    First and second stages are either fall to earth right after launch or fall from orbit within months. The bigger issue are the booster blocks as they effectively stay on the same orbit as their payloads

    I imagine, we are heading with automated ordering, but the food will still be cooked and served by a protein based appliance.

    In some Shanghai localities, it is already hard to find cafes that have waiter staff of any kind. All ordering is done over Weixin. You scan the barcode on the table, and order everything like you do in an online shop. Those systems use native Weixin payment system, so there is not frustration with having to enter in all your CC info there all the time. The food will either be served, or you will get a message when you can come to pick it up.

    One problem was that Germans got super raped by Russians who were many times superior. You should be giving thanks to A. Hitler that it was his ass that took a hit, otherwise you would've been speaking Russian, and praying to Marx and Engels by now.

  19. >FSF doesn't need copyright assignment to
    >distribute LLVM under the terms of GPL

    The whole thread was about the opposite case. LLVM wanted a deeper linking to GCC without having to relicense as GPL. Why you all guys want to derail this thread so much? Working for Apple, or their satellites?

    Cheap oil means Chicoms annexing Russland, sonething I'm looking forward to

  21. Too young, too simple, sometimes naive.

    The thing he was willing to GPL was not the LLVM, but a mere compatibility layer. A thing to keep exploiting GCC, while they make their own backend suck less. The whole text of the proposal sounds like a deal.

    The legalese of that limited assignment basically meant that Apple can continue using GCC (because they discovered what a rotten tomato LLVM actually was), while being secure from all aspects of linking to GPL code. Same trick Nvidia did for 15 years with kernel module driver wrapper.

    They promised a complete asaignment, but people usually do not hold their promises, especially in business setting.

    I'm right, and you are not right.

  22. Yes, under a limited copyright assignment, _without_ license change

  23. No, they did not.

    >copyright will be assigned to the FSF under the standard Apple copyright assignment

    No talk of GPL here, they talked on a limited copyright, not a geniune change of license

  24. >the main author of LLVM as well as Apple's Swift programming language

    The only point of Apple hiring him was to prevent LLVM going GPL.

    Without LLVM, Apple would've been locked to GPLed realm of GNU C++ ecosystem, which meant no DRM and other goodies
