- Bjoern 16y agoI found this very interesting, especially that they have powerful supercomputers now in China.

- rglovejoy 16y agoNot sure why this wasn't caught when I submitted this.
- gjm11 16y agoBecause the URL is different in a way that looks substantial unless you happen to know how the BBC organizes its stories. Which, as it happens, hasn't been built into the HN software. (It's news.bbc.co.uk/1/... versus news.bbc.co.uk/2/... which I think -- but my recollection is hazy and my google-fu currently insufficient to check -- they use to distinguish between "UK" and "world" versions of their site. Whether there's any actual difference any more, I don't know. In this instance the page content is the same each way apart from 2 characters in the URL of some web-analytics tracking thing.)
- alttab 16y agoIBM and Bull (Bull works almost wholly with IBM) own 100% of the super computers marked as "classified," which are in the USA, UK, and Russia.
- cpg 16y agoPretty cool! Check out the "By OS" button - most of the graph is Linux. Way to go! :)
- nopinsight 16y agoInterestingly, the vast majority of the top 500 supercomputers are owned by countries with permanent membership in UN's security council with the exceptions of Germany and Japan, the leaders of the Axis in WWII.
