If you get an email or text message (SMS) asking for your Netflix account email, phone, password, or payment method it probably didn't come from Netflix. Below are tips for identifying and handling suspicious emails and texts to keep your account safe.

As my friend Calvin Chen suggested, historically the Taiwanese (in this case, specifically referring to being located in Taiwan) triads have been largely composed of waishengren, those who arrived in Taiwan as political migrants from Mainland China as a result of the Chinese civil war. For them, a Chinese identity would have been accurate, and could have endured through generations as their ideology remained steadfastly committed to being the real representatives of China. The founders of the Bamboo Union, for example, were said to have been the young sons of senior Chinese Nationalist (Kuomintang, or KMT) officials. They might have observed from their fathers the expediency and efficiency of illicit underground operations; indeed, Chinese Nationalist Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek often leveraged the Shanghai-based Green Gang in profit-sharing schemes and as executioners in a shared anti-Communist campaign; and the Chinese Nationalist Party itself had origins as a secret society radicalized by other revolutionary uprisals.

Founded in 2006, TaiwaneseAmerican.org is a web portal site highlighting many of the interesting people, events and organizations that make up Taiwanese America. It is both a volunteer-driven website and a non-profit organization that intends to connect and promote those who identify with the Taiwanese identity, heritage, or culture. By establishing our niche within the broader Asian Pacific American and mainstream communities, we hope to collectively contribute to the wonderful and diverse mosaic that America represents.

What is intentional parenting? It is acting with purpose. Not just one purpose, but many. Premeditate long term goals and hold true to them, but be flexible with the short term. Take time to be introspective about your role in both encouraging and inhibiting growth so that you can know when to adjust expectations and learn from mistakes.

A life dominated by technology and virtual experience allows children to form a relationship with comfort and enjoyment that fails to consider the flip side. This lack of experience, both online and in the real world, makes them vulnerable. They are not prepared for disappointment or discomfort. This may create a crippling duality when the search for pleasure simultaneously becomes an attempt to avoid pain, which we all know is impossible in life.

Now, we should probably give a nod to the elephant in the room, which requires us to accept that cell phones and the internet are not passing fads. They are inevitable. Delaying the inevitable only benefits your child if you are going to use that time to prepare them. However, you must also give thought to expectations you will set when your child finally does enter into this world as an independent user. I believe a key concept on which we can focus at the earliest ages is honesty.

I recognize this may not be such an easy concept to accept. In fact, it takes the entire movie and all sorts of concrete experiences (literally, people punch and kick through concrete more than a few times) before Neo begins to believe. Like Neo, new parents are also going get knocked around a bit along the way.

Cockcroft: I'm Adrian Cockcroft. I'm going to talk to you about microservices retrospective: what we learned and what we didn't learn from Netflix. I was at Netflix from 2007 to the end of 2013. We're going to look a bit at that, and some of the early slide decks that I ran through at the time. It's a retrospective. I don't really know that much about retrospectives, but a good friend of mine does. I read some of Aino's book, and figured that there's a whole lot of these agile rituals being mentioned in this book, along with retrospectives. It turns out, Netflix was extremely agile, but was not extreme, and was not agile. We did extreme and agile with a lowercase e and a lowercase a, we did not have the rituals of a full extreme, or full agile. I don't remember anyone being a scrum master of all of those kinds of things. We're going to talk a fair amount about the Netflix culture. The Netflix culture is nicely documented in this book, "Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility," by Patty McCord, who ran the HR processes and talent. Basically, she was the CTO for Netflix, which was the Chief Talent Officer. Amazing woman, you can see some of her talks. I figured that I should adopt some of the terminology anyway. I've got some story points. I'm going to talk about some Netflix culture. Pick up some of the slide decks from those days. Go over some of the things that were mentioned, and then comment on them. What we did. What we didn't do. What seemed to work. What got left out along the way. I'll talk a bit about why don't microservices work for some people. Then a little bit at the end, just talking about systems thinking and innovation.

Netflix culture, these seven points. The first point is that the culture really matters. They place a high value on the fact that values are what they value. Then, high performance. This is a high-performance culture. It's not trying to build a family, they're trying to build an Olympic winning team, or a league winning team. Pick your favorite sport, how do you build the best team ever for that sport? You go find the best players, and you stack everything in their direction. Those players are the best in the world, so you get out of their way. You do what they tell you to do. There's a bit of coaching, but fundamentally, they have the freedom, but they're also responsible for being the best in the world. What that means is, as a manager, you're giving them context, not control, setting everything up to be successful. Then the teams are highly aligned. We have a single goal to win whatever we're trying to win. Launch in a market or take over something. The teams are loosely coupled, they were individually working on these things, and they have clear APIs where they touch.

If you're building the best team in the world, with the best people in the world, you have to pay top of market. This is something Netflix does. It's always been one of the smaller companies in the Bay Area, and it is very savvy, so it's pretty much the highest paying engineering company in the Bay Area. Then, promotions and development. Netflix management don't have to worry too much about promotions. It's up to you to develop yourself. Part of the adult freedom responsibility thing is figure out how to develop yourself. There was no official mentoring program when we were there. You're supposed to be at the top of your game already. You already know how to maintain that. You get to run your own exercise regime effectively. By having very wide salary bands and very wide career talent levels, they call it grade levels effectively, you have to have very many promotions. You can move up financially, and you're just a senior engineer. When I was there, there were senior engineers, managers, directors, and VPs. Those were the only titles you could have. We didn't have any junior engineers, and there wasn't any grade scales in between. The managers didn't have to worry about it. There's a whole lot of things that are just unusual here. This is part of the system that lets Netflix do things really quickly and effectively.

Netflix is a systems thinking organization. Lots of interesting feedback loops, lots of subtleties in the way they put things together. Optimize for agility. Minimize processes. This ability to evolve extremely rapidly. Unafraid and happy to be the first to do something, pioneers. Netflix was the first company ever to use NGINX. The guy who built NGINX had to found a company so that we could pay him for support. One of the first customers for JFrog's Artifactory. One of the first customers for AppDynamics. One of the first big enterprise customers for AWS and probably some other companies that I've forgotten along the way. By being a pioneer customer, for an interesting startup, you get to really leverage them, they will do all kinds of things for you. You get a great discount, because they love the feedback. It works out. There's a system here, but you have to be good at doing it.

Then, you have to be comfortable with ambiguity, that's a very complex system. There's a lot going on. Things aren't done one way. There's a lot of creativity, but you have to have self-discipline and combine the two together. Then, there's this interesting point that flexibility is more important than efficiency. If you crunch something down and make it super-efficient, it becomes inflexible. You don't want to waste things. You don't want to squeeze them to be super-efficient, either, because you're taking away the flexibility that lets you innovate and try things. If everyone is so crazy busy all the time, because you're running a super-efficient system and everyone's super busy, they don't have time to learn new things. They don't have time to do their best work basically. Then the final principle, steer pain to where it can be helpful. One of the things that we did, certainly, while I was there, was we put engineers on-call, developers on-call. If you were writing code, and you ship the code that day, you were on-call to fix it if it broke that night. That caused developers to be much more careful about the code they deployed. They learned a lot of good practices.
