You have a pretty strongly worded stance, but you don't provide an argument for it. May I suggest you detail why exactly you think their perspective is wrong, apart from "a lot of problems in the past could have been avoided"?

My view here isn't uncommon, even if it's a minority view. I've noticed a lot of people tend to just defend and adopt the stances of projects they like or use without necessarily thinking things through, and I assume that's at least partly the case here.

There's been a lot of criticism written on the kernel devs stance over the last, what, 20 years? One obvious problem is that without giving security bugs, i.e. vulnerabilities priority, systems stay vulnerable until the bug gets patched at whatever place in the queue it happens to be at.

It is if some other condition is violated that is more important. Then the design might have to be reconsidered.

I'd ask the opposite: are hospitals the places where the immunities develop or are they merely the places where the presence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is most deadly and therefore investigated?

The dangerous thing about antibiotic immunity is that it can transfer also between bacteria species.

The doctor likely didn't recommend it because GP is 40 years old. Most people's sex lives is comparatively... boring at that age.

The bigger issue is that someone who is 40 has likely already been exposed. I know women who had to ask to get it in their late 20's, and only succeeded after convincing the doctor they had been celibate up to that point. Apparently such a thing is relatively rare.

In either case this neither means that they are now immune against that specific strain, nor that they can't or won't get infected by another. Therefore that reasoning is flawed.

Yeah that’s the way I take it - “you’re probably not going to convince many people to sleep with you.”

Kind of hurts my pride, but seeing as I'm older than 40, and my wife and I are pretty freaking boring, the vaccine is better spent on someone with more opportunities ahead of them.

I really hate these vaccine specific awareness campaigns. Not only do they hurt my vanity, but I know too many people who are anti-vaxers, or into weird fake medicines.

I just go with what my doctor says. If social media says something different, social media is wrong.

But really, don’t get your vaccine schedule from Hacker News.

The activists on these threads should probably be pushing folks to get their kids vaccinated.

There is no justification for that IMHO. The program text only needs to be in memory once. However, each process probably has its own instance of the JS engine, together with the website's heap data and the JIT-compiled code objects. That adds up.

I'd very much like a crash in one tab not to kill other tabs. And having per tab sandboxing would be more secure, no?

What do you mean? All these features are provided by process per tab.

Browsers can get quite bloated, especially if one is not in the habit of closing tabs or restarting it from time to time. IDEs, other development tools, and most Electron abominations are also not shy about guzzling memory.

That's beside the point. This is about citizenship, which, once granted, doesn't become forfeit that easily. A fact that one would presume to be prominently stated on an ID document.

It's not surprising at all that a single country could do this, especially since it's such a relatively affluent one and none of their neighbors had anything similar.

Thailand is definitely not an affluent country.

That why I used the word relatively. Many of its neighbors are way less affluent.

It's still simpler to deal with EU regulations instead of dealing with the national regulations of each member country. The weaknesses of the EU are where the member countries are not aligned yet.

The problem is that it also prevents countries from reducing the regulations in order to foster local innovation, avoid disadvantageous rules (there are more lobbyists than bureaucrats in Brussels, for a reason) or adapt to a new reality (AI being a good case). Moreover, each country still have their own specific laws, the EU regs come on top, and don't decrease the amount of laws. And the EU votes a lot of laws, since its the main power it has, on average 7 per day.

Individual countries are free to scrap their own regulations that are redundant or counterproductive due to EU regulations. There are still a lot of domains that are not or under-regulated by the EU. Since that doesn't seem to happen, something on the national level is not working, and the utility of national legislation over EU legislation starts to seem doubtful.

Traditional banks have already been severely disrupted by financial start-ups that only charge low fees. People will switch if they feel the cost pressure.

I don't know about the mainland but in the UK most fintech startups ultimately try to get a bank license and become fully fledged banks.

That's just the legal red tape to further encroach on the turf of traditional banks. They are still significantly cheaper.
