Bittorrent alone probably accounts for a huge chunk of internet traffic, and it's not http. SMTP and NNTP probably also account for large fractions because the MTAs still speak SMTP, not HTTPS and Usenet itself is something like 100 T

I think the poster is not seeing the forest for the trees. BSD has no real use case except as a way to subsidize giant megacorp development with volunteer work. Linux, for all its warts, is superior to BSD in nearly every way that matters t

Yeah I don't need priceonomics to tell me demand for housing (and thus home prices relative to income) is going to be much higher in coastal California than in small town Ohio.

I was camping near Whistler a few years ago and heard a bang. Looked up and saw falling debris and bodies. A wing landed not far from our campsite. Turns out a glider (low-wing monoplane) was descending and the tow plane (high wing monoplan
