Actually, if Apple were to stop selling MacBooks next year it could be the downfall.
How do you think that the iPhone & iPad ecosystem is sustained? Through developers (most of whom are) using MacBooks.
They have to port XCode to Windows, which means they don't get to have the lock-in they have now. If there's any flop for the iPhone for 2-3 years, the cost to jump ship isn't that high anymore.
I'm wondering if destroying the signing keys will have legal consequences. Are signing keys considered company IP when their identity is "fused" with the main developer?
Reading online posts it seems that the community is trusting the developer, not the company behind him.
This is like saying North America and Europe don't have freedom because you're not free to kill/abuse/take advantage of the others however you like. Freedom doesn't work like that.
The GPL restrictions are for keeping the freedom equal for all parties involved.
By using the DB you have to deal with the company.
By giving a grant to a company that is (apparently) more ethical will signal what kind of behavior you encourage, hence choosing to work with MariaDB over OracleDB.
M1: Each CPU has four memory channels, each node has 16 DIMMs (8/CPU, 2 DIMMs/channel) which means that you can use 1 DIMM per channel -> maximum memory bandwith and speed with RDIMMs. Using 64GB or 128GB LRDIMMs with E5v4 CPUs won't affect your bandwith or speed as long as you populate all the channels.[0]

How can my representative be really productive in analyzing such a deal? Why all the barriers to understand the document?
I didn't find out the time it's supposedly be public for debate, but if you're doing a deal for the people, you want people to negotiate, not just accept the deal as it is, which, as history taught us, it will be a really tight timeframe for debate and it's approved few days before a major holiday when people are distracted.
Our representatives must have our [all citizens] best interest at heart. I don't see how this is in our best interest.
And I didn't event talked about the deal itself, only the procedure which seems flawed.
What really bothers me, as citizen of an european country, why is it possible to have secret deals? If I don't know about such deals how can I call my representative to oppose them? Or encourage them to take the deal if it's a good one.
AFAIK, TTIP was leaked and that's the only way european citizens knew about it.
Why is it legal? Because all I see is corporations trying to make a sweet deal with governments, and the loosing side is always the people.
That's the only incentive I see to make deals secret.
Same, but I'm using Open vSwitch[0] to tag internet traffic which goes to the router VM. I was using IOMMU but on non-Intel NICs the interupts were killing the throughput in OpenBSD.
