America does have just as good of an ability to secure reagent supplies as any other countries though, excluding the ones that produce it domestically. The exception time this is that different testing machines require different reagents.

It’s not like every country is getting a ration of the same number of units - so it shouldn’t be harder for large countries. Again this is likely an issue for smaller countries as they have to compete with America for a share of the reagent supply.
Schwartz Groupe Revenue quoted as €104.3 billion (18/19) and 420,000 employees (per wikipedia)

edit: we all answered together!
While the concerns over Schwarz Group's (because it is the parent group, not 'Lidl') lack of experience in the sector is valid, I do think some of the dismissive reactions here underline a major risk to future competitiveness in infrastructure providers.

Amazon is well established. Amazon has thousands of employees. Amazon does, ultimately, provide a good service. But Amazon is also dominant, demonstrates a callous disregard for worker rights in its other business arms, and has used its solid AWS profits as a way to prop up its undercutting and dismantling of other sectors.

Other businesses will not enter the space in as developed a state as AWS. That shouldn't be used as a negative against them even trying. Otherwise, AWS is only going to become more entrenched and the options for building at scale will become more limited.
What does current generation spysats collect?

I mean, it looks like the optical and near optical was the focus for spysats from the early days an up to the 80's. What are the frequency domain for the current sats? Can they listen to cellphone traffic, wifi-routers and bluetooth devices?

The capacity to target cellphones seems like a given. Being able to collect location and unique ids from wifi and bluetooth devices seems like a useful tool. Maybe even collect network traffic from and to specific networks and devices.
Sure it can. Also, a lot more engineers are required to take a product to market at a big corp than a startup.
Do they really? That’s an absurd number even by large company standards.
> If Hetzner ( Also from Germany ) cant / isn't competing with AWS, why does Lidl thinks they can?

Probably they want to repeat the success of AWS and apply the same pattern. Their retail businesses will provide base load for the cloud. Their own services can be developed in such a way that they can sell them to other retailers as cloud services. Or they develop a market place and switch to platform business.
In the short history of the Internet so far, domain names originally were free. Many of the early .com(mmercial) names, e.g., bbn.com, dec.com, etc., were registered for free. Some TLDs were non-commercial for a long time, e.g., Educase I think only began charging fees for .edu around 2006.

For me, the question remains why do user have to pay for domain names.

Users once had to pay for SSL certificates but it seems like Let's Encrypt found a way to work around that.

Why can't the same be done for domain names.

One could argue the "legitimacy" of LE certs is directly connected to, or even dependent upon, the "legitimacy" of the applicant's domain name registration. An ICANN-approved domain name registration is required to obtain a LE cert. Wonder why LE does not operate a domain name registry.

At an individual basis it can still be problematic as you can still get a super spreader who thinks they are immune, picks it up, then spreads it.

On a population basis it’s more helpful.
If you have an SSL, it can be installed. Contact the support team for details.
Even in your extreme example all of the deaths would have to be extremely old people to work out like that. People that statistically have very very few years left.

And for your extreme example to be true, it would have to be the case that the disease doesn't discriminate healthy from weak. But still somehow only kills old people. Because if the disease does discriminate healthy from weak, all of the deaths would be those that would die soon anyway.

Then you must divide whatever estimate you get from that by one hundred. Assuming the highest estimates that it kills around 1% of the victims, which I think are bit high.

I don't see any possible way you could run the numbers and get more than 2 weeks lowered life expectancy. There just are so few young deaths, and the total death rate is very low.
> Do not UPS your Security Keys to bad guys. I think even my deceased grandmother could have figured that out, if I read stories about people being successfully tricked into doing this I may despair about our species entirely

You'd be surprised. Back in the day banks here used what amounts to a one-time pad as a second factor for auth. You'd wire money and the bank would ask you for code #37 on your one time pad. Each code would only ever be used once and if your codes were near to running out your bank would send you a new one time pad.

A pretty clever and secure system you'd think. This of course didn't stop scammers from sending letters to people pretending to be their bank, asking if they could send in their old one-time pad and pin code in exchange for a new one time pad. Enough people fell for this for it to be an actual problem.

