Most definitely. Being relatively young, I don't think it's any different. In a work environment it's always "Sie", until one is offered "du". First name/family name depends on how companies/individuals handle it.

Apart from that, people handle it differently. "Sie" basically always for people older than you and some use "du" for others around your age (unless it's in a more professional setting). There is no difference between the countryside and cities.

> After watching this and having read the comment, I am quite puzzled by the approach American seems to take to linear algebra. Are matrices viewed as the core of the subject in the USA ?

The US is a very big place. I doubt there is an american approach to linear algebra. We really don't have a single approach to anything. Different schools and majors probably approach the topic differently. My college had a linear algebra course specifically crafted for CS majors and engineers. I took that and it did focus on matrices. It was also the only math class that required programming. I believe math majors had their own linear algebra course.

> My country curriculum introduces linear algebra through group theory and vector spaces. Matrices come later.

One major factor is just how early California ordered residents to shelter-in-place (or "lockdown"). Several San Francisco Bay Area counties issued an order on March 17. Governor Newsom then issued a statewide order on March 19. On that day, California had 1,006 cases. Compare this to New York's 7,102 cases on March 20 when its residents were ordered to shelter-in-place, or Italy's 9,172 cases on March 9 when its national lockdown was instituted. So New York and Italy were already quite behind to start with.

California also has a few other things going for it, for example: CA's urban areas are not as dense as somewhere like NYC. Compared to Italy, the population is relatively young. Many people have professional jobs that can be done remotely (companies like Google and Facebook sent their employees home even before March 12). Public transit is very bad in CA, so almost everyone drives their own car.

You have to compare the cost of potential information bottlenecks with the cost of no deeper work being done at all. To combat the bottlenecks, just include shared spaces - a kitchen with a water cooler, a foosball table, a customary time where people go to lunch as a group. Serendipity will happen there, and workstations can be reclaimed as places for concentration.
Certifications exist mostly to (1) filter talent and (2) create barriers to entry.

ie., People who cannot get a required certification (eg., degree) are probably not very capable. AND by requiring a degree we make the profession harder to enter and therefore more lucrative.

Much of what is provided during most certification processes (high school to undergrad) isn't learnt, and that which is, isn't very useful.

They exist more as race tracks to measure athlete performance. The athelete isn't expected to remember or care about the race track, only finishing.

> I'd like team size cubicles. That would sound to me like a good compromise between collaboration, and deep work.

I agree, but isn't that just a room? When I was doing research at my university, all of the offices were laid out this way -- each group had one room where they all worked so they could discuss things (and the building is one of the older buildings in our 200-year-old university). Also (though I work from home) when we have face-to-face meetings at my employer's offices, the offices are similarly laid out (2-6 people from the same team in a room).

I knew that the open offices thing was the new fad in "efficiency improvements to the workplace which are actually just a way to save money", but is it really so common now that people feel the need to reinvent the room and call it a "team sized cubicle"?

It's true, as an American here in Munich, buying too many groceries at once is anxiety-inducing. I have to limit how much I buy at once, because otherwise it's too much to fit on the conveyor belt, such that I have to wait for items to be scanned so that I can put more things on. Which leads to not being fast though putting things back in the cart (so that I can bag separately later), which pisses everyone off.

I appreciate the low prices, but it also makes buying groceries kind of stressful in a way that was never true in the US.

Not hit that bad by C19. But what about other unintended consequences?

For example, in NYC, domestic violence calls are down. The fear is, the abusee is too afraid to call. Suicides are up. Substance abuse is up. Those who are locked down are putting on weight and becoming unhealthy; C19 does better when paired with other conditions. The economic fallout hasn't hit yet. And so on.

I'm not taking sides (i.e., pro v anti lockdown). I am noting that C19 cases and fatalities coded as C19 are not the only KPIs. There's a bigger picture. We need to look at that bigger piture.
The problem is that this efficiency comes from being a huge corporation with a tight hold on the market. Not an outright monopoly, but with the ability to bleed money in some areas to outcompete smaller stores and the ability to negotiate big contracts by virtue of sheer clout in the market.

Walmart is so big that it utterly dominates the market, to the detriment of everyone else. But because they're able to sell everything at the lowest price, people go there. It's impossible to compete with Walmart.

It's a clear example of why the invisible hand of the free market is a dangerous myth.

Indeed. But nothing nothing stops them from storing torrents of torrents. The search index would be just that, the text index. Which would point to another torrent storing the actual content. Assets would point to yet other torrents.

Someone else mentioned 'hubris' here. We had a Lidl open up near us 2 years ago (in the US) - generally good store with good prices. Nice size. We were looking forward to more. We saw where they'd opened some of their stores, and couldn't figure out the justification - some locations just seemed odd. Read a few months later that they were 'scaling back' US development, and new build stores would be about half the size of the one we got (which... isn't huge). They couldn't hire regional people to help them find better locations?

Their inventory system seems out of whack - the stuff we buy regularly will just ... vanish, never to come back. We've been shopping and heard others complain of the same thing - sometimes the same items we were looking for (and had used to buy).

Their in store bakery was initially great - for about a week, then scaled back and rarely has anything fresh - regardless of time of day. You can tell if/when there's been some regional VP to visit that day because the bakery is hot/fresh/piping that day, then... offline. Now... many US folks in grocery stores may not be used to 'good bakeries', and perhaps it was a money loser for them, but... they didn't really give ours a chance to develop with the local shoppers in the first place. Give people more than 2 choices of bread - do it for a month or two, to give people time to try out options, get a rhythm, etc. Buying something, liking it, then coming back 3 days later for more and the bakery is effectively 'closed'... doesn't make you want to come back.

