I've yet to see any law that requires a specific feature. Usually they're worded like "has a control for preventing unauthorized access to accounts". The definition of unauthorized, access, accounts, and even control are

I'm talking about "potentially" moving servers based on credible claims of upcoming changes. In this particular case, we don't have any business interest in mainland china, so I'm willing to speculate based on other

We have servers in HK. Not to reach mainland China, but to service all SE Asia. We chose HK because it has the best balance of latency between all destinations. If PRC decides to move HK behind the great firewall, we'd move our servers

I can't get into too much detail, but there were increased failure rates during a few jobs. In one case, we added ionice. In another it was a matter of adding a missing index to the DB (full table scan instead of looking at records fro

Regarding the specific definition of M1, you'll have to research. I'm not a banker or an economist, I'm just remembering a macro econ course from 10 years ago. It's entirely possible that the US Federal Reserve Bank has

Define "issued". M1 is typically checking accounts and cash. M2 is stocks and things that are easily convertible into money. The rest of the M's are defined similarly, but the exact definitions vary from person to person. M1

From glancing at the code, this is an observer pattern over asyncio and unix sockets. That means you're unable to communicate outside the current machine (short of hacks like ssh socket forwarding), but adding support for tcp endpoints

In a nutshell: they aren't. The economics of it are that in many places in the world, it is extremely difficult to fire an employee. Getting rid of an underperformer can take time, effort, and exposes the company to liability if the te

Isn't this overkill to verify that you don't have any invalid states? Consider the state machine as a directed graph, reverse each edge and run DFS from the end state. if you have any vertices in the graph you didn't visit, t
