How do you check the answer for accuracy in a system that is inherently indeterminant?
And more importantly, if you are checking the answer, it means you already know the answer, so why do you need a quantum computer to tell you what you already know?
I should stop asking obvious questions.

Build it on the site of an ancient Indian cat burial. Then it doesn't matter what answers it gives - you are screwed!

Microsoft has been dabbling in the automotive world for some time now, starting with Windows CE for Automotive way back in 2001, and the company is still providing backend services for car companies via Microsoft Connected Vehicle Platform.

Encrypted email service ProtonMail has become embroiled in a minor scandal after responding to a legal request to hand over a user's IP address and details of the devices he used to access his mailbox to Swiss police – resulting in the user's arrest. They don't log it, but they do store it on their servers in a police-readable format?
Let's swing that past legal and see if it CYA
