Worker protections are most needed in countries that have high unemployment and low job mobility.

The US (aside from covid) had one of the world's lowest unemployment rates (around 4%), with the highest salaries in the world.

Workers in the US are exceedingly mobile, so things like job security protections are actually counter-productive.
> multi-level marketing scams

As far as I can tell, not mentioned on that page.

> private military contracting

Only mention is this sentence: "Betsy DeVos's brother, Erik Prince, a former U.S. Navy SEAL officer, is the founder of Blackwater USA, a private military services contractor."

> torturous approach to treating autism and other behavorial therapies

"Betsy and her husband Dick are chief investors in and board members of Neurocore, a group of brain performance centers offering biofeedback therapy for disorders such as depression, attention deficit disorder, autism, and anxiety. The therapy consists of showing movies to patients and interrupting them when they become distracted, in an effort to retrain their brains." Reading that, and the following paragraph, it seems like the efficacy of the treatment is dubious... But torture?

> multi-generational Charismatic Christian hate groups

The wikipedia page mentions a number of christian groups associated with the DeVos family. As far as I can tell, these all seem like bog-standard conservative causes. But, judging by the hyperbole in the rest of your comment, those probably do qualify as hate groups to you.

Overall, not impressed.
There are not enough usa grads to fill all the training spots.

However, some usa grads do not match to a spot, around 1%, which makes lots of US educated doctors (rightfully) really mad. You get random foreign doctors going to state sponsored schools with openly nepotistic admissions sometimes getting spots over people who trained here.

Imo the solution is more us medical schools opening, which is slowly happening. It is however not so easy to do so due to the (rightfully imo) high requirements.
I've been using this for the past few days and it's been fantastic, every distro should just do this out of the box.
WOTF is just a very creative end run around zip Theft law by trying to shelter it in 1A constitutionally protected activities.
I have seen behavior that would be guaranteed to get a sexual harassment suit in the US in pretty much every company I worked at, big and small, public and private.

That starts to date now but I have been at karaoke parties where some guys would be naked w/ a sock on their dick dancing. I also had to several times make sure women would get back safely because some colleagues clearly tried to get them to miss their last train and go to a love hotel.

Japan is a country where still today politicians can say that women after 40 are useless because cannot procreate. For the very few public sexual harassment affairs, the common defense of the perpetrator is to claim the woman was looking for it. It is victim blaming all the way down.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking that too. Low-code definitely feels like the space for this, and I just need to go find that community :)
Classic. Yet when projects fail it's IT that gets the blame. Not to say IT is without fault sometimes. But IT based projects fail because everyone else failed to acknowledge it was an IT project. Effectively talking when they should have been listening.
It’s definitely possible. Boy detection will use the number of accounts coming from a single source as a signal. High-profile alt accounts are probably whitelisted so they’re not flagged by accident.
While there often are built in modules for lots of platforms, it often becomes not so easy out of the box when a platform scales. Adding login to RoR is easy, but what if there suddenly is a wordpress site serving the articles, some java backend services handling other aspects etc. Or just generally lots of services that are separate. Then one suddenly needs a central authority not built in to any one service.

Then I've seen lots of people offload that to Auth0 or other managed services.
Your title is a little misleading IMO. They are not holding your money indefinitely they have added a rolling reserve which means yes you have to wait 28 days for the remaining 25% to get paid from each transaction.

While I agree they need to protect themselves in reality 25% can amount to more then the margin on many products and so can put a company out of business if the company is struggling already. That said, this is a normal practice in the financial services industry regardless of provider. I have worked with 100's of ecommerce clients over the years and whenever their chargebacks/refunds started going up (for any reason), their credit card processors would always place a reserve on the transactions. It usually ranged from 10%-50%. Many times they could get it removed over time once their chargebacks/refunds dropped again, but you have to fight to do that every month.

What you are not explaining is why your chargebacks and refunds are up, Stripe's letter to you specifically mentions this, so they are trying to protect themselves. They also will have contractual obligations with card issuers/gateways etc that require them to do this if your chargeback rate exceeds some value. This isn't just you, this will happen to anyone.

Related by slightly different: I worked with a client who started getting dropped every 8 months or so from different major credit card processors. Their had a product & on-going service for senior citizens and their clients would forget they purchased the service (or their kids/grandkids would find it on a statement and get upset) and so then it would be reported as fraud or processed as a chargeback etc. Even though the company had voice recordings and proof the client themselves initiated the transactions the processors would drop them over time because their refund/chargeback rate would exceed 30% over time. This company is well known, not a scam and does a few million dollars every quarter in sales. So the way we helped solve it for them was to break their transactions across many providers and also move them into doing more ACH/bank transfers instead of credit cards. This is a common method to solve these issues.
Don't be disappointed. I personally admire people who try anything open source. Remember that you always have some loud mouthers on the internet who think they know it better. Do what you need to do and keep going. You will ultimately always have more people supporting you than idiots like that. Don't give up because of that 1 guy.

