I don't know how Google solved this, but it's an old solution. Shamir secret sharing. You break apart your keys into M pieces, where you need N pieces to reconstruct the key, so let's say 3/8. Then you need 3 pieces o

I started programming python in 98. It won because before that, Perl was king. Have you seen perl? Python made a great decision, it was the anti perl. One way to do things, keep the syntax easy and simple. Force whitespace indents. Be
