- falcor84 1y agoOh, interesting - it's about failure rate following degradation after prolonged use. I didn't think of that - but my take is that if companies like Google are actually using those components until they 100% exhaust what the components are capable of, then we can argue about whether this use of resources is better than an alternative use of them, but it's by definition not a waste of resources.
