I think it is criminal to put 4-year-old kids in school for 27.5 hours a week. It has to cut into useful skill-development time of playing.

Should it be called a "language" when it has grammar but no semantics? (just curious)

So it emits particles at near-light-speeds aimed towards us. Some questions (possibly stupid). Are they still at near-light-speed when the get to us? How can you detect something going so fast? Aren't there weird relativistic behaviors

Well, usually driving over one with rubber tires causes no problem. One in the air would be detectable, no?

I worked with the creator of the first easter egg, David Ramsey. In the early 80's he added a "Zebra Lady" to Mac Paint. It made a lot of press when it was discovered.

At our local McDonald's there are 9 kiosks and yet no one is ever at one. The lines at the human cashiers are as long as ever.

> we actually implemented a simulator for the game and AI players who could play it together. Wow. If they got tired of quantum they could go into AI. AI good enough to simulate how hard a game is, is impressive.

That they could be a placebo was an after-thought. I should have known. Placebos are especially effective when the problem is worrying about something that probably won't happen.

No need to compare. Go to easyeda.com. You can get 10 boards for $2 (!). I have gotten a dozen or so sets of boards and they have gotten here in less than a week. (Not affiliated, yadda yadda yadda).

At least this will work better than the copper bracelets tons of people wear on cruises. I couldn't convince my daughters they were b.s. But maybe I shouldn't interfere with the placebo effect. Speaking of placebos, I wonder how
