Thank you for the feedback. Will make these adjustments.


No - I had an unopened medication that I wanted to return just ONE day after purchase because I found it much cheaper elsewhere. This isn't about disposal - I simply wanted a standard refund for an unopened product, like any other retail purchase. Instead, CVS's only "solution" was to have me throw away a perfectly good medication.

The point isn't about medication disposal - it's about their no-refund policy even for sealed, unopened medications purchased days or even hours ago. How does this benefit anyone except CVS's bottom line?


You might know that it was stored properly, but the pharmacy doesn't know it wasn't kept in a parked car that got hotter than the medication can normally tolerate, degrading it. Or whatever. So the chain-of-custody so-to-speak was broken. Maybe for most medications it would be fine, but it seems sensible to not offer refunds. Wouldn't even be surprised if there were federal and state laws preventing the re-use of second-hand medications. Have you successfully tried returning medications elsewhere? Even for over the counter items like Tylenol, if a store does accept returns as a courtesy, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they just throw it away, rather than take the risk of putting the item back on the shelf.

I created a site similar to this few weeks ago https://h1binfo.org/ It has 5M+ records containing H1B salary data from 2014 - 2023 and uses Meilisearch.


Hey your website looks great, I started looking around and unfortunately hit a HTTP 500 within 2 clicks :( For e.g. https://h1binfo.org/jobs/Assistant%20Professor/2023 shows a SQL query error.

Btw, very cool to see a 2023 website powered by PHP Symfony :) it's been a LONG time since I worked with PHP frameworks but good to see them still in use in newer sites.


My employers data seems to be accurate. Great work, fast search too.

For the uninformed - what is the point of these sites? Do they serve as proxy for a more general wage database? I’m guessing there’s some disclosure law for h1b


> Do they serve as proxy for a more general wage database? I’m guessing there’s some disclosure law for h1b

That’s the idea. At least in theory, H1B salaries are meant to be in line with what native workers are paid.


Search is very fast and also found my employer name on the list. easy to use as well.


I'm seeing salaries of $17M/year ..


https://h1binfo.org/visa/464448 Looks like the application was "Withdrawn". Most probably a typo when filing?

Most of these high salaries $1M+ are either "Withdrawn" or "Denied". But there are other applications "Certified" at around $1M/Year. https://h1binfo.org/visa/469433


As author mentioned, I always come up with an excuse before the event. This has happened to me several times! After reading this, I realize, it was not just me :)


This makes sense. Several other services are down.


This is what I thought. These companies are taking advantage of people who don't have enough information and make them pay for rest of their life. All the people who attend these presentation are the ones who are trying to save money.


May be like you said, it's "unethical but legal". I've heard a little bit about car sales but not much about funeral home.


Any other industry that use similar strategy to signup customer?



Love the fact that it is open-source and free to use. I can see it being useful for a lot of people who don't want to spend money but know they need to do some form of simple automation using their browser.


This resonates a lot with me. There will always be people smarter, richer and prosperous than you. Appreciate the fact that you are always going to be in a line where you'll have people better and worst than you. Being able to motivate and make small consistent improvements is the key to being a better yourself.
