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-party Kexts are created equal. I could see an argument w

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 times where an API/design/etc change in a WW

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 what's returned to the rest of the system and use Mach por

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 allocation problems (OSMalloc/OSFree/buffer overrun)

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 backdoors. - Assumes the designing company doesn't do any deta

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 and more expensive components (radio, antenna, etc). You al

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. If you haven't made enough on your exits to angel invest,

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 angel investments in MN web/mobile/social/etc startups have yo

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 not interested in on your website FAQ and you just checke

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 startups the best chance." Interpreted another way: ever

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 stock though. The Midwest at this time and possibly forever c

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, suppliers, CMs, etc. Don't forget the EOCs and MCOs too.

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 engineers always forget this. We actually adjust our files for th

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 name. I'll only say you use his antenna's multiple times

I own a uPrint and run it all the time. In the same day we can print a new version, test it out on the bike, make some changes with a Dremel, measure the changes, redesign in Solidworks and repeat. Once you add time into the cost savings eq

I own a Stratasys 3D printer, the uPrint to be exact. They are amazing machines and have saved me ten of thousands of dollars in just a few months. We run our printer nearly non stop during the day without a problem. The highend Stratasy
