<p>The issue is did anyone trade based on the information. Then it would be considered insider trading.<p>For example, lets say that you work at Apple. Walking down the hallway one day you see Tim Cook trip and fall on the way to the lunch area. The fall is really bad and he is unconscious and bleeding heavily. If you immediately sell your Apple stocks based on that, that would be insider trading.</p>

<p>I thought of that, but we have a really bad AD/Mac setup where changing your password takes 30-60 minutes to propagate. During the time you try both your old and new passwords until they work.<p>If you try to change it again during the 30-60 minutes propagation time, then you need to try even more passwords passwords. Too complex to deal with.</p>

<p>The company I work for requires a password change every 60 days and a history of 9 passwords. Every other password I have in my 1Password so its ultra strong and secure (I use a 5 word passphrase). For my login password I just change the last digit in a loop between 0 and 9.</p>

<p>I really liked Strip's API version scheme and how well done it is.<p>Recently I'm writing code that interacts with API of a Enterprise Product (fairly new, less then 3 years old) and its driving me crazy. They version every single API endpoints separately. So endpoint A to create a user is at version 7 but endpoint B to assign a group to a user is at version 4.<p>WTF?</p>

<p>I feel really woke reading that, "Solutions Privilege" and "white norms of data and evaluation". I identify as cisgender non-white male if the data is relevant.<p><i>Before the Solutions Privilege people write me with “Well, what’s YOUR way to measure nonprofit effectiveness, huh?!” I already wrote about this in “How the concept of effectiveness has screwed nonprofits and the people we serve.” It boils down to challenging established white norms of data and evaluation</i><p>Can we talk about this without being so judgemental?</p>

<p>I live in China for over 10 years and I don't see the purpose of this.<p>Remember that this doesn't apply to roaming users or people buying Travel SIM for China, but those people are not a big worry.<p>To get a SIM card right now in China you need to have valid identification. The only ones that are acceptable are: 1) China Resident Identity Card; or 2) non-Chinese passport. Both of these already have photos.</p>
