Not so much. On-board STSAFE secure element with ST-issued ECC P-384 certificate provisioned at point of chip manufacture. Sessions are TLS-encrypted to the Notehub: TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 Kind of wonderfully, all traffic

You can easily develop this, and you won't pay anything except for the Notecard. It'll work until you reach 500MB or 10 years, whichever is sooner. (We offer the ability to upgrade beyond 500MB.)

See above. It's not required to use the Notecard, but it's extremely easy to use and convenient. The combination of the Notecard and the Notehub are essentially a simple JSON-centric "data pump", with a good deal of ca

Yes, if you use our Notehub there is a free tier, and higher tiers are still very reasonable. (It does cost money to run infrastructure.) That said, although we don't talk much about it, the HN crowd may be interested in knowing that

A proper and well-deserved honor. For some perspective, this was an app developed by 5 core devs that grew to ~125M+ users who by necessity were split across implementations concurrently released for Windows 3/95, NT, OS/2, Mac, M

Perhaps. Hard to say. The dev team was large by necessity, but the GTM was far too large because we hadn't come to terms with giving up on enterprise and individual sales. Had we focused exclusively on public sector and hunkered down w

Undeniably the product failed commercially. By the time we decided to sell the company, the product was doing ~20M+ of revenue but on a low growth rate, after having gone through ~140M of capital with (not unreasonable) investor expectation

You may enjoy these few photos I snapped an the 1981 National Computer Conference (NCC), where to me the most notable announcements were Ethernet (DEC/Intel/Xerox) and the Xerox Star. I’d never seen such a UX, or a mouse. http:&

The product we built (1984) was for team collaboration & business apps, and we placed a strong bet on crypto for end to end encryption rather than just the illusion of security via access control. It hadn’t been done before. Crypto base

Charlie, Al, and I were just trying to maintain a sense of humor in fairly tough times, knowing that the first who would see the key would be the folks we were working with at the ministry.

Thank you. We were very fortunate to have had the opportunity in 1984 to incorporate many concepts that seem to have withstood the test of time - a NOSQL db, masterless dB replication, end-to-end encryption, decentralized federated PKI, pur

For those interested in arbitrarily transforming JSON objects (for example, in a communications pipeline) I’d recommend JSONata. It’s quite useful and we’re well along in a Golang port with $function extensibility. http://jsonata

Big-endian is the new 1’s complement. Like 6-bit bytes and octal, BCD, segments, and other such memories, it’s simply a relief that we’ve moved on.

Of course. I've uploaded a UTILITIES folder that has all the build tools. In BIN, cc.exe is the compiler, but it forks the P*.exe's for each pass.

I've uploaded three versions of the missing source code from floppies, along with windows.h for each. http://ozz.ie/h31100

I haven't spoken with him recently, but I believe that Dave's still the first one in the office every morning, writing stunningly tight code and driving innovation most recently in the Xbone hypervisor. The engineer's enginee

Ray Ozzie here. Regarding "minitruth" - you've got to maintain a bit of a sense of humor when things get stressful. It was such a long time ago, but one thing that clearly differentiates our efforts in those days vs. what&#x
