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

• BJanecke 10y ago
  "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.
