And use a remote server with at least 1RTT of delay to do basic arithmetic. Big Data indeed.

And use a remote server with at least 1RTT of delay to do basic arithmetic. Big Data indeed.
- olegkikin 9y agoIt's not so basic though. Google knows the current value of most currencies, for instance. It's actually more efficient for the central servers to pull that data and the clients to query once in a while, rather than every single client (local calculator) to constantly keep all that data up to date. And that's just the currencies.
- JetSpiegel 9y agoHow many times in you lifetime does the inches-meters conversion rate will change? Currencies I can understand hitting a remote server, but general unit conversion and basic arithmetic?
