As far as I am concerned this "new" language is just a repacking of |Liquid>, which Microsoft tried to make look Open Source by moving it to github, and some journos and analysts promptly fell for it, despite the License being right there in the repo.

Microsoft invests heavily to own the future of quantum computing. While now paying lip service to Open Source software, they also aggressively seek software patents in this space.

I have no doubt, that they plan to do the same thing to quantum computing that they did to Linux based Android. They don't have to fear Open Source products if they can collect patent fees.

My start-up tries to build an Open Source quantum computing tool chain, while also trying to secure as many fundamental patents that we can think of, that we then plan to extend to all other Open Source QC projects. (As long as the current laws are on the books, a defensive patent portfolio is the only option to keep companies like MS in check).

We also developed a free AWS image, Bayesforge, where we try to curate all important Open Source tools in this space. (With a docker image to follow soon).

We are just a three guys start-up, but having recently been accepted into the Quantum Machine Learning stream of Creative Destruction Lab in Toronto, we hope to finally attract some more VC money. But no matter the level of financing, start-ups won't be able to secure the quantum computing future from the likes of MS if we can't achieve the same community commitment that powered projects like GNU and Linux.

Did you do a Google Image search too?

On Yelp, this guy is Deepak Patel http://www.yelp.com/not_recomm...

But at Norwest Venture Partners, he's Sanjay Rao https://angel.co/norwest-ventu...

They also had no complaints at the BBB. http://www.bbb.org/losangeless...

Also, I looked on Google for the lawsuit National Collection Agency, Inc. Vs Link Corporation, Et Al Case Number 1-08-CV-129441

Couldn't find it.

Now if only we could get Woz to invest in our QC start-up :-)

We have QC AI patents for Bayesian learning on the gate model.

Don't let AI fall to the irrational artificial neural net crowd. Bayesian learning is the only way to keep them sane!

"..or pretend their life was so important and announce it to the world."

Smooth wombat, I disagree. IMO, our time really is important! That's why we use the microwave oven instead of a conventional oven. I am the first to complain about what I call "the MTV" generation of short attention spans, but please don't blame the user on this real problem, for it is this sort of attitude that only inhibits development real solutions, be it those discussed at http://angel.co/warmwave-technologies or, more generally, any solution to any problem, issue, or mere tech nuisance we currently face.

I think one of the most intriguing thing in the article is the mention of an "attention economy" startup, Belua. The name does fit belua (not bellua), ae, f a beast, wild beast, monster: fera: saeva, H.: Lernae, the Hydra, V.: in usu beluarum: quantum natura hominis pecudes reliquaque belua, lower animals. Hobbes' Leviathan comes to mind.

"Countly -- LIBYA!!....serious wtf here. All contact info is for Libyan addresses.

It appears that even Countly--apparently based in Libya--has it's connections to San Francisco in the form of angel investor Philipp Moehring.

I say apparently, because I suspect that this might be a case of domain usage to hide the actual country doing the collecting of data, a situation made possible by "reserved" domains and the secondary domain market. Simply put, Countly may have nothing to do with Libya at all.

There's something that calls itself 'Princeton Alumni Weekly' that lists Raj Shah as a F-16 fighter pilot.

This seems to match his mini resume in AngelList:

CEO of Morta Security. Strong business (McKinsey, private equity) and government (@USAF F-16 pilot, DoD, NSA) background. @Wharton MBA, @Princeton undergrad.

Nevermind.
