I'm a cybersecurity leader with 15+ years of experience in software engineering, site reliability engineering, product security, offensive security, and management. I recently took the summer off to take care of my kids while my wife started a grad school internship. Now I'm back and looking for a new opportunity. Before this, I was at HubSpot, leading infrastructure security (cloud security, vulnerability management) and a new group we called Threat Operations, responsible for incident response, threat intelligence, offensive security, and product detection engineering.

I'm looking for a position in cybersecurity leadership where I can leverage my breadth of technical experience to lead and strengthen a cybersecurity program. I love grabbing time to chat with people about the industry and challenges I can help with, even if you don't have a position to offer.

When you first release a product/feature, the people that are going to really use it are the "early adopter" crowd. Once they embrace it, then you can spend the capital to roll it out to the later adopters. I'd be willing to bet that Android has far fewer early adopters than iOS.

You do realize that these things cost real money, right? Costing money for meaningless, valueless endeavors makes a business's overhead go up. When the overhead goes up, it has to be cut in other ways, usually by cutting employees. Unfortunately, that's difficult in France, which is why he is complaining. It's not sociopathy, it's business.

That's actually an incorrect way to think about it. Actually, Dropbox is paying for the free accounts, in an attempt to convert people to paying accounts.

Dropbox is simply offering a product which is priced around where supply and demand meet. I'm sure if Dropbox believed that they could make more money by increasing or lowering the price, they would. By paying for Dropbox, you're not paying for the free tier, you're paying the price that you think Dropbox is worth. It just so happens that Dropbox can make a good profit at that price point, even with the cost of the free accounts.

I believe that would have far-reaching implications, seeing that Sudoku has been proven to be an NP-Complete problem.

I used to drink a couple cups of coffee a day, but felt jittery and then had some pretty intense lows that made it hard to focus and enjoy work. I replaced that with a couple cups of green or oolong tea a day and it's done wonders for me in terms of jitters and lows. No long do I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin or like I just want to take a nap while trying to concentrate on what I'm doing.

I highly recommend trying some tea if this sounds familiar. Green and oolong tea have significantly less caffeine in them than coffee, and it's just as fun, if not more, picking out good teas as it is picking out good coffee.
