Enamelon Toothpaste from the 1990s:

"proven to strengthen tooth enamel" I remember researching the stock and deciding not to buy.

Patents from the 1990s https://patents.justia.com/assignee/enamelon-inc

It seems the company is still around https://www.enamelon.com

What about "Sensodyne Pronamel"? There is usually someone in the comments raving about its effects.

I think usually they rave about Novamin, which, at least in Canada, isn’t in the Pronamel line IIRC but in other Sensodyne branded toothpastes.

_EDIT: “repair and protect”_

This was a good comment thread on which brands or markets had what with regard to hydroxyapatite:

I can be that someone this time. The ”repair and protect” version has helped my low-level toothache.

I've actually been occasionally using Enamelon because it was recommended by my dentist for sensitivity and I think it actually works.

I'm going to try Boka as recommended above though, it seems like a more updated and modern solution.

Did you tried :D ?

Actually it was a huge tax addition in 2024 (from Europe over dispute about how Ireland had taxed Apple for many years). In 2024 Apple added 14.4 billion in additional taxes accrued over many years.

Car insurance costs more if you have bad credit score. My guess is that they have data to justify that. I think some states may have disallowed this practice.

Anyway that lends some credence to your beliefs.

Interesting, good job.

Minor suggestion: I would make the home page feed show popular stocks (so that it is more interesting to new visitors and also engaging to regular visitors). You could just pick 100 stock symbols or combine that with something like what you are seeing people search for (I would manually check the popular search ones - some may not make sense to add to the home page feed).

It could offer a couple options. One being the main view is like you are there. You see the court in a huge view in your main view. Then, similar, but way better than in person, you have several big views off to the side, for replays, stats, maybe following a view of your favorite player... I would think they we have a way to make it so your view (switches as the action on the court switches to the other basket). That will have to be a good design but just the idea of something like teleporting from your seat with a great view of this half of the court to now having it on the other half.

And for other sports even better I think. With say soccer/football and football (USA) you can have a big overview (like you are sitting at midfield) but then camera angles for closer view of the action...

I think sports viewing could really be incredible. Figuring out exactly how to do it well will take awhile. But it seems to me the kind of thing Apple could do very well.

Is there an app that monitors your apps to see if any have been sold to such unethical companies to alert you to delete your accounts with those apps?

That would seem like a useful app.

Frankly Apple and Alphabet should offer such a service but I don't have much confidence that they will.

This is actually really important for things like browser extensions.

Just use Little Rat to block unwanted call-homes, telemetry and stuff like that https://github.com/dnakov/little-rat

can apps see what other apps are installed?

At least on iOS, only with MDM profiles for managed devices tagged as company owned I believe.

I looked into subscribing because I don't mind paying to avoid the ads.

I don't like the spying that will go along with paying, given that it is Alphabet/Google. If they offered a plan to pay without the spying I would have signed up years ago.

I didn't try so I could be wrong but my guess is your payment will be tied directly to your login and so you need to have that login on the browser at all times to view the videos (without ads) and given all the decline of "do no evil" I don't trust them at all.

I also don't trust they wouldn't mess things up. I travel a lot. I paid for YouTube TV and the ludicrous junk they do to try and verify you are able to view things was a huge pain and failed quite a lot until it failed nearly always I and dropped it.

I imagine if they push me I will pay and then have to copy and paste every YouTube url into a sanitized browser instance only used for YouTube. But I don't trust Alphabet/Google to not constantly be attempting to use that subscription to improve and deepen their spying which annoys me quite a bit. I just trust them a tiny bit more than Microsoft (and I ditched using anything by Microsoft decades ago - other than my use of LinkedIn continuing after they bought it and very occasional uses of Bing to check on it).

How does subscribing increase their spying? Beyond the obvious that they now have your billing address.

You can watch Youtube incognito for free but you need to login to benefit from subscribing.

I'm afraid you are making a mistake in assuming that Incognito mode == no tracking. The only thing that Incognito mode does is not save any local history or cookies. This is mainly of benefit for people who share a computer and don't want the other users to see their history.

Tracking has long moved way beyond cookies and Google is absolutely tracking what you do in incognito mode and doing their best (which is highly effective) to associate the tracking data with you.

You'd have to assume history is actually deleted and not just simply hidden from the user. Pretty high bar to pass given it's Google.

I personally don't care for better recommendations. I just need a functional subscription/notification system and much much better search.

You'd also have to trust that YT doesn't track you in the incognito window, given that it's still pretty easy to identify an user and you're also most likely using Google's own browser to hide.

If you really don't want to be tracked by Google, you should probably consider not using their services.

Lol how cute people think deleting watch history has any real effect.

Also cute these people think using incognito does anything to stop Google from tying the traffic back to them. They already finger print you off hundreds of parameters. Hell most people are literally using their web browser.

A higher savings rate directed toward retirement-savings/pension and increasing immigration are two.

From the article: "Buying land is a major shift for Amazon, which historically relied on a handful of developers to find property, build fairly simple warehouses and rent them back to the company."

That is the news in my opinion. They were renting before, in the last 2 years they started buying a lot of land (they still rent a lot too).

I’d guess that Amazon doesn’t want to be at the mercy of landlords that jack up the prices. Rent increases can eat into your margin.

They probably weren't very experienced in the area of property development/management and decided to get some partners early on to help out.

I'm sure now their holdings are large enough to justify an entire property management division.

That and, "The new facilities can be 100 feet tall or more, are packed with state-of-the-art automation and require lots of electricity... The new facilities can cost twice as much to build as typical warehouses, which currently run about $200 per square foot. So Amazon is courting a new class of investor to help finance the expansion"

Their development model has shifted and the warehouses are becoming more advanced and specialized.
