What can startups learn from Koch Industries?

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I recently finished the excellent book Kochland. This isn't my first interest in Koch—I read The Science of Success by Charles Koch himself a couple of years ago. Charles Koch inherited a tiny company in 1967 and turned it into one of the world's largest ones.

Optimizing over multinomial distributions

Sometimes you have to maximize some function $$ f(w_1, w_2, ldots, w_n) $$ where $$ w_1 + w_2 + ldots + w_n = 1 $$ and $$ 0 le w_i le 1 $$ . Usually, $$ f $$ is concave and differentiable, so there's one unique global maximum and you can solve it by applying gradient ascent.

Creating configuration backups of HP procurve switches

from Louwrentius [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I've created a tool called procurve-watch. It creates a backup of the running switch configuration through secure shell (using scp). It also diffs backed up configurations against older versions, in order to keep track of changes. If you run the script from cron every hour or...

My cat water fountain comes with a spicy USB power adapter

from ./techtipsy [alt+shift+b] in technology

a year ago
It turns out that you can’t trust any USB type A power adapter to be within spec. I have a Catit Flower Fountain for my two adorable cats. The idea of a water fountain for cats may sound odd, but having one really helps with cats staying hydrated and that alone avoids all sorts...

Fire In The Hole, We’re Breaching The Vault - Commvault Remote Code Execution (CVE-2025-34028)

As we pack our bags and prepare for the adult-er version of BlackHat (that apparently doesn’t require us to print out stolen mailspoolz to hand to people at their talks), we want to tell you about a recent adventure - a heist, if you will. No heist story

Programming the Convergent WorkSlate's spreadsheet microcassette future

In this particular future, we will all use handheld spreadsheets stored on microcassettes, talking to each other via speakerphone, and probably listening to Devo and New Order a lot. (Though that part isn't too different from my actual present.) a computer whose manufacturer...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