It's not quite sending your security keys to the bad guys but it gets pretty close!
This sounds like a misunderstanding to me.

When you look at the details, it looks much more as though they're launching an alternative to Ocado, a company providing technology for food retailers to offer home delivery - they work with Kroger in the US.

They have VC money to burn. Archive.org doesn't.

Lidl is world class and cheap. It's a solid operation, and has a long history of successfully undercutting "premium" brands.

But more interestingly the move suggests Amazon is in danger of real competition in commoditised cloud infrastructure, as well as retail marketing and logistics.

To an outsider, AWS is an incomprehensible mess of confusing service offerings which is nearly impossible to cost and only slightly easier to set up.

It's not hard to imagine a B2B offering which simplifies and commodifies the technology on offer and the way it's paid for.

And a B2C offering which copies Amazon Marketplace but with more consistent product quality.
Its not so crazy if you think of every AWS product as its own med-large startup... That being said, that is a rather large number in terms of absolute company size.
That must have been frustrating - I do feel like perhaps they made a mistake adding configuration to prettier at all!

Isn't that exactly what universities (at least top universities) are and always have been?
If you wanted to be a top cleric in the middle ages, you'd study in a university with the best manuscripts, the best scholars and the best clergy connections.

Whether you want to get into tech, academia or government you will try to get into the best universities because they have the best alumni network, the best resources and the best name recognition.

Now of course this only applies to extremely ambitious people (I don't think being ambitious is necessarily a good thing). Plenty of people are fine working at a regional bank. Plenty of people are fine living a simple, stable life in a local government administration. Those jobs can even be attractive to ambitious people, if you're a first generation immigrant from a dirt-poor background, a stable local government job with decent pay and benefits is certainly something worth striving for.
For such people a local community college will provide just the same level of knowledge and skills they'd get at a big name university.

I can't quite put my fingers on what's wrong with the article, but it rings to me as the perspective of someone who's only familiar with fancy colleges and has little knowledge (or care) for what actually goes on and who actually goes to smaller institutions.

This is of course the big issue with infrastructure. The problem isn't the people doing the work, the problem is that they need to get paid for doing the work. Funding infrastructure is a political decision.
Not too sure it is misleading. ( Or you could argue the term vCPU has been misleading from day 1 ) It is simply G2 dont offer SMT, so their 1 thread would just happen to be 1 CPU Core.

I believe We are not too far away from getting SMT4 on mainstream Server. So I think what we should learn is vCPU = CPU Thread.

It is more problematic when other vendors like Linode stop using the term vCPU and simply refers to CPU. When it is actually still 1 thread and not 1 Core. And I have seen other vendor doing the same. Comparatively speaking, Amazon has been very consistent in vCPU naming.
It is maybe not world class, but compared to other options in EU, it's first class

Does it affect performance?
I might not want VACUUM to trigger during high workload.
There is a long tail of routes where single occupancy is not just more desirable, but also more efficient. Think of all the time and energy wasted idling and searching for the second or third car pooler. Self-driving cars also drive more efficiently, negating some of the benefits of carpooling. Another factor in cities is that tiny cars are more pedestrian friendly. Cities can and should tax vehicle size as a negative externality.

A single ride hailer should be sent a sedan when they are on a more conventional route with easy pickup and drop off points. That would make more sense from both a unit cost and quality perspective than pooling every time. Augmented reality could also highlight and fill open seats quickly, including when that second carpooler can’t be found.
And Lidl/Schwarz especially has a strict No-Amazon-Policy. They see Amazon as a competitor, so if you want to work with them on a corporate level, you must not use AWS to process or store anything relating to their business. They do make exceptions, but you better be prepared to make a hell of a case for your product for them to reach up to upper management and ask for an exception to buy your services.

And it makes sense, of course. If you rely on US-companies, you're dependent on the US. Any political or economical conflict will result in Washington pressuring US-companies and you'll be in a bad place. Given that most European governments (and Germany's especially) are very unhappy with the current US administration, it's obvious that they'd want to reduce dependencies.

