Google also issued its own response to the Troyer paper, noting that in its tests the firm is getting computational speeds of over 35,500 times that of conventional computing systems.
Yeah, but is that speedup outside of the error ranges? And what problems are they solving? Movie recommendations?
This artist has flunked art school and now goes into "scientific illustrations" unencumbered by any idea of what he's drawing about.
A "black hole" is not a Hollywood-style sinkhole in space. It "looks" like this:

excise the malignant tumor that is Luxembourg
This has been tried by national-socialists with mixed success and is being tried by socialists and "liberals" from France and Germany at repeat intervals.
But yes, having a country that allows a ultra-low-low VAT level of 15% to even exist (which is patently unfair to countries which need to make do with 20% VAT or higher) and banks for which one actually needs to have a warrant before probing of bank accounts may begin is totally inimical to the idea of pan-socialistic Yurop.
Luxembourg has also good points: they often openly fellate officals from USA and Yuropocrats from other Yuropean capitals, and try very hard to be "down with the kids", launching themselves into totally retarded taxpayer-funded glory projects which come a cropper. So there is hope yet.
They also host AWACS and the tomb of general Patton IIRC.
It's probably the kind of problem a Quantum computer would be ideal for solving though these days.
Not as far as I know.
A highly-parallel classical one with a shared memory would be better.
Or you can build an actual physical system modeling your problem, then let it anneal. An "analog computer"...
watch out for simulated annealing though - in economics that's called Marxism and not allowed
I don't get this joke at all. Marxism is related to Simulated Annealing how?
The internet ban is designed to stop Isis minions from communicating with each other and is also aimed at hobbling its propaganda machine.
I suppose they will continue to run on the non-lethal aid we so helpfully provided via Syria.
Interventionism 20:14: "Truly as like Rommel they will ride of the desert, wielding the out AKM the roman-named one provided them during the surge days. And the day will come where the nation of Shia Persia will again be the non-enemy of the country that begat the Balfour declaration and the Lord Blair will awaken, darkly, calling for intervention and bombing runs"
Care to explain?
Java's a spawn of theoretical computer scientists, not people who target productivity. Arbitrary complexity abounds.
I don't even know what to say about this kind of bullshit. You are probably one of the young ones who have entered IT in the last couple of years. Welcome. You have much to learn.
Theoretical computer scientists ... Really? If you want LISP, you know where to find it. You can even use Clojure.
[Nebulous rant conflating various points deleted]
Ever gone to see a computer bookstore and looked at the Java section. Bloated with books, each 500pp, of endless Java libraries. Like, can it do anything out of the box on its own?
Holy shit, there are books! TL;DR everyhwere. There are choices that I must make!! Why can'I matrixdownload Mad Programmer Skillz??? RAGE!!!
Java, in 2014, shows all the qualities of Cobol in the 90s. Lots of jobs, stodgy, works for business, much used. Just as fun to write as well.
Uh... yeah? So? This is bad how? Except for the guy who desperately needs to be down with the kids, of course.
Except, more complicated. Cuz, that's like what real computer programmers should aim for - complexity, which we all know makes for better code.
This coming from someone who prefers a Microsoft solution. But, you take your decisions and make your choices. You can leave your "complexity" at the door if you like to do that.
would choose this over Java a million times and then some...
Seriously, why would anyone choose the "I can do Java too - but only on MY OS, SO THERE NYA NYA" monoculture effort by the Big Extinguishing Starfish from Redmond? A million times and then some, even.
A few beers short of sixpack IMNSHO.
In Snow Crash The "Pizza Deliverator" for Uncle Enzo's "CosaNostra Pizza Delivery" outfit had a car which projected boiling flames to scare the eejits off the street:
The Deliverator is a Type A driver with rabies. He is zeroing in on his home base, CosaNostra Pizza #3569, cranking up the left lane of CSV-5 at a hundred and twenty kilometers. His car is an invisible black lozenge, just a dark place that reflects the tunnel of franchise signs - the loglo. A row of orange lights burbles and churns across the front, where the grille would be if this were an air-breathing car. The orange light looks like a gasoline fire. It comes in through people's rear windows, bounces off their rearview mirrors, projects a fiery mask across their eyes, reaches into their subconscious, and unearths terrible fears of being pinned, fully conscious, under a detonating gas tank, makes them want to pull over and let the Deliverator overtake them in his black chariot of pepperoni fire.
The correct answer would have been "MU", of course.
I thought one only encounters "questions that one MUST answer wrongly [by outputting obsolete stuff, hearsay, frank incomprehension, random lore and affirmations by outsourcees from faraway lands]" only in those collectible certification programs?
Ok, bring it on.
To be fair, there was some periodic modulation in a decay time test correlated with Earth's position relative to the sun. Neutrino flux influencing decay times? Unlikely, but...
At the present time, this is no further than the "That's odd..." stage.
Frankly, I am mightily confused by this rant.
I can only picture Doc Brown taking a large gulp of air then going into a 30 seconds long phrase while he looks at me with bulging eyes
Scary.
The headline is Computer science. The blurb is vague and hints at engineering.
Where I got my Magister Scientiae (it is a "Master of Science", not a "Master of Engineering", incidentally) we called it "Computer Science". The curriculum tried to cover the spectrum from soldering circuits to programming (in the large and small, although the "large" part was very much missing as I learned later) to theoretical informatics to pure mathematics. It was also an engineering school.
