Why Linux pioneer Linus Torvalds prefers x86 chips over ARM processors | PCWorld - 0 views

  •  
    "Agam Shah IDG News Service Oct 7, 2016 1:03 PM Linux pioneer Linus Torvalds is a stand-up guy-he says what he feels. There's no sugarcoating, and he'll admit to faults, like recent issues with the Linux 4.8 kernel. He was full of surprises at last week's Linaro Connect conference, when he was asked about his favorite chip architecture. He didn't blink before saying it was x86, not ARM. "

    [Michel Bawens shares thru Nathan Lewis an article of Øyvind Holmstad] Tags: echo-technic vs.retro-echo "March 2, 2014 The notion of an "eco-technic civilization" is popular these days. It is a good alternative to the "retro-eco" idea which is everywhere today -- that to be in harmony with the earth, one should live in some sort of 19th century pioneer subsistence-farmer fashion."

Findings - Jaron Lanier Is Rethinking the Open Nature of the Internet - NYTimes.com - 11 views

  •  
    "When does the wisdom of crowds give way to the meanness of mobs? In the 1990s, Jaron Lanier was one of the digital pioneers hailing the wonderful possibilities that would be realized once the Internet allowed musicians, artists, scientists and engineers around the world to instantly share their work. Now, like a lot of us, he is having second thoughts. Mr. Lanier, a musician and avant-garde computer scientist - he popularized the term "virtual reality" - wonders if the Web's structure and ideology are fostering nasty group dynamics and mediocre collaborations. His new book, "You Are Not a Gadget," is a manifesto against "hive thinking" and "digital Maoism," by which he means the glorification of open-source software, free information and collective work at the expense of individual creativity."

    This paragraph - "To save those endangered species, Mr. Lanier proposes rethinking the Web's ideology, revising its software structure and introducing innovations like a universal system of micropayments. (To debate reforms, go to Tierney Lab at nytimes.com/tierneylab." from this article is exactly how I imagine moving our project forward. But, who knows how to do it?
