The is a hard to fix problem. It is always centralized somewhere. The only way this could change is if everybody was assigned a static ip and could host their own content from their own home server.
There is one overlooked aspect of public web forums like Reddit. Although it is temporary, you can get the results you want now by getting the word out to as many people as possible.
Java might in theory be faster but I have never seen a real Java team put out code that was capable of doing 10k requests per CPU per second. Always hitting per thread limits or logging lock contention or GC issues etc. except one thing written by a genius with NIO. Ordinary people can hit those performance numbers with Go and without special smarts.
Of course one shouldn't mistake those. But one has to understand, a tool is only as valuable as it actually produces result, not as what it could produce given a theoretical perfect programmer. C is an extremely capable programming language judging on "what you could do with it", but in reality, most programmers fail to create robust C code. And most Java code suffers from programmers using it in a less than optimal manner.
Also, Go does not suffer from some fundamental Java problems, though they slowly get corrected. Go has value types, unboxed arrays. Generally, no struct in Go is boxed automatically. You have first class functions in Go and of course, it is statically compiled. It is true, that Hotspot often produces very good code, but for a lot of szenarios, a statically compiled Go executable beats it, as run-time compilation is not required.
As I wrote, Java is in the process of adding features that mitigate its problems. My post was pointing out a few things where Go is clearly ahead of Java.
I understand the game plan. US financial institutions will accept bitcoin into its system but only pay merchants in USD. Bitcoin in, USD out. The bitcoin won't be let out because it is digital gold. Go long bitcoin. The federal government and its henchmen (banks, financial institutions) are acquiring bitcoin.
Its a walled garden. Cryptocurrency is federal, nation level politics. Many people have been beaten up over currency. It is a massive power to be able to force the the rest of the world to use your money for international trade and only you have the right to print that money.
Talk of the "post dollar world" and the "cashless society" has been going on for more than a decade.
There was a time when if you said people would wear tracking chips you'd be labeled a kook. Today people willingly carry smart phones connected to social networks.
The disruption is similar in both cases. The result is predictable. The goals have already been stated at Davos.
Interviewing.io is different from other recruiting startups because verified candidates get to directly book time slots with engineers at companies. Candidates get verified by taking multiple mock interviews (more data points).
Other competitors, such as Triplebyte, still have a recruiter in between interview and company. Even after you get verified and have good performance on the Triplebyte quiz and interview, there is still a recruiter who acts as a gatekeeper. That recruiter can prevent you from speaking to companies even if your interview performance was 99% percentile.
A central bank digital currency is like the system China has in place now. International payments are a different and challenging issue for central banks because blackmailing, drug dealing, gun running, and hostage situations that occur between nations can not have their money cancelled by the opposing nation.
