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

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

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

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.
San Fransisco is 1.1801%, so 11,801 on a million dollar house.
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.
A lot of constant training required to be an olympian.
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.
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?
