The number are about right according to which source? I will point out the article itself mentions studies that found the error rate a thousand times less than Google's.

The Cray Y system was ECC SRAM with error rate of 6E-13 upset/bit-hour, but probably not relevant to discussion about today's typical memory.

I will only note that Clinton's intern found a use for rolled tobacco products other than smoking them.

Correctness not an issue; you merely have difficulty with common usage, common sense and ability to relate to normal humans, is all.

You are wrong. Memory is not always expressed in GiB, and there are certainly architectures with base 10 memory (you only show you are young making a silly assertion such as that)

a few decades ago I had a couple of professors that had expanded the universe between their ears with lithium salts

and I've watched SELinux heads waste days trying to figure out why it's killing standard apps that used to work for years

societies with *high industrialization* have higher blood pressure, salt doesn't matter.

cigarettes aren't necessarily bad, just don't smoke them.

when I shake off I eject sugars and proteins too. you're not doing it correctly

other security systems exist, many believe that SELinux is causes more problems than it solves

Your linked article doesn't really prove that one should use ECC, it speaks of studies showing wide range of errors, from "roughly one bit error, per hour, per gigabyte of memory to one bit error, per millennium, per gigabyte of memory"

Then it takes google's study as gospel truth, "25,000 to 70,000 errors per billion device hours per megabit (about 2.5^(–7) x 10^(11) error/bit-h[ours])(i.e. about 5 single bit errors in 8 Gigabytes of RAM per hour using the top-end error rate), and more than 8% of DIMM memory modules affected by errors per year."

Maybe google has a problem the rest of the world doesn't....

So you suck as a sys admin. Try another hobby.

We who have studied geophysics know it includes climate drivers such as insolation.

You are ignorant, educate yourself before spewing first.

or you could spend 20 minutes reading about it on their web page instead of relying on slashdot summaries, you lazy git

but the point is that it's fringe language, not very popular at all and no job openings for it.
