Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) can be used to implement a shared storage abstraction or a shared nothing abstraction for distributed applications. We argue that the shared storage abstraction is an overkill for loosely coupled applications and that the shared nothing abstraction does not leverage all the benefits of RDMA.

The process of analyzing relational data typically involves tasks facilitating gaining familiarity or insights and coming up with findings or conclusions based on the data. This process is usually practiced by data experts (data scientists) that share their output with potentially less data expert audience (everyone).

People regularly use web search engines to investigate the efficacy of medical treatments. Search results can contain documents that present incorrect information that contradicts current established medical understanding on whether a treatment is helpful or not for a health issue. If people are influenced by the incorrect information found in search results, they can make harmful decisions about the appropriate treatment.
