This is an excellent series that has suspense and yet easy to digest. If you like the military SF sub genre you should also look at the Honor Harrington series by David Weber followed by the Safehold series and the March To The Sea series. Actually most stuff by David Weber is pretty good.
> an individual engineer is likely contributing tens of millions of dollars of real value to your organization...

If that's the case. If as an engineer you can contribute millions to a company. Why don't you start your own? I'm sure each line of code you create will inflate the price by a million dollars.

Of course, I'm being flippant. But the point still stands.

Stefan Molyneux explains the true value of employees in a free market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYY11Ro4h54

Now you are entitled to argue against this and even dismiss this opinion. But go to your employer and demand one of the following:-

- 7 figure salary

- % of profit share

- Equity in the company

for your role in the company.

Please let us know how it works out. I'm sure a lot of like-minded people such as yourself will be very interested to hear.

2001 in 70mm: Pod bay doors look better than ever, still won’t open
A few thoughts without having read the linked essay, which does not interest me.

Writers all write and work differently. Great writers develop their own, good style or take time to craft it carefully into their works, "lesser" writers are satisfied with perfecting their skills and a certain artistic base level. Most of those "lesser" writers could probably write works of much higher quality if they wanted to, because the literary quality of a work depends to a large extent on the amount of time and care devoted to it. (There are bad habits, though.) Writing is mostly handcraft. It also depends on the genre, if you don't intend to write a work of high literary quality - for which there is a very small market and not much income -, then it's unlikely that the end result will have that quality.

I don't believe that any writer consciously steals from anyone, not even the crappiest pulp fiction novelist would want do that, because it takes all the fun out of the writing.

Writing is always about humans and there are only so many themes, so at a coarse look it might seem as if there is some stealing, but that is only a coarse and superficial look.

Precisely. It is not just that. The Hindu right wing have been sold narrative - a version of history where they are told that they are denied their "right" place in history - at the very top of all world cultures, only because of the pesky minorities. So they should subjugate the minorities and cast them to the fringes so that the "great" Hindu nation can rise again.

Because hard skills that are vital for the viability of a business don't translate to soft skills required to setup organizations, manage people, get proposals and close deals.

For a sports analogy, Michael Jordan might have been the absolute best basketball player but he is unable to build or manage a team. Does that mean to you that Michael Jordan did not deserved to be compensated for the "tens of millions of dollars of real value" that he brought to the Chicago Bulls in particular and the NBA in general? Do you actually believe that if he should've shut up and started his own basketball team to have any claim to any of the value he created for other organizations?
1.) The difference in salary does not have to copy exact difference in productivity.

2.) Reality is that people are paid differently and it does not causes massive social issues. It causes occasional smaller social issues.

3.) Another reality is that different people stay differently longer - some bare minimum and some have larger overtimes.

4.) Rewarding productivity is not same as rewarding piece work, especially in collaborative complex work.

It is happening right now and I don't see much large issues around it. What I am saying that ambition to reward productivity is better then rewarding but-in-office time which motivates people to hang around office and work ineffectively.

The way I read this article, it rather reinforces the Copernican principle.

There are 3 facts in the article.

1. Planets in other systems tend to orbit faster, in a matter of weeks rather than years; therefore our system is special. Fine, this observation would go against the Copernican principle, but my guess is it's more likely to be an observation bias. Namely, if you have many transitions, before doing any math, you can't tell if it's one or several planets. If you have 10 planets, and you wrongly assume it's one, you get an perceived orbital speed that is 10 times higher (oversimplifying here a bit). If you do the math, and are able to tell apart some of the transitions, you may still think you only have 3 planets instead of 10. Identifying if transitions belong to the same planet is likely to have few false negatives but many false positives. We can follow this space, and see if future analyses confirm the current findings, or confirm my hunch.

2. Distribution of densities. Here the article mentions that for a given radius the density can vary by a factor of 10, but otherwise there is nothing special about the Earth. I would call this a plus for the Copernican principle

3. The distribution of planet sizes. This one is double peaked, and the size of the Earth is part of one peak, not of the valley. This is a big plus for the Copernican principle.
Pushing the Limits of the Web with Angular
In the case of technical standards, having yours make law is obviously vastly more useful and profitable for all involved than charging a cover fee. Participation in these committees is hardly an effort for a better world, it is a very effective way for an incumbent to cement their market position and create barriers to competition for smaller companies.

If they are ever cited in law, there's champagne for all the butts in seats that guided the committees work in producing a thousands pages plus hot air anti-trust balloon.

There's a concerning undertone here of these noble companies coming together to prevent our houses from burning down with their valuable standards work. In reality, you get Grenfell.
Search results don’t vary that much based on these things, with the exception of how your location affects location-relevant results (like searching for tax info in the UK will less likely show pages from the IRS). Let’s not exaggerate here.

Whoa there. Not paying a fine in a western country doesn’t necessarily (and doesn’t often) lead to jail time. Civil penalties are not easily converted into criminal ones, for obvious reasons (they punish poorer offenders for not being rich).
I have driven though 25+ countries in West Africa from Morocco to Cape Town and now on my up to Cairo in the last ~2 years [1].

