NBC argues that there’s nothing wrong with the FISA warrant nbcnews.com/news/crime-cou… Let’s see what they say.
“The Russia investigation wasn't launched because of Carter Page.” That has nothing to do with the warrant. I’m not even sure why they included it, other than to confuse their readers. Who cares how the investigation started? What’s the probable cause for the warrant?
“The so-called dossier formed only a smart part of the evidence used to meet the legal burden of establishing "probable cause" that Page was an agent of Russia.” Of course they go on to NOT list any of the rest of the evidence. Because they can’t.

The Lawfare blog has come out in defense of the FISA warrants. What to Make of the Carter Page FISA Applications lawfareblog.com/what-make-cart… It’s pretty weak tea.
It begins by reviewing the history leading up to the release of the applications, verifications and warrants, including the Nunes and Dem memos. It goes without saying that they defend the Democrat version since they are leftists themselves.
But then he begins his argument by discussing the footnote revealing Steele’s bias.

I’m starting a thread to document things I find in the FISA warrants that were just released. These will be in the form of observations I make as I work my way through it. First of all, the 412 pages includes all four warrants and the associated documentation.
Secondly, the first thing that stands out to me is that the FBI perjured themselves in the application for the warrant. Why do I say this? Because it includes this.

Today’s morning session at the @InHenriPoincare is a tutorial “Verification of Quantum computing” by Elham Kashefi

A recent review: arXiv:1706.06984 arxiv.org/abs/1709.06984

#LTQI
Elham Kashefi: Verfication addresses different questions.
1) Test the hardware (tomography like)

2) Test the application: Test is honest behaviour if we use quantum computer for secrecy, test if the answer is correct if we use QC for speed
#LTQI
Elham Kashefi: If a QC solves a classically intractable problem, how can we “verify” the outcome of experiment ?
In complexity ∃MA, Merlin-Arthur: problems who can be verified in BPP when given a proof (aka witness).
But we thing BPQ≠MA.
Even if BQP⊆MA, proof is hard to find
