It is not that easy. They need a reliable system to do that. For what can go wrong, see all the hate Youtube's ContentID gets. But, identifying whole books should be simple enough.

It is debatable of course. But the current consensus is that property is not fundamental to the existence of a human. The term property doesn't appear once on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Declaration_of_

The right to have your legally earned income is one given to you by society. It's not something that arose out of natural order, or given by God if you are a believer. It is not absurd at all that society thinks you shouldn't have

The cost of GPUs doesn't make sense for the compute they offer. According the benchmark, the fastest 8 GPU node takes about 0.5 seconds. The cost of that node on AWS is about 24$/hour. The 21 node spark cluster takes 6 seconds. Bu

Given the ineffectiveness of sanctions, why is doing nothing not an option? Doing something just for the sake of doing it is bad foreign policy and weakens soft power. Even as it benefits people who propose the action so as to appear to be

I think there is place for all kinds of software and infrastructure, based on your business model and scale. You can start with serverless, move to normal cloud instances and finally to bare metal or the other way around! For example, the c

Don't know specifically about HANA. But, any database with high throughput would benefit from high bandwidth PCIe non-volatile storage. Databases with significant random accesses in their workload would see a large improvement in perfo

I think you are mistaking median for mean. Mean gets pulled up, median doesn't. It's literally what the guy at 50% mark has.

The cost is negligible for 1 server. For 100s to 1000s of servers. The cost starts mattering. I'm not saying new applications shouldn't be built on lisp. Most applications don't have huge scaling requirements. But, if you exp
