> 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.
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.
My company is largely remote at this point and is moving away from CA for cost/tax reasons. For some portion of companies this is just one more reason to move headquarters.
That being said, I live in a pretty population dense area and my largest cost by far is dedicated home office space. It would be nice for my company to pay for that but it would have also been nice for them to pay for gas for my commute when I had one.
I think CA is likely overplaying their hand. They are not the place of choice for many remote employees (because of taxes) and are trying hard to not be the place of choice for remote companies.
Yea, favorite place I found OpenWRT was in DJI phantom 2 Wi-Fi Extender module. Managed to SSH into it. Hardware was not particularly interesting just cool to see OpenWRT in a widely purchased product.
The bots would just slow down then. Their time is ~free.
reCAPTCHA is one of the better captcha because they do a decent amount of browser fingerprinting and their captcha are interactive.
Still there are services for solving them. Fun thing is you only need to pay those services for first ~50K captcha and then you can train your own solver using the data you collected.
Ultimately, captchas only serve to increase the cost of running bots. If what ever your trying to protect is worth more you will fail.
Just read their blog. Latest three:
- EU's AI Act
- Fakespot school supplies?
- Making trustworthy chatbots to support women plagued by violence and abuse
The first one might make sense? Second one WTF? And third is disgusting (I know people effected and the LAST thing they want is some chatbot).
None of these are related strongly to Firefox. I quit donating to them years ago after it was obvious they have their priorities messed up.
