You don't really 'introduce non-determinism'. That's like saying, "why did you introduce entropy?" It's there. It happens, and it's difficult to get rid of in any complex system. https://en

We do something similar to this at Userify / ssh key management (disclaimer: I'm the founder/CEO): We give away 20 servers for free -- no invoice, no credit card needed, nothing. Once you exceed 20 servers, we charge (it&#x27
