The article says there are 3 advantages of IPFS -- speed, data verification, and data resilience. HTTPS/curl can provide the latter two. Does someone know if they published speed numbers of IPFS vs HTTPS/curl in the satellite envi

Allowing Apollo to operate would cost $20M in opportunity cost for Reddit. But not allowing Apollo to operate has an opportunity cost in website downtime. I am amused!
