I mean raft and similar algorithms run multiple verification machines because a single point of failure is a single point of failure.

Raft, Paxos, and other consensus algorithms add even more overhead. Imagine running every Google query through Raft and think how long it will take and how much extra hardware would be needed.

ECC memory is just as fast as non-ECC memory, and only cost a little more.

Your comment sounded like "your recursive definition is impossible".

I am totally for ECC and was flabbergasted when it went away. But the article makes sense since I remember Intel pushing hard to keep it out of the consumer space. The freaking QX6800 didn't support ECC and it retailed for over a grand.
