> What on earth do they need to get paid that much for? Even if you assume they're contributing 100x what line workers are doing, they'll do just fine earning under $1M/year.

No one needs to get paid anything. Calvin Coolidge's[1] son died of an infected blister he got playing tennis. Do we need antibiotics? No. People lived without them and if we're unlucky we will too as antibiotic resistance spreads.

It's not about what people need. Americans don't need such huge houses or so many cars. Swedes don't need their winter holiday to the sun. Chinese peasants don't need to go from eating meat once a year to every day of the week. It's about what people are worth paying, whether they produce more than it costs to employ them.

The news that Steve Ballmer was retiring as CEO caused MSFT stock to rise $1 billion. Ballmer was worth -$1,000,000 as CEO. Since Satya Nadella became CEO its market capitalisation has quintupled. He is very easily worth paying $100 million a year.

On your final point, the investor class is the reason we can have nice things. People who have money and invest it instead of consuming it are where investment comes from. Without investment our private stock of capital will rapidly run down due to depreciation and there will be no economic growth, no research and development.

We've seen the alternative to capitalism. It failed to promote economic growth, freedom or human flourishing. For countries starting from almost everyone being peasants it has its plus points[2], see Branko Milanovic's new book. For

[2] Communism probably led to faster investments in education and healthcare than would otherwise have occurred in countries like Romania and Bulgaria. In countries that were already developed before the Soviet conquest like East Germany or Czechoslovakia it had basically no redeeming features
Besides his great books and massive work in generic programming, the man has quite a sense of humor.

For example, there is a lot of fun in his famous interview on an Italian magazine [1], linked on that site. It includes the widely celebrated sentence "object orientation is a hoax":

"

Question:

I think STL and Generic Programming mark a definite departure from the common C++ programming style, which I find is almost completely derived from SmallTalk. Do you agree?

Answer:

Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman (Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting - saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them work.

I loved Shobol4! When I learned it as part of a survey-of-languages class in college (on an IBM mainframe), it was well before I had exposure to the UNIX/C/awk/regexp world, so its pattern-matching powers were a revelation.
Honestly, this course would have been a game-changer for those of us who went to terrible colleges with minimal opportunities for internships. The disconnect between theoretical classes and practical ones was simply too vast to grasp for the majority.

You sound like one of the top tier of students, being a programmer before entering college (which I assume was a good one). There are colleges out there where the faculty have only a theoretical relation to any actual useful knowledge. E.g. my semester-long networking class actually had less content than just watching a few YouTube videos. My operating systems class had a prof who was so completely clueless about so many things I can't list them. On the first day of class, he said "There are 3 OS (sic) - Windows, Mac and Unix" and refused to believe a student who told him that OSX is a unix. My CS education is entirely self-taught as a result.

> The more I read Nietzsche the more glad I am that I live in a society that does not greatly value philosophy.

Your society still values some philosophies, even if you happen to be ignorant about where they come from. It just makes it harder for you to understand and question them.

The people who have chosen your philosophy for you probably don't want you to recognize it as a philosophy. They want you to see it as "common sense", "the real world", "the natural order of things", "my guts" or something like that.
And the word is specific to programming! The usage in the course seems incorrect to me too.

Everything else looks great though!
Because many people wrongly assume that those people who happen to be lower paid (in this case, a cleaner) also have higher chances of being “thieves” or of having lower moral standards, and as such it comes as a surprise to them when they find out that cleaners (for this example) are just like everybody else. I find it incredible classist, but I don’t think that’s anything much that can be done, this attitude is too entrenched on both sides of the political spectrum.
I agree, I'm not sure the car salesman example was good. With the landlord-tenant example I should have been more specific. I meant a case that I experienced myself, the ownership had changed and the new landlord wanted to raise the rent. I wanted to keep the old rent, which was my right. In the end I faltered, although I made an overall good deal for me, he managed to raise the rent by using the usual threat: We're going to have to build a balcony. He also cut off my phone cable. A really charming guy.

