It depends on the country also. In the UK for example, Repair & Protect uses novamin but in the US it just uses stannous fluoride.

There is an interesting podcast called Lazarus Heist that covers this stuff.

Any idea why they would ship such an old version?

It should show your phone in the "Integration" list and then you can just disable it.

I agree that it shouldn't be like this just by installing the app.

What about:

https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04885530?term=Ivermec...

There are several more running too, but this one is aiming for the largest amount.

It depends on the feature. For things that involve material changes to your app or a feature that you don't want Apple to be surprised about, usually you will include user credentials in your submission that have that feature enabled and give them a heads up. If's a smallish feature, you don't usually sweat app review. It's obviously not a perfect system.

Apple has a much more traditional engineering structure and traditional release cadence though. A lot of the "worst offenders" of these types of release notes are structured and work much differently. They release updates 1-2 times a week, sometimes release features weeks after the code has shipped to users, and sometimes in stretched out rollouts.

They say there if there is a will, there is a way, so in a sense I agree that these companies probably could do something about it if they really wanted to, but I also don't think it would be easy, and considering how few people actually look at release notes, I am not sure the investment is worth it.

I agree completely. I think HVAC has gotten too complex for a lot of the "hand waving" that HVAC installers have been able to get away with up until now. It actually takes a good amount of pre-planning and research in order to install the proper system that is configured correctly.

Case in point, a few years ago when I was a new homeowner I converted to natural gas from oil and got three quotes from three highly rated companies. All three companies recommended the exact same boiler. A few months ago I started to research the outdoor reset functionality that allows it to change the water temperature based on the outdoor temp. Well, I discovered that the feature is basically useless for me because both of my zones are too small to generate the minimum number of BTUs at lower temperatures. So I have a (up to) 96% efficient boiler that will never be able to reach that efficiency. I either would have needed a smaller boiler and or a buffer tank to be able to work correctly.

That 24 hour minimum is based on Apple license agreement.

TLDR: I think in house shopping services are your best bet and they will only get better as companies invest more and more in them. These will hopefully replace Instacart.

I have ordered all of my groceries since March using various online services because my wife and I are both high risk for covid (asthma + pregnant). This includes Instacart, Whole Foods Delivery, Whole Foods pickup, and now Stop and Shop Pickup (effectively Peapod delivery).

Instacart is by far the worst in terms of reliability. Sometimes the substitutions make absolutely no sense whatsoever. The integration with the stores just aren't good enough and it relies too much on the individual shopper to to pick something reasonable it seems. I have had good shoppers and I have bad shoppers that take too much leeway. I don't blame them though, its just what it is. In my experience the item catalog for my local stores is also inconsistent too. Items with the same name at different prices for example. What am I buying?

The most reliable system for me is Whole Foods pickup. I have to go to a whole foods that is about ~20 minutes away instead of 10 minutes away, but the pickup basically has unlimited slots. I have never not been able to pick any slot I want, even same day. Delivery is much tougher to get slots, so I don't even try anymore. Whole Foods lets you select the actual item you want them to substitute with, although they only give you the closest ~5 options, which sometimes aren't perfect. For example, if you are trying to get lactose free yogurt, not all the replacement options will be lactose free. You also can't talk to the shopper, you can only approve or deny substitutions when you leave the item on "substitute best available". The cons basically come down to selection and price. The selection seems a lot more limited than in store which can be annoying. Prices are obviously Whole Foods prices. Another unfortunate thing is that you can't tip the shoppers. I tried to leave money in my trunk for them to take, but its against the rules I guess, so some would take it and some wouldn't. I ended up stopping because I didn't want to put people in a position where they they could get in trouble. You can tip on delivery and I always assumed that some of that tip went to the shopper, but I guess not.

Stop and Shop pickup is a close second. It's run by their Peapod service, but you just pickup curbside instead of waiting for delivery slot. Much better selection and prices, but there is no way to pick substitutions, you can only say "Do not substitute this item". I will probably use this more often going forward to supplement my Whole Foods orders. I can hit both stores for pickup in less than hour. The people that do the shopping and delivery curbside can accept tips.

They already charge developers to access the App Store. And I think any iOS/Mac developer will tell you that the cut they are taking is not being re-invested into making the developer or the App Store experience better for developers or users.

San Fransisco is 1.1801%, so 11,801 on a million dollar house.

At least with Amazon/Whole Foods, it says the entire tip goes to the workers.

Googling those people + the CEO of the company, they all seem to have moved on though. So I wonder if that company is even alive anymore.

I found this https://informaconnect.com/ventaleon-ceo-on-inhaled-drugs-fo... where the CEO said they had enough funding to produce the study but would need funding to move past that. Doesn't look like they got it.

Is there any new information on them? I can't find anything recent about them.

Not sure if you are in the US and what your insurance situation is, but I got mine at some random CVS when I was passing the time, and I was in and our in less than 10 minutes.

There was at least another olympian who tested positive that said he has had extreme fatigue even weeks later and he has lost a lot of strength.

A lot of constant training required to be an olympian.

Yeah, I worked near MIT from 2008 to 2012. It's almost a completely different place now. There weren't a ton of options back then, you had the MIT foodcourt, Rebecca's cafe, a sandwich place that was also a convenient store above a dry cleaner, and maybe Sebastians, but at least they weren't super expensive.

It doesn't even seem like the lunch options are better today, just more expensive. And dinner options, forget about it, way too expensive. We used to go to Tommy Doyles after playing corporate softball, and at least you could get a cheap burger.

The US is a big place. Those exist in the US too, but MIT is in an area surrounded my software companies and pharmaceuticals. Not a lot of cheap options.

Apple did not buy Rdio, they basically went out of business and sold what they left to Pandora.

I posted this on another comment but I curious if you have any advice.

I work in downtown Boston and my building's address isn't in Apple Maps. It "corrects" it to some place in JP, which is a residential address. There are several restaurants and and companies in this building, all marked as being in JP. I have submitted a lot of map corrections but all that does is move the location of the business on the map to the right place even though it still has the wrong address listed. That means if you actually try to navigate to them, it brings you to the wrong place. It also means no location based triggers work for things like Homekit and/or reminders. There are hundreds of people in this building, right in downtown. How do I get it to understand this address?

Please correct me if I am wrong, but Wyze doesn't actually encrypt the files they store, in their case end to end just means that the files are secure in transmission. Apple secure Video actually encrypts the files so they can't be viewed by Apple.

Not sure I understand. I am pretty sure you have been to remotely control Homekit since the beginning, originally by utilizing an Apple TV 3rd generation, and subsequently with iPads, Apple TV 4th gen/Apple TV 4K, and now HomePods.

Homekit has had support for cameras for a while. The recent support was for a cloud integration to store video securely.

I think most major HA hardware providers support Homekit at this point, with the exception of ones that don't because of competitive reasons (Nest, maybe Ring, etc) or because of strict certification requirements (like camera streams being local, $$$).

At least for HomeKit, manufacturers have no choice but to support local network access to get certified. This has cause issues, especially with Cameras since HomeKit requires that camera streams not go through the cloud first.