While I understand what you're saying, I have some things to add:

1. Cape Town and Lagos (Nigeria in General) have virtually nothing in common. Cape Town is essentially Zürich compared to Nigerian cities.

2. state run institutions, like health, education, police, water, sanitation, conservation and everything else people take for granted in well run countries, you find a dramatic decline. ... a widening gap between rich and poor, civil unrest, growth in private healthcare and security, unreliable and expensive power supply and high crime rate, often violent.

You have just described the exact challenges faced by the United States.

3. There are millions of stories about how bleak "Africa" is and how many challenges it faces. I have been constantly shocked by how developed many places are, and how fast they are not only catching up to, but in some cases surpassing "Developed" places.
For example: have you been to Brazzaville? very nice and modern city, fantastic roads all over the Rep. Congo now - Pointe Noire too.
Lomé in Togo is another great example.

4. In my experience Africans are positive and optimistic about the future. That means they're working hard to make stuff better, as apposed to those who sit around in the developed world and complain about how everything is getting worse. I wonder where we'll be in ~20 more years.

Recovery for Access File
MS Access database gets corrupted due to several reasons and after corruption, when trying to open database then it does
not open and the database becomes inaccessible. Well it has inbuilt compact and repair database through which the access

A blacklist without context and without the people executing the punishment knowing the person is pretty different from small communities. It captures some of the "small" aspect but completely misses the effects of having a "community".

Also my wife grew up in a small town and how judgemental they were is the main reason she is glad not to be there anymore so even if we could recreate how small towns actually work I don't know if we want to.

Because competition is good, I want to quickly name-drop VS Code here, which has had _excellent_ integrated node debugging for quite a while now. It integrates seamlessly with the entire tool ecosystem (eg I use ts-node-dev for autoreloading + typescript support, and the VS Code debugger Just Works). And because it's inside the editor, ndb features like the ability to put breakpoints in a file before it is required are irrelevant. It's all at your fingertips, just put a breakpoint right where you're coding, hit F5 to attach the debugger to your devserver and step through the code.

It's a pretty amazing experience, finally putting Node at the same level as, say, PHP with XDebug and NetBeans in 2006. Of course reloads are still slower, but that's all. JS is getting there!

Probably because Islamic extremism is still a big unsolved problem. The world wants a solution. Therefore people take notice and want to know about attacks by Muslims. Non-muslim attacks are not often orchestrated with the background force of religious ideology.

Not needing a visa and not being able to stay for as long as you wanted are two different things, what you're looking for is "free movement". If you hover "ease of travel" on the best second passport page, they show this with "freedom of movement > visa free > visa on the border".

Eg for a lot of asian countries, we european can go at will, without a visa, as long as you stay for 30 days or less. It's not a visa on arrival either, they merely stamp your passport with the entry date. But if you want to stay longer, you need to ask for a visa (and for some countries, you can do that visa on arrival, in the airport).

However for the US, us european still need to apply to the ESTA, which is a visa in anything but in name. I'm not sure why the EU is not forcing the US to drop it for us, or force it back on US citizen coming here, because this seems to be a trickery against the "no visa required" deal.

> Green thinks this scenario is so unlikely to occur twice that he hired a sports analytics firm to determine the odds were a mere “1-in-8 sextillion.”

The fact this plaintiff implicitly argued the probability of fictional and non-fictional events are equal, made me realise that perhaps the seemingly moronic arguments we hear about from litigation in the technical world aren't all down to incompetence in reasoning about technology - just incompetence in reasoning about reality in general, but I guess people will say anything when they believe the opposition is wrong regardless of the implications of their insane reasoning.

That is patently false. The problems isn't caused by not controlling the client. The primary problem is that they don't control the network, which means each and every single node between client and server, and HTTP reduces or eliminates the chance that one of those nodes doesn't cooperate.
If you're working to get a certain task done at your job, yes I can see wanting to minimally touch the code.

If something gets bad enough, I will refactor the whole damn thing, but only at jobs where there are unit tests. If there are no unit tests, this truly becomes an impossible task and it's best not to touch anything you don't need to.

You have to have good tests if you ever want to tackle technical debt.

There are plenty of people on HN who go to some effort to comment with thoughtfulness and nuance, and who try hard to help others understand complex issues by discussing them in great depth.

In this case you've encountered people who don't comment in such a way, but that's more likely to happen when you invoke highly controversial issues without great caution.

Indeed this is why the HN guidelines ask people to avoid introducing flamewar topics, as reactions like this are inevitable, not just on HN, but anywhere on the internet.

Take it from someone who's been on HN for over 10 years: the good far outweighs the bad, but it's up to all of us to make the effort to keep the standard high.

I think the desirability/need for a 2nd job increases as the number of job work hours decrease.

Imagine you had a 2-day/wk job that pays half of what you make in a 40h/wk job. Would you mind having a 2nd job that pays the other half?

Anyway, my point is that having more free hours will change how society behaves and colaborate and how the underlying economics work, therefore eliminating some of perceived advantages of a shorter work week.
