> I highly doubt Google/Baidu will get into business of recognizing manufacturing defects in fidget spinners or analyzing sensory data

They will build platforms for:

- IoT - single robotic KIT/SDK, which allows you to easily install sensors and integrate data into rest of the platform

- Cloud ML - image recognition/models optimization - will allow to train model and detect defects from previous step by two mouse clicks

and take a lot of added value from small companies.

Where did you read this?..

It is a lawyer's fees industry's size, not a legal software industry's size..

Do lawyers usually send very detailed itemized bills?

Is this project free for commercial usage?

They move much less, and have much more fat and maybe something else in them.

But "datacenter systems" are only 170B out of 3.5T there..

It depends. You can store 4TB on single HDD, but reading and processing it can take many hours, so you may want big data stack to have your task paralleled.

In random cloud provider you may not get FS with compression on your machine..

Part of ecosystem. See how firebase today is integrated with analytics/ads.

> I really want a statically typed Python.

Can golang fill this role?

And what are the specs for this node? CPU, RAM?

> What about support at the driver level for Java and .NET applications or heterogeneous database schemas?

I guess MariaDB JDBC driver already has two phase commit logic, because MySql has it for decade. It is enough for distributed transactions in "heterogeneous database schemas".

Will this cause double-buffering (one buffer for host FS and another for BTRFS) with doubled RAM consumption?
