‘Give Away Your Legos’ and Other Commandments for Scaling Startups
Molly Graham helped forge a work culture at Facebook that's withstood huge amounts of growth. Today, she's something of a rapid scaling expert. Here's the key to doing it right, she says.
non-sticky coating is great

LiquiGlide: Nonstick coatings leave zero waste behind
The days of wasting condiments — and other products — that stick stubbornly to the sides of their bottles may be gone, thanks to MIT spinout LiquiGlide, which has licensed its nonstick coating to a major consumer-goods company. (Learn more about LiquiGlide:…

Looks like Intel just provided unikernels (and AMD) with 15% performance advantage, for free
(TLDR: likely, speculative execution skips permission checks, and allows to read arbitrary memory from usermode)

There’s quite a lot of the buzz in the media already, I’ll try to explain the technical details in simple terms instead.
