Donald Trump decides economical war by establishing taxes for steel and aluminium imported from so called "allies" in Europe and Canada, this in the name of the protection of the national security.

Never too late to realize that the first threat for USA security is precisely their president...

We will see if the results are good in the end.

Good for who ?

For the world.

C'mon, the world is full of contradictory interests, what is good for one is bad for another one. But perhaps it's not the place here for talking about all of this.

This Supercomputer Can Calculate in 1 Second What Would Take You 6 Billion Years


To keep Summit from overheating, more than 4,000 gallons of water pump through its cooling system every minute 

It's shiny, fast and ultrapowerful. A physics laboratory in Tennessee just unveiled Summit, likely to be named the world's speediest and smartest supercomputer.The supercomputer — which fills a server room the size of two tennis courts — can spit out answers to 200 quadrillion (or 200 with 15 zeros) calculations per second, or 200 petaflops, according to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where the supercomputer resides."If every person on the world completed one calculation per second, it would take the world population 305 days to do what Summit can do in 1 second," according to an ORNLstatement.Put another way, if one person were to run the calculations, hypothetically, it would take 2.3 trillion days, or 6.35 billion years.
