Its counter intuitive at first glance, but in my area (west coast) it is actually the renter-friendly voters who scare off development. Too many rental protections lead to developers opting for development in red-er pastures.

Imagine you invested $100 into my company. Let's say my company specialized in doing absolutely nothing, as in, the company had a bank account and produced/sold nothing. In our little toy world where you always make money on investments, two weeks in I returned $150 to you (you've made $50).
This brings up questions like "where did that extra $50 come from", but maybe you get the point of the original comment now.
This incentivizes people to blindly make lots of normally risky and/or stupid investments with no fear of consequences and the potential of high upside if one of them pays off. This lack of consequences is subsidized by someone (taxpayers), who need to fund the burden of all the salaries of the unproductive companies that were paying salaries / buying materials / etc.
If that money is consumed as capital to further the goals of the business there has to be the possibility that nothing is available that can be returned.
This is the underlying principle of investment, that the money is being utilized by someone for potential economic gain.
If that money is just parked such that its always available for a return then it isn't really an investment.
"... are shorthands for the vectors encoding the two basis states of a two dimensional vector space." How many beginner's know what a basis of a vector space is -- how about unitary operators -- Eigen stuff?
The word "beginner" does a disservice to the level you need to be at to start wadding into quantum stuff. At a minimum, you better not be a beginner of linear algebra!
There is, imo, no better way to discourage people than saying this stuff is for "beginners".
It's still early, but we do think that FHE is getting ready for prime time, and for being used in cloud applications. We are confident that it can be speed up by a factor of 100–1000x in the next 5 years, making FHE an ubiquitous technology for protecting privacy....
