Forget Reign, I doubt if an introvert could even survive LinkedIn as that's where they hunt for talent.

LinkedIn's algorithm overwhelmingly favors conformists, On any typical day 'Look what I have done, Why are people not doing this, To be great like me ...' type posts can get 30,000 likes and an Introvert can't even compete with that.

The issue of conformity does persist in all social media, But LinkedIn has taken it to a whole new level and that a professional is expected to have an LinkedIn account deserves special scrutiny as it's biased.
I live in one of those cities; a street I biked along yesterday was a village path four hundred years ago.

Last Friday, a politician here said that in her opinion, most cars will be banned from the central area in about six years. UPS vans will drive anywhere, taxis will too, plumbers will, you won't. UPS, taxis and plumbers are necessary, justified, you're just loud. Her predictions have been good before.

The set of necessary cars is a small subset of cars. Plumbers need to have a van full of spare parts, but that justifies letting them drive, it doesn't justify letting everyone drive everywhere.

However your comment underestimates racism. It may not have happened in front of your eyes, but in this world there are people who will for example:

- be willing to verbally _or physically_ assault a person because of their skin colour (yes, to the point of serious injury or death)

- deliberately undermine a good candidate's chances of getting a job or promotion _because of their skin colour_

- deliberately undermine a good tenant's chances of finding a place to live close to work or a good school

Most people (including myself) are shocked to learn of situations like this once presented with evidence of it. I'm honestly talking about something as straightforward and undeniably racist as: a landlord asking a real estate startup to screen out any black tenants.

There's also a huge range of experiences where the above happen across lines of race but more accidentally. Racist outcomes without racist intentions. All the kids who can afford to live near the good schools are white, all the informal mentorship happens to people who are similar in background to the founder, etc.

The reason "emphasising importance of race" happens is because there's no chance of avoiding or preventing these situations if we pretend/hope that they don't happen. I might have misinterpreted you, but "trying to get past it" feels like pretend/hope rather than a willingness to fix things.

That's not true. On my iPhone, I just quit the app when a video ad starts playing and then reopen it. For me, the ads play after I've finished a lesson, and doing this it still saves my progress. Quit and restart is quicker than watching some dumb video (and even if it isn't, I'd rather spend my time restarting than watching a video ad)
I'm planning a future where I retire in a pure electric mobile home. Charge in the sun and use syngas for cooking and boosted heating in the winter. Heat pump keeps the interior cool or warm.

A smaller mobile home I can easily just tinker around in and keep it tidy and running.

I have a permanent wanderlust and desire to explore.

The fact is you did not short anything but you bought a put option.

Even if I agree with you on bitcoin having an intrinsic value less than that of toilet paper, these reasons would have been true before the recent high point too. Instead, it reached that high point and an equivalent put would have expired worthless. Meaning you would have lost all of your investment.

I think shorting is a better idea as it relies less on timing. But with the fed pumping massive amounts of money into the us economy, I think you are still not unlikely to get margin called for a bet that the fed will not destroy the value of the dollar faster than the bitcoin goes back where it came from.

I feel sorry for the victim, but it sounds like this whole setup is more or less careless. If your Docker configuration is the only thing that's stopping your database from being exposed - you should reconsider your approach to network and database security. At the very least there should be firewall protection at host level. Further is a standard procedure to put unsecure endpoints in a private VPC that's not accessible from the internet (and a bastion for administration). Relying solely on docker for something as important is bad even if you configure it correctly - it's still a single layer of software protecting you and it may have vulnerabilities of its own.

A few of these points also apply to some of the companies I've worked for as a consultant. It frequently came with the "digital transformation" buzzword; in effect, the "old guard" was either put aside or outright fired, and a new crew of people mostly unfamiliar with each other were given the assignment to basically rebuild the whole IT landscape.

