulation. The very nature of simulation means it's all about things we know and at least understand exist. And since we do not yet understand consciousness, it's not going to rise as an emergent artifact of things we build.

Or... at the very least, we need to build something complex and robust enough for it to be able to differentiate itself from the greater environment it is in before we have a chance at consciousness happening for it.

This all does allow for consciousness to be computable. It's just that the computation needs to be done on a system capable of self-differentiation and awareness.

I don't necessarily disagree but good lord XKCD got awful preachy?? If you're so damn smart and witty and above the fray of petty bickerings, then you shouldn't feel compelled to lecture the bottom-feeders of the internet as such, unless you're self-important and feel as if you have a "duty" from your public soapbox to "put these people on notice" or whatever.
I’ve been working on markwhen as a way to easily create timelines just from text.

I’ve used it personally to help plan and coordinate my own wedding (https://markwhen.com/rob/wedding) and for keeping track of life events, and I’ve seen it used for event planning, project management, and to visualize historical events or periods of time.

I personally like tools that let you immediately start using them, and I set out to do that here with markwhen.

Let me know if you have any questions!
That's amazing. When so many companies go in the opposite direction, it's incredibly refreshing to see a company make strides toward reducing their customer's identifiable data footprint.
As neural networks become increasingly advanced I wonder where people will draw the actual line between "conscious" and "unconscious". A model can dream and produce unique art, play a game, and hold a conversation. It seems inevitable to me that some persistent implementation will eventually be able to pass as a conscious entity.
This does not apply. They’re european, a subpoena from the us government wouldn’t have any effect on them.
Nobody cares about that though. US is where all tech happens.
I wish I were able to help, I'm just not well-connected. Thank you for the work you've done, such a massive help to society.
This. I come from a family of dentists and they are very hesitant to drill unless absolutely necessary. Their rationale as I understand it is that all fillings, crowns, bridges, etc fail eventually. That anytime you attach something to a tooth you add a failure point and potential for infection.

The problem is their businesses can’t compete with the ones that play the insurance game. Insurance reimbursement rates haven’t kept up with overhead and so conservative dentistry is losing marketshare to ones willing to push treatment. We know multiple dentists that have filed bankruptcy in the last couple years.

Keep in mind that many people are very reluctant to pay out of pocket for dentistry. Until insurance reimbursement rates favor conservative dentistry, nothing will change. More responsible dentists will lose their practices or turn to over treatment.

Maybe the HN crowd wisdom has some ideas on how we can improve this situation.
Show HN: Automation platform with advanced monitoring and tracing for developers
As a long-time developer, I participated in many integration projects and we always had a recurring problem: monitoring and sending integration error alerts to end users. Based on 10 years and hundreds of projects, I created a platform that helps solve this, with several accelerators and cool stuff for developers. Some feedback would be great, if the tool makes sense and what we could improve on.
> Imagine a native English speaker who knows no Chinese locked in a room full of boxes of Chinese symbols (a data base) together with a book of instructions for manipulating the symbols (the program). Imagine that people outside the room send in other Chinese symbols which, unknown to the person in the room, are questions in Chinese (the input). And imagine that by following the instructions in the program the man in the room is able to pass out Chinese symbols which are correct answers to the questions (the output). The program enables the person in the room to pass the Turing Test for understanding Chinese but he does not understand a word of Chinese.

This strikes me as somewhat of a circular argument.

If you actually tried this experiment with current computers, you would completely fail to convince anyone outside the room there was a Chinese speaker in the room. You would definitely not pass the Turing Test. After a few sentences, it's pretty easy to figure out that a computer program isn't a human, even with today's best artificial intelligence. AI programs generally don't even "remember" what the previous question you asked was, yet alone hold opinions or beliefs.

If some future comptuer were able to convince someone that there was a Chinese speaker in the room, then I would argue that there would in fact be a Chinese speaker in the room - the computer program itself.

> The point of the argument is this: if the man in the room does not understand Chinese on the basis of implementing the appropriate program for understanding Chinese then neither does any other digital computer solely on that basis because no computer, qua computer, has anything the man does not have.

The man isn't the program. The man is just executing the program. It's the program that has (or doesn't have) conciousness, not the man. This is like saying a brain is made of axons, and an axon can't possibly be concious because it just transmits an action potential, therefore people can't possibly be concious.
That could be true, especially if one live streams 24/7. It might be a nifty proof of concept if they set up a live demo without a CDN on a bog-standard VPS provider like Linode, DigitalOcean, Vultr, etc... Does anyone here have this running in one of the VPS providers?
Is it? You can have no free will, but still be influenced by the words that come out of my mouth. Maybe in the process your life has less suffering in it. I don't know, I am experiencing a sensation that implies that I hope it does.
Is there such a thing as a truly private “masked card service?” I’m genuinely curious because I use virtual cards supplied by my online bank, but I’m sure they retain records for each virtual card I use. Are there services that do not record this information?
This reminds me of counter-arguments to Gödel's incompleteness: that the self-referential formula that you find is tied to a particular choice of Gödel numbering, and that is suspicious somehow.
> There is literally no legitimate reason why moisture on the bottom surface of an optical mouse should possibly have any effect on its operation or longevity.

