I should address the whole conspiracy theory aspect of this. I don't seriously think there's some cackling cabal of coastal elites having secret meetings about how to keep flyover country poor. I think it's various companies

I know someone who needed to run a large-ish distributed workload. The project had a pretty respectable budget (I think more than $10k, less than $1M). They were going to rent DigitalOcean servers, because benchmarks showed they were the c

Figure you need at least 12 bytes per entry to store the ID and hash. Then you can only handle 1/12 of your memory size in bytes (so 1 billion entries if you have 12 billion bytes of RAM). Much more memory efficient to use a Bloom fil