Btw, your response to him was way more dignified than I would have replied if it was my project :). Close that issue and move on. You will have plenty of constructive feedback coming your way.
I applaud new thinking, but his proposed solution doesn't even meet his proposed criteria.

> Aesthetically, we want a clean, graceful line from hip to ankle even while holding things.

How are side bulges above the knee clean and graceful?

> Where is there enough support to prevent items swinging around uncomfortably?

Because pants are looser around the knee than the waist, heavy items like a phone will constantly be swinging around uncomfortably down there -- same as they do in cargo pants.

As for the problem that started it all:

> Putting a modern slab phone, a wallet, and keys into a pair of skinny jeans will leave even the most fashionable figure looking looking like they’re wearing batman’s utility belt as underwear.

A little bit, yes, but it's really just the least bad solution. Everything else is even worse. The market has settled on pockets as they are, because they actually truly work best.
Another issue I've seen is people using their device's built-in speaker and microphone (to form a loopback-fest) that the onboard echo cancellation tries its best to deal with.

I think there's certainly a part around "but I can't see the difference" - it's hard to get rapid feedback on if it's better or worse, since you won't notice the difference in change to setup.

In any case, being able to create a pulseaudio sink that puts the audio from one application through a noise removal chain sounds to me like a decent "quick fix" for me - I've tried to listen to some webinars with such horrible audio it was pretty much impossible to listen to, yet with otherwise worthwhile content. I wonder if this would be enough to improve it, or if the issues lie elsewhere (low quality transcodes).
These look very much like a pair of hiking pants I have.
You are combating one extreme with another. 1% vs McDonalds workers.

Look at the middle 90% - they are the highest paid in the world with a record low 4% unemployment rate (covid-excluding).

THIS is why worker protections are not priority. Employment mobility in the US, combined with the highest salaries makes them almost useless.

Afaik it is working with marijuana, because we now support domestic production. If we want to cut off the supply chain, we would need to produce domestically the other drugs in the cartel's supply chains.

The US doesn't have the maturity to produce cocaine and distribute internally w/o becoming another cartel. The CIA already did this as a funding source, I could see it being done to destabilize cash flow for cartels. Simply legalizing the possession will allow the focus to be spent elsewhere but will not stem the tide.
I would just run Keycloak.
No, not me personally, however if someone lacked the skill to build a login system and lacked the risk aversion to outsourcing it (which I’m guessing is not uncommon because that risk aversion comes with experience) then perhaps there is a market at the right price.
Median residency salary for a doctor in the US is something like $65k (probably about twice what sanitation workers make, though I'm too lazy to look it up). That's somewhat low relative to other jobs requiring the same education, but not particularly out of range. Lawyers do better at that stage of their careers for sure, but we have plenty of post-docs making far less. I don't see that this is much of an argument in context.

People get into acrimonious fights over this nonsense and end up fired (usually the person defending sane reasonableness, not the person demanding crazy, meaningless concessions over everything).

This might kick off a small golden age for the countries the doctors are returning to, at great cost in american lives and permanent disability in this time of crisis. Who knew Trump's policies would be so magnanimous and self-sacrificing. Does he get a Nobel prize now?
As opposed to the DNC motto of "Government works, you're just not giving us enough money".

It's got the lawyer problem. Bimodal income distribution. Some doctors make bank, some doctors work at a corner office in a mall.

Really if you wanted to revolutionize doctor-ing then i think creating a pathway from enrolled nurse all the way to consultant doctor would be the way to go. That should probably be a twenty year journey but it would open it up a lot.
They're good pockets, aren't they? But the ones I've owned seem to be sized and proportioned for a stanley knife or similar, not a phone or wallet.

I think the author is onto something, though I'm still not convinced these pockets give a nice line with much in them, which people generally care about. Dickies-type trousers tend to have a looser fit than the pictured trousers. The article photos with a phone held partly in the pocket aren't definitive.

That would be an ideal scenario for a SSO system. There are open source solutions like Keycloak, IdentityServer etc. While they are nice thanks to the functionality they offer, I recently tried Keycloak and found it extremely annoying to maintain thanks to the not great documentation.

Managed services like Auth0 are a great alternative, although Auth0 is one of the more expensive ones.
For small apps I found Firebase Auth to be great, for larger projects things like Amazon Cognito or Azure AD B2C are probably the better choice (although Azure AD B2C still doesn't support custom domains). They are worth a try imho, since Amazon as well as Microsoft offer a generous free teir (50k MAUs for free)
It depends. I can see myself getting exhausted of arguing and explaining and then having to deal with it anyway.

Cargo pants really look bad with anything in them though, except flattish items like paper money. These trousers look like an improvement.

