briefsky is what I switched to. I found the Open-Meteo feels-like numbers to be way off in NYC but Pirate Weather has been fine.


I use SES for sending + a forwarding service for receiving and the combination works well. Usually my SES bill is a few cents and AWS just waives the bill.


So that's why I never get a bill from AWS. I use SES for sending from my otherwise selfhosted mailbox and I've never received a bill.


An ethernet card is in the works: https://twitter.com/frameworkputer/status/139594629558862233.... It looks like full-sized SD was popular in that poll too.


As of a few years ago there's a similar FDA approved ingredient available in the US as BioMin. It works well for me and is cheaper than importing NovaMin.


Biomin also claims that their particles are smaller and therefore more effective at mineralization than Novamin.

Another option for leveling up on toothpaste is using those that contain micronized hydroxyapatite. Options here are Carifree or the Japanese brand Apagard available on eBay or Amazon. Biomin’s formula is proprietary but it might contain hydroxyapatite in part.

I stopped randomly getting cavities after using xylitol gum occasionally and brushing with these various toothpastes, n=1.

There also exist a variety of oral probiotics that claim to rebalance mouth flora away from species that cause cavities.

While no dentist ever told me about any of these options, at least Carifree is starting to market through US dentists.


HAP, available in Japan since 1970.

wow, just found this where they compared HAP to fluoride and found no difference: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41405-019-0026-8

I have novamin. I think it makes my teeth feel different. May be placebo.

A lot of people swear by HAP, novamin, etc. I suspect it all comes down to increased oral care and diligence though!


> I think it makes my teeth feel different.

I definitely feel something too, like the surface is slicker.


Any idea when reviewers will get their hands on it? It'd be nice to have some reviews prior to pre-orders going out.


Definitely! We'll be sending out review units before we start shipping out to customers.


There's a similar formula available in the US called Biomin that's FDA approved and distributed by Dr Collins. Their fluoridated version isn't FDA approved yet, but it works well for me used 50/50 with an OTC stannous fluoride toothpaste.


Hah, I ran into this guy on the support forum thread about this issue: https://github.community/t/why-does-this-forum-need-permissi...

I'm on his side - I think the copy is bad - but he was pretty unhelpful in the thread and ended up getting it locked.


Interestingly, Google later wrote their own relational db in javascript called lovefield, which was motivated primarily by the deprecation of WebSQL: https://github.com/google/lovefield/blob/master/docs/dd/00_i...


Oh, I just recently started using envwarden for managing dev secrets. I have some customizations for that use case on a fork, in case it's helpful to anyone: https://github.com/envwarden/envwarden/compare/master...simo...


If I'm understanding the timeline correctly, it's not just recent signups but anybody who has wanted to monetize an extension from March until now, who paid under the expectation that the temporary ban would be lifted.


Thanks! Mostly I just hated to think that a developer might fall into protracted customer support discussion asking for their account to be refunded, if the $25 turns out to be a hardship. I wouldn't expect this to impact many people, but you never know.

I'd also be curious what happens if people ask the normal channels for the refund, of course.
