Thank you, reading the white paper from Coalfire about their service right now.

I would also appreciate a little comment on this because the readme doesn't do much explaining what it is, why it's important, how it's different from .NET Core 2 compiler? To put it in another way, why is this so relevant?

This is amazing and literally filling a void for companies aware of the benefits but lacking the budget. There's one last barrier though: how to use this in the cloud? A partnership with AWS to have this as a service would be amazing because their HSM offering is not affordable and also because for many compliance reasons companies use AWS (PCI DSS for example) and there would be no way to include HSM 2 there. Let's hope this happens!

Would it be possible to get an account for playing in the sandbox without living in South Africa?

Because you have knowledge of your own patterns, because you can change technology much faster and test many things as opposed to banks that usually evaluate enterprise super expensive software, usually neglect open source and hence don't always have the best tools. If you think the integration as an individual you probably cant, but if it's a company building on top of something like this, then it's totally possible to be better than the issuers and processors.

This is amazing. Are you on twitter or some other place I can find you and talk?

How far inside the bank do you APIs go? Do they deploy code you wrote or how are they providing the access? Did you build on top of some raw APIs? The hardest part of this businesses is probably that connection with the bank and I'm curious about what info you can share regarding that.

They have been manipulated. There's a investigation close to begin to the PR person of the NO leaders. I would agree with describing the Colombian people as "misguided children".

As they claim in the Q&A posted on Twitter, this encourages the process and celebrates the effort of president Santos to reach this far. If we do not reach an agreement to end this war it's a problem of other forces in the country and the ignorance of our people but for sure not by Santos failure. If we don't solve this for good, his brutal shift of the conflict from war to negotiation is already a great result.

Thank your for a reasonable comment! There is indeed a lot of ignorance from the outside. There's a logic to many points and theories but definitely people should be more informed even here in HN.

You don't benefit from mines, hard work conditions, no access to anything and the risk of getting bombed by planes or being in cross fire. I understand the logic for your question but once you check the facts of those parts of the country it's obvious that only the guerillas and huge land owners could be benefiting and they don't had enough control in this situation to affect the result of the vote.

The people who vote against claim they are not in favor of the war but in favor of another agreement. There's very few people in everyday life that want "the same". However, through many lies popular believe is that we can close the conflict making things even, like there's a better amazing deal we are missing altogether and need to stop and rethink it all. There's no full justice we can achieve as a country as there will never be anyone who can repair all the WWII deaths, destruction and suffering. That didn't mean that Europe couldn't recover and that Jews, as the most clearly affected group by size, where not able to cope and forgive in many cases. That's the point that voter against don't see and think they can easily get through another agreement.

I agree that Obama's was pretty shitty, but from my internal view as a Colombian I would really suggest that you find out about his work for peace. He's still a politician and hardly everyone's cup of tea, but he has really make a huge effort against many walls to find peace in Colombia. He has gone from defense minister all the way to finding an agreement we can implement. The patience to go between those such opposite positions is admirable.
