Do you mean picasa?


I think that became Google Photos.


Digital Xrays save time, pain and radiation

Electronic health records

Cordless instruments save pain for the hygienist / dentist and angst of moving around a cord

Cavitrons reduce hygiene pain and do a better job of removing calculus

Invisiline gives a significant part of the population an option of not having metal mouth

Then there's better techniques, materials and various other things. Dental offices have changed quite a bit in the last 25 years.


^These are the things I was thinking of. I haven’t had any serious work (knock on wood) in years, so I can’t comment on anesthesia


They're doing that in Minnesota too. But that's it. Just removing the emergency declaration. No other solutions to what to do are being proposed, just removing the declaration.


I do a lot of hiring of fresh out of university people. The amount of 2-3 page resumes with their 9th grade achievements astonishes me.


Something like this format certainly makes sense for fresh out of Univeristy, since they should really not be going that long. But seems much less useful for someone with 5+ years of experience and several jobs. But I am definitely interested to see what other HR departments are looking for these days. Is this format attractive as someone doing hiring?


1 page for people with no to little experience.

2 pages for everyone else.


The key phrase is "my team would interpret it."

Everyone interprets HIPAA differently and based on a statement like: "Continuing to use Windows XP after 4/8/14 (or other unsupported operating systems) becomes a HIPAA violation if it’s not addressed in your security risk analysis[0]." You can run XP indefinitely as long as your IT says it's OK and they've "secured it properly." However, if they do get hacked or whatnot, they can get a fine if their security analysis wasn't good enough.

I don't recommend it. I actually despise it and try my hardest to get people to drop it. But in the end, I've had to deal with a lot of XP running IE8 systems that need connections to the software I'm in charge of. There's nothing I can do unless I get rid of those users and most of the time I can't because I have to "support modern browsers" as noted in the contract and the contract is with the state, not the individual users. Yes, the contracts will get updated to be more specific, but most of the contracts are on 5 year cycles.

State .gov contract work is amazing. /s

I can think of a couple of things at least in the prehospitalmedial field. Bluetooth ekg machines are used to do documentation and needed to have their data sent to the hospital as fast as possible. Also Bluetooth scanners are used to scan drivers licenses and triage tags.

The less manual input a provider has to do, the better. Then they can spend their time making sure the patient is being taken care of.

Most ems documentation is done on web applications instead of desktop apps so it can work on anything from an iPad to a surface to a tough book.

You don't want to know how these things are hooked up today.


Those are... pretty darn good examples, actually. Thanks!


The car actually did hit a bus while in autonomous mode. To me, it was an odd situation though. The lane the car was in was for parked cars as well as traffic and it was ending at a turn lane or something. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-video-google-car...


I'm 6'3 as well with a long body and don't fit in 80ish % of cars and I fit wonderfully in a Model S even with the sun roof. Heck, I could even pull off sitting in back if a 'normal' sized person was driving.

I am very pessimistic I will fit into a Model 3 though, especially with a car seat in back. My hope is to find a used S in a couple years.


When I was laid off in 2009, I got 2 weeks 'severance' even though I had 10 PTO days accrued. (They basically just paid out my paid leave). This was for a software consultancy business.

I would like to live in your 'normal'.


For the shadier dentists (and they exist), sealants don't bring in as much money as a root canal.

For everyone else, it doesn't help with cavities between the teeth where a lot of people get cavities. The sealants just sit on the upper side of the tooth.