Sure there is. You got a lemon with an unexpected gap in the base panel and electronics don't like water much. That happens; that doesn't mean it's a defect by design, and the shouting about it needs a lot more substantiation than "well have you heard of this thing in another industry entirely?". Tolerances exceed, stuff breaks, warranties are sometimes necessary. This sniffing about capital-P Planned capital-O Obsolescence when this stuff works in the main quite well for a lot of people (and, as mentioned, my own pretty wide array of hardware from them) has a long road to hoe to substantiate it.

You buy a dishwasher once a decade or so. You buy mice rather more frequently than that. From where I sit, there's more incentive to hand you a decent product so you come back and buy another from the same manufacturer--and, as it happens, that's much of why most of the input devices kicking around my house and my studio are Logitech, because they're generally a decent floor of quality.
Wow, thanks a lot! I agree that I handled the situation very badly. The articles you refer to are exactly the guidance I had needed to learn the lesson less harshly. Sometimes I got advice from senior folk about how to navigate a workplace, other times I played by the ear.

When I was working in an office environment, not from home, I often could ask around for advice, get a hint about approaches to different people. It was more of a challenge when remote only.
When a public blog post refers to an incident that would almost certainly be widely reported if it actually happened, I don’t think it’s sad that readers would expect to find mentions of it on Google.
I think a much better example of YouTube degradation is the Act Man debacle: https://twitter.com/TheActMan_YT/status/1534648758780035072

Unfortunately, YouTube is a de facto monopoly in its space which is backed by its daddy's search monopoly, so it will be very hard for alternatives (be it competing services or p2p solutions) to become viable even if the degradation will become obvious to everyone.

The most realistic hope regarding YouTube which I have is that combination of factors will allow/force the US establishment to force split of tech giants similarly to how it was done to AT&T. Without it YouTube will continue to enjoy its dominant position with minimal oversight and accelerating abuse of its power on information consumed by populace.
Good advice. There are a few nice tools out there to support technical writing. I think one of them was featured on HN a few days ago: vale.

This is a tool that allows for applying simple regular expression based rules to enforce style rules. The idea is that you can tune this to your needs and cover all sorts of stylistic rules. For example, gender neutrality might be a desirable thing in the documentation for some tech companies and you can get it to flag things that are clearly not gender neutral.

Another thing worth mentioning is Jetbrains Grazie Professional (warning it's different from the normal grazie plugin, which is confusing), which actually integrates vale and can be used as a plugin for editing both code comments and markdown files in Intellij and other Jetbrains IDEs.

In general, treating text like you would treat programming code as a thing that has rules that can be figured out and enforced is a good mindset. I learned to write coherent text while doing my Ph. D. a long time ago. At some point I figured out that anything I'm doing consistently wrong, I can just learn to do consistently right. I just need to be open for criticism and figure out why something is wrong/not ideal. You kind of learn to look for things that you've done wrong before in your own text and then you fix it. A lot of these rules aren't rocket science. You just need to know about them. There's a whole grey area between grammatically correct and stylistically pleasing/acceptable. Having tools point out things that are likely problematic helps.
Why is this so highly upvoted?

> Google’s little company deleted all the files, after they saw the April university lectures by myself, Gayle Rubin, and other On Our Backs artists. We don’t know if there was a complaint, or it was just their usual harrow of ever-changing terms and conditions.

It's literally wrong, lol. You can go on YouTube and find these lectures yourself. If people on here are susceptible to such blatant misinformation then maybe there's no hope. YouTube can and does actually delete videos - if this is what happened they'd be gone (even if the account were restored). The fact you can see the videos in question means the author is wrong.

Furthermore, where's the proof that it was ever taken down to begin with? Archive.org is a thing. People just believe anything they're told huh.
In that case are downvotes censorship too?
Yep, this has been going on forever. That's why the Spritely Foundation and Project were created to put all the knowledge on this subject to use in a standards effort.