Which can work, I think, but you need seniors in there that put a limit on people's enthusiasm, or else you get bad decisions - programming languages you can't find people for, a microservice architecture that is more cargo cult and wishful thinking than actually necessary, and of course the software engineering's equivalent to pump and dump, that is, eager young developers who vomit out 50K LOC a year, then disappear for greener pastures without adequate handover. These projects are doomed to fail because the next generation that has to continue development and maintenance are almost always of "lower" level than the ones you built it, so the whole thing stagnates until the cycle repeats.
A more fundamental criticism is that "status" itself is a subjective, cultural and temporally unstable concept so I don't see how humanity can collectively "overestimate" our status simply because it doesn't accord with a particular economic measure of it. (It may be related to the old observation that the American poor see themselves as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires", but it's a massively overstated, stretchy version of that idea)

There are plenty of reasons to see our "status" as closer to peers of Jeff Bezos or the Duke of Westminster than serfs deserving only to serve them (not least Jeff and the Duke probably seeing it that way too!) and I'm not sure the size of the economic gap corrects that perception, which is based mostly on other measures of self worth

I get where you are coming from but this is a highly adversarial environment where huge amounts of other people's money is at stake with a history of very clever hacks. This looks like precisely the sorts of systems where you ought to raise the bar as high as possible.

Another curious thing to note is that the legal requirements on transaction delays are mostly regarding wealth control, scams and ensuring its difficult to launder money. Strictly speaking, if bitcoin was treated as a currency, or even a publicly traded derivative, internationally a lot of them would apply to bitcoin. Bitcoin of course cannot obey these by design, but the more popular it gets, the more countries will try to enforce these, most recently china. That bitcoin is more vulnerable to state actors than people seem to think is pretty funny too. If china turned all its supercomputing clusters to bitcoin mining without building anything new, they might well become big enough to control the blockchain. If they made an investment in asics large enough to match just the recent baidu supercomputer, they would control the blockchain entirely. So good luck getting your assets out when they decide to really enforce their rules. Just kidding, this will only ever be approved when the officials in charge want to really own a lot of bitcoin^^. More realistically they would just simultaneously and long term kill every major exchange via hacking and ddos and asset freezes, but thats just because that would be cheaper.

GDS have done some excellent work in the past, especially around usability and design. Unfortunately since the various senior leaders have left and it's moved further into government/cabinet office they have increasingly started to become something of a parady of themselves.

It's interesting that one of the original principles behind gov.uk navigation was that it should be secondary to Google. The focus was on getting people to the right page from Google/Bing/DDG (where they start) without the need to navigate gov.uk itself.

I also find it odd that the problem they identified from the Discovery was poor information architecture but their solution is to redesign the navigation menu. The use of the word 'topics' is also interesting. Again, GDS and gov.uks intent was to make it easier to access services, but the word service or a list of services isn't represented in either the current design or prototype.

No, the Java compiler does not do this. You can try it yourself and see. All dependencies are bundled into the JAR. If you have some large library as a dependency (like BoofCV or JavaFX for instance) then all of the classes and dependencies are bundled. Even if you don't use 99% of them. That's why a lot of Java libraries are broken up into many smaller sub-libraries which you can then manually pick and choose from. It's also why you sometimes see people re-implement smaller sections of larger libraries - b/c you don't want to be forced to drag in the whole mess of code

As far as I understand, and I'm murky on the details, but if you're language supports reflection then you can call any dependency during runtime. And so this is not amenable to static analysis. So the Java compiler doesn't have the same guarantees as say a C++ compiler.

Most people are running JVM on the server so they just don't care about executable size (and on Android people use proguard). But reflection in general is a source of headaches..

If you use something like GraalVM then it will try to prune dead code but it will not work well with reflections.

That all being said, on the specifics, I'm actually not entirely sure how you'd use reflection to arbitrarily call library code at run time. If anyone knows, I'd be curious to see an example

Weird to hear you say this. Many of your HN comments on Bitcoin demonstrate a rather collectivist take on crypto.

Yet this feature of Bitcoin (lost Bitcoin are effectively fairly shared among all participants) is probably the most "fair" feature of the system.
