I.e. the same regulatory body that oversees the largest Canadian stock exchange approved this ICO.
The goal is to create a platform that allows further ICOs with oversight and investor protection.
This means on this kind of platform a company couldn't just vanish and run away with the funds. (At least not any more than any publicly traded company can).

So pointing out that you have a problem with something that MS is doing and are starting an Open Source company to do something about it, is now considered trolling on/.
Boy, this place really has gone to shit. Can we now have Jon Katz back pls?
You can't just port classical software to a quantum computer.
At this time to use these machines you have to understand them on a very low level, i.e. what kind of universal quantum gate sets they can implement.
That's what a quantum compiler is targeting, yet even those compilers you feed very low level quantum circuit models of what you want to run on the machines. To make this usable for coders, we will need a higher abstraction level than that.
Before we can have any Open Source software on these machines we need an Open Source compiler toolchain, which my start-up is working on, but apparently my previous post on this was regarded as attention whoring and promptly down modded into oblivion.
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.
All true, yet at its heart every unitary evolution of a quantum algo is necessarily reversible. The energy requirements simply stem from the enormous effort required to cool and insulate the QC chip.
"Still, a practical reversible computer has yet to be built using this or other approaches."
Since quantum computers of any kind have to be reversible due to the very nature of QM, every realization of quantum computation is a reversible computer.
Back when the Web was created it was thought to bring on a new age of enlightenment.
The creators of the Web and Internet were highly educated and enlightened individuals, who suffered from a confirmation bias, since most of their immediate peers shared their level of sophistication.
A first reality check came when the AOL and Compuserve crowds invaded the Web.
Now we have a full on self re-enforced vicious circle as the ignorance feeds on itself in an ever more connected world.
Unfortunately, ignorant and uneducated people are far more numerous, not even trained in the most basic skills of discerning the truthfulness of information.
What's you point? Is there anything wrong with being a proud redneck?
At any rate, my point was we pretty much ended up living in accordance with very conservative values, although this was never our goal, and there is no religion prodding us to live that way.

... we first have to build the Terminator so that we understand how to regulate it.
There's actually a first regulator approved ICO underway in North America right now, in Ontario.
I.e. the same regulatory body that oversees the largest Canadian stock exchange approved this ICO.

This has been hyped and distorted to a ridiculous degree
by pop science journos.
Proofs only work for pure math.
These researchers simply proved a theorem in their model which IMHO does not look very biological to begin with.
Yeah, because Russia really didn't have enough Uranium already to build some nukes ...
I think you got your genders confused.
OK ...

Most concerning to me, is that they pour billions into owning the quantum computing space, locking up the future of computing.
They will patent troll the heck out of it.

Look, I admire Reality Winner, but what she leaked, and the personal notes that Comey passed on to the press, are classified very differently.
The fact that you seem to be entirely ignorant of this, very much disqualifies your musing on that point.
Whereas your judgment is obviously completely unbiased.
All true, yet at its heart every unitary evolution of a quantum algo is necessarily reversible. The energy requirements simply stem from the enormous effort required to cool and insulate the QC chip.
Was my first Linux distribution with a 0.97 kernel. Good times.
"Still, a practical reversible computer has yet to be built using this or other approaches."
Since quantum computers of any kind have to be reversible due to the very nature of QM, every realization of quantum computation is a reversible computer.
This includes the controversial D-Wave machine as well IBM's QC chip that you can play with online.

Inevitably scientific facts will be drowned out.
Clearly, you are not following their quantum computing research.

Since Woz already has his own opera.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
The point is that both cedar wood and plastics are rooted in organic chemistry. Steel makes for poor bacteria food.

That's all you have left, isn't it? The fact that he pisses of liberals.
Probably would shoot yourself in the foot if you thought it'll upset a snowflake.
Maybe you should try that.
No longer living in the US I find the whole thing extremely entertaining.
Trump's antics always made me laugh - still do. He is such an absurdity in the flesh.
Unless you happen to build with cedar. Which incidentally has been around for a very long time, too.
The adaption to plastic will happen, but it won't be anything as fast and furious as you seem to think.
You seem to be stuck in binary thinking.
The only thing new about this is that Germany is fed up with not having its existing hate speech laws enforced by F*book.
And these laws have been there since the country existed, and they have very much been enforced in RL.
Dude you know about that whole virginity thing? Nobody clued you in? If you'd ever encountered a hymen you'd knew it.
Women like sex too. Don't just push that aside like it's such a shameful thing for a woman to want.
Nothing shameful about it, but relying on non-verbal cues is not want you want to do in this situation.
