There's always the next thing. That's why there never should be compromises and exceptions.
Trump should sign an order for monkeys to fly out of my ass. It would probably happen first.
Don't bother the answer is 42.
I know that journalism is dead because any good journalist would put him on the spot and ask him to define quantum. Or computer. But he was thrown softballs for years and then finally consolidated control of journalistic access and ownership
He can't design himself out of a paper bag. He also can't define either of those two words, so your point still stands.
Quantum Leap, great show. Scott Bakula, very handsome man. Could go back and time to find the prettiest ladies, at any age. We have the best scientists working on it.
Something like that
I would pay premium to see chunk interview him.
Here comes another pump & dump. Stay tuned. Probably Rigetti, D-Wave, and/or an OTC.
Good luck with that, how about a star trek replicator while you're at it.

Orange Clown just wants to get ~~something~~ everything under his name. We can change it all to Obama later.
2028!? I think they still need a room temperature superconductor first.
WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday ordered a push to build a powerful quantum computer for scientific research and speed efforts to protect government systems from related cyber threats, bolstering U.S. efforts in its race with China for a technology that could upend science and cybersecurity.
"We believe this can happen by 2028," Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said in a call previewing the moves and referring to the quantum computer.
Trump signed two executive orders, one of which seeks to protect government computers against quantum computer-fueled cyberattacks by setting a goal of migrating key government computing systems to post-quantum cryptography by 2030 or 2031.
Quantum computers use the laws of quantum physics to process information in ways that can solve certain complex problems far faster than even today's supercomputers. They could unscramble the encryption that protects computers from hacking, raising fears of aggressive cyberattacks.
The orders underscore the importance the Trump administration places on securing U.S. leadership in the quantum race against China - which could fuel advances in artificial intelligence, materials science and chemistry - while also protecting against the cybersecurity threats posed by the technology.
The order also calls for the Pentagon to deploy quantum sensors by 2028. Such sensors can help aircraft navigate in war zones where global positioning systems have been disrupted and, when put in satellites, could also be used to detect underground activity such as the construction of tunnels or missile silos from space.
“There’s lots of interesting things quantum sensing can bring before quantum computing," said Matthew Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion , who attended the signing of the order in the Oval Office. "It's possible to meet these types of timelines.”
Last month, the Commerce Department announced it would take $2 billion in equity stakes across nine quantum-computing companies, including a new IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab venture.
One of the orders also aims to strengthen international cooperation on intellectual property protections and supply chain security measures "in light of competitors and adversaries looking to undermine U.S. economic and national security," Kratsios said.
Another measure included in the package instructs agencies to develop plans for deploying quantum-enabled sensors and networks in the next five years.
So the order is to get quantum computing up by 2028 and to switch to post quantum encryption by 2030. This seems backwards.
Should be easy since they have set themselves up for big projects like this. Between neutering science and gutting a bunch of government programs/departments, I totally see them hitting this goal.
Oh yeah this is a subtle one. Quantum computers are barely a scientific toy, they know we're close to prime time so naturally trump's interested in them.