I wish they'd focus more on better in store inventory/stocking before moving to be an AWS-killer....
> Elastic compute of the type provided by EC2 and similar services (Google Compute Engine, etc.) is a fundamentally different service than simple VPS.

What is the fundamental difference that you speak of?

At least to me, the only major difference is that while AWS markets their VMs as EC2 because they were designed for elasticity (i.e variable compute workloads), which explains the elastic in the name EC2; VPS providers OTOH market their VMs as a cheaper alternative to dedicated servers (i.e. fixed compute workloads).

The difference in pricing largely follows from the difference in design since the cloud shines when your resource needs are elastic. VPSes shine when your resource needs are largely inelastic.

> Carmakers are also defined as a COVID19 critical industry,

There is no such thing.

There are federally-defined critical infrastructure sectors, which are independent of COVID-19, and may or may not be relevant to any state or county emergency order (many such orders have used the federal critical infrastructure sectors list as a baseline, with or without modification, either incorporating the list modified or in its original form or referencing it), but there's no such thing as anything defined (outside of particular state or county orders) as a “COVID19 critical industry”, and carmakers are not so designated in the only orders relevant to the Tesla case.

You assign too much reasoned behaviour to 'luck'. Its impossible to discuss reason if you hide it behind luck.

The average consumer doesnt need to be given a bachelor's degree in economics to make a choice on making a company bigger or smaller with their purchase. I know people who support smaller business and it is independent of education.

Amazons offer to the end consumer, is not a hard sell. Theres no drug dealing physical addiction, nobody wakes up with a horses head in their bed and no guns held to people's head. The offer is buy an item that costs money. That's it.

People sign up. They want 0.50c cheaper with overnight delivery. The people see the benefit and convience of internet shopping and choose it. Small businesses failing to keep up and relying on thinking of the population as dumb and unlucky to force redistribution of wealth are not helping their own case.

Many small businesses have succeeded massively off the same medium amazon is using, the internet and it's not 'luck'.

I had written a post on my page some time ago:

https://www.franzoni.eu/productivity-the-office-and-an-open-...

TL;DR: the open office may not be a problem per se. Instead:

1) It's a problem if you get a very large open office with excessive employee density and/or with different kind of employees around. This usually results in a lot of noise and/or distractions from unrelated teams.

2) It's a problem if there're not other places where to go have video/phone calls, and/or if some people need to be constantly on their phone/meeting system.

Privacy, safety and a calm environment should be a must for an office. Otherwise, what's its purpose?

There have been a couple cases where Project Zero ended up identifying and reporting vulnerabilities that were actively being used to target vulnerable audiences (minorities, activists, journalists, etc).

Here's one: https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2019/08/a-very-deep-d...

Note that in my example Google says the attacks were not targeted - this is true in the sense that they indiscriminately attacked anyone visiting those websites. Unfortunately the websites selected were specific and it later turned out that this was in fact used to attack some specific targets - journalists and activists, iirc.
Some details:

>18 rats were divided into three groups. 6 young rats (30 weeks old), 6 old rats (109 weeks old) & 6 old rats (also 109 weeks old) treated with plasma fractions from the young rats.

>Plasma fraction treatment consists of two series of IV injections, four times on alternate days for 8 days. A 2nd series of injections were given 95 days later. In its entirety, the experiment lasted 155 days.

>Blood was drawn at regular intervals for analyses to monitor the impact and cognitive functions were assessed 4 times. DNA methylation profiles of several organs were generated and age was calculated using six epigenetic clocks.

>Using the final versions of their epigenetic clocks the reversal was: liver 75%, blood 66%, heart 57%, hypothalamus 19%. Average rejuvenation across four tissues was 54.2%.

Ask HN: What's the recommended way to generate access keys for my customers?
Our users are developers that use our SDK in their apps. We need to generate a possibly set of access keys that they use to initialize our SDK.

The SDK is on their client-side so these access keys must be public.

An example of this might be the config keys that Firebase uses in their service.

If the point of the domain name for you is marketing, then get one you think is "memorable" and use it as a CNAME.

The point for me would be non-marketing uses, e.g., to get an SSL cert so I do not have to use a self-signed one when monitoring encrypted egress traffic from the local network. That name does not need to be memorable. I can get a free cert from Let's Encrypt but I cannot get free domain name. Best I can get for free is a subdomain of someone else's domain name.

As you know, not every domain name is used for the purposes of email addresses or a website. To use a common example, AWS Cloudfront subdomains are not memorable but they are useful to AWS. Like subdomains, domain names can still be useful without being memorable.
Yup. My advice was going to be “Delete it” .
I see several pretty big issues with that. It would leave empty rows and pages since there is no guarantee that there will ever be a scan which hits a particular page which contains deleted rows. Additionally if you recently have deleted a lot of rows the next sequential scan could become very exprnsive since suddenly a read query needs to dirty a lot of pages, maybe more pages than the number of available buffers forcing our read query to have to wait on write io.

What PostgreSQL has though is micro vacuum where PostgreSQL tries to remove any no longer visible rows when it already has to modify a page. But it only does this as long as no index updates are necessary.
