So what about the data privacy in the USA, and patriot act and all that. Also think fin tech where geolocation means more things than just latency.

  Why does latency matter for fin tech for a repository / source control?

    "more things than just latency" Some financial institutions require all sensitive* data to be stored/hosted in the same country/state(archaic yes). It's real hard to actually define sensitive data but the IP* in some code a quant wrote can totally be considered a trade secret by a non technical person Please don't get me started on how stupid I think it is that people consider code to be IP

      >archaic yes Definitely not archaic. If the FISA courts taught you anything, it should be that the country your things are living in determines which entities can tap your traffic/hardware.
