The inevitable, albeit cynic response: Imagine how much DRAM could be saved if Facebook was shut down!
Or put differently: I have only the greatest respect for the Facebook engineers who come up with innovations like this. This one seems to save cost, lowers power use and improves performance all at the same time. If only this engineering talent could be steered to better causes. Facebook is a net negative for society. Here is hoping that emerging “ethical” technology startups eventually have as great of success as surveillance juggernauts Facebook and Google enjoy today.
