I had the same idea, but looks like someone beat me and did a better job overall. Tested it once and the simulations look good.

Check this : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4252862/ This is a flouride alternative and seems to help teeth recover faster.

Re:List of Resources for MLOps on Friday November 12, 2021 @08:52AM (#29199228)
Thanks for sharing. In general, what is the optimum number of links that are needed to understand a topic? I find anything with more than 10 links about the topic a bit overwhelming. Can we have a distilled list of such lists?

What is going to protect this from all those meteoroids,asteroids and cosmic rays?
Re:Show HN: A tool for your learning, like Anki and Notion in one on Friday September 03, 2021 @02:21AM (#28401012)
I downloaded it and installed it, but could not try as it requires a signup with email!

1. The feature set on paper is impressive, but there should be a way of trying out the limited features in offline mode, without requiring a mandatory sign-up. So consider adding a demo mode both in the downloaded and web version.

2. Is there a way to host data locally?

3. The Privacy policy & Terms of service take forever to load. The loading times need some serious tweaking.

That cutaway drawing is very nice. Is there a site where all such 60s-70s cutaway drawings are listed?

So what kind of apps did you make? Currently its a closed app store, so kind of curious to understand what is the barrier to entry to this ecosystem.
Re:How Germany got its gold back on Monday November 13, 2017 @05:00AM (#15685412)
On an unrelated note : Why can't FT.com add some article metadata like word count, reading time or the author's name to peak interest and push the reader towards subscription. How is a plain pay-wall informative about what am I missing?

Total fired count would be a nice addition.

Did anyone notice the only person not smiling in this page? Seems to be really sad while taking that pic.