Back then I didn't know the tricks of how to negotiate in such adversarial situations. Our goals were really just "raise rent vs. keep rent as is". You could say that it was still win-win, though, for example by pointing out that our secondary goals were to maintain good relations and not have any lawsuit.

As a base table value, it's easy to mechanically avoid NULL in SQL. Every nullable column is, in the most general case, simply a column that doesn't belong in the table but in a different table whose primary key is alsona foreign key referencing the original table’s primary key.

I don't understand the practical attack vector for breaking SHA1s in Git. Not only are objects checksummed by SHA1, they also encode the length. Finding a SHA1 collision is plausible, but finding a SHA1 collision that both lets you do something Nefarious, and is the length you need, seems really really unlikely
Of course they are ?!?!!? https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/

Surprising they didn't go with Blake3 instead since it has much higher performance and Git's performance-oriented ethos.

I dunno... seems if we've injected money into the economy it's out there swirling around. As long as the velocity is high, everything is fine. If the economy slows, we lose velocity and with a fixed supply of money(or an increasing supply, if QE is attempted) we see inflation as too many dollars chase too few goods. I never did well in econ though, so I'm happy to be told I'm an idiot.

To the point where I question the legitimacy of including stock coolers with such demanding processors.

My own Wraith Prism is just sitting in the basement, and I don't see myself ever using it, unless something happens to my high-end cooling system and I need to install something while getting it fixed, at which point it'll go back to the basement again.

It would be interesting to see statistics on how many Wraith Prism coolers sold together with 3900X CPU:s actually end up being used. I expect the number to be quite low.

Best Waste Management Disposal Company in UK
Preimage is really a whole different beast than collission.

It's also not particularly surprising. Just by its length SHA-1 has in its best case 80 bits of collission security and 160 bits of preimage security.

Now its important to understand that attacks usually don't cause full devastation, but they usually make attacks a bit better than optimal.

Attacks in the 60 bit range is what's possible, attacks in the 70 bit range is what's dangerous. It's easy to imagine that relatively small deviation from optimal security gets SHA-1 from 80 into the dangerous territorry (the attacks are in the low 60s range). However getting from 160 bit down to the 60/70 bit range would require massive improvements in attacks.

It's safe to say that SHA-1 is still very far from preimage attacks. Still to be clear I'd still recommend to get rid of it whereever you can. The far bigger risk is that you think you only need preimage security, while you actually need collission security for scenarios you haven't thought about.

Ask HN: Self Hosting Your Podcast?
Do you self host your podcasts (the actual audio files of your podcast episodes and the feed generation) instead of using a free or paid podcast hosting service (like anchor, libsyn, transistor, blubrry)?

If yes, what software do you use for hosting and where do you host the podcast software (like Digital Ocean, Linode, Hetzner, Vultr, AWS, GCP)?

Any further insights and suggestions are also welcome. Most paid podcast services seem to be too low on storage quota for the monthly price that they charge (storage becomes a bigger issue when creating several hours of content every month, with no ads or sponsorship to support the costs). I looked at the "awesome self hosted" list for options, but couldn't get a good grip. [1]

It's pretty easy to detect an hypervisor. There was an article recently on using CPUID timing to that effect. It takes a few cycles on bare metal, but hundreds when virtualized.

There are ways to defeat the time measurement, but it gets complicated fast, and the counter-measure itself is trivial to detect.

I chose it over other headless ecommerce projects because I think it really has potential to become a very popular frontend-agnostic platform to develop modern ecommerce systems.

Very easy to extend it with a flexible plugin-system, I think right now it's the best option in the node environment.

Ublock Origin/uMatrix on mobile significantly increase website performance and battery life on the average site, by blocking a a lot of advertising and tracking content.

To be fair for MD5 there is a known attack, it's just impractical. It's a real attack though because the whole point of a crypto hash is that you'd have to brute force it to win, and the paper shows a slightly quicker way because MD5 is broken. It's just not quick enough that you could actually do it.

Oh wait, perhaps you actually meant preimage as you said rather than I assumed second preimage. OK yes, that isn't ever going to be possible for non-trivial inputs.
