I'm hopeful this new company wont ruin anki, but assuming they do, how do I find the "new anki" fork and how do I contribute. Is there a community / anki forum that hasn't been acquired?

By age 50, around 80% of people have a degenerative disc on imaging... it's over 1/3rd by age 20. Everyone is going to get a bad back at some point if they don't take care of themselves. "Eat right and exercise " is

I'm skimming the results, but it looks like adult teeth had less cavities when they turned the fluoride off...and that was not observed in Edmonton where they left the fluoride on the whole time. "For all tooth surfaces among perm

My first sentence in my original post was " The conclusion from the largest and strongest studies is that there is a certain level of fluoride that harms IQ." I did not move the goal posts from there. I was replying to a comment t

"The NTP monograph concluded, with moderate confidence, that higher levels of fluoride exposure, such as drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter, are associated with lower IQ in children". They fou

All the evidence in that article is based on what a politician thinks. "And I think another meta study came out also". The actual high quality evidence shows that water fluorination has minimal impact on tooth health in 2025: htt

Fluorinated water minimally reduces cavities: https://www.cochrane.org/news/water-fluoridation-less-effect... It was probably much more effective 50 years ago when fluoride was not in everyone's toothpaste.

Before calling them "anti science wackos", why not review the evidence or cite some of your own. Ironic that the "wackos" seem to be the only ones providing any evidence for their claims. There is high quality evidence t

The study and my quote literally say " drinking water containing more than 1.5 milligrams of fluoride per liter". It did not find it lowered IQ in all drinking water concentrations, but it definitely found it in some drinking wate

Please define appropriate levels and then cite some evidence that proves with high certainty that level is safe. For the sake of argument, assume that only 1% of the US has levels that harm IQ. Would it not be worth it to remove fluoride fr

To emphasize your point, I don't think anyone will notice if someone's alzheimers is 2.3% better. These rating scales like CDR-SB (invented by drug companies or researchers who are funded by drug companies) are very good at making

From what I've read, those drugs are very good at removing amyloid, but despite that, they don't seem to make much of a noticeable (clinically meaningful) difference in the people treated with them. I personally would not call tha

On some quick googling the mean debt at graduation from medical school is about 250,000 (this includes undergrad). This number is trending upward. There is also the opportunity cost of 4 years additional school and 3-7 years of getting paid

As an argument to illustrate why 30 day mortality isnt a long enough period, imagine this scenario: you have a cancer that has a 90% chance of killing you in one year. You will be cured if you get the surgery tomorrow, but the surgery has a

Presumably, but if half your customers pay you just above your costs and the other half pays half that, which half is responsible for your business going bankrupt? Probably both, but one half is clearly more of an issue than the other.

I found it odd also, I was under the impression that hospitals made their money on private insurance and lost on medicare/Medicaid. I do recall hearing that rural hospitals are reimbursed at a higher rate from the government, perhaps t

The article is arguing that private payers don't reimburse rural hospitals enough, not that lack of medicaid or obamacare is an issue. Perhaps your premise is correct but it is at odds with the article, I would be interested in hearing

The designers of the androids do not want them to be detected as non-human and killed, hence they do not program in a debug function. This is a major plot point in the book.
