g3.xlarge is many times faster and spot prices are like 0.5$ per hour.

No, ELECTRON spin is not exactly a direction, as in 3D vector. In every direction, it can be +1 or -1. It follows different transformation than a vector(wigner matrix for j=1/2 and 1). Expressions like direction |z> and |x> are not independent in this case.

Photon spin is actually a vector, as with all spin 1 particle.

Oh, thanks. You are correct that it is very noisy. Just a single CNOT is giving me 15% error.

> Fortunately for 1) (I think) it currently takes 2^512 (?) operations to break the private/public algorithm which is unfeasible to brute-force on normal hardware but a QC brings it down to 2^128

Where have you got that info? Quantum computers can break ECDSA in polynomial function of 512.

How?

AFAIK this is a simulation, not real quantum machines.

Good for them that they can spend bitcoin cash without people noticing.

> With regards to stability, I had no issues with either AWS, Softlayer or Hetzner. However, when running a long task (the benchmark with Tensorflow-GPU) on GCE, the job abruptly stopped after a few days without showing any errors, and I couldn’t figure out why. A repeated attempt also resulted in the same failure.

I encountered same error with google cloud ML engine. No errors on warning when shutting down. Any idea why?

What? That was really not the point. The GP's point was 'As long as India periphery is culturally diverse from Hindi core, India is not going to get anywhere', which is kind of opposite of what you are saying. Also see 'India will develop unevenly Gujarat, Maharashtra, TN, AP will forge ahead' which shows kind of unhappiness from development of some areas.

Looks too good deal. Which city do you live in?

Current jio price is 459 for 84 days, 1 GB per day.

That was a racist comment. He/She was referring to Hindi belt, which contains UP, Bihar, MP, the capital Delhi and likes. Many of the regions are poorest in India. This is commonly referred to as core of India.

What. I didn't know that.

What do you mean when you say management fucked up: they don't think it's worth to invest in quality of apple software? This is a decision, not a fuck up.
