it'd be interesting to feed this into the same AI, and have it predict today's front page

xyclos commented on A new dental scam is to pull healthy teeth to sell you expensive fake ones   arstechnica.com/health/20... · Posted by u/pjmlp

I went to a new dentist when I was 18 because my other dentist was unavailable. He declares that I have two cavities and fills one, but doesn't use enough anesthetic. Given my bad exp with him I went back to my other dentist who's flabbergasted that there was supposedly a cavity on the other tooth. No sign of any decay.

These kind of experiences are why I try to vet a new dentist very hard before trusting them, even going so far as to getting a second opinion if the new one finds anything.

When I was 12, I was scheduled by my regular dentist to have two cavities filled. It was the first time I had anything negative in a dental checkup. We were very poor, so my dad was pissed that it was going to be almost $400 to get them filled. He found a different dentist that was supposed to be a bit cheaper, and I went to that one instead. He was shocked to hear that I had been scheduled for two fillings. Since I was a new patient, he did x-rays, which showed zero decay. The dentist that lied about me having cavities is still in practice today more than 20 years later, and has 4.5 stars on Google.

I fear there's not really a good way to vet Dentists effectively since most people probably never find out that they've been scammed for years. I'd love to learn some new strategies though.

I wonder how long it will take them to morph into a financial services company.

xyclos commented on Lab-Grown Meat Is Safe to Eat, FDA Says   smithsonianmag.com/smart-... · Posted by u/grogu88

Maybe some folks will enjoy this as a food product.

It's not clear to me that there's a real upside to this though, for folks who don't mind killing and eating birds.

Research I have seen (you can see it too: [1]) indicates that chicken, dairy, and legumes are all about as low-impact as it gets when it comes to protein sources for humans.

As other folks have mentioned, scaling up the meat lab causes a lot of headaches because the lab meat doesn't come with its own immune system the way a chicken or a cow does. Headaches in the form of increased operating costs and energy inputs.

eventually shifting public opinion, and growing the subsection of people who "mind killing" seems like a major upside.
