They don't have choice. They need new billion dollar businesses and as soon one new thing with potential they have to jump on it. And self driving cars is one that to "investors" promises a huge potential. That's why Ama

Not exactly, the reality will sound even more annoying to you: banks don't need even need to get a central bank loan for most dollars they loan to customers. Only a fraction needs to be covered by central bank money.

While there are some analytics workloads that will benefit tremendously, the main use case will be improving server utilization. Currently RAM is not a compressible resource like CPU. However many applications don't have a fixed or if

I think orthogonal (at least from its usage in math-related contexts) means the two don't have anything to do with each other.

I keep hearing Google News, but I can't see how and why people would use it frequently. Is anybody here using it? What for?

Tap filters like Brita decrease quality of tap water, at least here in Germany. They are quickly contaminated with bacteria and microbes.

https://smartasset.com/taxes/income-taxes tells me it is 34% tax in SF, CA for single at 160k USD. Why do you think it is 9.3%?

Safety is usually not a design goal for low level APIs. You rather want it to be minimal, functions to be orthogonal, clean abstractions and only promise necessary semantics. And this might be already the reason. Win32 is geared towards the

I was thinking more in terms of application data, thank you for giving me this perspective. But still wondering: does the amount of this data really warrant compression? I mean the smallest sensible size of an SSD is around 100GB and it has

It probably sounds odd, but I think Google is not good at doing large complex projects that require considerable man power and time. And that's what you need to refine products to the next level (or go into billion dollar markets). It&
