He also built the company, not the rockets. In a different thread here on HN, some of the SpaceX guys were commenting how he actually had very little understanding of rockets, understandably. But the credit goes to him regardless.

Is there a 'rick-rolled' meme but with blockchain?

This was the immediate and exact same thought I had the moment I read the first sentence of the post. Then I stopped reading. Clearly this was not an engineering decision, and passwords should be trusted to no one but competent engineers and cryptographers.

Damn, this hits so many nails that it's got to be one of the biggest HN posts in a while.

He does that all the time where he posts a link and quotes one or two paragraphs. It's also meant for the fanbase to comment on the post.

He was Charles I of Spain and V of Germany. Still good ol' Charles but different major version numbers; motherfucker inherited quite a bit of land.

The government publishes infection rates at the county level. The county's health department may also have guidelines that differ slightly from the general nation-wide ones. If there is an uptick of infections in the local community and the boosters are recommended there (though still not necessarily at the macroscopic level), then that seems pretty clear to me.
But I still concur with OP. I am not an expert, and I don't know how to choose between experts with differing opinions. What I do know is that I trust certain institutions more than others.

No, "not having evidence" isn't the same as having evidence against.
That is exactly the point that I made above.
And where does it so clearly state in the website that second part? And of course it's ok, but that doesn't make it a recommendation.

They don't recommend because they don't see clear evidence in outcomes. See my EMA link below. This doesn't make the recommendation any closer than recommending not to.

This case is simple for me: I'll always follow EU/Canadian healthcare guidelines before US ones by a very long shot, unless there is an immediate problem in my local community where the US guidelines make more sense.

Because only the US seems to have this guideline. Canada and the EU are not recommending boosters to the general population as pointed out above. It's similar for the flu; afaik, the EU recommends flu shots for ages 60+, not for the general adult population. The US makes a big deal every year on getting flu shots; in corporate media, in shops and outlets, etc.
Edit: I stand corrected on the Canadian front; I had old information.

ECDC/EMA seem to have similar guidelines:
https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/news/ecdc-ema-update-recommenda...
e.g. "At the moment, there is no clear evidence to support giving a second booster dose to people below 60 years of age who are not at higher risk of severe disease. Neither is there clear evidence to support giving early second boosters to healthcare workers or those working in long-term care homes unless they are at high risk."

Do you use any public libraries for those backend servers, or is it all home-grown? Curious what's at play.
