Not really. ACH is more of a protocol for non-realtime payments. This is for realtime. While there is a fed ACH the largest ACH provider in the US is The Clearing House LLC. Which, as the name suggests, is a private company.
I love that you've been entirely correct in both of these replies haha. Like, that really is it: nuclear deterent against nuclear weapons. Whose? Doesn't matter.
The learning curve is an interesting one. We've had new devs contribute within a sprint from zero knowledge. When they are contributing to an established platform.
Once they start looking beyond the walled garden things get complex. Scala supports a lot of variety in approaches. Which do they choose? Which is ”better"? Those questions can be hard to answer.
For me the variety of choice is great. For a new dev... Not so much.
Seconding what the below poster says. Spark and akka. Akka streams, specifically, was the only real distributed streaming system for a very long time. Which is very, very nice for low latency. Even now it's tough to beat.
The Koreans I know don't want "unification" because North Korea is not a country they recognize as "the same" anymore. Maybe 50 yrs ago but that's over a generation ago.
As for war crimes, article one states: ""settle any international disputes in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered, and to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations."
So only so much as war crimes are inconsistent with the UN. In short, probably do care. But only as much as "refrain".
As for the second question: no. Can't join if at war. Why tho? I can't find a clear answer. The arguments range from: no, because that put article 5 in conflict with article 1. No, because then that means war with Russia and nobody wants that. No, because the process to join NATO requires political, economic and military integration that cannot occur while a country is at war.
