>If one character in a web page index is flipped in google's indexation service, who cares.
>>When Google used servers without ECC back in 1999, they found a number of symptoms that were ultimately due to memory corruption, including a search index that returned effectively random results to queries.
- cm2187 6y agoYeah. Who cares. Out of the billions of search queries, a handful will return irrelevant results.
- nix23 6y agoGoogle obviously cared, since google has everything on one platform who cares if your ad-sense shows wrong numbers? Your Gmail, Fotos, Drive queries...who cares right? Oh and not to mention debugging, can you trust your program or your hardware, who makes the wrong query, how to find out which node needs to be restarted?
- cm2187 6y agoIf it's a very rare event you might not care. Look at how google applies security rules. They don't mind closing a few accounts unfairly if it means they can automate the whole process. I can't imagine they would care about flipping a few pixels in a handful of the hundred of millions of photos they host.
- nix23 6y agoYeah i stop here, you obviously have no clue since you compare apples to...nothing at all.