OCW opens up top-notch education to anyone and everyone, regardless of social or economic background. I wouldn’t take it for granted even with MIT’s eye-watering endowment, and I doubt donations to it are going to be paying cafeteria lunches for the students.

I hope you’re donating and actively contributing to many non-profit projects and that your comment comes from being tired of the world’s injustices rather than from callous impertinence, although I suspect it does not.
Lidl is also my first choice in Sweden when it comes to supermarket. It does not make sense for me to pay 30-50% more of my money to a relatively same product from COOP or ICA.

Imo, they're already good at the supermarket business. I am wondering, instead of doing something out of their expertise, why they do not try to focus and beat other players in their core business. I think there are plenty of areas that can be improved. Having only 70 army and try to be on par with AWS is preposterous!
> Nursing home populations are at greater risk, but even if the IFR is 3-5% for that cohort, the population mortality would be some fraction of that,

Looking much higher than that. 80+ is 15-20% and 70-79 is 8% (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se...). It'll be concentrated more in people with pre-existing conditions so I expect nursing homes would see greater figures than that.

So we're not talking about one or two deaths but a large proportion of your residents suddenly getting ill in the same way and of those a large proportion dying over a short period.

Pinephone feels like the closest I might get to a completely open platform that would see everyday use. My phone is of course the device that sees the most use.

It would be excellent to review the source code but its intractable to review everything.

An idea: how feasible would it be to either use static analysis or some kind of call tracing on this platform?

For a simple task like “boot phone”, one could reduce the source code down to the bare minimum needed to review for individual actions.

One could just delete code at will I suppose to make something that boots and does nothing else but I suspect getting it to compile would be very difficult. Tracing execution feels a bit more doable.
The actual charge was "maleficium", using magic to harm people. Things like poisoning also counted, although we wouldn't consider that magic today. The important point was the intention to cause harm.

Of course that was hard to prove or disprove, but we have examples of alleged witches accepting payment for harming/killing other people using whichcraft - like a contract killer. So at least the intention to cause harm was there in some cases.

There are numerous accounts of people having (alleged) supernatural abilities who was not persecuted, e.g ascetics surviving without eating for years and such. These were generally held in high regard, and could end up as saints.

Of course people could be accused for maleficium on really flimsy evidence so it could also hypothetically happen to the hypothetical slow-aging person just like it could happen to anybody else.

I've been to LIDL / Schwarz Group headquarters in Heilbronn last year, and while they're a super young company with a vibrant atmosphere (which quite unique amongst large German companies), IMO they are ultimately too much attached to their legacy cash cows.

They are not streamlining retail processes because they earn too much money with it.
They have great IT talent, which is building fancy pilots all day, but refuse roll them out because it will cannibalize their core business. Their core business is keeping people in the store for as long as possible so they buy more stuff.

On the logistics side, they have been the first large-scale retailer to digitize the EUR-pallets (they have RFID-based plastic pallets) which allows for some pretty fancy stuff.

They roll out their pallet processing tech at the suppliers' plant and have logistics data in their systems even before it is loaded on the suppliers' trucks.

>subsidized enough by investor cash

Investors have no reason to subsidize costlier transportation modalities that customers may not even prefer half the time. As for the verbiage, I don’t think self-driving car subscription services will brand themselves as taxi fleets. They will replace the vehicle that you own and that sits on your driveway 97% of the time (that’s a general “you”). However, Americans like the feeling of ownership over their vehicle. The name of the service should take that into account.

If you look at the core technology only, then you often just need a handful of experts. It's all the rest that is the problem.

The REAPER DAW was written by one person. The initial Linux kernel was written by one person. cURL was written by one person and even your BMW uses it [1]. The original Skype was written by three programmers. The list goes on... Of course, you later get a lot of maintainers joining the projects. But you certainly don't need 40 000 programmers if you are not selling your product, or not selling it yet. And even then I think a lot of those jobs are, while they are useful for AWS, not part of the core development.
