>Some people have made their political ideology the foundation that they build their ego on[...]

This remind me about the idea of "holy wars" in "The denial of death" of Ernest Becker.

“Since the main task of human life is to become heroic and transcend death, every culture must provide its members with an intricate symbolic system that is covertly religious. This means that ideological conflicts between cultures are essentially battles between immortality projects, holy wars.”

Also something along the lines of preferring to annihilate the other before they risk to be symbolically annihilated, like if we prefer the physical death before than the death of the symbolic. For both the other (when is an ideological opponent) and ourselves. We may be physically death, but symbolically immortal.


Bond -> Financial Security -> Financial Asset -> "non-physical asset whose value is derived from a contractual claim". More details at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_asset


Theoretically... If I lend you 5 bucks, I don't really see it as an asset. I believe to call it what it is becomes even more important if we talk about asset bubbles...


It’s debt owed to you. It can be sold off. It’s definitely an asset.


Maybe, but certainly there is a distinction between that and me keeping the 5 bucks?


Risk and return and depreciation.


True, but then it makes no sense to group them. Because one kind of asset can form bubbles much more likely and frequently.


You still group them. All assets have risk, return, and (possible) depreciation.


Interesting read (didn't read it like an essay about the complains of the privileged). It reminded me about a book: One-Dimensional Man (Marcuse), but adjusted into a more contemporary tech scene. Also, the idea of building a new company from scratch as the _real_ goal, seems to me like if the objective is the garden of lotus, not the lotus itself.

If you modify some free software, repackage and resell it without contributing the changes, then you are breaking the intentional viral effects of the license.

Most of the web stuff that people work on these days is rather outside of this problem, unless is an AGPL license.

It is tricky if you want to base your commercial product on a derivation of a GPL licensed software.


Not really, GPL only says whoever receives binaries, must also receive their source code. Receiver then can, but is not obliged to, publish it or contribute back. Still, yes it does cause problem with various licensing schemes.

But per-copy licensing without source code availability is an atrocity enabled only by misapplication of copyright/IP laws, where copyright holder can write practically anything into the EULA and have the law system enforce the terms "for free". I hope our civilization eventually comes up with better and more GPL-aligned software distribution model.


You don't have to contribute GPL changes back. Whomever you give a binary to you'll have to give the source to if they ask. It's pretty much that simple.


That's a distinction without a difference as anyone who receives the binary must also have access to the source and be free to redistribute that source, so effectively all derivative works of GPL'd code are GPL'd unless you refuse to distribute.


That is a recurrent point that Uncle Bob tends to do. In my opinion, sounds resonable. e.g.: http://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2014/06/20/MyLawn.html


Apparently AMD will have the upper hand in the next gen video game consoles PS4 -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4#Hardware xbox 720 -> http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/gaming/news/a471564/xbox-720-to-... or at least that's the rumor.


The margins are likely extremely low and performance doesn't seem to be anything amazing, it's likely current or slightly last generation. Don't forget that consoles will still have to sell for <$500 and make some profit.


Indirectly, it does makes AMD CPUs and GPUs more attractive to PC gamers:

Which is another shrinking market. AMD needs a mobile and/or GPU/CPU integration strategy. I think ARM is about to eat everyone's lunch for consumer products. Not sure what may happen with Intel, as there's still some life left for servers.


> Not sure what may happen with Intel, as there's still some life left for servers.

For now. But sooner or later ARM will become powerful enough to run servers. The chips are cheaper. The operating costs will also be lower as ARM draws lower power. Before you know it data centers will switch over to ARM, first as a trickle, then as a deluge.

ARM will do to x86 what Intel did to SPARC & Alpha & PA-RISC & MIPS. Intel will have to keep retreating to higher and higher end niches.


What do you think is the moat that will keep Intel from doing to Arm what they did to the RISC chips? Intel has better process and very capable designers. They are quickly moving down-market. Why assume that Arm moves into Intel's territory before Intel moves into Arm's?
