Under a minute! How many times did you have to do it to get that fast? (I still can't do it in under ten.) It is a really wonderful video, and extremely effective teaching.

There's nothing admirable about "going against the grain" in itself. Probably most people in the upper echelons of tech wealth don't think it's a great idea to deport Muslims, and don't support Trump. I see no

It is very difficult to have a meaningful experiment if you change what you're doing in the experiment as you go. "Initial conditions" makes sense as "the conditions for this initial run". Or maybe, now that you&#x2
