It breaks a central goal of HN, which is a non-siloed experience where the entire community is exposed to the same feed.

You keep mentioning seL4. I'm curious what work you've done with it. (I've done a bunch of L4 work.)

That's like 4-5 principal components back from the first principal component, which is that the places that need housing market vitality the most could not reasonably afford to acquire the housing to support it. The best school systems

(For the uninitiated, the government [and sponsored co-ops] owns almost half the housing in Vienna, and eligibility for social housing, which is seen as desirable, extends deep into the middle class.)

Worth mentioning here that appeals to social housing have over the last 20 years been absolutely classic NIMBY arguments. People raise it because they know significant amounts of social housing won't get built, but if you fix the gatin

This analysis, for whatever it's worth, is wrestling with a straw man. Klein and Thompson never claim that permitting reform is the only lever available. The housing strategy Abundance documents is that of the YIMBY movement, and YIMBY

Amusingly, this is the 2nd time you've tried to argue with me about this Theo post. Last time, you yourself brought it up as a model of a good security argument. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41071954 Rather tha

These are a lot of words that I think are trying to work around the fact that LPEs are commonplace and KVM escapes are very rare.

Yep. Linked in the header. It's very good.

You can falsify these claims simply by looking at the records of platform vulnerabilities. I don't think this is a live argument.

I agree with everybody else who's wondered why this got posted today.

So far as I know there's no standard booster protocol for Shingrix.

I don't know. I don't use Proxmox.

See this is the information I'm looking for. :)

This looks better than the other native Go GUI frameworks. Frameworks like these are a really good target for coding agents: the biggest impediment to building a new UI framework is the sheer amount of meticulous grunt work needed. So, sure

I mean, I agree there. We all have dumb takes! I hear roughly once a month about my old "I don't think Dual EC is a backdoor, it's too dumb and obvious for anyone to actually use it" take.

I'm pretty confident I could talk my PCP into it! I'm just wondering if there is some easier retail way to do it.

Sure, I mean, he was wrong, and I assume he knows he's wrong, and wouldn't say the same thing today. He's not dumb. Just this take is.

No it is not. Ranked list of outcomes: 1. Not getting chickenpox at all. Highly desirable. 2. Getting chickenpox as a kid. 3. Getting chickenpox as an adult.

It does, but that's an argument about implementations, and his comment is an argument about design. Just read it again and see if you think it's reasonable. Pay attention to the tone and (especially) the conclusory certainty he de

Yes. I really want this vaccine.

You are more likely to have a recurrence of shingles after once having it before. At any rate, I had mine more than 10 years ago.

There isn't a causal mechanistic link between shingles and Alzheimers. We don't know why the Shingrix vaccine reduces incidence of Alzheimers. (You should very much want to avoid any chance of getting shingles, though; it's

I've tried to get the shingles vaccine at Walgreens before and been turned down because I wasn't old enough.

One of his dumber takes. Virtualization replaces an ultra-functional general-purpose kernel evolved over decades to support every conceivable application with a drastically smaller "kernel" (KVM and the userland hypervisor). It&#x

I think the bigger thing is that the vaccine has a peak response window, and the current medical guidance lines that up with when you're epidemiologically most likely to experience a shingles outbreak (for most people, that's very

No! The opposite thing is true. Getting chickenpox as a kid drastically increases your likelihood of getting shingles as an adult. The initial chickenpox infection is the mechanism by which you're set up for shingles: you get it, fig

by tptacek 4mo ago
No, the opposite. If you've had shingles before, you're more likely to get it again later, not less.

That may be the case in other countries, but in the US we're generally fee-for-service, so the incentives are reversed, and we still don't give it until you're 50 (which, as someone who has had it and is under 50, annoys me t
