I examined the correlation between the Federal Reserve's Reverse Repo Operations which held as much as $2,300,000,000,000 in cash overnight for a small handful of institutions and, on the other hand, the S&P 500 index.

Correlation does not mean causation. Nonetheless, we can't rule out that the handful institutions put $2,300,000,000,000 in cash into the Reverse Repo Operations before slowly placing it in the S&P 500, except for when the bond and treasury markets gave favorable interest rates.

I believe that the two entities likely had a coincidence that either strongly moved together or in opposite direction for months at a time and these charts likely are meaningless. I would love to get some feedback and recommendations how to improve this analysis.

dish is a lightweight, 0 dependency monitoring tool in the form of a small binary executable. Upon execution, it checks the provided sockets (which can be provided in a JSON file or served by a remote JSON API endpoint). The results of the check are then reported to the configured channels.

It started as a learning project and ended up proving quite handy. Me and my friend have been using it to monitor our services for the last 3 years.

We have refactored the codebase to be a bit more presentable recently and thought we'd share on here!

The currently supported channels include:

- Telegram

- Pushgateway for Prometheus

- Webhooks

- Custom API endpoint

I am the CTO of a small Canadian company, we build energy management and process optimization platforms for industrial clients. Many of our clients are large US companies, and some of our employees travel to clients' sites for implementation or consulting work. As a result, they have to cross the border with their company phone and laptop.

In recent news, a French researcher traveling to a conference in Texas had his laptop seized by the US authorities, for reasons that are not well explained. It seems that the number of similar cases has increased at the US border.

If a company laptop was ceased by the US customs, this will objectively represent a security breach and threaten the confidentiality of our clients' data. Consultants have to have a local copy of some dataset (like production data, energy related info... ) from facilities to perform analysis on their computer.

I am considering issuing a warning to all our employees about this, but I am wondering if some of you have recommendations regarding this: - technical measures to limit our exposure. We use encrypted disks, can the border officer force you to provide the password / encryption key? - legal measures to protect the confidentiality of data from US-based companies. Can the federal government seized confidential data from US-based companies just because it crosses the border?

Thanks for your help!
