With all the linux RCE drama, it's a good time to bring up a neat scoring system that you (may) not have heard of.

EPSS is the cool younger brother of CVSS.

Patching just 3.5% of all known vulnerabilities covers 67.8% of what is exploited in the wild.

Assuming you don't have infinite resources, it theoretically lets you focus on the CVEs that are more actionable.

Le ministère des Armées n’a pas été impacté par cette panne, précisément parce que nous nous préoccupons de notre souveraineté.

L’indépendance nationale n'est pas qu'une question de l'origine d'une technologie, mais de ce que l'on en fait : les réseaux de travail quotidien du ministère ne sont pas connectés à Internet.

Toute mise à jour est déployée en temps différé, après analyse par nos experts de la pertinence de son déploiement.

Croire, ou faire croire, que nous prenons à la légère ces questions ne rend pas honneur aux femmes et hommes qui assurent au quotidien la sécurité des systèmes informatiques de nos armées et du ministère.

RELEASE DAY

After almost 10 years of hard work, tireless research, and a dive deep into the kernels of computer science, I finally realized a dream: running a high-level language on GPUs. And I'm giving it to the world!

Bend compiles modern programming features, including:

- Lambdas with full closure support

- Unrestricted recursion and loops

- Fast object allocations of all kinds

- Folds, ADTs, continuations and much more

To HVM2, a new runtime capable of spreading that workload across 1000's of cores, in a thread-safe, low-overhead fashion. As a result, we finally have a true high-level language that runs natively on GPUs!

Here's a quick demo:

[CZ 🔶 BNB @cz_binance]

Today, I stepped down as CEO of Binance. Admittedly, it was not easy to let go emotionally. But I know it is the right thing to do. I made mistakes, and I must take responsibility. This is best for our community, for Binance, and for myself.

Binance is no longer a baby. It is time for me to let it walk and run. I know Binance will continue to grow and excel with the deep bench it has.

I’m pleased to announce that @_RichardTeng, our now former Global Head of Regional Markets, has been named the new CEO of Binance today.

Richard is a highly qualified leader and, with over three decades of financial services and regulatory experience, he will navigate the company through its next period of growth. He will ensure Binance delivers on our next phase of security, transparency, compliance, and growth.

Prior to joining Binance, Richard was CEO of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM); Chief Regulatory Officer of the Singapore Exchange (SGX); and Director of Corporate Finance in the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

With Richard and the entire team, I’m confident that the best days for @Binance and the crypto industry lay ahead.

As a shareholder and former CEO with historical knowledge of our company, I will remain available to the team to consult as needed, consistent with the framework set out in our U.S. agency resolutions.

What’s next for me?

I will take a break first. I have not had a single day of real (phone off) break for the last 6 and half years.

After that, my current thinking is I will probably do some passive investing, being a minority token/shareholder in startups in areas of blockchain/Web3/DeFi, AI and biotech. I am happy that I will finally have more time to spend looking at DeFi.

I can’t see myself being a CEO driving a startup again. I am content being an one-shot (lucky) entrepreneur. Should there be listeners, I may be open to being a coach/mentor to a small number of upcoming entrepreneurs, privately. If for nothing else, I can at least tell them what not to do.

On that note, I am proud to point out that in our resolutions with the U.S. agencies they:

- do not allege that Binance misappropriated any user funds, and
- do not allege that Binance engaged in any market manipulation.

Funds are SAFU!

With that, I look forward to seeing the new leadership take the reins. Please join me in congratulating Richard on his well-deserved promotion.

Onwards!

Agile started out as a few simple principles to avoid heavyweight process of the previous generation of engineering.
So people adopted it as the basis for heavyweight process of the next generation.

A little secret for building tight teams.

I often get asked about what’s the best way to build tight/strong teams. So, here is a little counter-intuitive “secret” on how to do that.

It’s not fancy team building dinners, outings, etc.
It’s not the coaching exercises, mentors or magical shrinks.
It’s not the rah rah speeches of inspirational leaders.

All of the above helps but fades over time, but the secret is just … some external pressure.

Imagine if there are aliens “visiting” Earth now, all the issues between the US and China would disappear in a heartbeat. Make sense?

In the movie Blackhawk Down, when an old soldier was asked why he risked his life in battles all the time, his answer was (roughly): it’s not the glory or heroism, those things go out of the window as soon as that first bullet flies by your head; it’s just about … the men next to you.

While I am not suggesting the pressure needs to be life-threatening, fighting in the trenches together is the best way to build tight teams. It builds reliance, alliance, resilience and most importantly trust between the team members.

I believe this is the one of the big reasons @Binance has such a tight team. We have always had external pressure, FUD, etc. As a result, we are constantly in the trenches together. It also unites our community behind us, making them/you support us even more. This in turn makes us more determined to drive towards our mission, to increase the freedom of money for people all around the world.

And, it’s worth noting that while pressure creates tight teams internally, I’m equally focused on the collaboration and cooperation that creates trust externally.