Who are you using now?
Bigger sensors and bigger lenses are exactly what would solve those core problems. Even after video call compression (which is not always extreme) it is trivial to tell whether a video was taken with a big sensor/lens or a small one. Compression is no reason to use a crappy camera. Garbage in, garbage out.
Exactly. The US needs strong, sensible, strict privacy laws before they pass legislation that would be detrimental to millions of Apple consumers who bought the iPhone for Apple’s monopoly.
"there will come a time when it's trivially easy to write a full app in the browser via wasm"

This will be facilitated by libraries and frameworks that do all the low-level heavy lifting for the developer, who'll be able to concentrate on higher level concerns.
Okay, but they also found that the allegedly "terminated" Cornell University Library account seems to be… not terminated. The point of the Google search is to find accounts corroborating the claim that it actually had been.
What did you learn
'Solend' not Solana itself. That is why the title in the article says 'Solana DeFi Protocol' and not the blockchain itself doing the voting.

Is this what it has gotten to with editorialising?
This is what Jordan Peterson refers to when stating that Postmodernist claim about reality having an infinite number of objects that can be interpreted in an infinite number of ways is a fair valid claim.

And nature, somehow, made us evolve with the machinery optimized to adapt to a finite number of interpretations.

Hence, our cognitive machinery is made up of "Maps of Meaning" that with a finite number of meanings, make feasible for us to navigate the infinite sea of ignorance of what we can't make a sensical meaning of.
I pay 250 / month for a parking space in an underground garage. That's close to the upper limit from what I've seen. Usually, the prices start around 100-150 for a dedicated parking spot outside.
Yeah that seems like a really click-baity part of the article, like she used some internal thing to pull it off. It appears she just worked at AWS at some point before she downloaded the data.
Zuckerberg Wants Meta Headsets to Eventually Pass ‘Visual Turing Test’
I spoke with a CapitalOne employee after this hack who was involved in "cleaning up" the security. He wasn't allowed to discuss specifics, but he did share some fun facts:

The hacker was very smart

The hacker chained together "about 6 or 7" different exploits to get to the data. Note, this means it is much harder than "leaving an S3 bucket public"

The hacker tried to sell the data, but couldn't find a buyer before being found out

It's a fine feature for a company to say "we don't owe anyone their right as a US citizen to 1st Amendment 'free speech' but we'll certainly offer it because we think it's good (and profitable, obviously.)"
It is above all a changing thing. Everybody seems to be coming around to the idea that you don't have to routinely remove wisdom teeth, but it's still commonly done in Belgium and probably other European countries as well.
A few years ago I went for an initial screening to 3 different dentists and was shocked by the gap in suggested treatments. One wanted to do major work on like 11-12 teeth, another just fillings on 2. It made me lose all trust in American dentistry and I ended up going to get work done at a dental school instead because I knew it would be supervised by professors who are not optimizing for their bottom line.
I don't think it's awful. As he says you shouldn't publish your text that way. In editing phase you will merge one line sentences into paragraphs.
The whole idea of individual responsibility is built upon the fiction that there is an individual there to take responsibility.

> if the Israeli state didn't exist, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Jewish people in the region would likely be murdered by people from neighboring countries. This isn't because Arabs are "innately" warlike or antisemitic (I don't think that's true) but because the states in the region are deeply corrupt

Are you sure? I mean, it's a well-established principle of international relations that the people of a country get to decide what happens to it - this is why the Germans were expelled from Europe after the war.

My understanding is that the Israelis had to remove some people to make way for their state - doesn't this apply to the Palestinians too, if they want their land back? Or am I missing something, did they leave voluntarily because of dissatisfaction with the government etc?

Genuine question, just asking.
So this person has been banned in every single platform. Maybe instead of arrogantly wearing this statement as some sort of medal think about how the community guidelines reflect some sort of shared values and being ousted again again might be a sign of you being an asshole above anything else.

> Dentistry is practiced as a business focused on maximizing revenue.

All medicine is practiced as a revenue maximizing business (or it would cease as an ongoing concern). It's easier to see this in dentistry since at some early point in the US the field/cartel opted out of many of the omnibus health payment plans that otherwise obfuscate value chains. Aside from the notable exception of tobacco cessation, disease prevention gets short shrift compared to intervention. This is slowly changing but has started from a tremendous deficit.
I get notifications on mine just fine, even with suspend.

Dino generates notifications when I get messages, mutt rings the terminal bell when I get email (if I cared I could pretty easily have it generate a toast notification too.) If you treat the thing like a desktop rather than a phone then most of the software will "just work" occasionally needing a small amount of glue to deal with things like the suspend/wake cycle to save battery life while still allowing for notifications etc.

The Pinephone is very much the "just install gentoo" of phones. Most people who actually use it are going to have radically different configurations and experiences.

In the UK, loads of people are desperate to get an NHS dentist. When slots become available they are snapped up immediately, often by people that are more than capable of paying privately. I would suggest many would prefer the socialised system, perhaps because the over treatment is less likely to happen.
