I think everyone conceptualizes and encodes basic arithmetic stuff in their own way. Some memorize it symbolically, some visualize, some think of number lines, graphs and so on. I've always had a tetris thing going on in my head.

I think the grids are throwing people off. This is what the child is supposed to do: Grid (Draw in counters for second number, then count total of both grids) -> Fill in both bottom blanks with counted total -> Ten plus what equals

There seems to be a lot of clues but they all lead nowhere. I don't think the goal has to do with adding to ten.... e: I think I get it, but I don't know what you're supposed to do with the second grid. e2: Oooohhh. The grids are there to

As far as a handheld development machine, the Pandora comes to mind: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora_(console) Looks pretty powerful, roughly the size of a Nintendo DS. Of course, it won't replace a laptop... the keyboard size alone.

I'm trying to understand what you're asking. Are you proposing that browsers get more involved in a user's activities on the internet? That a browser should remember a [email address|username] for various websites... and that alone would be

Yes, every year will will be pretty interesting without "mystical interpretations of the celestial." I guess I failed to ask myself if 2013 will be more interesting than 2012. And the answer is, yes.

"Our simulation gets turned off" can be tacked on too, but I was trying to think of things that are real, current, problems. Or more probable in the near future. My main point is that 2012 onward will be interesting without mystical interpr

“The A players go, the B players stay and the C players get asked to leave.” Sounds fitting for a lot of places. "A players" tend to dislike the slowness of bureaucracies.

I'm a little sad that my best friend, the mind map, was not mentioned. Wouldn't have been too useful in that interview anyway. But as a writer, I have thought about this a lot. I call it "describing the surrounding things." When I try to de

This, and "The Machine Stops" by E M Forster ( http://www.plexus.org/forster/index.html ) are my two favorite science fiction shorts. Both very relevant, and slightly humorous where we surpassed the technology in the stories. A computer wei

Chris is a very warm, loving guy. The beef some people have with him for very irrelevant reasons, they need to get over it.

Ha! I started reading your comment, and I said to myself: "hey, this sounds like human_v2." Nice to see you around :) So, are you saying that the rote structure of nuanced math is too complicated for it to be accurate or meaningful? I'm sur

I wasn't too surprised that they cost a lot to make. I mean, after all, shopping carts cost ~175$. Though, 1300$ does sound more reasonable.

My moment happened while I was trying to explain how the statement "all movie critics are stupid" is not true. It occurred to me that no matter how well you write, or how articulate you are, that a good portion of people simply don't have t

My first thought was that the writer's boss said "and I want you to mention her haircut somewhere in there." And the writer couldn't find a good place and just said: "screw it."

I clicked your link, and I have to say that their idea of a really attractive WHR is really spot on (the example at the top). The last section is also very interesting. I'd like to see a study done on the people who find smaller hips more a

You need something to propel you forward. Declaring that you're brilliant after you accomplish something is sometimes fun, but feeling that you're brilliant 24/7 is like putting a brick wall in front of you. People don't often realize that