I think the next step is to reinvent the bum bag in a slightly more sartorially-elegant form.
I wonder if it just wasnt the right time and if the project could be revived in a couple years. It seems like a great direction.
OK, then I think I get what you mean - scaling up the glyphs 2x and adding more bitmap detail, but perceptually sticking to the original shapes as closely as possible.

That's something I thought of in the past but it proved trickier than I expected to actually get nice enough results, so I never actually got very far with it but it's not impossible.

64 TB is all that that anybody would ever need on a computer.
This is really cool, and its an interesting way to try to monetize what would otherwise be a relatively small service.

The big issues here are trust and security. Before using a third-party login, especially if it isn't one of the big ones, I would need to understand more of how it is handling the data. A breach in your service translates directly to a breach in mine, and the intro page does not describe many of the details.

Does using your service offer the end users any benefit compared to a third party login or built-in login service? As it stands, it seems like they will be giving their email address to yet another company, which may erode their trust in my own service.
Yes that’s pretty much what I was thinking of. It’s unfortunate Mozilla couldn’t keep it going. I wonder if a browser extension could make this work as a way to pave the way forward. Or if like LastPass could add such functionality.
Why is it needless? If the company can’t stay viable, doesn’t the company legitimately need to do something else, perhaps even stop existing entirely or in part? The lack of profits is the market telling the company and/or its employees to do something differently, or do something else. How is a free market supposed to work?
How trustworthy is this table?
It's almost as if the AMA shouldn't heavily limit residencies such that only a constrained amount of young people are able to enter the ranks and become doctors.
Did you give it any useful information? I mean for example, I am subscribed to a bunch of channels about music theory, and Youtube will put other videos about music theory and analysis in my feed. They are highly relevant and at least somewhat popular, so usually reasonable quality. Sometimes it will start recommending videos from a channel that is not so good, and you can tell it to never show you that channel again.

If you only watch random Youtube videos linked from other sites with no particular theme, or generic news and political videos, or don't subscribe to any channels, I can imagine the recommendations would be pretty useless. But the algorithm does seem pretty good at recommending things related to your interests if those are clear from what you watch and subscribe to. It's probably the only recommendation engine I find useful.
Don't browsers essentially do this already?

You're suggesting some different backend details, but the UX you describe is already in place.

Just as a point of information, that is not entirely true. Podcasts are tracking you too, but the technology is older and can't do it as well as Facebook.

When you listen to an episode of a podcast, an advertiser can get data from the file download, so at the very least they know your location and your phone profile. Say you download a podcast from a certain location Brooklyn, using iPhone X, an advertiser can profile you to be upper-middle-class and show you a Peloton ad, while same podcast download of an old Android phone is going to get an ad for a short-term loan.

The advertisers are hungry for ways to get more data because right now it's still a black box, you throw money in, and maybe someone buys. They would much rather target with precision, than with banner ads.
All they have to do is lift the ama quota and we'll have twice as many doctors

The cigarette tax rate in New York is 2500% higher than the tax rate in Missouri. That's more than a few %, and that's just the state tax; NYC has their own additional tax that increases the difference even more.

And I'd rather see more search results that aren't tuned to me. Down with algorithms! Down with personalization!

I'm surprised how much hate there is on HN - the entire future of technology feels like it's heavy on data, personalization, and prediction, but a lot of comments read like a parent or grandparent that was targeted and is loading up their shotgun.

The technology isn't the enemy, some of the use is. And in some cases, we need legislation to catch up, like it gas started to for things like loot boxes / gambling in kid's games.
Presuming you "browse" the service (e.g. look at whatever equivalent it has to a front page), you're seeing only the "mainstream" of its content, without any "niche" content.

For many of these services, most of the reason that people even use/recommend them is that they allow each person to conveniently "browse" within the set of long-tail niches that interest them. Reddit, for one, is certainly not popular because of its mainstream/default subreddits. It's popular in spite of them.

On the other hand, presuming you do no "browsing" of the service, but just get linked to specific content on the service from elsewhere, you're pretty much getting the full experience either way. (I think one difference is that some services won't show you all the comments unless you log in; and sometimes the comments themselves are what was interesting-enough to link to.)

Also, some particular services (e.g. YouTube) track you and build a viewer profile of you even if you never create an account there, and so "browsing" them will still result in niche content if that's what you've previously visited there. But most services don't do this.
It's almost as if they don't.

You seem kind of touchy on the 'cargo pocket' subject, which is the first thing that came to mind for me. Glad you found something that works for you.

Google 'dockers cell phone pocket'. You can already get shorts and pants with a cell phone pocket on the side. Some very similar to yours, some zippered, some a little closer to the hip, some a little lower.
Your entire premise is based upon the fact that this wouldn't be discoverable for anyone that didn't already know the algorithm.
