> And you're missing on that whole important social aspect as well

My RSS reader links directly to HN comments hence how I arrived here. Other than HN most social discussions are not useful to me.

> I do wonder what percentage of Apple stock is owned by pension funds and the like, i.e. The Regular Person, once you unwind the levels of indirection (mutual funds, etc). It is surely a double digit percentage, but high, low? No idea.

Pretty high. The S&P 500 has ~7% apple stock which means many peoples retirement accounts have several percentage points of apple stock.

I would like to add that IPFS pretty much doesn't run on spinning rust or slow CPUs. A PI or other low end box can easily run torrents with an external harddrive. IPFS can't download large files at a reasonable speed on slow hardware.

In practice libgen uses torrents. The available seed nodes for IPFS are... few. This is largely due to the software/protocol being pretty bad compared to battle tested torrents.

Running IPFS at scale is horrible. Try to download a few dozen TBs of small files. Its garbage collection is rubbish (ended up nuking the ZFS dataset every couple of days instead), it is very CPU and IOPS hungry, and it has bad network throttling support.

I would claim it has failed the test of time as it has very little adoption.

What did you find for a gallery? I never found an open one I liked other than simple gallery.

I am happy about this fork. Simple Mobile Tools were some of the better non spying free android apps.

Good point. I am sure the US won't just think of another reason to go to war...

It is not a feature it was forced down by the EPA :/ I have such an SUV and a $20 part wired into the fuse box fixes it.

You can already deduct many of these and should be. Talk to an accountant but deduction is usually ratio of usage for work vs personal. Also, keep your personal and work expenses very separate in case there is ever an audit.
