In computer programming, Database as an IPC is a term used for the inappropriate use of a database to communicate information between processes (inter-process communication). Usually one process will update database records and another process will check those same records (often very frequently) for changes and act accordingly. The end result is poor performance and unnecessary work for the database. Systems using a database in this fashion often behave as if they are under heavy load at all times. This approach to interprocess communication is therefore often considered an anti-pattern.

The Barzilai paradox is a concept in mathematics which claims to show that utility theory is not the correct framework for measuring preference. It was proposed by Jonathan Barzilai.

Utility theory does not impose constraints on the values of preference scales for prizes, but the interpretation of the utility operation in terms of lotteries is required in the construction of these scales and this interpretation constrains the values of utility scales for lotteries. The theory permits lotteries that are prizes and this leads to a contradiction since an object may be both a prize, which is not constrained, and a lottery which is constrained. In other words, utility theory has one rule for assigning values to prizes and a different, conflicting, rule for assigning values to lotteries. Since a prize may be a lottery ticket, the conflicting rules are contradictory.
