I think kernel modules will go away at some point. Having no third party Kexts would increase the security of the OS for in use systems. That's a nice way of saying not all third-p…

It's not sneaky just because you're not looking. I have found the CoreOS group to be guarded in their responses to future directions but never sneaky. There have been multiple time…

It depends. Sophisticated malware, say a rootkit, can hide calls and even presence on the system. It can do things like modify the syscall table, register a MAC policy to alter wha…

Just a few other notes to help make kernel development with VMware Fusion easier: 1. Add -zc and -zp to your boot args. It's not documented but it greatly helps catch zone allocati…

OP if you're looking to raise $ from OVP, I'd suggest you keep looking.

Okay but what did you think of the post?

A big congrats to the Zencoder team. Well, well done.

I'm skeptical. There are too many unsupported claims in this article. Off the top of my head: - Assumes the Chinese put the backdoor in. There are plenty of others interested in ba…

I worked for Steve Barnet while at SSEC ( http://www.ssec.wisc.edu ). Working for him is about as awesome as working at the South Pole.

I would add that Bluetooth Low Energy isn't totally free. Somewhere in your cost you have FCC/IC/CE testing, Bluetooth licensing/testing/certification, possible software stack cost…

Any chance of getting an SRTM terrain layer?

I'm not worked up. I'm seeking clarity for those applying to Project Skyway. They're new, naive and easily taken advantage of. I'm asking the questions I would hope they would ask.…

Why are you arguing points I didn't contest? I have started, built and successfully exited from a couple of different companies, so I know it can be done. Given this, how many ange…

Just checked out your web site Matt. Great product. Great accomplishment. Would love to have you in our network. My company is specifically listed as an example of a company you're…

Hey Matt, nice to see you chiming in. Appreciate the thoughts. Ah more MN Nice. You say "You are left funding founders not dedicated enough to their startups to move and give their…

Proven returns isn't being cocky. If your plan to compete directly with the coasts startup for startup, idea for idea I wish you the best of luck. I'm going to have to short your s…

There should be an asterisk at the of the title Steve Blank's SXSW talk saying: While new rules are in place for the new bubble they only apply to startups operating in the bubble.…

Octopart if you want to start making money, build in some BOM management features. It's not a sexy area but BOM management is a pretty good problem to solve with designers, supplie…

Really nice. Great way for me to share designs with remote designers and stakeholders with having them install a viewer. Could be the start of a Scribd for the physical world.

I wouldn't say it's useless but they aren't primetime. You just can't get the tolerances you need out of them yet. The real world is all about tolerances and non mechanical enginee…

This is a good point. I bet the level of radiation is an OSHA violation. Nothing like one government agency fighting another.

Colin worked for us on Pedal Brain. The things he talks about were all used in our antenna work. It's based on the work of a rather serious antenna designer who I can't mention by …
