Well in most Asian cultures taking care of your relatives and elderly is primarily done by the family. Offloading this duty to the state is not a sign of development but a sign of different culture. There are well regarded measures of human development, like the HDI.
"The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries into four tiers of human development. A country scores a higher HDI when the lifespan is higher, the education level is higher, and the GNI (PPP) per capita is higher. It was developed by Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, with help from Gustav Ranis of Yale University and Lord Meghnad Desai of the London School of Economics, and was further used to measure a country's development by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP)'s Human Development Report Office"
According to Wikipedia China has a HDI of 0.752 which is considered high, 86th position on the list of countries. Hong Kong also has high HDI, 0.933, very high, 7th position.
This comparison is much better than trying to come up with an arbitrary measure.
The default tooling isn't great. Tools like CrowdAnki [0] and Anki Deck Manager [1] make it possible to manage decks in plain text. It's also helpful for collaborative deck development. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find many examples of decks managed this way online, but there is a relatively high quality geography deck worth looking at [2].

This is by far the worst part of those decks (which I am also using). You are literally encouraged to just browse the cards and delete the levels that you're not using. It's really not user friendly.
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the probability or rate (or expected time) of metastasizing varies a lot depending on the type of the tumor. (I looked into this a bit when I was diagnosed; it was more or less likely to metastasize within a somewhat short time, depending on the exact type of the tumor.)
I'm sure the immunosuppressants needed after a transplant would increase the risk in any case.
If it wasn't a surprising situation, it wouldn't have been in a medical journal.
However its possibility isn't crazy. Per https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC22534/ it seems that cancer cells can be detected in the blood before the cancer itself is detectable by traditional means. Therefore an undiscovered cancer could well have left circulating cells in multiple organs.
This tool claims to have those features, but does not. The article covers this.
It’s actually kind of worse, because it lulls parents into thinking it’s safe. And it’s even harder to police since adults never use it and the UI is different than the YouTube parents expect.
Yes. We found our two year old had found some pretty...strange YouTube Kids videos on her iPad, so we nuked YT Kids and only gave them PBS/Sesame Street.
And the "weird" videos from the article seem to still exist there too, the way I understand the article (I haven't checked myself, it was disturbing experience the last time).
This made me think of a wonderful article titled "While Teaching in Japan, it Took an Enemy to Make Me Feel at Home" [0] which was on the HN front page at the end of 2017. [1]
That article is about the friendship/enemyship between a teacher and a child student, formed by the student’s teasing hostility toward the author as a foreigner.
"When I told a group of kids my eyes were naturally blue (they thought I wore colored contacts), they backed away and whispered, “Scary.” The first time I went to the grocery store, my appearance alone caused a small child to burst into tears."
The difference is pretty much 20%.
On why I took it:
* The money is better
* It has more potential for fulfillment
* The money is enough to offset the risk that it won't suit me
